"WORK FOR THE HIGHER POWER"

Before I'll get to the main topic I want to say that "synchronicity" is the Grace's revilement of "not two".

Last night's adventures in Consciousness included a very poignant "not two" moment . I became aware of people's singing Amazing Grace and saw some  folks walking down the middle of the street just as they were turning a corner . . . Next, I am gliding  in the same direction-flow -- mere inches above the heads of a seemingly never-ending shoulder-to-shoulder walking throng. The political  world-scene is  a'changing in the Arab nations.

Thy Will be done! Just like the Berlin wall, that which is nuts sooner or later crumbles . . .

Once upon time, my radio teacher Ann Toth told me to offer a rose (in meditation) to,   on the ground standing man,  after I gloated about my (face up) joy-spinning   in the air ,  then when he asked, "where do you think your power comes from?" , I  answered:
"Where do you think all power comes from?" and continued spinning joyfully.

 Ann saw right through me when I shared  what happened, and I'm very grateful for that!  She told me to  visualise giving that man a red rose ..... Next time I was  dancing on air in dream-state, I dared him to join me, and he did! At first his face looked grotesque, but the longer we danced the more attractive he got.

As indicated before I was divinely guided to become a healer.   I still have my  journal notes where I made a note on  Oct. 16th 93'  how   I received an Invitation and an Initiation, but I had to meditate on it to figure out what it meant exactly...

 It was one of  those (for me) poignant messages , which  I knew ignoring it was not an option.  But to hear the answer  to my "but what does it mean exactly?" question  had to wait  until I heard loud and clear  from the realm of Silence, what it is I was supposed do with that message.

I got the answer and responded, and if I didn't respond?  and, if I didn't follow up on what my Soul was guiding me towards?
 I would never know what I missed.  
Some call this type of spiritual practice Dream Yoga. Ever since I was a kid I've been a lucid dreamer that's why I pay attention to significant  signs and symbols. . . brief account of what happened:
So, there I was  having a very pleasant  conversation with an "eccentric woman".  I knew,"We were on the same level" . At some point, she pointed to some folks  and said:  "they believe in magic" -- to which I responded, "if you have the knowledge you can make it happen."

Next instant I was inside a dwelling, standing inside a circle of red clad men who seemed a "couple of 2 feet taller than me" -- which kind of spooked me. I did the 360 degree scan and withdrew my consciousness from that 'moment'.
 Next, I'm struggling to find my way out only to find my self impossibly stuck in a tiny chamber  and  "realized quickly it was futile." (to struggle).
Next instant  I found myself in a room... "no one approached me, but I knew what I had to do, and said: "I'll work for you."
Next I'm standing next to a dark haired woman who pointed to a small,   square and very black shiny "object" ( indicating "pick it up"). "I knew it was a test of sorts and confidently picked it up" . . .Same instant  "I felt like the energies of that object and mine were fusing". Next,  a "Tremendous current of energy lifted me off the ground."
"I levitated" and glided across a people-filled room over to a table with lovers "in love". She was wearing a "satin" creme colored blouse -- my favorite color at the time. 

Oct. 19th. I was alone and decided to intentionally focus on what the above meant exactly. I sat down and waited with eyes open for some sign with incense 'on' seated at least 10 feet away from it. The windows and doors were closed. The cat was not running around and yet -- not right away, but at some point -- the smoke from the incense began drifting directly towards my face in a straight beeline.  That  was  really uncanny . . . And then  I knew!

"I KNOW NOW what the above dream told me "WORK FOR THE HIGHER POWER". I will study Reiki." (direct quote).

I had no idea what Reiki was about but saw in Rev. John White's class one woman raise her palms towards someone who was talking about her migraine and that gesture felt-looked so loving. I heard her say the word Reiki and that it had to do with "energy work". Some days later I  had my  first Reiki workshop.

Becoming a Source of Light

The Soul infused personality no longer fears other's judgments, is no longer caught up in patterns of people-pleasing or people-controlling, because we know who we are and we know where we're headed. . . We tell the truth and if that truth is not welcome, we still communicate it by acting as our Truth because we are filled with Spiritual Purpose.
This state of realization flows from the same source as Jesus' Sword of Truth -- His, "Think not I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace but a sword."

Yes.

When we realize we are eternal and part of a bigger plan we don't cower or mince our words. We have a mind that receives impressions from the Divine mind, which the Soul recognizes as 'higher ideals'. . . These mystical forces keep us on track, keep us pointing in the right direction.
Recognizing and receiving spiritual gifts for what they are, gives us the courage and the strenght to act on them. For otherwise what would be the point of it all? We instinctively recognize what is true and what is false and shallow and sitting on our hands, pretending we are deaf and mute is not an option for one who is 'spirit-alive'.
But we also know how to pick our battles. Jesus warned not to stick around those who hate you.

And rest assured, when inflation tries to rear its proud head, the Soul, like a flame reduces to ashes anything within us that doesn't resonate with the Divine Truth, because this Sword is a double edge sword.
Spiritual Warrior receives its 'command' by way of signs primarily, and if we are versed in properly reading the message we have no choice but obey.

