The Three Spheres of Stalking

The first time I met Lujan Matus was a pivotal point in my life, the
scope of which I could never have imagined then and probably even
now cannot really fathom.

We met through a close friend who had known him for many years
and who had told me all kinds of fascinating stories about this elusive
character. I was intrigued by his accounts, which painted a picture of a
truly unique and unpredictable individual who obviously had a lot of
personal power and had impacted the life of my friend unlike anyone
else.

When we went to meet in a cafe in town I was initially struck by the

fact that Lujan was not Chinese, for in listening to all the stories I had
imagined an older, unconventional Chinese martial artist with a
wicked sense of humor. Lujan was very welcoming and friendly and
sat opposite me. We didn't have very much to talk about, evidently
neither of us being inclined to small talk, but while we were sitting
there I sensed that his attention was unlike any I had encountered
before.

Lujan asked me what I was thinking and I answered that I felt he was
acutely aware of everything. I don't remember much else that
happened there except that I was impacted by his robust physical
presence and noticed that he was simultaneously energetic and self-
contained. I was also struck by the generous and uncomplicated
affection he had for my friend and how my friend had so much respect
for him.

Something about Lujan was very unnerving for me though. His

presence stirred up all kinds of strange emotion and made me feel
deeply uncomfortable, even though I liked him immediately. We went
for a walk and talked a bit more, still not really about anything because
there was a slightly awkward feeling that didn't allow an easy flow of
energy. I felt revealed and 'unnatural' because I was not accustomed to
being seen, I was used to being the one noticing everything and to have
it happen to me made me feel very apprehensive.

After half an hour or so we said goodbye and by this time, though it

had been on the surface an easy and relaxed meeting, I was really
feeling stretched and couldn't wait to be out of the spotlight.

In the last moments before we parted I looked into Lujan's eyes and
felt truly hunted, which made me defensive and hard. He asked me
what the look was about and I immediately checked myself and said it
was nothing, though I knew that it was something his presence had
brought to the surface. He waved goodbye and drove away, leaving me
in an absolute emotional turmoil.

My good friend and I walked a little way, continuing on to wherever

we were going, with me in a stubbornly distant and odd mood. With a
mischievous glint in his eye, my friend asked me, “What did you think
of Lujan?”

I said I liked Lujan, which was true, but I was stewing over what had
arisen within me and wasn't prepared to open up about it because I
felt I had no handle on what was going on and I was deeply threatened
by how vulnerable that made me feel. The next thing I knew I was
having an emotional meltdown. I stopped and sat at a deserted bus
stop, bawling my eyes out and trying to explain to my friend what was
going on.

I knew straight away that being around Lujan had confronted the
deepest compromises of my character. Lujan was the first person I had
ever met who lived completely within their integrity. I knew this in an
inescapable, cellular, undeniable sense, and it rocked me to my core.
His presence was a massive demand on me to live up to myself, and all
the years of not doing so, along with all the frustration, self-doubt,
denial and heaviness that had engendered, was bursting to the surface
in an explosion of loaded emotion.

My reaction included everything from anger to self-pity, relief, hope

and fear. Even now writing this, the retrieval of this memory is
bringing about a cathartic release.
When I conveyed this to Lujan he said that this is my inner spirit
expressing gratitude, for I'm seeing myself from an elevated position
and also being reminded of my purpose, which is the true expression
of my spirit. He spoke about this as a recovery that delivers one into a
perpetual state of gratitude, in which the world becomes so beautiful
because your base plate is stationed in the deep appreciation that you
have a chance in this world, which is the clear-heartedness humbleness
of a warrior.

Immediately after we had this conversation I had a break from writing

and went to the supermarket near my house to buy some groceries. At
the deli I stood next to an old man with a radiant expression. We
looked at each other and I had to say something to him because he
looked so beautiful.

"You have a nice face." I said, and he answered, "So do you."

We then saw each other again at the counter and greeted one another
warmly. There wasn't much we could say and no point in making it
into anything other than a simple exchange of recognition, but the
interaction was really lovely and filled me with gentle elation.

I stopped for a coffee on the way back home and some of the other
people in the cafe seemed to be lit with beauty and character. I wished
I could acknowledge it to them but instead I just admired those
qualities and hoped they didn't think I was fixated on them in some
bizarre way. The next time I spoke to Lujan I told him of my
experience and he said this was a definite indication that gratitude had
saturated my whole perception and was reflected in every encounter.

