<All kinds of energies have their corresponding frequencies. What once felt like a harsh, electric wire pitch-sound inside my brain, after many, many (Kundalini) karma burning 'rushes', the frequencies of my flesh / subtle / causal bodies, changed drastically.
Now, their constant, extremely subtle, crystal-like frequency spin I hear within, as well as outside / around my body.
We call this "energy field" , or "aura"... It's frequencies are visible to my eyes of flesh and spiritualized consciousness. If I didn't see the uncreated Light within my aura-field and didn't feel in every fiber of my being its Influence, I wouldn't be writing about this.
I don't know exactly how many years ago - more than 10ish? - I got another (one of many) Cosmic Initiations, whose sudden appearance woke me out of deep sleep.
It lasted several seconds but felt like eternity. . .
Description of what that particular Initiation felt like: I was on my back, when suddenly my body was seized by a loud high-note frequency felt in every fiber of my being. . . For several seconds I, and my flesh-body disappeared and there was just this Sound.
And what exactly is this Sound?
Even though various people had different names for it, its essence is understood as the primordial sound of the Divine.
<><><>
Structures of consciousness includes the flesh/material, psycho-emotional, our mental body, as well as bliss body - this is why, at the zenith-point of Soul evolution the unification of individuals Light body and the Universal I AM and its Essence/Bliss is complete. With this step permanent Samadhi is achieved.
In Aurobindo's words, verification on what we mean when we say 'Divine Bliss'.
The general power of Delight is love and special mould which the joy of love takes its vision and beauty. The God-lover has seized on his heart, it is the decisive sign that he has taken possession that gives it at once the acme and the largest reach of its intensity. It is the foundation of oneness in ecstasy. + A transcendent Bliss, unimaginable and inexpressible by the mind and speech, is the nature of the Ineffable. That broods immanent and secret in the whole universe and in everything in the universe. Its presence is described as a secret ether of the bliss being, of which the Scripture says that, if this were not, none could for a moment breathe or live. And this spiritual bliss is here also in our hearts. (skip)
Thus universalised, personalised, raised to its intensities, made all-occupying, all-embracing, all-fulfilling, the way of love and delight gives the supreme liberation. Its highest crest is a supracosmic union. But for love complete union is mukti; liberation has to it no other sense; and it includes all kinds of mukti together, nor are they in the end, as some would have the absolute union of the divine with the human spirit, sayujya; (Soul) in that reveals itself a content and mutual presence, sampya, salokya, ananda of mutual refection, the thing that we call likeness, sadrsya, and other wonderful things too for which language has yet no name.

I goggled "shabd" and jutted down few notes from wikipedia:
"Shabd is the Sound Current vibrating in all creation. It can be heard by the inner ears. Variously referred to as the Audible Life Stream, Inner Sound, Sound Current or Word
in English, the Shabd is the esoteric essence of God which is available to all human beings."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabd - Other Faiths and Philosophies (section).
And this interesting bit by Sufi mystic:
"To Ibn Arabi, every prophet corresponds to a reality which he called a Logos, as an aspect of the unique Divine Being. In his view the Divine Being would have for ever remained hidden, had it not been for the prophets, with Logos providing the link between man and divinity.
(...) For Ibn Arabi, the Logos or "Universal Man" was a mediating link between individual human beings and the divine essence."
From: 'Use in Suffism' section:
"The Stoic philosophers identified the term (Logos) with the divine animating principle pervading the universe."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos#Philo_of_Alexandria
*
I realized I am Shabd Yoga master because I don't just Hear but See and Feel this Bliss-Essence (underlying manifest existence). I named it "Crystal Rain" because it is exactly what it looks like to me. Divine Essence looks exactly like falling rain, but it's texture is crystal-like, not 'wet'. I saw this Energy (first time) while sitting in a shade outside on a very bright-sunny afternoon many years ago. I stared at it for a while without blinking - thinking if I do, it may vanish. But it didn't and I marveled.
