About five years ago The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception book kept coming up as a suggested read. I avoided it for months reading other books I thought looked or sounded more interesting, totally judging them by their cover (which the cover for Art of Stalking Parallel Perception is really cool btw). Anyway, I finally just caved and read the description and was totally in. Downloaded it and started reading and listening.
It was mind-alteringly difficult for me at first. Hard to comprehend the messages and depth that it’s delivered. It was so different and as difficult as it was to understand at first, so much meaning thoroughly and clearly packed within each word and sentence, it more than resonated and enlivened something within that I’m sure most of us can relate to, in some way.
I’ve since read and listened to all of Lujan Matus’ works countless times. Listening to them almost daily, no exaggeration, reading just before sleeping most nights, and on the way to and from work during daily commute, as a sort of food and positive anchor, each time through seeming so new, always finding nuggets that are just what needs to be heard and understood at that moment.
It’s become like a sustenance for me. The gentle and direct messages and reminders I need and love. These works have been such a wonderful fuel for my spiritual fire and, in turn, for those around me that I love and care about my fire is becoming a welcome area for some to warm themselves by.
There’s a mention at one point, I think, in one of the books, about the actual meaning or maybe intent that hangs behind the words spoken.
I hope my meaning and intent is heard/seen clearly here.
My learning, capacity, and understanding have grown slowly but thoroughly and surely since I first read his teachings.
It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what’s been learned but, for me, it seems to be a glowing beginning to understanding that arrives in each moment and is also always there.
Maybe an awareness that went previously unrecognized, most of my life, that is now more accessible with the subtle growth. Whatever it is I sure hope it to blossom and in turn, I can truly be in service of others.
I’m not yet sure what that looks like or if that is an inaccurate or too bold a statement but it seems to be the result of a lot of Lujan’s work, too. Serving us all by sharing what he’s shared in his works, their endless insight, and in these retreats and guidance programs.
I’m one of many here that hope to have the direct assistance from Lujan and for that guidance to possibly help reveal what and how the next steps can be taken to make more beautiful progress. Or, for the guidance to reveal what needs to be revealed at that time, whatever it may be.
I also know whoever needs this gift will receive it. I’m putting in for it here because I feel I’ve reached a point where I really need some personal guidance, now more than ever.
It’s really amazing that we all have this ability to connect like this with each other and with Lujan. I’m grateful always for the testimonials and look forward to reading the incredible submissions you will make.
