Eric Yudelove at the tao bums

>>>Sorry, but my English will be bad year or two.
>>>I can’t make it better so quickly.

That’s fine. We all do what we can.

By the way:
A “forum troll” is a person who makes strange inflammatory posts
on a forum designed to get people riled up to respond
and is not interested in genuine information, but is
a “kid” looking for attention.

That was the reference to my earlier comment, because
due to some certain recent posts, I wasn’t sure if you
were genuinely looking for information, or if you
were exhibiting “troll” behavior.

At any rate, don’t take it personally 😉

Once you have spotted an animal or reached a promising area, move so slowly and carefully that animals in the area cannot detect any sound or movement at all. Try to blend so perfectly with your surroundings that you seem to be nothing more threatening than tree. Some animals (such as the deer) are so nearsighted that they may look repeatedly at an approaching human and mistake it for a stump if there is no telltale movement. Others, such as squirrels, often approach to within a few feet of a motionless person out of sheer curiosity. To most animals, no movement means no danger. That’s why stalking is one most important survival skills you learn.

The four elements in the process of observation include awareness, understanding, recording, and response. Each of these elements may be accomplished as a separate processor accomplished at the same time.

They were a most mad ten days, but Kim enjoyed himself too much to reflect on their craziness. In the morning they played the Jewel Game – sometimes with veritable stones, sometimes with piles of swords and daggers, sometimes with photographs of natives.

Archimedes was, as fate would have it, intent upon working out some problem by a diagram, and having fixed his mind alike and his eyes upon the subject of his speculation, he never noticed the incursion of the Romans, nor that the city was taken. In his transport of study and contemplation, a soldier, unexpectedly coming up to him, commanded him to follow to Marcellus; which he declining to do before he had worked out his problem to a demonstration, the soldier, enraged, drew his sword and ran him through.

The art of stalking is learning all the quirks of your disguise. To learn them so well no one will know you are disguised. For that you need to be ruthless, cunning, patient, and sweet. Stalking is an art applicable to everything. There are four steps to learning it: ruthlessness, cunning, patience, and sweetness. Ruthlessnes should not be harsness, cunning should not be cruelty, patience should not be neglience, and sweetness should not be foolishness. These four steps have to be practiced and perfected until they are so smooth they are unnoticeable.

..from this alchemical schism came another shift towards the dark side of human nature. Taoist magicians became robbers and murderers, and many were involved on overthrowing the government.

I don’t meant to be arrogant but I think nobody could lead me astray so easily, because I have been aware about my own path from very early age and learned the lessons to be wary whether it ultimately demands defensive or offensive tactics. It’s not easy to put poison in my cup.

I personally don’t mind being ridiculed, which means that I think that bad behaviour isn’t always expression of one’s internal state. Negative behaviour can be both tool and disguise for the skilled artist.

But there is continuous problem with Petty Tyrants wherever one goes.

With my two questions addressed directly to Steven I tried indeed mildly provoke, and I have tried also to do that before especially with Wendy (for her stubborn ladyboss attitude and postings which very often appear when there is something with sexual thematic, her predilection). In my opinion diversionary tactics should sometimes be allowed to be used. That is when they are used with distinction.

From the citations central one is one dealing with four moods of stalking (by Carlos Castaneda).

This thread started with Eric Yudelove, who with his recent postings in Tao Bums, beside telling for example that he is a sorcerer, has again made slight threats in there.

There have textual attemps to define Crazy Wisdom behaviour of some adepts (Dangerous Friend: The Teacher-Student Relationship in Vajrayana Buddhism by RIG’DZIN DORJE for example), but that it would have the real effect, it should be offensive in it’s nature over and over again. That means that one should expect the unexpected.

I think Castaneda as a person secured to himself to be in that position not only in his books (his tales of power), but also as a private person. But because he was a Social Scientist, his activities are maybe not that interesting for somebody more physically oriented.

Bud Malmstrom (mentioned by Dog several times in this forum) as a wild card would be something much more dangerous than CC. BD also probably surpasses Stephen K Hayes or somebody like Ashida Kim in ‘total ninja-arts’ for which I have been personally after, during recent times, with my postings to this forum.

OK, but if someone creates their own thing, doesn’t
that already make them a “master” of it . . . sort of
by definition? Know what I mean?

Better to avoid titles and just let your accomplishments
speak for themselves, in my opinion.
