Dear Lujan,
Exceptionally rare is a book that can be read over and over again many times and still enthrall and compel you to read it yet again. Your book is such a book. And furthermore every time I have re-read it the contents seem to shift and change. Specific sections stand out that didn’t before, becoming more detailed each time they are re-read and to my surprise they correlate with my past and present personal events, highlighting information that wasn’t obvious before.
The section that affected me more deeply than any other was ‘The Threads of Intention’. What occurred when I read this section was that my internal organs began to shake at the shock of what was on the page. It was as if something inside of me was being confronted that did not want to be revealed. To have experienced something so foreign yet so deeply ingrained inside of me was a contradiction that made me feel so divided and shaken up inside to say the least. I needed this shock because I am divided and not loyal to myself or to my immediate environment. This has heightened on a personal level within me the internal devices that need to be analysed and removed that obviously I’ve trained into myself through acceptance of something that should not have been there in the first place. I am very grateful that such a person as you, Lujan, has come along to point to the real pertinent issues we need to deal with as individuals within humanity.
Your book has also acted as a guide on how to behave. I’ve needed this all my life and now I have got it.
Thank you so much. Your availability means a lot to me.

Having read this book more than once and been so profoundly affected in so many ways, it is hard to know where to begin in offering feedback, as I don’t know anymore where the book ends and my life begins. ‘The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception’ has a way of interweaving with the fabric of ones life, which makes the subtitle “The Living Tapestry of Lujan Matus” so appropriate, and is also why this book continues to have so much value for me as a unique reference landscape of immense depth.
Over the past few years Lujan Matus has been my teacher and friend and so I had the honour of reading this book as it was being written. The extent of the synchronicity and true resonance that has been apparent over this period - in terms of lessons, encounters, personal upheavals, inexplicable events and dream occurrences - has been an endless source of amazement, confirmation, shock, confrontation and delight that has pierced through every layer of my being and ALWAYS delivered me to exactly where I needed to be.
I can honestly say that there is nothing in my life that has not been positively affected by reading this book and also the years of being in contact with Lujan. To be introduced to this way of looking at and beyond the world is an inestimable gift.
For me, the effect of these accounts upon my perception has been multifold. Firstly, the atmosphere that surrounds Lujan and his companions absorbs my attention within a realm of integrity and beauty that dissolves my own petty fixations and calls upon the better part of me to match up to what is put forth. Lujan and his powerful cohorts have become a yardstick to measure my behaviour against because I know without a doubt that where they are coming from is totally uncompromised without being rigid or trapped within fixed ideology. This in itself is incredibly rare. I personally have never been comfortable with allowing anyone to be in this position for me because at some level or another I have always sensed a point of hypocrisy or compromise, whether or not I can put my finger on it consciously. The trap has been that this can be used as a tool. I can either see myself as above that person, feeding my own arrogance as a means to overcome them (whether openly or in private) or I can allow compromising behaviours in myself because “everyone else does it”.
This has been one of the key areas that Lujan has helped me to clear, never allowing me to surreptitiously harbour degrading attitudes and always bringing out into the open what is going on beneath the surface in order to honestly face up to that which is keeping me and those I am close to from standing within nobility and truth.
I am amazed at the difference it makes in my everyday life to have an example of genuine fluidity and power to refer to. Essentially it means that I can now recognise the difference between integrity and underhandedness, in myself and in others, because the knowledge of it has become available as a living experience, not just an ideal. Encountering the extraordinary men and women that appear within the book is like visiting beloved friends. Upon each reading I am always impacted afresh and left with new insights. It is so refreshing to make this discovery time and time again and I am truly excited to think of all the other people who will share this experience in the future.
Emotionally I have had every possible response to this material. Coming to terms with what has arisen within myself has not been easy by any means but it has been literally a life saver to receive this wake up call. The information that is transmitted is impossible to ignore because the body recognises it so deeply. What is given is like the installation of a new operating system that places responsibility squarely in the hands of the one who receives it. It is an inescapable infusion of awareness that presents new ways to view ourselves, our relationships, our past events, our future dreams and everything about the world that we exist in.
The language and concepts from this book have become thoroughly integrated in my life, freeing me up to speak about and perceive things which previously would have been inaccessible. Lujan bends words in a way which demands a lateral assimilation of meaning that is very suited to human awareness. We are naturally adaptive and fixed language could never hope to describe the fluid universe that we experience as a mass of contradictions because of the ways we have learned to perceive it. Somehow the explanations offered are given in a way that makes clear what is usually beyond our grasp, without ever asserting a righteous world view or pretending to know all the answers. I unreservedly recommend this book to the world and I can’t wait to see the day when Lujan is honoured as the wonderful teacher and outstanding human being he is. Thank you for extending such a beautiful and powerful offering to us all.

My brief encounters with Lujan Matus have been incomprehensibly potent and their repercussions withstand the test of normal life. His movements are of extraordinary quality and have sculpted my essence over the past eight years.
I see in his writing an underlying syntax which is more solid than I ever imagined and my two goals of heart seem clearer and closer than ever before. In light of Lujan’s teachings, the positions of emotional honesty and personal control seem attainable.
His words take me back to half memories and genetic reactivation possibilities. His book has power.
Good work Lujan
