ahh yes now that i dig into your thread more i see. Gait of the fox is to stop every few steps and see what is to be seen. man was i drunk when i read this last? It seems pretty strait forward reading now. Well strait forward and animal dont really work but it makes good sense. So yes it is a gate also hmmm it is cool. I can feel your emotion so much in this thread its all you...
In the military similar experiances take place like these. Ive always been whats considered to be a good point man. But this far exceeds there training. It makes me think of a walkabout or a sojourn. And the military never even considered adding an mystical aspect. In some ways it also reminds me of the shinobi. Hmm oh well just what popped into my head as i read this.

Used to be military... But i am just this year getting back into paintball.It was something that i used to play at a tournament level but now at least this year just for fun i think. Man i started playing ball many years ago though when it was pistols and ten shots each in the middle of the woods. Good way for the mental ability to step up on a day like that.
So if i speak more from what i think instead of my heart it is more of a spiritual flow coming through?

Sorry Osiris, I did not see this, err, long time since. But yes, it is a more spiritual flow, that comes directly from the body, and our direct connection with knowledge, our connection with what we are observing and what we are intending.

Speed Gaiting
I know we are always to much in a hurry, and yet this gait is still useful in observing our surrounds and enhancing the speed of which we travel. This is a relavively simple gait to practice and leads into a more advanced gait of gaiting as an ally.
I find this gait best to practice, or rather easier to practice, in the woods, as there is more scenery around you to observe, and less people around, however can be practiced in the city, in a uilding or anywhere you are. If you are aorund people simply forget that people are around, and know they are not watching. Or you can know they are not ordinary people, and that is also very true.
When practicing this gait itis best to direct your thoughts with your intent, especially in regards to time. Simply think about the time of the outside world, being slower than the time of your traveling, or of your body, and this will increasingly add to your speed.
As you are gaiting look at your surroundings as they are coming onto you, as if you are traveling in a car, and keep your attention focused on one point without focusing directly on anything. As you are doing this, it becomes possible to observe the speed of the passing ground or items, to be seen moving faster, and slower, and changing speeds, even though you are moving using the same actions. In the woods it can take practice doing this step, so to train your body to simply move thru your surrounds without hitting a tree, or being struck by a tree.. Another way to move with a faster speed, or rather to modify the speed of your attention, is to focus on an oncoming object, say a tree branch, or the ground, and then as it is oncoming to you, simply 'jump(not literally but your attention) to the place you are moving to, and then quickly move your attention to the next place, and so on. It does not take much practice to begin seeing the changes, and increase in speed. As one practices this movement our attention naturally develops to focus on this occurance. One might observe that when crossing the street, and a car is wating for you to get out of the way, and you feel them pushing you, that you can jump your attention out of the way quicker, or that you can slow it down, without changing the pace of your gait. and you can also seperate your attention from the onlookers attention, so that you move fast, or slow, and also decide whether theirs is fast or slow. This gait brings back the memories of traveling as a child, and that when we traveled then, it seemingly took very long simply to get down the street. This practice puts our attention on speed, or time, and starts to place awareeness naturally on this during our life. Utimately we learn to suspend our attention against the attention of the surrounding world. This is the gait that leads into the Gait of the Ally..

Gait of the Ally
This gait is as follows the speed gait, and requires the practitioner to begin speed gaiting, or slow gaiting as the case may be.
once one has focused their attention on the speed of the oncoming objects one begins to sense that they themselves are not even moving, and they are stationary, while the owrld moves around him. The pratitioner then begins think about, and seeing the objects that are oncoming to him, literally as objects are oncoming to him, and that he is not moving to the objects, but pulling the ogjects to him. The feeling takes some getting used to, and can be seen just as if you are playing a video game, and the world is rolling to the creen and on past you. This gait goes further yet, in that the attention of the gaiter may actually begin to see himself walking, as in a game, from a position that seems behind him. As the gait develops the observer sees that as he is climbing over obstacles, like rocks, and up rocky ttrails, that he is not moving up or down, but the rocks are moving up to his feet. The gaiter notices that he is not even feeling the transition any longer, of when his feet meet the rock, and the feeling leads into gliding..
