what about Dzogchen inspires you the most?

That's something I would like to learn more of. I been studying Buddhism and Daoism lately, and taking a break from sorcery. One thing I learned from sorcery is that our perceptions of perfection manifest within our awareness to be seen in the world around us. That taken in consideration gives us the supreme ability to stalk and discover the hidden perfections in order to unlock them to our senses.

Sry for delayed response.  More disruption/instability....and then recallibrating/restoring.  Over and over and over and over.  Its awful......but necessary to strip the ego down to the core, I guess.

So, Dzogchen!  Emaho   

I remember the very first waking vision I ever had was at a Tensegrity workshop.  Laying down on our backs after performing the magical pass Affection for the Earth.  The convention center seminar room disappeared and I was walking into a clearing in the woods.....lush green everywhere.  Everything verdant, crystal clear....the detail was superb in every direction.  Upon arriving at the clearing, I saw a shimmering distortion toward the middle....and the closer I got, the more obvious the source of the distortion.  It was a large, dome-shaped building that was perfectly camouflaged in that its outer surface was purely and completely reflective....as if made of a solid piece of mirror.  There was an opening at the front of the massive, mirror "igloo" facing me with two guards on either side.  I drew closer and was allowed to look inside....but not to enter, at that time.  Within the opening I could see that the whole of the interior was filled with pure, clear light.....banded colors in the spectrum of the rainbow.  I cannot convey the feeling of awe/intensity upon witnessing it, other than to say it was one of the supreme experiences of my life....and an indicator of a particular trajectory of direction, for me.  

It took me awhile to figure out that the essence of Dzogchen (sorry....misspelled in the title ) is the path that most accurately reflects this direction, I feel.  It just has to do with purity of alignment......through the path of pure acceptance/awareness/awe/energy/power.....non-judgment, both with respect to the self...and to everything around me.  An awareness that accepts everything all at once at its most fundamental level.  Energy flowing in the universe.  Pure intelligence....and intention.  Its the only way I can come to terms with the whole of myself......my strengths....and my weaknesses.  The good/the bad....the beauty and the ugliness....the "pure" and the "impure".  All of it, bathed in the light of awareness/acceptance.  Not in terms of a mental exercise....but in terms of pure awareness, moment to moment.  One that progressive burns through obstacles both inner and outer (although its all inner, from what I understand).  All obstacles to pure alignment.  

But, still.....there's something about taking this fundamental notion of "priimordial awareness" within which spontaneous energy/creativity/affection/intent/power arises and bringing it into the joyful/adventurous exploration inherent in shamanism/nagualism.  It seems intriguing....as long as I don't get lost in all the variant experiences/appearances that are inherent in the shamanistic path.  As long as I can hold onto the primordial perspective

I don't know....I'm missing alot in this explanation....but it'll have to do for now
