Chogyam Trungpa. Authentic presence.

-"The path of the four dignities is the path of how to incorporate more and more space into your world"

-"The four dignities are:
.Meek
.Perky
.Outrageous
.Inscrutable
The four dignities must be connected to the path of warriorship.
Windhorse is the fuel that energizes the four dignities and authentic presence is the vehicle"
The warrior experiences a sense of relaxing in his achievement, which is not based on ego-centered concerns but on resting in unconditional confidence, free from aggression. So the journey becomes like a flower unfolding -it is a natural process of expansion"

-"The warrior of meekness.
His mind is not filled with ordinary preoccupations and you are never seduced by trivial situations.
Three stages:
1) The warrior is modest. No arrogance then.
2) The warrior has an unconditional confidence. He is like a tiger in his prime. Because the tiger likes his body and his bounciness ans sense of rythm, he is relaxed. From the tip of his nose to the tip of this tail, there are no problems. His watchfulness is accompanied by relaxation and confidence.
3) Because there is not hesitation, the warrior's mind is vast. His mind is uplifted and he sees beyond the limits of the sky.
Because the warrior of meekness possesses extraordinary exertion, he is able to accomplish whatever purposes he is trying to fulfill. The sense of exertion is not speedy because like the tiger in the jungle, he is both relaxed and energized.
The warrior of meek has abandoned gain, victory and fame, leaving them behind. He is not dependent on feedback from others, because you have no doubt about yourself. You do not rely on encouragement or discouragement. Then, his has no need to display his valor to others.
When the warrior is raising his windhorse, he feels good and trusts himself. Because he respects himself he does not have to depend on gain or victory, and because he trust himself it is not necessary to be fearful of others. So the warrior does not have to trick others and his dignity is never diminished"

-"The warrior of perky: A SNOW LION who enjoys the freshness of the highland mountains.
  The surroundings are wild flowers, a few trees, and occasional boulders and rocks.
  There are two stages:\
  1) Experiencing an uplifted and joyful mind.
  2) The warrior of perky is never caught up in the trap of doubt.
  The fundamental doubt is doubting yourself when occurs when body and mind are unsynchronized. This doubt can manifest as anxiety or jealousy or arrogance, or in its extreme form, as slandering others because you doubt your own confidence.
  The warrior of perky rests in the state of trust that comes from meekness. Therefore he has no doubt, and because of that, he never enters what are known as the lower realms. These refer to living purely for the sake of survival. You are stricken with a poverty mentality. You experience constant hunger and fear of losing your life.
 The fruition of perky is that you achieve a wholesome body and mind and the synchronization of the two"