* Edit-added 06/10/2017
I am happy to say I can include Sant Kripal as my community of the adequate person. I chanced upon some quotes which mentions 'Krishna's flute' - which confirms my experience of listening to most enchanting flute melody. . . (I described hearing with my right ear sweet sounding flute-like 'signals', whose frequency is the carrier of the most loving 'messages'. Then there are those with left ear perceived 'signals', whose intent-message is always very negative - and I always brace myself for encounter with very hostile thought forms 'sent' by someone who gets triggered negatively by what I share).
"The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same Sound allegorically explained. This sound is the source of all revelation to the Masters to whom It is revealed from within and it is, therefore, that they know and teach the one and the same Truth. The knower of this mystery of the Sound knows the mystery of the whole Universe. Whosoever has followed the strains of this Sound has forgotten all earthly distinctions and differences; and has reached the same goal of Truth in which the Blessed Ones of God unite."
"This Sound develops through ten different aspects because of Its manifestation through the different tubes of the body (Nadis); it sounds like thunder, the roaring of the sea, the twittering sparrows, the jingling of bells, running water, the buzzing of bees, the twittering of sparrows, the Vina, the whistle, or the sound of Shankha (Conch) until it finally becomes Hu the most sacred of all sounds. This Sound Hu is the beginning and end of all sounds, be they from man, bird, beast, or thing."
"From the above it is sufficiently clear that all Master-souls, whether Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and countless others, were conversant with the practice of the Word, though they did not necessarily expound it as a regular science. Most of them tell of Anhad Shabd only, leading up to Und and Brahmand or subtle and cosmic regions. But perfect saints, irrespective of whether they belonged to one religion or the other, have gone even beyond this and have spoken of Sar Shabd and Sat Shabd as well, and of regions beyond Brahman (Par-Brahman, i.e., Sach Khand, Alakh and Agan Deshas).

Supermind / Supramental Consciousness
I did say below I wanted to find out what "exactly" Sri Aurobindo thought the Supermind is, but first this. . .
Earlier today, while still in Deep Samadhi , a vivid Vision of a Face directly before my face. . . This Beautiful Face of pure Gold radiance (lashes and all) shyly peering between open fingers of very much flesh-like looking hand.
Today I chanced upon a passage from Isha Upanishads, which gave me a "this is synchronicity 101", pause (because of what I described in my opening paragraph).
The face of truth hidden by a golden lid;
that remove, O fostering Sun, for the law of the Truth, for sight.
O Sun, O sole Seer, Marshal thy rays, gather them together --
let me see of thy happiest form of all,
that Conscious Being everywhere,
He am I.
& & &
"All the life and action and leading of the Supermind is guarded in its very nature from the falsehood and uncertainties that are our lot; it moves in safety towards its perfection. Once the truth-consciousness was established here on its own foundation, the evolution of divine life would be a progress in felicity, a march through light to Ananda.
Supermind is an eternal reality of the divine Being and the divine Nature.
In its own plane it already and always exists and possesses its own essential law of being; it has not to be created or to emerge or evolve into existence out of involution in Matter or out of non-existence, as it might seem to the view of mind which itself seems to its own view to have so emerged from life and Matter or to have evolved out of an involution in life and Matter.
The nature of Supermind is always the same, a being of knowledge, proceeding from truth to truth, creating or rather manifesting what has to be manifested by the power of a prexistent knowlege, not by hazard but by a self-existent destiny in the being itself, a necessity of the thing in itself and therefore inevitable. Its manifestation of the divine life will also be inevitable; its own life on its own plane is divine and, if Supermind descends upon earth it will bring necessarily the divine life with it and established it here.
Supermind is the grade of existence beyond mind, life and Matter and, as mind, life and Matter have manifested on the earth, so too must Supermind in the inevitable course of things manifest in this world of Matter..
