Tracking & The Meaning of Life

Tracking & The Meaning of Life

Tracking may be the origins of the scientific method, it was the beginning of deductive reasoning – the art form of applying meaning

The principles of tracking should also be applied to your life – constantly look for and acknowledge information that attunes you with your inner self.

The successful art form of tracking naturally creates safety, excellent trackers can convey presence through non-verbal communication with the animals, and vice versa

The western world often is misguided in its search for meaning, associating meaning by comparison. If you grow up in Africa or in nature, you associate meaning through relation. You learn about yourself through your encounters with the world.

Sometimes you have to let go of your rational consciousness and let nature take you to a place you can’t go on your own

Boyd describes an encounter with a leopard where he felt this overwhelming sense of connection

Trauma & Healing

A person who is dealing with trauma has a reduction of options. You’re frozen – traumatized people often resort to retreating and isolating

These experiences can alter your personal narrative, viewing the trauma from a new perspective.
