Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (TWR) quotes

May we remember it more and more, drinking gently from its’ magic and receive all the miracles it has for us :brown_heart:

“Miraculous is the best word I can come up with to describe these events, truly Miraculous!!!” I would say this could be one answer for:

I have more on that, inspired by being under the blessings and light of this Dakini - Seljé Dö Drelma, whom I had the privilege to be visited by, a few days ago… she has inspired me to change my Toltec Affirmation from “I am a Dream Warrioress, I keep conscious and lucid in my dreams.” to “I am Light, I keep conscious and lucid in my dreams.”, after she whispering into my hear “You are Light” :gem: Since this change, my whole dream landscape has changed… still adapting to this upgrade that I think is aligned with my daily 15m practice of Lu Jong when I wake up. What a Bliss… Lu Jong & Tummo gives us a second answer to that equation, because it’s about cleaning, balancing and living consciously the sun and moon energies within)

And here’s a third answer for the equation :sun_with_face: + :new_moon_with_face: =
It’s an excerpt from the book “Women who Fly” (page136), that I think it might hit a little home run in you @NightHawk999 :gem:
“The Hirapur temple, dating from perhaps as early as the ninth century, is a telling example of the relationship between astral phenomena and the uniqueness of the round, hypaethral (unroofed) yogini temples. Heinrich von Stietencron argues, quite convincingly and supported by detailed diagrams, that its structure represents the ability to coordinate solar and lunar (ritual) time, with the yoginis representing the naksatras (the lunar mansions). A circle of yoginis is enshrined into the round temple walls in relation to the Kalacakra, thereby allowing rituals enacted by human participants (yoginis and their consorts) at astronomically appropriate times to celebrate the harmony of the cosmos within themselves.” This last bold part, I would say is another answer to your question.

I was deeply touched with your heart opening here with us, beloved @Dream_Hacker :pray:t3: thank you for the honor of reading your words who mirror such a sensitive beautiful soul.
This dream you shared is SO radiant. It touched me deeply reading about the drawing and her eyes connecting with you. I bow to you, to her and your children in deep respect and love.
There is definitely a very special common wavelength occurring at the moment. Deep gratitude for this.

A Dream Warriores of Light, Awareness, & luminous lucidity :innocent: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :innocent:

Or cutting out the redundancy:
A Dream Warriores of Light & Awareness

Or distilling down the redundancy further
A Dream Warriores of Awareness

LOVE this. We may be on the same page, depending on how liberally you define hamony of the Cosmos.

Bliss. I would say the harmony if the Cosmos could be Bliss. Or Amitabha.

I read this yesterday and took it inside to remember that in 2005 I started my shamanic path with an initiation from a beautiful shamanic red haired woman, to being a Light Warrioress :zap:
Tonight I changed it again to “I am a Dream Light Warrioress (…)”… and my dream landscape changed again… from feeling a kind of lamp or a pixel of light observing everything around me, I was back into feeling a body again and in my normal places… I was in the ocean bathing and then flying high seeing the sea from another perspective. Wonderful :heart_eyes:
thank you for such a caring advice and for the keen generous look :feather: :pray:t3:

I used this tonight and dreamt super lucid :zap:
I think I will keep it.

interesting that I thought about this last night… but it felt that Dream Light Warrioress is the one - at least for now.
the results confirm :heart_eyes:

this was my super lucid dream tonight…
Became lucid in a void state, opened up my heart in a subtle movement, and said “And now, a star will fall on me and give me immense light” I heard a buzz and allowed it to come - it filled all my body!.. I literally felt a star had come down to “hug me”. It indeed embraced my whole body to the marrow of my being. It was AMAZING! :zap:

thank you for translating my experiences, and for the title.
:pray:t3:

the article was also very interesting :pray:t3:

`The attempt to satisfy greed is like drinking salty water when thirsty.

When lost in greed we look outward rather than inward for satisfaction, yet we never find enough to fill the emptiness we wish to escape.
The real hunger we feel is for knowledge of our true nature.

Developing the capacity for clear light dreams is similar to developing the capacity of abiding in the non-dual presence of rigpa during the day. In the beginning, rigpa and thought seem different, so that in the experience of rigpa there is no thought, and if thought arises we are distracted and lose rigpa. But when stability in rigpa is developed, thought simply arises and dissolves without in the least obscuring rigpa; the practitioner remains in non-dual awareness.

"Dissolve everything.
Merge with the Light.
Become the Light.

Now there is no inner or outer, no you or not you.
There is no sense of a substantial world or self.
There is only the Luminosity in the space of the Heart, which is now pervasive Space.
Experience still arises; allow whatever arises to dissolve spontaneously in Light.
Let this happen without effort.
There is only Light.
Then slowly dissolve even the Light into Space."

