Why do people need to *be* empowered? 

Not just people, but everything.


Why can they not find the power for themselves?

You mean by retiring to a cave and contemplating power? 


That's one way ... it works for some.


For the rest of us it comes down to being empowered by a multitude 

of

sources, including analytical ones. 


Again, I'm not sure.  I'm leery of "being empowered" - that rather
smacks of someone/something else *giving* power to another.

I'd prefer a word that meant "taking power" rather than being given
power.

It depends on the type of power.
Political, it's *always* a case of taking.
With information (data) that's not necessarily so if someone tells you something you find useful.