The reason this memory had come to the surface at this time was that
Lujan had started to explain the three types of stalking to me and told
me that an individual with their personal power intact will cause an
upheaval by their mere presence. This took me back to that time in
the past when exactly this phenomenon had occurred and which,
amazingly, up until that point we had never discussed.

When I told him about what transpired after he left that day he began
to explain exactly what had taken place in the cafe when he was
watching me and I had felt the pressure of his awareness.
Lujan said that the eyes of a seer shield the entry of any projections
from another by noticing everything that is put forth. When
something is seen this disallows entry by reflecting back that
observation, which causes that projection to return to its source and
necessitates a process of introspection. He said this is how a seer's
personal power strikes someone whose integrity is not in place,
bringing about cathartic upheaval that causes them to react, either by
reflecting upon themselves or by directing that emotional reaction
towards the seer.

The shield created by the eyes of the seer comes about through
observation without interference. Instead of that projection slipping by
unnoticed and establishing a co-dependant lodgment that can be built
upon, by being simply observed the cycle of habitual self identification
is stopped in its tracks and cannot be perpetuated.

Lujan described the catharsis that arises as the loosening of sedentary

material associated with the original imprinted sites, which then allows
other realizations to be accessed and that pivotal point of reference to
transform into something other than it was before.

Lujan explained to me that someone with their personal power intact

will be in a position to observe this process as it happens and therefore
is able to make a choice at this point to either subdue or enlighten the
one whose imprints are activated. He said that this is the fundamental
distinction between the two types of stalking applied in the living
construct: shadow stalking and light stalking.

Shadow stalking is applied to subdue another's power by misdirecting

their life force and drawing them away from their purpose. He then
said that no-one can take away your personal power but they can
direct your attention and draw you into areas that will absorb time and
energy in matters that are not in line with your personal growth.

Light stalking is applied to align a person with their source of power

and enable them to access the tools and energy needed to pursue their
personal path in the way that is correct for them.

The third type of stalking involves the reordering of ones imprints

within a dreaming context to allow them freedom from the
preoccupations that have been established in the living construct, and
this gives the ability to apply multiple angles of cognitive insight in
order to extract wisdom and power from those experiences which
form the fundamental base plate of ones character. This is dream
stalking.

Lujan warned me to be very aware of shadow stalking in the living

construct as it is the basis from which the majority of people operate
most of the time and presents a grave danger, in that the primary aim
is to subdue purpose and waylay awareness in endless avenues of
distraction and distortion. Shadow stalking identifies the imprints
within ones character and once they are located establishes them as a
usable base of operation. Land marked sites can be utilized as a point
of reference from which shadow stalking can adapt and manipulate its
position in correspondence to what is presented, using the technique
of 'bait and switch', which is polymorphic by nature.

The expression of shadow stalking in daily life is multifold but

essentially will manifest as engagement in something other than the
truth of the heart and being drawn away from the tasks that relate to
progression along ones true life path. Lujan pointed out that one of the
key arenas where shadow stalking manifests is within the application
of all forms of dependency. He said that all of us have to be acutely
aware that dependency can take an individual off their personal life
path, drawing one away from self empowerment and the ability to
self-regulate.

Dependency can appear in the form of adopting an ideology and

pasting it over a personal inherited imprinted site or underpinning that
needs to be brought to the surface and worked on. If a person takes on
an ideology that is derived from the wisdom of another then that
ideology can become fixed; a usable item that can be placed over ones
personal circumstances, but which inhibits ones ability to see what
truly should be seen because of the dependency and self identification
that has been attached to that wisdom.

Lujan said that in essence what this creates is a situation where

ideology is adapted as a tool with which to transfix or manipulate
circumstances in a state of certainty that only complements the agenda
of the shadow stalker. When someone identifies with a wisdom and
presents it as a statement of their own subjectivity, though that
wisdom may be a jewel within itself, if it is applied within a rigid
format this sets forth an arena of denial, because that borrowed
wisdom covers the inconsistencies within a persons character.

When Lujan brought this up he called it the “jewel of denial” and we

laughed uproariously at the images that this concept presented. Lujan
explained that the “jewel of denial” provides a mask to represent the
‘me’, which shields one from true introspection and also fosters a
tendency to stand within arrogance and spiritually elitist attitudes. He
said that true spirituality is not to take a position of superiority but to
be contained within ones personal power, which is a direct reflection
of ones life experience, and to be within the simplicity of the
realizations that come about in the moment that is continually
escaping us.