-Master Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

We must be on a harmonious wavelength if we are mixing Mind again :wink:

Not the whole thing yet. I’m savoring every piece and doing bibliomancy with it , yesterday, before going to sleep, I was reading pages 61-65. Made a resume:

Dreams are important wisdom doors to:

  1. discover teachings;
  2. connection to masters;
  3. help others.

Chöd practice:
» cutting through attachments and
» cultivating generosity.

Tongiung Thuchen didn’t know he could do it, but he did it! (page 62). LOVED this story… so empowering.

Dakinis play musical instruments, dance, make offerings, pray and perform other sacred activities.
There are logical philosophies used to cut the ego + use of the conceptual mind to liberate delusions.
“two dakinis came to him, riding the wind

One of the dakinis would protect him from erroneous words and interpretations - found this highly inspiring :heart_eyes:

Also delighted that his full potential was revealed to him in a dream.

Last bot not least… DREAM: connects us with our deeper selves and matures our spiritual development.

yes. this reminded me of our singing together :heart_eyes: :zap: :brown_heart:

beautiful depiction.

So did some Bibliomancy a few nights ago and this was the first page that hit:

“The secret chakra, the chakra behind the genitals, is the point of focus. Inside this chakra is a black tigle… The teaching says dreams generated here are likely to contain wrathful dieties… These are dreams in which the elements destroy the images of the self”

p117

I had a strong intuition that this experience was something that could be very useful for LDs, here is the post:

"LOL, well not exactly. But I did notice something interesting about my family jewels ‘down there’…

WARNING
Do not read the rest of this post unless you are a medical professional or emergency room worker:

(Ok so I was debating on posting this, my intuition told me to, but I decided against it, but then I had a synchronicity with the Elephant dildos pic you posted, and figured it was important to document this experience for the medical literature…)

So before taking the nap around noon, I took 1 8mg Galantamine as well as 2 GABA pills (I had a synchronicity with someone from dream Sangha sharing this supplement for her WBTB).

Then I read the book Natural Radiance, then as I got a little sleepy, watched a meditation video until the sleep gravity started to get heavy. Turned off video.

Closed eyes and did red lotus visualization, along with the seed syllable Mantra.

Then the ‘magic’ started to happen. As sleep was getting close, still awake, my awareness, went from my throat following the blood flow of the body, and I noticed it was beginning to swell down south within my ‘Washington monument’.

There was no arousal stimulus or images, really weird, it was either the supplements, or my body being so relaxed that it began to relax everywhere, or both, or neither :upside_down_face:.

Never used this area of the body as a place to ‘anchor’ awareness, but I thought it was a brilliant insight, however unorthodox. Because this is one of the few parts of the body in males and females, where blood flow and muscle activity seems to defy sleep paralysis (the other area being the eyes, which I think you have about a 33% chance of waking up if you focus on them in the wrong way in a dream).

I thought it was a brilliant insight, and then wondered if this is something monks teach, or lucid dream teachers teach in private as a way of becoming lucid in a dream. Probably not. :upside_down_face:"

I was very hesistant to share this experience. But my intuition had caught a scent, and I had a very strong feeling there was some deep spiritual teaching or benefit that could be found if I followed the clues.
Look no further than the drawing on page 112

It depict 4 ‘Mega’ Chankras, the 3 really big ones, and then the 4th SECRET one.

Kicking myself for not reading this passage in the past. This week was my first time reading it.

" These are dreams in which the elements destroy the images of the self"

This parallels the conclusion I came up with after that ‘dream’ experience.
:exploding_head:

" The colour of the Karma family is green like in the springtime and the body part is the groin and reproductive organs.

The Secret Chakra contains a 32 petalled lotus. These petals represent the sub-channels that flow at the groin area from the three main energy channels of our body.

The Secret Chakra has to do with creation, reproduction and elimination. From the process of creation, the secret chakra has to do with life-force, vitality, and energy. From there stems its connection with intention or will.

It also involves the whole process of production and extinction. During the death process, rebirth in the lower realms is reflected in our energy leaving the body through the lower chakras. Higher birth is reflected in the energy going from the heart upward through the crown chakra. Deliberately imagining our energy exiting the crown of our head at the time of death improves the likelihood of a higher rebirth.

The Secret Chakra practices involve paying attention to the processes of elimination and sexual energy. It is also important to pay attention to vitality or life-force. Confidence is also a part of the Secret Chakra energy. So paying attention to our level of confidence is also an important aspect of awareness of Karma energy and the Secret chakra.

Evidence of the association of these energies is that the reproductive processes, confidence, and vitality can all diminish with age. The method to keep vitality and confidence high, and even sexual energy, is by remaining active, and not eating heavy meals but eating light, well-balanced food. Action is a part of Karma energy and so keeping active, setting goals, and having a purpose helps to keep Karma family energy activated."

Really great article

one must recognize the potential dream holds for the spiritual journey.”

This makes me so happy, as @Dream_Hacker has said, this text is basically the bible for dreaming, so profound and powerful, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
