Rogue Pilgrim

I'd like to meet:

A kind-hearted girl with an open mind that wants to cultivate a friendship, perhaps leading to more.
Looks, wealth, status - these mean little to me. What matters is the quality of her heart and mind - a generosity of spirit.

What I Am Striving to Become

A Ngak'phang gÇodpa the moment before the demons are summoned
This unknown naljorpa wears the tod-kheb (sTod khebs - waistcoat), and gomthag (sGom thag) - or meditation belt characteristic of the ngak'phang naljorpa tradition. He also wears the naljorpa kar-tod or white shirt (dKar-tods - dKar po Tod thung) and kar-sham or white skirt (dKar po sham thabs) of the Naljorpa / naljorma tradition. This naljorpa is a practitioner of gÇod - the practice of cutting attachment to the corporeal form as a reference point. He is poised at the point before he begins to play the gÇod drum and plays a series of blasts on his human thigh bone trumpet to summon demons to devour the feast he has prepared for them - the feast of his own dualistic identity.

Wandering gCodpa Central Tibet - early 20th Century
This wandering Nyingma Ngakpa Lama is typical of the many wandering gCodpas who traveled throughout Tibet practising gCod in charnel grounds and other such ‘normally’ terrifying places. Often disregarded by European travelers to Tibet as beggars – these Nyingma yogis and yoginis could sometimes have been important Lamas. The white Ngakpa’s shamthab of this gCodpa is a complete pastiche of rags, and his mountain retreat hat shows the signs of many years wear. He is pictured here reciting a section from the practice of gCod for local people he has met. gCodpas would often announce their presence in villages through which they passed by chanting as they walked – this was both to solicit alms and to offer their services to the local population. gCodpas were well known for their ability to terminate epidemics and they could always be called upon to carry the dead to the charnel grounds. It was part of the life of a wandering gCodpa or gCodma to render help to others in relation to death and disease. They were without fear for their own corporeal existence and thus able to bring comfort and support to others in times of crisis.The gCodpa in this photograph has leant his khatvangha trident against a wall whist engaged in recitation. The strap across his shoulder holds a pouch for liturgical text and a pouch for his bell – gCodpas and gCodmas carried everything they needed to survive and practice, wherever they went.

Ngak'phang gÇodpa Cutting attachment to 'corporeal form as reference point'
This unknown ngakpa is a gÇodpa - a wandering yogi who practices gÇod in charnel grounds, graveyards, and other places known to arouse fear. gÇod, pronounced 'chöd', means 'cutting'. It is the rite of cutting attachment to the corporeal form through making an offering of one's body to any being who wishes to devour it. The offering is made through the process of visualisation in which one arises as Trö-ma Nakmo (the black wrathful mother) in the sky above one's head. One then visualises oneself cleaving away the top of one's head to make a mystical bone cauldron in which one cooks one's dismembered body. One offers this 'feast' in various forms, and at various times of the day and night, in order to repay one's 'karmic debts' accrued over æons. This is a wrathful practice and one which is not lightly undertaken. gÇodpas and gÇodmas develop great power to alleviate illness through their practice and are often asked to come and practice in areas where their have been epidemics. They are also requested to take the bodies of the deceased into the mountains and to perform the necessities of air-burial for them. A gÇodpa or gÇodma vows never to refuse such a request. The ngak'phang gÇodpa in this photograph is wearing the white shamthab of the gö-kar-chang-lo'i-dé and the gomthag (meditation strap) of the naljorpa. The tousled mats of his hair are bound up on his head in the ralpa style in which matted strands of hair are also left to hang loose down his shoulders. He wears the ngak'phang conch shell earrings (see link to close-up) which symbolise the trak-tung (khrag 'thung - Skt Heruka) the 'blood drinking' wrathful yidams. In the foreground stands his khatvangha trident, and in the background stands his three sided gÇod tent. The gÇodpa or gÇodma travels from place to place practising gÇod and being of benefit to those they meet. In the tent one can see gÇod texts and on the chog-tsé table in front of the ngakpa, stand two skull bowls and his bell. He holds his gÇod drum and thighbone trumpet - the primary ritual tools of gÇod.

