How to stalk an abstract core

[SSilhouette]

In the early days of reading Castaneda and re-reading Castaneda "the abstract cores" were a mystery to me; much as they were to CC when he learned of them. Over time and learning to see, I have begun mapping them. That and the big bone CC threw us via the book: The Power Of Silence.
I want to throw out an example of how I stalk abstract cores. It is an indirect way of seeing. And is actually a good exercise to learn how to see directly eventually.
Here's my example:
Part 1:
My grandmother was born in the very early 1900s. She rode a horse to school with her 12 brothers and sisters from the family farm in the Midwest. We have a picture of her and four of her siblings on the same big gelding. Anyway, she became a school teacher during the 1920s, had two babies in the Depression, saw the advance of automobiles, airplanes, WWI and WWII, Korea, Vietnam. She saw the advent of biochemistry and lived to see penicillin developed, a cure for polio via the vaccine, saw men go to the moon, satellites, telephones, fax machines, cell phones and the like. Not long before she died she kept complaining of being very tired of it all...wanting to "go home". What she meant of course was go home to her beginnings. It had all been too much for her in the end.
Part 2:
I was telling my kids about this story and how weird all the new stuff they took for granted was to her. They nodded in understanding and replied that for them, the mileau she was born into was weird to them. Even being raised on our farm like they have; imagining a world without modern medicines, electronics, transportation and advancing technology is an odd concept to them.
Part 3: [The stalking of the abstract core]
It occured to me at this point that an animal born into a particular environment is stamped by that environment. To overcome that stamping is the exercising of the muscle of intent. Those who progress with the times and do not get nostalgic for this or that old memory are exercising their core being...that which survives stamping...that which is truly our inner essence.
In the elderly it's easy to pick out those who have stayed flexible and those who have not. Their bodies can no longer hide the wear and tear of fixation and the stress it causes to the body. I would say at this point that from the description of don Juan CC gave us as being extraordinarily youthful for his advanced age, it means he didn't give a rat's ass for his past.
**********
So by pitting the story of my grandmother's environment against my kids' I saw in the middle, the abstract core.
It's not the same as seeing, but it is a good precurser to it."The Reailty Is That You Will Die. The Uncertainty Is What Will Happen After That.."

Thanks for sharing this core SSil. The stamp we begin with can make us or break us if we are not careful. Wonderful stalking.

What will my life be in Redwood City? Asked at Jack's Internet Caffe. You're a half a mile out of town and what do you do? It's by noting the behavior of people; you know this. It's all stalking. The Nagual said. The seventh rule of the principle of the art of Stalking. Notice how they're are no black warriors? And now this self same question has two parts to it. Like a man said. These are not questions though they sound like they are.
Now when consulting the Wisdom Book the question should be in two parts and then it works even better when one formulates one single question in the mind's eye. Any single questions? Not a single one he said. Then here's the second part you throw the coins. 53 That number comes up alot. She is called Darkening of The Light. This is a light Kwai master's lesser familiar number and it comes in threes. I will show you how. Someone or something reading it would first form a lower trigram and just then late at night--another lineal figure is expressed. Sounds simple. In practice-as you practice you will realize what you are doing. It would help alot. Thanks CskauddisToHotties

You did this medicine reeading on Ssil. IT came up 48 The Well. My question for the vecter selecter goes like this-
What will be my death in silent knowledge? Without going in a particular direction,a second reading showed me that 48 is tantamount to being a major full-on sorcerer. Why is this?
That's our number! One of the extant 48 warriors in donCskaud's party is Bruce Wagner. His Force Majuer a.k.a moondoggie period in life where he was too cool and slick can be read about in FORCE MAJUERby Bruce Wagner He's like a Simon Andrew David Christie Nattahadeum Jack. Known real well at Jack's Internet. The Northerly Stalker man-of-Action from Cortes Island.
Easterly Scholar man-Behind-the-Scenes
Easterly Woman of Divine Illumination.
The Southerly Dreamers Are in my house. I want you to think like attracts like. You got that?
And the numero uno stalker is ---t-a-i-sh-a Abelar Sushi Albacorebecause i'm ninnshinn non sean not a sean don.

I'm pretty sure the westerly warrior is the man-behind-the-scene.
