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.
Which is exactly what I was seeing as well.
The way I see others change, however, is to deny or withdraw parts of themself for the sake of getting along...and in my view that is to become less alive.
That was a great example you gave btw...however, I wonder why not just call it intending happiness? If you say to another than when you wake up unhappy and want to be happy and intend happiness people get that instantly. Or even maybe creating happiness?
Part of the reason that so much of this path is unavailable to others is not, imo, because others lack the wherewithall, but because the terms make it needlessly confusing.
The one thing that people on this path have over others is the ability to sort of have a gap between them and what is happening and in that gap be able to choose what it is they'd like to do. Like how you explain with waking up one way and choosing another.
