About a half hour later while I was eating lunch, Jane Trombe, Rinpoche's wife, walked by. She was speaking to someone and said, "We have everything ready to publish except the cover." I reached my arm out, touched her shoulder and said, "I'll do the cover" And so it was.
I had been wanting for some time to explore the Tibetan symbology, sensing that the flat two-dimensional symbols were really portals to a three dimensional space of metaphysical mastery. I had wanted to do an Aura Portrait to show this moving essence realization for the Tibetan community; To walk through the symbol into the etheric realities and show the journey via Art. I definately got the opportunity, for in learning the traditional depictions of the Dieties, I found myself behind the symbols traveling in the ethereal realms that Dawa Drolma herself had visited. Connecting with her, through a photograph of the woman who was the reincarnated presence of Dawa Drolma was the most profound part of the experience. I traveled back through her to Dawa Drolma herself and then back further to when she was 15 years old... reading more of her Aura at each level and translating it into aura-vision art.
