Stalking Kindness

[Nagual Menagerie]

(Note to mods: this should be moved to the Stalking section eventually, but they're having a discussion there so I tossed this into an area where it wouldn't cover an insightful discussion.  So.  I deliberately posted this in the inappropriate section to support/showcase the other discussion in the stalking section.)

Kindness is:

-when someone posts the actual YouTube video to a Facebook link in another's post.  Supportive behavior to help communicate a message better
 
-when someone talks about God and Infinity in a tolerant and intellectual manner.  The icing was the tree imagery (firm trunk, whimsical edges)   

-when abusive and derogatory perspectives are removed  

-when people care enough to stalk the living **** out of me until I finally cave (attention is a powerful instigator of change)

-when people invite you to return to Hell when you opt out xP (they liked the company, I guess)

-smiling at another to let them know they are seen

-removing blame from another and sometimes falsely accepting it to ensure another doesn't have to carry more than they're able

-punching another in the face when they're strong enough to handle it  

-adapting to the needs of another, instead of enabling poor habits 

-writing with a voice so unique that you reach even the audiences who are oppositional to your own.

-listening with the heart, to hear the heart of another

-tolerance

Stalking kindness may not sound as exciting, say, as asserting oneself in the sorcerer's world to assume a dominant position......or to fail as be forced to assume a submissive position. But there's an burgeoning awe that comes from aligning in kindness in order to step aside and watch infinity, in its vast intelligence, work its magic.

Still, though....I like games that pit mental agility and maneuverability against other dreamers/gamers. But only those games that uphold kindness in the exchange. i.e., games for the fun of it

"-adapting to the needs of another, instead of enabling poor habits"

This is a great one for me to remember.

Observing my naturally waxing and waning energetic state, seeing the interplay between strength and weakness play out from day to day, there's this notion of aligning with others who are weak.....not to exploit their weakness for my gain...but to be in alignment in order to support/encourage/find solutions. I don't interact much with other people, being introverted and generally socially phobic....but I can align within my intent...within space created by inner silence and meditation. I can imagine what others go through and align with those difficulties others experience, given they are similar in varying degrees to any difficulties I've experienced, in order to provide support. Not to enable, as you say NM....but to help others find that inner resource to "rally" , as Serloco put it in another thread.

I wonder if one can help recapitulate another's more challenging experiences in this way? I remember CC was encouraged to recapitulate Nagual Julian's life...and his awareness, in this process, became so attuned that he actually began to relive/experience Julian's life in high-def detail.

The Buddhist process of Tonglen is similar to this, if I understand correctly. MS would know about this practice

I enjoy my fair share of gaming too. Except, all types of gaming SHOULD be fun, if the intent of kindness is held. When I view others game out of kindness, I'm witness to the magic that holds. It's beautiful to observe such seemingly effortless movement unfold. I imagine this is what Don Juan must have looked like. I wonder how many people asked, "How does so much power/magic fit into that tonal vessel?!" DJ did some cool **** with CC.

What you mention about CC recapping NJ's life is very fascinating to me. One intially assumes that's a neat and helpful concept. Personally, I wonder if CC would still attempt that if he understood he would be completely attuned to NJ; also, what if NJ had a lot of personal trauma? Not normal trauma, but very deep and dark trauma that was layered over years. For CC to step into that quickly could very well break a mind (even that of a warrior). I assume it could be useful to not attune oneself to just anyone. Perhaps, the selection seems like a caution to consider. Realistically, if a strong person (like CC) jumps into the attunement of someone who requires extensive re-alignment, it just seems like a high-risk situation. Worthy of the effort, but it would've been cool if something like that could be staged (gradual) instead of an intense one and done. Then again, maybe being on the warriors path follows the thought process of, "*** it! What's the worst that can happen?!" I kid. It seems more reasonable that each warrior has their own approach to sorcery.

What you say about providing support versus enabling others is how I see things too. It's important to find what helps someone "rally" their energy and then push that direction. Everyone is unique so those buttons vary. Unfortunately, sometimes the transition to shift an energy from one location is unpleasant. Not sure how to make shifts more pleasant for people xD it's sort of like asking, "How do I set this person on fire without burning them?" I know fire dancers use a protective coating on their skin, but I have no clue how that concept translates to sorcery.

The concept of Tonglen is AMAZING! I've never heard of it before, but I'm in love with the idea of purifying the karma of others. What a grand notion, that the pain we suffer and don't have the means to transcend yet, can be graciously removed from our experience. I need to meet a Tonglen master and befriend him; I bet those individuals are divine.

You never cease to amaze me. You're like an O.G. (Original Gangster.)
