sorry to jump in here, but i see sedna makes a great case and is right to ask for examples, which none of us have given....
for me, this is a very simple example of stalking:
say i wake up in a mood. i have the power to become aware of that mood and then choose with awareness what i would like to be for that day, or i can sit back and say, oh world, have your way with me.... and feel bad for myself and give in to my mood. the first thing i do is intend to shift my mood. i would like to be happier, have more energy, feel good about being alive in my body. so first is my intent to "stalk" the mood of happiness. and then, i prop my intent by actions - what would i do if i were feeling happy, i ask myself? well, i'd smile, i'd wave to neighbors i pass on the street... i choose to wear something bright instead of something dark.... and before i know it, i am no longer acting happy. i am happy.
sedna asks for examples, and though im not sure that was directed at me, at least i can give an example of a practical way to begin using stalking as i define it. it is something anyone can do..... and in the realm of sorcery, when the range of perceptions you may use becomes greater and greater, your capacity for intending shifts becomes greater. i intend to become lucid, i intend to move into my dreaming body, i intend to shapeshift..... these sorts of things. we all have the inventory for something like "bad mood/good mood"... so we start there. stalking (fixating AP) necessitates dreaming (moving AP) ... and coherence (making sense of what you are observing) necessitates stalking. the two go hand in hand. the main reason i don't relate to this phrase of "stalking others" is because the person claiming that they are stalking is not shifting their AP. they are sitting with it in a rigid position and insisting others shift. ironically, maybe it does help the other person become more fluid in a really weird way, but it sure as hell doesn't help the "stalker" one bit, because it only makes them more rigid.