In fact, a supermind is already here but it is involved, concealed behind this manifest mind, life and Matter and not yet acting overtly or in its own power: if it acts, it is through these inferior powers and modified by their characters and so not yet recognizable. . ." . quoted with permission from Alan Kazlev's website called 'Kheper'.
&
It's been circa 50 years (I think) since his so-called death, yet I'm convinced that his stream of Consciousness has guided me to his Work because I didn't have any intention of looking at his work. I was aware of him and his work, but also heard he was a 'spiritual giant' and stayed clear of him. Then one day out of curiosity I began reading here and there, and once I wrapped my mind around this new language/ terminology, I thought "I already know this, because it happened to me!". How uncanny!

Living Truth Has the Last Word
Even though Reality appears different in different states of consciousness, at its 'summit' all states fall away. Meantime, it's fun to gab and scribble about its 'spectrum' -- as long as those who are not yet 'Realized' don't insist their version of 'truth' is the right one -- for in the end, the Living Truth must have the last word.
I quoted the following already (I'm sure) from The Flame Of Love - A Theology Of The Holy Spirit, penned by Clark H. Pinncok, but will again for the purpose of cross-referencing with what Sri Aurobindo said in The Mind of Light to see how although the spiritual orientation is different, in the end both philosophies word-point to the same 'truth'.
"God is present to us in creation, and the world is a natural sacrament. We meet Spirit in moments of joy and sadness, hope and yearning, suffering and struggle.
Spirit is in at work in the world and not "an ornament of piety." Our experience has the potential to mediate his presents. Spirit is "the mobile, pure, people-loving Spirit who prevedes every wretched corner, wailing at the waste, relaesing power that enables fresh start.
Her energy quickens the earth to life, her beauty shines in the stars, her strength breaks forth in every fragment of shalom and renewal that transpires in arenas of violence and meaningless."
(quote from "Johnson She Who Is p.213.)
The phrase "in arenas of violence and meaningless" is important. Spirit is not only everywhere present but everywhere up against the human negation of God.
The world does not know or receive the Spirit (Jn 14:17). There are powers of resistance with whom the Spirit is locked in mortal combat. Spirit is present in the struggle to make creatures whole, giving hope to the hopeless and working at reconciliation to bring about newness.
Spirit renews the face of the ground and works to restore brokenness, For when sin abounds, the Spirit's grace does much more abound.
Second, Creator Spirit keeps the link between creation and redemption open and alive.
Theology has the unfortunate habit of drawing a line between creation and redemption, distinguishing them too sharply. This looses sight of of the truth that redemption is a restoration of creation, not its denial. . . ."
"Let us stop demoting the Spirit, relegating him to spheres of church and piety. His role in creation is foundational to these other activities. The whole creation is home to the Spirit's operations, and the cosmic fruits issue in new creation The Spirit is the perfecter of the works of God in creation."
Aurobindo's The Mind of Light was published in 1953 . . . He didn't witness the Berlin wall collapse, didn't witness the other political changes on the world-stage. Slowly and surely the changes come . . .
Hell, my (Polish) father was arrested for buying a pig to feed his skinny brood of 6 which he purchased from a farmer directly -- which was against the communist law. Had Sri lived longer, would he sound more optimistic about the "descent" of Supermind? The following is one of the more 'up beat' passages.
"It should be noted, however, that even at the bottom of the involutionary descent, in the blind eclipse of consciousness in Matter, in every field of the working of the Inconscient there are signs of the labour of an infallible force, the drive of a secret consciousness and its promptings, as if the Inconscient itself were secretly informed or impelled by a Power with a direct and absolute knowledge; its acts of creation are infinitely surer than the workings of our human consciousness at its best or the normal workings of the Life-power."

Divine, You Report From the Divine
"Divine, you report from the Divine" - this is what popped into my awareness in deep samadhi this AM hour (deep sleep state).
Then, a Vision of white bird's descent towards me. * In Christian mystical literature 'white bird' (dove) symbolizes Holy Spirit.
