Re: Living off the Planet (none / 1)

Castenada's Don Juan was insistent on the value of 'not looking'. And of course human peripheral vision is much more sensitive in low light. I tried it once running hard through a dense night forest. And sustained no injury ;-)

Re: Living off the Planet (none / 1)

i used to practice run/jumping along big boulders along the hawaiian coast, and building up to it with practice, was able to do it quite fast, and completely 'unthinkingly'.

the art of 'gauging' works better with an indirect focus, i guess, the very act of concentrating on the trees takes away from a bigger flow that enables you to perceive the forest better.

or something batty like that...