By 'Unknown Friend' on visions quote:

"Vision presents and shows us spiritual things, inspiration infuses us with understanding of them, and intuition reveals to us their essence by way of assimilation with our essence."

I was given in Nov. 5/92 a vision which deeply resonated its "You are being guided, fear not" message. . . A vivid vision of a Fish bringing forth from its mouth a shiny black sphere, which I on the spot translated (from journal quote) as "spirituality" & "power".

May as well mention, just below I jutted down on Nov. 12th/92 about being escorted into a room by a man while "I FLOATED thinking about writing from the intuitive".

So here I am, years later -- still on the Internet -- scribbling, caring not one iota if anyone will ever read this, but it is something I must do because I promised . . .

On Rapture Musings

Edited 2024-07-07 - I decided to rewrite this blog in greater detail and give it a better suited Path Ordained by God, title. This extremely complex 'bridging the gulf between Heaven & Earth' topic's new incarnation was published in 2024/March. I am leaving this one as is 'for the record'.

In this post I will describe three types of  Soul level  Initiations (post-enlightenment stages). These events or experiences fall into the Soul science category that acts like a bridge that joins Humanity and Divinity in a 'not two', way. Genuine Saints and Siddhas show that 'Soul Powers' are real, show that recipients of Grace-bestowed Initiations, have a moral duty to obey the inner call of our vocation for the benefit of all beings. We encourage: 'Open your soul to the Eternal - but it must be the eternal that draws forth your strenght and beauty, not desire for growh. For in one case you develop in the luxuriance of purity, in the other you harden by the forcible passion for personal stature'- in words of an unknown Master. . .We remind the spiritual aspirant that the 'surrendered one relies on Grace to help us patiently endure years upon years of continuous 'demolition' of karmic bagage.

What I describe happened many years before I was guided to check out Aurobindo's work.  What I share *descents of Divine Force-Light/Bliss-Sound* takes place at the zenith-point of one's eternal self-Soul's evolution. And, because I didn't misuse this Knowledge, or betray it by imagining I was 'special, I was able to sustain the responsibility of its Command to bring to the world's evolutionary spirituality table, the Story of what needs to happen before one attains the Final Samadhi. The attainment of the Stage of Coronation in Omniscient in all its aspects, carries with it a responsibility to 'bring down heaven to earth for ourselves and mankind'.

Sri Aurobindo confirms for us that,
'Divine condition descends from above, is given by the Divine. +  The higher spiritual planes create their own formulations in the subliminal in the depths within us. + (but)  To know them, the Supermind must descend into us. +  We do not found ourselves on faith alone, but on great ground of knowledge which we have been developing and testing day and night for years upon years more scrupulously than any scientist his theory and his method on the physical plane." + From The Life Divine, p.956 "For a real transformation there must be a direct and unveiled intervention from above; there would be necessary too a total submission and surrender of the lower consciousness, a cessation of its instence, a will in it for its separate law of action to be completely annulled by transformation and lose all rights over our being."

                                                                <><><>
Brief descriptions:
1.  This particular Initiation experience  was unlike any other, yet just as startling-intense as the rest (circa 1993) - and occurred  during hands-on energy balancing sessions while working on my Master Dr. Kiara Galbreath. On this rare occasion I decided to join the three other fellow students after I finished working on someone else. Standing room only and hands on Kiara's knees suited me fine, until I felt so much energy surging through me and my hands began 'jumping' with strong zaps of electric-like currents. Couple of minutes later, a very much 'solid' column-like of Energy began pounding my Crown chakra in rhythmic waves. . . This was the most fascinating thing to me, because I was standing in a room full of  talking and laughing people!  I knew I had to stay as still as possible and take long and deep breaths in order to accommodate the influx of this Energy into my system. I knew I was in an altered state of consciousness, because even though I heard the noise as if from a great distance,  it made my head hurt.  Because the noise/sound felt very  jarring-uncomfortable, it was really annoying and at some point I asked for silence.  I made that request more then once, then finally the woman sitting at Kiara's feet heard me, and said: "Helen is asking for silence".  No one heard her, so she asked again - and then the room fell silent . . .The instant that happened, I became very self-conscious of my breathing and asked this Energy to cease its action.  And it did.  Not instantly, but within seconds this Conscious Intelligence-Forces' rhythmic wave-action slowed down before ceasing altogether.

*  In retrospect I realized that everyone was so talkative and 'happy' was not just because 'Big Bob' was telling stories about his vacation in Florida with teen daughters, but in addition, they felt the influence of this (transcendent) Bliss Energy.
                                                                 *
2.  I named  the following *extremely intense* Initiation  (in 94) 'Thundering Combustion Experience'.  .   .
I was in bed flat on my back when suddenly my  head  became like a thunderously roaring,  ready to explode,  missile.  .  . I thought this Energy will render me toast (dead) and uttered  "God be with me!"  Next instant I disappeared. . .without  name and  history  'I'  became  witnessing awareness, aware  of  the Intelligent Immensity and Magnitude so great  that,  it is beyond the wildest imagination.
I don't know how long 'I' stayed in this state, but felt what happened  the instant my extremely subtle body  snapped back into my flesh body. The impact was so abrupt, I felt my light body's torso  rise-up to a sitting position before gently laying down.