Plus, a man holding up two torches ablaze with white Light.
Different scenarios, same theme. . .Holy Spirit (or Divine Shakti-light) is speaking to me. At the risk of sounding like a lunatic, I am glad to report that Cosmic synchronicity is orchestrated, or enacted, by the awakened Soul. I didn't ask for any of it.
I know that authentic saints and mystics also 'reported from the Divine'. . .These folks became my community of the adequate...and I check my Depth's data contemplative conclusions with theirs.
Like them, I had no saying in 'what happens next'. Like my beautiful peers, I realized this happened to me because I not only surrendered too, but responded to its Calling. I also know that the energy of gratitude plays a key role in receiving spiritual Blessings.
One of the most compelling mystical experiences was the one where I found myself 'standing on the top rung of the ladder' . . .Many years after that Initiation, I chanced upon Aurobindo's spiritual partner Mira's talk (confirmation) on "Consciousness is like a ladder" (aeongroup.com)
Quote: (Consciousness is like a ladder) "at each great epoch there has been extraordinary being capable of adding one more step to the ladder and reaching a place where the ordinary consciousness has never been. . .one more step to the ladder and reaching the Highest and at the same time connecting the top to the bottom. . .joining the Spiritual and the Material is the whole secret of realisation, and that is the work of the Avatar..."
* I think of myself as Humanity's Servant.
Brief recap / description of what happened in deep sleep state (Soul's awareness doesn't 'sleep'). Time-frame circa 98'.
I was on my back. . . when I looked down I beheld two (very) white moon slivers. Then I looked up and witnessed sky's star-studded canopy rush over to one side. Next, I'm looking at a Sun, and am aware I don't need to squint because of its brightness. I "knew" I was standing on the topmost rung of the ladder, and knew that a "smart man" was standing next to it (my inner Beloved). Next, my attention focused on a group of 'uncouth men'. . .One man began speaking to me. I really tried to hear his words, but heard only garble. I heard garble, but his 'pleading' body language spoke volumes. When I looked up again, a sudden movement on Sun's right startled me. In full bliss-mode now I watch white Dove's rapid descent towards me. I closed my eyes . . . from my chest ripples of the most blessed energy spread throughout my entire being. Tears of deep gratitude. . .I knew I would never turn away from suffering.
*
In: The Mind Divine, Sri Aurobindo in chapter on Supermind and Humanity, writes:
Mind, as we know it, has a power of consciousness quite distinct from Supermind, no longer a power devolved from it, connected with it and dependent upon it, but practically divorced from its luminous origin, is marked by several characteristics which we conceive to be the very signs of its nature: but some of these belong to Supermind also and the difference is in the way and scope of their action, not in their stuff or in their principle.
The difference is that mind is not a power of whole knowledge and only when it begins to pass beyond itself, a power of direct knowledge: it receives rays of the truth but does not live in the sun: it sees as through glasses and its knowledge is coloured by its instruments, it cannot see with the naked eyes or look straight at the sun. It is not possible for mind to take its stand in the solar centre or anywhere in the radiant body or even on the shining circumstance of the orb of perfect truth and acquire or share in its privilege of the infallible or absolute knowledge. It would be only if it had already drawn near to the light of Supermind that it could live anywhere near this sun in the full splendour of its rays, in something of the full and direct blaze of Truth and the narrow beginnings of a pure insight, a direct vision and it would take long for it, even surpassing itself, to reach to an imitative and fragmentary reflection of a dream of the limited omniscience and omnipotence which is the privilege od a delegated divinity, of the god, of a demigure...
My March 30/09 post titled Solar Heart Initiation, describes Soul-level experience. Somewhere else I talk about my 94-5 'thundering combustion experience' (etc)...These are examples of what happens at the zenith-point of one's Soul evolution. Such experiences bear witness to the fact that the micro/macro are entangled and can be experienced directly.
I will forever be grateful to Aurobindo for describing 'mechanism of descent' - which I second!
