The primary purpose of stalking (for warriors)

[Nu Lang]

for instance, when the nagual julian would appear to don juan as an old man, or a young man... he was not stalking don-juan, he stalked the ap points for those perceptions, and was so fluid that he became thirty years old, or seventy. his personal power is what shifts don juan's ap to "agree" with his. Moth I agree with you that power decides everything, but there is an awareness on the part of the stalker still, they follow power but they know that and often can see up ahead what is to come (omens help here), then set intent. There is the other aspect that... not all is known so there are surprises too. Power must be followed and if so the stalker will not err.
