"I sat down by some rocks. I had a terrible headache. Don Juan put his hand on my head and whispered in my ear that I had to skin the rabbit and roast it before the twilight was over.
I felt nauseated. He very patiently talked to me as if he were talking to a child. He said that the powers that guided men or animals had led that particular rabbit to me, in the same way they will lead me to my own death. He said the rabbit's death had been a gift for me in exactly the same
way my own death will be a gift for something or someone else.
I was dizzy.
The simple events of that day had crushed me. I tried to think that it was only a rabbit; I could not, however, shake off the uncanny identification I had had with it.
Don Juan said that I needed to eat some of its meat, if only a morsel, in order to validate my finding.
"I can't do that," I protested meekly.
"We are dregs in the hands of those forces," he snapped at me. "So stop your self-importance and use this gift properly."
I picked up the rabbit; it was warm.
Don Juan leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Your trap was his last battle on earth. I told you, he had no more time to roam in this marvelous desert."

“...that was the way human beings are; they love to be told what to do, but they love even more to fight and not do what they are told, and thus they get entangled in hating the one who told them in the first place.”
― Don Juan, Second Ring of Power
“The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be.”

"Is it so terrible to be a timid man?"
"No. It isn't if you are going to be immortal, but if you are going to die there is no time for
timidity, simply because timidity makes you, cling to something that exists only in your thoughts.
It soothes you while everything is at a lull, but then the awesome, mysterious world will open its
mouth for you, as it will open for every one of us, and then you will realize that your sure ways
were not sure at all. Being timid prevents us from examining and exploiting our lot as men."
"It is not natural to live with the constant idea of our death, don Juan."
"Our death is waiting and this very act we're performing now may well be our last battle on
earth," he replied in a solemn voice.
"I call it a battle because it is a struggle. Most people move
from act to act without any struggle or thought. A hunter, on the contrary, assesses every act; and
since he has an intimate knowledge of his death, he proceeds judiciously, as if every act were his
last battle. Only a fool would fail to notice the advantage a hunter has over his fellow men. A
hunter gives his last battle its due respect. It's only natural that his last act on earth should be the
best of himself. It's pleasurable that way. It dulls the edge of his fright." - Don Juan

"Look at me," he said. "I have no doubts or remorse. Everything I do is my decision and my
responsibility. The simplest thing I do, to take you for a walk in the desert, for instance, may very
well mean my death. Death is stalking me. Therefore, I have no room for doubts or remorse. If I
have to die as a result of taking you for a walk, then I must die.
"You, on the other hand, feel that you are immortal, and the decisions of an immortal man can
be cancelled or regretted or doubted. In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no
time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions."
- Don Juan Matus
In the Toltec Knowledge system I trained in, this 'fifth' enemy is regarded as the deadliest of them all!
Toltec wisdom aims to provide the warrior with a life that makes him/her virtually immune to this enemy or at least negate it's poison to the point where it's effect is negligible.

"Your father knows everything about you", he said. "So he has you all figured out. He knows who you are and what you do, and there is no power on earth that can make him change his mind about you". Don Juan said that everybody that knew me had an idea about me, and that I kept feeding the idea with everything I did.
"Don't you see ?", he asked dramatically. "You must renew your personal history by telling your parents, your relatives, and your friends everything you do. On the other hand, if you have no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with your acts. And above all no one pins you down with their thoughts.".
"But that's absurd", I protested. "Why shouldn't people know me ? What's wrong with that ?"
"What's wrong is that once they know you, you are an affair taken for granted and from that moment on you won't be able to break the tie of their thoughts. I personally like the ultimate freedom of being unknown. No one knows me with steadfast certainty, the way people know you, for instance".
"But that would be lying".
"I'm not concerned with lies or truths", he said severely. "Lies are lies only if you have personal history".
