At the apex-point of the evolutionary journey of the soul to the Divine, one discovers it is the non-biological Soul/She who is in charge...for she knows best how to fulfill her ancient blueprint. Through Her Light-Power-Might one realizes that all Life (in the visible and visible domains) is 'pregnant' with this invisible to the eye of flesh and mind,(ever-present) Supreme Light-Power.
This realization can only be attained from a place of Unity within the Inner plane. . .
Wisdom literature texts can use metaphors to describe the nature of the True Light that enlightens everyone. . .But even the most spiritually alluring words loose all meaning when its Direct Presence introduces itself to the awakened awareness of one's eternal self-Soul. Only then one can know truly that Her Light/Essence is no different than the Light of the Supreme Creator.
She is the Blessed Bridge leading one to discover one's own Divine nature in the embodied sense. . .
Authentic Soul Liberation can't be reached by the thinking mind and its concepts, it is not accessible by feelings or intuition or the experience of nothingness.
Any authentically Enlightened mystic whose non-biological inner Light being (Soul) gets Ravished by the Luminosity of the Great Light and its Bliss-Essence -- during the many types of Soul level Initiations -- bears witness to this.
The transcendence-aspect of the spiritual life is experienced at the apex of one's eternal self-Soul's evolution and it involves having one's karmic impurities systematically consumed by the Holy Spirit's Fire (Kundalini Shakti) . . .Without this step, She will not be ready to be erotically ravished by the Divine Beloved. Without this step, one can't bear the full impact of the Supreme Cosmic Force-Power ... the very same Power which creates and sustains the universe.
By now, we know that surrender to what is happening to us, is the only way to go. In other words, we completely let go of the idea of having any type of control during the process of continuous demolition and construction. . .
We have no idea what may come next, still we trust the process, because now we truly know we are guided and are supported by the Mystery of the Divine Consort....Guided by the Vision and Force-Power of the Great Star of Liberation.
There have been times when (in deep samadhi states) I have been given supporting phrases such as:
Concentrate on formulations of cosmic consciousness. And: Absolute Yantra as travel elegance becomes reality liberation within the one Divine.
The Integration Process is about Soul level Initiations whose final goal is the ultimate integration. What does the term 'ultimate integration', signifies?
I'm glad I have Robert A. F. Thurman's translation (w/commentary) of:
The Tibetan Book Of The Dead - from Glossary section:
Integration, Sanskrit yuganaddha is the Unexcelled Yoga Tantra name for Buddhahood, the fifth and highest of the perfection stages, indicating that relative and ultimate, individual and universal, body and mind, bliss and wisdom, male and female--all dualities are integrated in this experience of fulfillment.
When one's awareness crosses the line of the sublimated mind, (passes out of its thinking loop-sphere) one not only sees, but feels the presence of the Divine/God-Light-Bliss in every fiber of one's being.
Couple of recent examples (2009):
Eye-dazzling flash of diamond-white Light of almost unbearable force-intensity ejected me from my mortal body and plunged me into Clear Black Light's brilliance (not first time) ...during this time outside of time as we know it, I heard my breath's deep exhalation.
&
A Vision of Beloved's perfect Form clothed in Light's brilliance with brighter, diamond-white Light emanating from His mid-body....before morphing into Light-clothed Woman. . .
The Great Star of Liberation in its Yin/Yang aspects.

Will close this entry by saying what authentically enlightened mystic declares in her/his own words the same assertion, no matter the tradition:
The Halls of the Highest Mystical Knowledge
Reside in the Living Libraries
Within the Immortal/God-Realized Souls. . .
Those who merge with this Light of all Lights,
Bear witness to this by presenting the
subtlety of Meaning couched within the authentic spiritual Experience.
Those of us who 'know better', remind the spiritual seeker: "Beware of an exaggerated ambition, pride or vanity trying to seize on spiritual force or experience and turn it to one's glorification ending in megalomania - an unbalanced vital and weak nervous system apt to follow its own imaginations without any true mental will or strong mental will to steady or restarin it." - Sri Aurobindo.