The Descent of Peace (Sat) the descent of Force of Power (Chit) the descent of Ananda, these are the things that transform nature. It is not really the plane that descends, it is the Power and Truth of it that descends into the material and the veil between the material and it no longer exists.

The River of Light
Introductory Note
Because the theme-subject of the 'highest integration and fulfillment' is very complex, each post unpacks but a portion of what happens on the Path without a map. . . It is intensly complex, because it includes accounts of direct contacts with and direct experience of the Kosmic Essence-Energy and its Forces, direct contact/mind-melt with with the Kosmic Mind and first-hand perception of all domains of existence.
This (edit-added) opening statement includes quotes from the Tibetan Buddhism perspective, and Sri Aurobindo's statement on transformation/what needs to happen before one is ready for the Ultimate Erotic Union with the Supreme Beloved.
Will start by saying that only very recently I noticed in The Tibetan Book of the Dead (translated by Robert A.F. Thurman), that my experience of becoming/flowing out of my Crown chakra as
'River of Light', falls into the highest of the perfection stages, category. The following excerpt is from the Glossary section:
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.
In one of my more recent posts titled: Second Coming, written in 2018, I wrote:
"The state of being as limited being has ended for me and now I belong to the Glory in which I dwell as a function of the Divine in service to the Divine (and beings in all dimensions of creation)."
Both very different statements but their core meaning is identical (to me).
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2018/09/second-coming.html
In Aurobindo's (confirming) words 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 insistence, a will in it for its separate law of action to be completely annulled by transformation and lose all rights over our being.
Exactly
Long time ago - long before I saw this statement - in one of my posts unpacking 'Cosmic Tonglen Duty', I said something like: 'Strictly speaking my body doesn't belong to me any more'.
*Edit-adding: I searched and found that I wrote those words in The Bliss of Identity - written in 2013.
***
Today, (May 2010) I came home with library-borrowed the only Aurobindo book available in this library system titled, The Mind of Light. To this day each time I read something penned by him, I am surprised. . .For years I thought this man's work was way beyond my league, and wasn't even curious to see what his writing is about. This mindset changed when I allowed myself to get curious (the year I began writing here -2009). Not initially, but once my brain got used to all those new terminologies, I discovered that: "I already know this, because this happened to me!"
I didn't know anyone who was experiencing and writing (internet forums) about the things I did (and claimed nothing), this is it was exciting to finally have Sri A writing - because it became really important for me to check/compare my Soul level mystical/supramental Events, with someone who got plugged to the same Kosmic address -- the domain of: 'I am absorbed in Celestial Samadhi lovingly attached to the Essence of the Supreme Beloved' (as well as all beings in the visible and invisible domains of creation).
This Kosmic address is reached when one is in permanent Samadhi state and the nervous/chakra system uncoils to infinity (thanks to awakened activity of Kundalini Shakti).
He confirmed this for me this, is why I named Aurobindo my 'primary peer review person' (even before I read his autobiographical poems The Bliss of Brahman and The Bride of the Fire).
I also resonate with Gopi Krishna's work. Long before I became somewhat familiar with his work, I already knew that my mystical experiences were not the result of subconscious mind's dive into hallucinatory wish-fulfilling formations.
The following excerpt is from Krishna's book titled: The Real Nature of Mystical Experience.
In every case of illumination, mere visionary experience is not sufficient. It must be attended by certain objective signs to confirm it.
It has to be remembered that in the mystical ecstasy the intellect remains active. There is no blunting of the rational faculty. This is repeatedly mentioned in the Upanishads. Reason has to be satisfied that the experience is not delusion.
***
(2010) Today I am bearing witness to what transpired this AM hour during Yogic/Deep Samadhi state which transcends sleep. . .
I was on my back with hands resting on mid-body. When my Bliss body's ecstasy has reached the critical mass-point, I beheld with the eye of contemplation (Spirit) a vast sea of diamond-white points of light morph into a 'solid' River of Light . . .and its endless' flow (sublimated Erotic Potency/Shakti Light) out of my Crown chakra into the world's hologram via subtle planes.