Lujan said that we must be mindful to observe dependency so that it

does not transform into a crutch of reliance that brings about
justification, which is shadow stalking. Similarly, one must be careful
that false certainty does not become a rigid conceptualization that is
viewed as bonafide seeing.

Independence and self-empowerment come about when one follows

ones life path, which gives the ability to see when it is appropriate to
act or to withdraw. The only way this can occur when one takes
wisdom from another is to embrace simultaneous enhancement that
corresponds to your life path and does not pull another off theirs. Do
not be anything other than yourself.

The distinctions between the characteristics of shadow stalking and

light stalking are clear.

Shadow stalking redefines another's world in accordance with an

agenda, subduing purpose, redirecting energy into preconceived tasks
that are not really of the heart but may be right for the one directing
them, utilizing that person's attention and taking them off their life
path. In the realm of shadow stalking one finds laughter without joy,
purpose without fulfillment, repression of character and vitality,
disempowerment and loss of direction.
Light stalking is to define ones true direction, which enlivens and
establishes a genuine base of personal power and proceeds in
accordance with the indications presented, putting aside ones personal
agenda to knowingly facilitate the growth of oneself and others. Energy
is directed into purpose, enabling individuals to pursue their tasks
wholeheartedly and find their true direction in life. In the realm of
light stalking one feels elated in the knowing that true enhancement is
occurring, for one is on their life path and as a consequence abundant
energy is available.

Dream stalking is an advanced method that takes place in the

dreaming realm and has profound implications in the living construct.
This is how Lujan described dream stalking when he first presented
the subject to me:

"The most essential lesson I learnt from my wards was dream

stalking and the recovery of awareness.
The way that a master dream stalker proceeds is to travel into
the most heavily imprinted sites that belong to an individual
and rearrange the key elements that govern awareness, within
a dream context. This occurs by transferring daytime
cognition, which is like a multiplex of imprinted awareness,
into a dream state where the pivotal elements can be
reordered, thus translating that habitual identification into a
source of power that becomes more potent than could have
ever been previously imagined.
Dream stalking can also be seen as a process that can happen
consciously, by taking those heavily imprinted sites and
reviewing them in a subtle state of observation, or they can
be translated into a dream state by your architect of
observation or by a dream master, as I have related in 'Fear
Not, Be Free' and also in 'Haunted Awareness'.
In 'Fear Not, Be Free’, Barak, as an accomplished dream
master, took an event from the elemental structure of my
being and transformed it into an item of power. This is true
dream stalking; true recovery. These landmarked sites can be
used to lever your awareness into a new alignment that yields
true personal power.
As I have explained, these sites can also be pressured by a
person whose internal stratosphere is clear, through their
presence alone. When one’s personal power bursts upon
another's imprints it becomes clear where those imprinted
sites are stationed. Once the individual is alerted, they must
review the emotion or upheaval that arises and revert into a
state of self-examination instead of attaching the element of
drama to the personal power of the one who has triggered the
upheaval. This is one way to pinpoint what is occurring
within ones conscious awareness, by isolating and identifying
that upheaval, which is an imprinted site, so it can be
reviewed internally.

Many particular events of my life were transferred into the

Dream Maker's realm as pivotal points that were shifted,
changed and reordered to become a recovery of power. It is
vital to identify with power, and not with drama."

Shamanic Healing with the nagual
Lujan Matus
Lujan is now offering private shamanic healing sessions. Lujan
will utilize a unique method of shamanic bodywork that is an
ancient oriental technique. This technique works directly on the
luminous fibers that connect the energy body to the universe at
large, activating the bioelectromagnetic energy that enhances life
and awareness.

Experiences will include visions and profound shifts into altered

states. You will become aware of the movement of energy
within your luminous sphere as Lujan realigns your energetic
fibers via ligaments and tendons located in the back. You will
directly experience the nagual’s personal power as energy that is
felt as energetic waves pulsating throughout the energy body.
This will allow you to achieve the inner silence that is necessary
to attain the elusive state of heightened awareness.

Lujan will also teach gazing techniques that enhance lucidity of

perception thereby enabling one to empty the body of the
human form. As Lujan accompanies you during these practices
he will assist you to process any upheavals that may arise so as
to facilitate the growth of consciousness within a state of
profound renewal.

The outcome is that you will be equipped to independently

resolve any obstructions in your energy body and this will
enable a complete and enduring healing that will be able to be
sustained following the conclusion of the healing sessions.
