Some 'High' forms of Stalking in Everyday Life

[Gugeyewalker]

I obviously beleive that whatever stalking activity is chosen should be one that puts you in a very uncomfortable or even scarey situation to challenge your notions of reality.
Of course the joy of it comes when you do break through some barrier.

I also beleive that there are many disciplines, sports, hobbies, activities, and such that fit very well into the art of stalking. One of the goals of stalking is to learn how to work dynamicly in the daily world, become adaptable and fluid to make the best of any situation. THUS

Hunting
Hunting comes in so many different forms. You stalk the behavior of animals and kill them for sustenaince. It is a reminder that you too will be sustenaince for something or someone some day. You realize how set patterns and routines are not always the best thing. I don't hunt much but I do fish - certainly a form of hunting.

Acting / Theatre
You become someone else, almost certainly better in an actual theatre as opposed to a movie. That being said there are some actors who have really taken this to the extreme, like Heath Ledger as the Joker. He got so lost into the role that it drove him to suicide. 

Martial Arts
Best done with others but fine alone too. Sometimes there are a lot of arrogant martial artists though. But if you are the type that approaches this by saying "You'll have to show me your kenpo some time," or ,"Maybe you can help me improve my Wing Chun chi sao." People help you to see where you are slow, doddling, or perhaps even too agressive and impatient.

Rock Climbing
I've never done it, but you are in a state of physical imrpovisation the entire time to find the next ledge, crack, or find a way up...

Extreme Sailing
I'm not talking about yachting. I am talking about competitive sailing, preferably high wind or very long distance. For me this is windsurfing. Other forms of this might be catamaran sailing or long, long distance sailing (100's of miles). You have no choice but to work with natural forces that are unpredictable in order to progress. Quite often there is nothing else to think about other than what you are doing.

Other 'Extreme Sports'
Surfing, snowboarding, skydiving, all of these put you at the mercy of some unknown element where you must act or fail.

Musical Performance
Best to be practised for entertaining a crowd. This is especially great for shy or timid people. One could go on and on about rythm and melody etc, and the sublime mental states reached to make good music.

At least ones more...

Working a JOB for Actual Joy
I beleive that one of the things that plagues our society is being stuck with jobs or occupations that we do not enjoy. Essentially this is slavery. As stalkers either we find the joy in what we do, or find something else to do...preferably something that challenges us to grow. YES this includes working with petty tyrants.

And Finally

Dealing with Petty Tyrants
You HAVE to approach this from a position of joy or it is useless. You seek out people in positions of power who are capable of putting you in an icky situation, and you overcome yourself to effectively deal with them.

So, I am into martial arts (obviously), extreme sailing, fishing, and working a job I enjoy  

What are you guys and gals into? Wanna play? lol

Everything is controlled folly, and thus a choice. High stalking for me is too perceive solutions to any and all problems in your dreamworld. and by dreamworld I am speaking not of just dreaming, but of how you dream your existence.

Gugeyewalker, I like to PLAY -- I like to use the word PLAY. 

   Activity can be a medium, but PLAY is that which the ego does in union 1) when reason is intent on detachment, 2) reason obtains detachment, 3)and reason trusts the ego to DO freely, in what consequently are increased states of energy.

I will show you things that are in you already, but I cannot spend energy swapping ideas.     I (you) only accept what I empirically know to be true at each and every moment, I (you) would never stand for someone's contradiction. If you need something clarified, I would expect you to say so.  You will find no contradictions, though any unresolved confusion on your part warrants stopping.  When you are open enough, you will SEE the idea's truth.  A few here know sorcery; I know grounding in the tonal.   However, I know how to achieve authenticity--that is necessary for freedom.  I saw you encouraged S. in an early thread a while back to crossdress as a technique to break free of inhibition and convention's hold.   Nothing wrong with that, but that said, it occured to me you would be open enough for truth that penetrates.  Don't think of it as student/teacher;  I have a huge ego, but not for THAT ****.  I don't want someone who quits because their own truth scares them.  That is different than misunderstanding.  Unlike S., who is patient with me in divulging knowledge, I am not.  If you get it quickly, I will learn from you a great deal about essence.


S.-- I just caught to SEE rather than be responsive to your emanations.  I caught to SEE if I could intend rather than focus on the buzz.  Initiate rather than react.
G. I'm trying to impress S. (lol).  I'll copy this on F.I. in case you don't catch this here or/and respond.

I understand what you say about play. I am not sure I understand the rest of what you are saying there.

You touched on people who know sorcery vs being grounded in the tonal.

There is duality between two sides or methods of obtaining and expressing knowledge and I see it in the forums.

Stalker vs Dreamer, and then dualities even within those complementary classifications - Stalker who acts with abandon vs stalker who talks, explains, uses reason for example.

It is kinda of illustrated in the examples of the Naguals in the Castaneda books. Julian is known as a man of action, and yet he could act, trick, dance, seduce, and occasionally use language. Whereas the Nagual Elias, or Juan Matus, only occasionally resorted to trickery, but all of their actions were backed up by very lengthy (but skillful) lectures and explanations.

On the dreaming side, Nagual Julian had no problem taking many gifts of power from the death defier (and Lujan was the king), yet Don Juan only took two. It is almost as if Juan and Elias were the more settled, sober naguals, and yet that would never match the brilliance of Julian (who in daily life is the best stalker we know about).

So examples in this forum from the few people I have seen here for your fun and indulgence

Serloco - obsessed with sorcery and talking in riddles, a little bit nuts but he knows it, and able to say in so many words "Oh you think you know reality, will from my POV reality is fluid, so stop saying everything is an absolute," and although he occasionally slips into being offended or hurt, he still keeps going on (as any warrior should) towards refining his intent.

Billy - more interested in the Tonal, but ALSO talks in riddles, masterful with words (almost too masterful because I don't always get it, you have to really read things two or three times). Your stalking is what I call playing in the 'labyrinth of reason'. You know you can get lost in it, but thats okay with you, as long as your game as a warrior is never up.

Gug - prefers to speak plainly and clearly and is obsessed with perfecting skill and talent in any stalking arena, believing this will lead him to real sorcery or better dreaming some day. Unfortunately gets stuck or stiff when obsessed with his idea of perfection and how it 'should be'. His tonal fights with his nagual, but will to go through hell anyway to get there. For him everything of use is an acquired skill and shouldn't be done the easy way, although it sometimes SHOULD be.

Littlepaw - simple with little words. This works best for him. Even his name is meant to be minimalist and humble, a stalking manuever in and of itself. He dreams, he does NOT play with words, so he will never bother to understand people like Serloco and Billy lol.

Finwe - I dunno lol

Abs - I duunno lol

Watergaze - open and honest understanding versus all this male puffing of the chests that we do. There is no bull, there is stalking through real feeling, but in a joyful, almost innocent manner.

I aint got the time to go through everyone I've had the pleasure of interacting with on this forum right now

But the point is the duality of methods, you get pure action here, and endless explanations there. Riddles and poetry there, and plain language here. Wearing a skirt here, and cage fighting there. Moving the assemblage point there through dreaming, and moving it through unusual behavior here (stalking), fixating the assemblage point in dreaming by glancing lightly at the scene (stalking), and letting it go by abandoning the tonal willfully as you drift to sleep (dreaming)...

I hope I made the point. My apologies if I missed yours, Billy Bob.