Words can describe what happens, but they can never convey the full extent of what this type of experience/event is like - including its impact on all dimensions of creation. . .
The Rig Veda seer didn't apologize for he/she received (God-Realization/Divine Revelation) and neither do I, because I know I earned it by fully submitting myself to the Supreme Divine. . .and then performing the Will of the Supreme Being:
By the Truth they (we) hold the Truth that holds all,
in the power of the Sacrifice, in the supreme other.
- Rig Veda V.80.4
To reach this Kosmic station one must be in permanent Samadhi state. During the 11 to 13 hours I spend in bed each day -- in a state of extremely intense Erotic ravishment-activity -- I am completely detached from 'feelings' because I am in a state of Peace that passes human comprehension....Well, except for those very rare occasions when I return to my body abruptly and feelings get involved.
Soul level Liberation is not well understood, this is why I have a moral obligation to write about it (by giving precise accounts of what happens on this Path during the myriad of Initiatory experiences).
One who feels the Divine Presence and its governing Power manifesting through the body, understands perfectly its Nature as well as its action-influence in all domains of creation.
We also understand what the term: 'I have crossed the abode of life and death', signifies.
Those who submitted to Divine Will know, that at this stage-point in Soul evolution we are performing the Will of the one Spirit in order to. . .
... effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. + It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine-Ananda Christ's Kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon earth.
- Sri Aurobindo
I am glad I read that the Upanishad lists ten ascending levels of bliss before one reaches the the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit -- the Supreme Sachichidananda (which is above Supermind) -- "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the proceeding level".
I share my Depth data's revelations just like any other (ascended) Soul has done - no matter the tradition. We demonstrate that this (evolutionary) Great Cosmic Power (Holy Spirit/Supreme Shakti) flows into the world of Form for the benefit of all beings in all realms of existence, for the benefit of evolution of consciousness itself.
The Bhagavad Gita says that 'finding supreme ecstasy is the final goal'. I learned that basking in Blissananda, is not the final goal. One whose Soul has fulfilled her ancient plan, knows that the Final goal is Divine Labor. . .The hardest job on the planet because we don't get 'time out'.
***
My gratitude to the author of The Mind of Light, Sri Aurobindo, is immense - it is my pleasure to include couple of quotes from chapter titled, The Divine Body.
"The new type, the divine body, must continue the already developed evolutionary form: there must be a continuation from the type Nature has all along been developing, a continuity from the human to the divine body, not breaking away to something unrecognizable but a high sequel to what has already been achieved and in part perfected. The human body has in its parts and instruments that have been sufficiently evolved to serve the divine life; these have to survive in their form, though they must be still perfected, their limitations of range and use removed, their liability to defect and malady and impairment eliminated, their capacities of cognition and dynamic action carried beyond present limits.
New powers have to be acquired by the body which our present humanity could not hope to realize, could not even dream of or could only imagine.
Much that can now be known, worked our or created by the use of invented tools and machinery might be achieved by the new body in its own power or by the inhabitant spirit through its own direct spiritual force.
The body itself might acquire new means and ranges of communication with other bodies, new processes of acquiring knowledge, a new aestesis, new potency's of manipulation of itself and objects...
These and other numerous potentialities might appear and the body become an instrument immeasurably superior to what we can now imagine as possible. There could be an evolution from a first apprehending truth-consciousness to the utmost heights of the ascending ranges of supermind and it may pass borders of the supermind proper itself where it begins to shadow out, develop, delineate expressive forms of life touched by a supreme pure existence, consciousness and bliss which constituted the worlds of highest truth of existence, dynamism of Tapas, glory and sweetness of bliss, the absolute essence and pitch of all the all-creating Ananda.
The transformation of the physical being might follow the incessant line of progression and the divine body reflect or reproduce here in the divine life on the earth something of this highest greatness and glory of the self-manifesting Spirit".
