What I meant by "all over me" is that It doesn't stir even a bit when I make a focussed attempt to practice the shifting exercise. It has no response to my directed thinking about forming a Big Plan. So It is confident It has the upper hand (paw, claw, talon). It's MO is the sneak attack at the most opportune moments for It. Seems to me that making a Big Plan in the heat of a Beast attack is not good strategy.

Oh, believe me, I know.
