IW, thanks for that DJ quote. I agree with it, but then again I don't think that's they only way to stalk oneself. Another way is to simply become inwardly silent and stalk those moments when we are diverted from that silent core state from within which impeccability naturally flows...and then take steps to prevent the diversion from happening when it starts to happen.
One example of a kind of mutual stalking, from my distant past, involves the witnessing technique I mentioned previously. I got together with another warrior to stalk a certain scene in which my buttons were pushed...my self importance was inflamed...my FI was activtated. The scene itself involved a time when I was working in carpentry. I and another carpenter I worked for were undertaking some repairs on a woman's house. The house itself was quite luxurious, stationed in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in Southern California were I lived at the time. I remember being friendly with the owner towards the beginning of the job, making some gesture of greeting after which I felt she kind of snubbed me during the exchange. When she did that, I reacted inwardly with a barrage of negative feelings bolstered by negative thoughts about her, one of which was that she was a "snobby rich ****!" I remember that thought specifically LOL. The thoughts themselves cropped up concurrently with a feeling of bodily muscular tension...kind of like coiling down or hunching over very subtly...with a darkening of my awareness/perception of everything else going on around me via this disruptive, flickering, cloak-like sensation over my head (that's the FI active...that darkening feeling over the head/awareness....WHOA! Huge bolt of lightening with crack of thunder RIGHT NOW just outside the window where I'm working! Just as I typed that last line! ). That reaction to the lady kind of ruined my day, ushering in the dialog which kept me preoccupied for hours afterwards.
With the witnessing technique, I got together with another warrior and recapped that scene to him..describing everything going on in the scene both with my inner dialog...the whole "rich ****" diatribe ...and my bodily reaction...curling up with bodily muscular tension. In the practise, after recounting the scene and my bodily feelings, the warrior doing the "witnessing"....the one listening to my story...asked me to repeat the position of bodily tension...to adopt that position. Doing so brought the scene back more vividly with all those nasty thoughts. Then the witness asked me to take a breath and release all that bodily tension associated with those negative thoughts which transpired in that scene...and when I did that, the thoughts dissipated and a more expansive, fresh, "enlightened" perspective was allowed to shine through that space that I opened up by unraveling/releasing my bodily position. Thoughts that the woman was likely just preoccupied with some thoughts about some issues going on in her life...maybe with her older kids who were with her at the house those few days. That's why she wasn't as responsive to my greeting...I mean I do the same thing sometimes when I have a lot on my mind, don't I? And even if she is a "rich ****" acting dismissively, it's hardly her fault, entirely. People get conditioned into such states of existence the same way I got conditioned into mine....by the predation of the FI forcing us into ridicuous, petty behavior. And I've got a chance to change...to have some freedom. Maybe she doesn't have the same chance right now....therefore I should be more tolerant...more forgiving when people act harshly. I would want the same for myself...because I've acted harshly myself plenty of times. Those kinds of thoughts came into that silent space...and those thoughts allowed me to release my grip on that scene. Let go of lingering resentment, which has energetic implications.
So, all that fresh, clear, expansive insight came flooding into the open space of my body......the open space of the silence that the body position of alignment helped to foster with that witnessing technique. So that's one example of a mutual self stalking. In that technique, one stalks the body position of alignment with Spirit...with Intent. To see how opening channels to allow for free flow of energy helps to open up to broader more expansive insights...and how this in turn, lends itself to seeking to remain in that state of alignment....which is unbending intent...which is inwardly silent....which leads to impeccability. So really, for me, stalking is more about stalking that inward shift towards alignment....instead of engaging in surreptitious behavior to help break down old behavior, although this is a perfectly valid approach as well, as was proven by the old sorcerers.