Because the theme-subject of the 'highest integration and fulfillment' is very complex, each post unpacks but a portion of what happens on the Path without a map. . . It is intensly complex, because it includes accounts of direct contacts with and direct experience of the Kosmic Essence-Energy and its Forces, direct contact/mind-melt with with the Kosmic Mind and first-hand perception of all domains of existence.
This (edit-added) opening statement includes quotes from the Tibetan Buddhism perspective, and Sri Aurobindo's statement on transformation/what needs to happen before one is ready for the Ultimate Erotic Union with the Supreme Beloved.
Will start by saying that only very recently I noticed in The Tibetan Book of the Dead (translated by Robert A.F. Thurman), that my experience of becoming/flowing out of my Crown chakra as
'River of Light', falls into the highest of the perfection stages, category. The following excerpt is from the Glossary section:
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.
In one of my more recent posts titled: Second Coming, written in 2018, I wrote:
"The state of being as limited being has ended for me and now I belong to the Glory in which I dwell as a function of the Divine in service to the Divine (and beings in all dimensions of creation)."
Both very different statements but their core meaning is identical (to me).
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2018/09/second-coming.html
In Aurobindo's (confirming) words 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 insistence, a will in it for its separate law of action to be completely annulled by transformation and lose all rights over our being.
Exactly
Long time ago - long before I saw this statement - in one of my posts unpacking 'Cosmic Tonglen Duty', I said something like: 'Strictly speaking my body doesn't belong to me any more'.
*Edit-adding: I searched and found that I wrote those words in The Bliss of Identity - written in 2013.
***
Today, (May 2010) I came home with library-borrowed the only Aurobindo book available in this library system titled, The Mind of Light. To this day each time I read something penned by him, I am surprised. . .For years I thought this man's work was way beyond my league, and wasn't even curious to see what his writing is about. This mindset changed when I allowed myself to get curious (the year I began writing here -2009). Not initially, but once my brain got used to all those new terminologies, I discovered that: "I already know this, because this happened to me!"
I didn't know anyone who was experiencing and writing (internet forums) about the things I did (and claimed nothing), this is it was exciting to finally have Sri A writing - because it became really important for me to check/compare my Soul level mystical/supramental Events, with someone who got plugged to the same Kosmic address -- the domain of: 'I am absorbed in Celestial Samadhi lovingly attached to the Essence of the Supreme Beloved' (as well as all beings in the visible and invisible domains of creation).
This Kosmic address is reached when one is in permanent Samadhi state and the nervous/chakra system uncoils to infinity (thanks to awakened activity of Kundalini Shakti).
He confirmed this for me this, is why I named Aurobindo my 'primary peer review person' (even before I read his autobiographical poems The Bliss of Brahman and The Bride of the Fire).
I also resonate with Gopi Krishna's work. Long before I became somewhat familiar with his work, I already knew that my mystical experiences were not the result of subconscious mind's dive into hallucinatory wish-fulfilling formations.
The following excerpt is from Krishna's book titled: The Real Nature of Mystical Experience.
In every case of illumination, mere visionary experience is not sufficient. It must be attended by certain objective signs to confirm it.
It has to be remembered that in the mystical ecstasy the intellect remains active. There is no blunting of the rational faculty. This is repeatedly mentioned in the Upanishads. Reason has to be satisfied that the experience is not delusion.
***
(2010) Today I am bearing witness to what transpired this AM hour during Yogic/Deep Samadhi state which transcends sleep. . .
I was on my back with hands resting on mid-body. When my Bliss body's ecstasy has reached the critical mass-point, I beheld with the eye of contemplation (Spirit) a vast sea of diamond-white points of light morph into a 'solid' River of Light . . .and its endless' flow (sublimated Erotic Potency/Shakti Light) out of my Crown chakra into the world's hologram via subtle planes.