* Edit adding  23/05/2018, verifying quote from The Darsana Upanishad (6. 36-38) -- which I  chanced upon in 2013 - and am including here with permission from Mr. Sandeep www.auromere.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/the-subtle-sounds-which-indicate-progress-in-yoga.

"The Darsana Upanishad describes the sound heard when the consciousness becomes centered in the Brahmandra (anterior fontanelle), located in top-center region of the head: Whe air (prana) enters the Brahmaranda, nada (sound) is also produced there. Resembling at first the sound of conchblast (sanka-dhvani) and like a roaring of a mountain cataract (giri-praravanna). Thereafter, O great wise one! The Atman, mightily pleased, will actually appear in front of thee. Then there will be ripeness of the Knowledge of Atman from Yoga and disowing by the Yogi of worldly existence." - Guy L. Beck, Sonic Theology, pp 39-103

Edit-ading 2024-01-25 recently discovered *verifying* passages penned by the Rig Veda seer and Shankara, on 'the might of the mighty Rudra'. Adi Shankara defined the name Rudra as: "One who makes all beings cry at the time of cosmic dissolution." + "The strenghth of Godhead never departs from Rudra, him who is sovereing of this world, the mighty" (2.33. g).
The Rig Veda named the Godhead's Power 'Rudra', which is often associated with the sound not heard with our ears' + 'his terrifying howl as he embraks on his destructive rampage' + "The might of the mighty eradicates problems" *karma*.
Rig Veda's prayer to Rudra inludes this verse: "We worship the three eye One who has matted hair who shines like the Sun."
The Bible has references to 'rushing mighty wind': (King James) Acts 2:2-4 "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven of a rushing mighty wind, and filled the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it set upon each of them."
Jeremiah 5:13 "And the prophets shal become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them".
The rushing wind imagery represents the the dynamic and transformative nature of the Holy Spirit.

I am happy to say that Aurobindo confirmed for me/us that: "There are many Forces (but) it is only the Supramental Force that works absolutely because it creates its own conditions. & The Force descends for two things: 1. To transform the Nature 2. To carry on the work through the instrument' & "One feels the force only when one is conscious of it." & "The descent of Peace, the descent of Force or Power, the descent of Light, the descent of Ananda, these are the four things that transform nature. All these different actions of the Force on the adhara with the intention of opening it up from above and below and horizontally also. The action from above opens it to the descent of forces from above the Mind and the ascent of consciousness above the lid of the ordinary human mind. The horizontal action opens it to cosmic consciousness on all its levels. The action from below helps to connect the superconscient. Finally the consciousness instead of being limited in the body becomes infinite, rises infinitely above, plunges infinitely below, widens infinitely on every side. There is besides the opening of the centers to the Light and Power and Ananda that has to descend from above. & "A sound does sometimes come with a particular descent of conciousness or Force from above."

3.  I was awakened suddenly because every fiber of my being was vibrating with loud, high voltage note-frequency.  That too felt uncanny but  not entirely surprising because by then, Kundalini Shakti put me through many types of energy balancing Initiations.

* Edit-adding in 2023-06-18, statement on Shabd *Sound* penned by Rig Veda seer: "But the perfect saints, irrespective of whether they belonged to one religion or the other, have gone beyond this and have spoken of Sar Shabd and Sat Shabd as well, and regions beyond Brahmand". - wikipedia/Surat_Shabd_Yoga
Because of these,  and many other types of Initiations, long time ago I wrote: 'I am neither Christian, or any other world's tradition mystic, because the Supreme Shakti  Initiated me into all Wisdom Traditions.  I integrated them all by directly comprehending the Essence of each Tradition's teaching.  At this stage-attainment one has the spiritual authority to declare: 'I jumped out of all possible systems by becoming one with the very source of all power, and therefore, am no longer bound by any of them'.

P.S. Today, I revisited some notes from years gone by - a time I was posting on Shambhala forums (which are long gone) where spiritual types congregated and am smiling. In those years I called myself 'spiritual baby'  and asserted nothing. I shared mystical experiences and read what (mostly) Buddhist types shared with each other. . .I also word-played, because my nature was/is dancing with Joy. I am smiling because one man wrote something to me that caught my fancy, and I want to share what he said said to me:
His avatar name was ogb -  comment's heading said: "Why?"- posted 7/8/2002 at 19:50 AM  (to my response whose content I don't recall).

Just to be with you at the end of the world...
skipping on wide stone path,
like children returning home.
From a single touch of your tummy
comes realizations of kicking imaginations;
fetus of futures truth unborn.
Within you love is right.
