I understand what you are saying, but I am just not sure that we can actually help someone by 'stalking' their weaknesses. Self important maybe?
I thiink it is up to each warrior to stalk his or her self and then do what they deem necessary as a result of this stalking. I don't feel like another person pointing out what we need to stalk is of any use at all. Seems like a waste of energy to me. If I am going to stalk anything, it will be myself.
That is the most efficient use of my energy.
I'm in complete agreement with you, Enchantra, and you've presented excellent examples from the literature.
This is not to say that we don't observe others' patterns, but if "stalking" comes into the equation, it's to stalk our own reactions to those patterns - and in fact, to take those observations as guidance for our own evolution. We aren't obliged to "correct" anyone with our singular sight or perception. I'd go so far as to say that that habit of "correcting" others is not a mode of "helping" others, but of asserting ego, in spite of all one's good intentions.
