Dzogchen ended up in the lake

Says it all, doesn´t it? It´s been nagging at me for a couple of days. Tried to read some by the lake today. It is just crap, all of it sooo……..ended up in the wet. Guess I am done reading now. It became food for fish.

Rigpa idéa

There is an idéa in my head of how it would be to be Rigpa with human experience. I think you might be headed that way. It should be surreal somehow. It would be impossible to say or think “I”. The references should be for Rigpa, not human ID. The awareness should penetrate every thing. Like being a mindreader. Or just aware of things without expressing them in thoughts or doings, as in the “motherexperience” I had. Am not sure it would work at all but that is the idéa that stick in my head. Then it would not be any Aurora living, it would be Rigpa investigating “life”.

There is a lot going on in this head right now. The book stirs it.

Yesterday...


...was one of those days when everything works. Sun shining whole day. What a joy. After lunch I packed my bag with fruit, lemonade and cameras. And something to sit on. Then head for the forest for a long walk.

Even brought my Dzogchen book, as there is a good place to sit when I arrive to the lake. So, coming down to the lake I sat down. Enjoyed the sound of waves as there still is no ice. Sun rather warm on my face and light in my eyes. “Drinking” both light, sounds and warmth.

Read some pages in the book. Then took some pics on wet iceicles in backlight. A wonderful afternoon.

It still feels good, even if my dad called me last night, telling me that he had had a stomach sickness. But he is taken care of so I need not worry. That is great.

And after the “stormy weather” around x-mas, one of those crises, it is now such a good feeling that things seem to work smoothly. I can meditate, read the book without having this feeling of resistence. Talk to grim and chip and find it interesting, even a bit exciting. What a change, can only hope it stays that way for a while.

Drinking light

Well, not really maybe, but we had such a dark winter. This afternoon was a lovely sunlight. Went out just to be in it. Turning the face towards the sun to get as much as possible.

Picked up that book. Took it with me out in nature and sat down looking throu it. It is the first time in several years that I actually look forward to reading a spiritual book. A strange feeling. Hope it will meet my expectations.

Winona´s Web

by Pricilla Cogan
Have been reading a book I found on the library. It is a trilogy but I only have the first book.

It is about a woman Meggie, that moved back to the countryhouse her grandmother once lived in. She workes as a psychiatrist in a nearby town.

One day she recieves a new patient, Winona, who is a sioux medicinwoman and pipebearer.

Winona says she shall die in two months time. Her daughter is frustrated. Now…. in therapy session, the roles turns. Winona takes over and starts to teach Meggie. The spirits wants that, so Winona has to stay a bit longer.

Winona teaches Meggie about being a native medicinwoman.

They also discuss a lot of things. This is Wionas thoughts about Jesus:
“She loves the story of Jesus birth but says it is a pitty that so much of the story is lost. They go from the child who KNOWS, to the adult man that has rediscovered what he had forgot.
He have learned to listen to the answers of his prayers. Most of us is stuck in the middle without any story that can help us. People goes to church and gets answers without having asked the questions. Yes, they can ask with the head, but the questions does not come from the heart.”

Once Winona asked the spirits in the sweetlodge about Jesus. They answered that Jesus was Gods son and was sent to the white man because the whites feared death so much.



This book was good to me right now. As I am a bit depressed and “out of purpose”, this is a book where Meggie is given, unknowingly at first, a new purpose with her life. Will I have a purpose? Or is eating and sleeping what will keep me alive. Just alive, not living.
