Good post Blackbeard.
It relates to some things that I've thought about lately.
Life is a challenge to all of us. And if approached in a certain way we grow into strong human beings just by experience and wisdom gained in living it.
The sorcerer's way or the way of a man of knowledge or warrior for that matter is a set-up. It is a "fast track" to wisdom and maturity.
Many of the elements of this system are extreme exercises to get us where we are going faster.
Turning off the internal dialog. "Be still and know that I Am God." Turns off or short circuits our usually constant servitude to the Tonal. Sometimes it is termed "bypassing the critical" element of our minds.
Not-doing twists the filtering or allows us alternative filtering of what the tonal says is the way things really are.
These two put together are a super-charged way of bypassing the dictates of the Tonal or world view.
Stalking is a way to lose yourself. "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves", Jesus said.
We tend to be harmless as serpents and wise as doves if left to our own devices. To strike back at any slight to our character.
Just some thoughts. Your comparison to Special forces is very appropriate, I think.Bob
