He imparted his personal insight to the one and only pupil who could perpetuate this knowledge and share it with the world.

Rollo May defines power as the ability to cause or prevent change; innocence, on the other hand, is the conscious divesting of one's power to make it seem a virtue, a form of powerlessness that Dr. May sees as particularly American in nature.
