What does it mean to be in the right place at the right time?

In the nerdy parlance of overly smart mathematicians, this means having the right space and time coordinates at a given moment.

That is, F (x, y, z, t) = f (t), where f (t) is that tricky function essential to success and to the feeling of deep mental satisfaction.

Anybody get that?

To put it simply, here’s an example: Say a cat runs across the road, escaping the cars prone to hit her any second.

Three things have always amazed me:

1. As a rule, the cat runs without looking around, instead looking steadily at some point ahead.

2. But if it stops and takes a look around, the cat is bound to be run over.

3. A simple yet amazing fact: a car drives through the spot where the cat was a second ago, but the cat is already not there.

Here, the following analogies offer themselves:

1. A person crossing the road of life looks at a point ahead of them like the cat. They can only see their ultimate goal and trot toward it.

This sort of obsession is a distinguishing trait of so-called ambitious people. That is, those who achieve success, for it is ambitious people that do.

There’s a certain secret to it, and in fact it’s a property of human consciousness. You can look at thousands of things, but you can only see those that your eyes search for, and once you see them, you just keep on looking at them. That’s as simple as that, and everyone knows it, but…

…Duck hunters know a funny thing: a duck shot while flying falls into the grass, and as the duck falls, the hunter mechanically follows its path with his eyes. Every hunter sees the spot the duck has fallen onto and then goes there to pick it up, but they won’t find it unless they look steadily at the spot as they approach it.

But if they only remember the spot approximately and go searching for the duck on the just assumption that their six to eight pounds of brains guarantee locating a lousy duck in the grass, ninety-nine percent of them will never find it, dead or not dead.

Why do they find no duck? The duck can’t have crawled away to heaven, right?

2. If you look away from your initial goal and start to have your doubts when you’re half way there, you’re not likely to succeed – remember what happens to the cat when it freezes in front of the speeding car.

But the overwhelming majority of people doubt things all the time. THINGS… AND PEOPLE… but why?

There’s a good saying that cowards die many times before their deaths.

And if you ask women, who in fact stand behind the natural selection of homo sapience males, what a “cool” man is, they’ll give you thousands of answers, but each will be sure to mention confidence.

Confident is an antonym for tentative. Women believe that a man can be anything – a sadist, a murderer, a bastard, a pauper – and still be attractive to them. But strip a man of his confidence, and no woman will ever look his way.

The instinct of selecting a potential mate unerringly tells a woman that a male lacking confidence will achieve nothing – he has no prospects.

Hero, the laughing stock of the neighborhood, can only be a hero for a girl who’s a laughing stock herself. People of this kind never make it unless they’re characters in a book, a drug for losers. In real life, someone who is confident scares predators away with their confidence alone.

That’s why little kids (and professional dog trainers) can, without an ounce of fear, approach a big mean dog to pet it (unless the dog is chained up). Their absolute faith and fearlessness don’t provoke the dog to bite them.

“If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move.” Let me just add that faith is not a thought nor kung fu theory but the special state that stalkers learn first, a real feeling as opposed to mumbling, “I do believe, I do believe, I do!”

To those with extrasensory perception skills, one can simply say that energy is perception, the twenty-second Tarot trump (the Fool), the dude with a bindle, looking up to the sky to see his way up there, not down on Earth.

This Arcanum is the beginning and the end of Tarot studies.

It is this Arcanum that describes stalking on Earth.

And it is its energy and the perception of it that yield faith and all the resulting consequences, including the blinding bulletproof white-teeth smile.

“Fools get all the luck,” as the Russians say.

And that’s quite true.

They sure do!

By the way, in the runes, this Arcanum corresponds to Raidho.
