The secret of slipping out of the grip of social conditioning lies in the fact that the hunter places himself in a position that is beyond psychological manipulation.
THE HUNTER HANDLES HIS WORLD WITH SUCH CARE THAT HE LEAVES NO TRAIL BEHIND HIM.
TO LEAVE A TRAIL WOULD BE TO BECOME HUNTED BY SOMETHING MORE POWERFUL THAN HIMSELF.
This does not mean that the hunter becomes a recluse. This would be impossible, for in order to be a hunter he must operate in the world and be very much a part of it. Therefore the hunter does not try to hide from the world, but rather ensures that he does not allow himself to become the hunted.
THE ART OF THE HUNTER LIES IN HIS ABILITY TO CHOOSE BOTH THE TIMING AND THE LOCATION OF HIS APPEARANCE.
BY DOING THIS HIS INTERACTION WITH THE WORLD BECOMES CALCULATED AND FRUGAL,
AND THUS THE HUNTER AVOIDS DEPLETING BOTH HIMSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND HIM.
THE HUNTER IS CONFIDENT IN HIS ABILITIES AS A HUNTER AND THEREFORE DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO WORRY.
WORRY CAUSES MAN TO CLING FRANTICALLY TO HIS WORLD, WHATEVER THAT WORLD MAY BE,
AND BY CLINGING HE DEPLETES BOTH HIMSELF AND HIS WORLD.
The principal reason why people tend to become the hunted is because they have no real confidence in themselves, and therefore they always seek approval and support from those around them. Obviously, if people behave like this, they will never escape the clutches of social conditioning, and so will remain for ever at the mercy of others. In this context we see that worry is the most debilitating cause of dependancy. People will find all sorts of things to worry about and, without even realising what it is they are doing, they constantly undermine their own strength and confidence through their worrying.
