Dralas. Chögyam Trungpa

- "Drala is not a god or spirit, but fundamentally it is connecting the wisdom of your own being with the power of things as they are. If you are able to connect those two things, out of that, you can discover magic in everything."
-"Drala is energy beyond aggression. The only way to contact that energy is to experience a gentle state of being in yourself. So the discovery of drala is not coincidental. To connect with the fundamental magic of reality there has to be gentleness and openness in you already. Otherwise, there is no way to recognize the energy of nonaggression, the energy of drala, in the world."
-"The essence of this way or path is transcending cowardice and manifesting bravery. The fundamental aspect of bravery is being without deception. Deception in this case is self-deception, doubting yourself so that you are cut off form the vision of the Great Eastern Sun. If there is the slightest deception, you will dispel drala."
-"The Shambhala understanding of bravery is quite different. Here bravery is the courage to be -to live in the world without any deception and with tremendous kindness and caring for others."
-"True magic is the magic of reality as it is: the earth of earth, the water of water -communicating with the elements, so that, in some sense, the become one with you."
-"When you develop bravery, you make a connection with the elemental quality of existence. Bravery begins to heighten your existence, that is, to bring out the brilliant and genuine qualities of your environment and of your own being."
-"You see that you can actually organize your life in such a way that you magnetize magic, or drala, to manifest brilliance and elegance in your world. The way to do this is divided into three parts, which are called the three ways to invoke drala.