The Son Of The King Of The West

By blood, I am a descendent of Charles the Great, known as Charlemagne, the first Holy Emperor of Rome.

The greatest of the Frankish rulers, Charlemagne brought a new ideal of kingship to Europe that had a tremendous influence long after his own empire crumbled. The kingdom of the Franks was one of the most powerful of the barbarian kingdoms of the Dark Ages. Founded after the fall of the Roman Empire, it included much of modern-day France, Germany, and the Netherlands, along with all of Belgium and Switzerland. Shortly before his death in 768 AD, Pepin the Short divided his kingdom between his sons Charles and Carloman. However, Carloman died only three years afterward and left Charles as sole king of the Franks.
Charles was both an ambitious ruler and an effective one and within his own lifetime, he became known as Charles the Great, a title also rendered as Carolus Magnus and the more familiar Charlemagne. Charlemagne perceived himself as being the heir to both the ancient kings of Troy and the great Roman emperors, claiming actual descent from the former and reviving the ideals and administrative principles of the latter. Additionally, Charlemagne embarked on an extensive campaign of military activity and expanded the Frankish kingdom to include Bavaria, Lombardy, Corsica, and Saxony, and virtually doubled the amount of territory controlled by the Franks to include most of Europe.
Yet, Charlemagne was more than simply a warrior-king. Although he was himself illiterate, Charlemagne had a fine appreciation for learning and surrounded himself with scholars at his court at Aachen. At the palace school, the scribes were responsible for preserving a great amount of Latin literature. Furthermore, Charlemagne cultivated diplomatic relations with many important figures. This was particularly true of the Pope Hadrian I and Charlemagne made several important pilgrimages to Rome to foster harmonious relations with the papacy. On Christmas day of 800 AD, Pope Hadrian I crowned Charlemagne emperor of what would later be called the Holy Roman Empire. Nonetheless, Charlemagne's extensive empire did not last long. After his death it was divided among the heirs of his son Louis the Pious. This was first done at the Treaty of Verdun in 843 AD, and again in 855 AD.
Perhaps Charlemagne's most lasting contribution to European society was his idea that a king should rule over both the state and the church. Charlemagne saw it as his right and duty to administer divine law over all Christians and to maintain authority over the workings of the Church. This conception of rulership, though surviving in the Byzantine Empire, had not been seen in Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire. By entwining the spheres of power and influence of the empire and the papacy, Charlemagne sowed the seeds for a power struggle between these two institutions which would last throughout the Middle Ages.

My relation to Carolus Magnus is derived from the Mercoeur line, which later became Mercedes, and then Mercier.

I don't place importance on any of this. Having "royal blood" doesn't make you special, but it can give you issues of specialness! It's an interesting piece of my family history, though.

Music:

Instrumentals with piano, chello and violin - the sadder the better. Some of my favorite artists are Dashboard Confessional, Yo-Yo Ma, Phillip Glass, PJ Harvey, Rasputina, Massive Attack, the Pixies, Rob Dougan, Moby, Danzig, System of a Down (the melodic songs), Godsmack, Chevelle, Bush, Creed (yes, I'm a sap, ok?), the Foo Fighters, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, some Jay-Z, Nirvana, Portishead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, the White Stripes, Black Eyed Peas, Audioslave, Crash Test Dummies, Blind Willy (and select old blues); as you can see, it's a variety but doesn't contain any young country.

Television:

I don't watch much TV except for my favorite show, "Battlestar Galactica". "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" really get me laughing. Recently I started watching "Heroes", thanks to an internet website that archives television episodes! When I am too tired to do anything else I often watch the History Channel, Discovery Channel or CNN.

Books:

I am currently reading "A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar" by Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, and "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien".

Heroes:

Saint Thérèse de Lisieux "The Little Flower"

Thérèse is known for her "Little Way." In her quest for sanctity, she realized that it was not necessary to accomplish heroic acts or "great deeds" in order to attain holiness and to express her love of God. She wrote,"Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love."
"Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness - Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well."
On her death-bed, she is reported to have said "I have reached the point of not being able to suffer any more, because all suffering is sweet to me."

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