Words can describe what happens, but they can never convey the full extent of what this type of experience/event is like - including its impact on all dimensions of creation. . .
The Rig Veda seer didn't apologize for he/she received (God-Realization/Divine Revelation) and neither do I, because I know I earned it by fully submitting myself to the Supreme Divine. . .and then performing the Will of the Supreme Being:
By the Truth they (we) hold the Truth that holds all,
in the power of the Sacrifice, in the supreme other.
- Rig Veda V.80.4
To reach this Kosmic station one must be in permanent Samadhi state. During the 11 to 13 hours I spend in bed each day -- in a state of extremely intense Erotic ravishment-activity -- I am completely detached from 'feelings' because I am in a state of Peace that passes human comprehension....Well, except for those very rare occasions when I return to my body abruptly and feelings get involved.
Soul level Liberation is not well understood, this is why I have a moral obligation to write about it (by giving precise accounts of what happens on this Path during the myriad of Initiatory experiences).
One who feels the Divine Presence and its governing Power manifesting through the body, understands perfectly its Nature as well as its action-influence in all domains of creation.
We also understand what the term: 'I have crossed the abode of life and death', signifies.
Those who submitted to Divine Will know, that at this stage-point in Soul evolution we are performing the Will of the one Spirit in order to. . .
... effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. + It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine-Ananda Christ's Kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon earth.
- Sri Aurobindo
I am glad I read that the Upanishad lists ten ascending levels of bliss before one reaches the the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit -- the Supreme Sachichidananda (which is above Supermind) -- "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the proceeding level".
I share my Depth data's revelations just like any other (ascended) Soul has done - no matter the tradition. We demonstrate that this (evolutionary) Great Cosmic Power (Holy Spirit/Supreme Shakti) flows into the world of Form for the benefit of all beings in all realms of existence, for the benefit of evolution of consciousness itself.
The Bhagavad Gita says that 'finding supreme ecstasy is the final goal'. I learned that basking in Blissananda, is not the final goal. One whose Soul has fulfilled her ancient plan, knows that the Final goal is Divine Labor. . .The hardest job on the planet because we don't get 'time out'.
***
My gratitude to the author of The Mind of Light, Sri Aurobindo, is immense - it is my pleasure to include couple of quotes from chapter titled, The Divine Body.
"The new type, the divine body, must continue the already developed evolutionary form: there must be a continuation from the type Nature has all along been developing, a continuity from the human to the divine body, not breaking away to something unrecognizable but a high sequel to what has already been achieved and in part perfected. The human body has in its parts and instruments that have been sufficiently evolved to serve the divine life; these have to survive in their form, though they must be still perfected, their limitations of range and use removed, their liability to defect and malady and impairment eliminated, their capacities of cognition and dynamic action carried beyond present limits.
New powers have to be acquired by the body which our present humanity could not hope to realize, could not even dream of or could only imagine.
Much that can now be known, worked our or created by the use of invented tools and machinery might be achieved by the new body in its own power or by the inhabitant spirit through its own direct spiritual force.
The body itself might acquire new means and ranges of communication with other bodies, new processes of acquiring knowledge, a new aestesis, new potency's of manipulation of itself and objects...
These and other numerous potentialities might appear and the body become an instrument immeasurably superior to what we can now imagine as possible. There could be an evolution from a first apprehending truth-consciousness to the utmost heights of the ascending ranges of supermind and it may pass borders of the supermind proper itself where it begins to shadow out, develop, delineate expressive forms of life touched by a supreme pure existence, consciousness and bliss which constituted the worlds of highest truth of existence, dynamism of Tapas, glory and sweetness of bliss, the absolute essence and pitch of all the all-creating Ananda.
The transformation of the physical being might follow the incessant line of progression and the divine body reflect or reproduce here in the divine life on the earth something of this highest greatness and glory of the self-manifesting Spirit".

The Aim of Supramental Yoga is . . .
There is a big difference between knowledge by description and knowledge by acquaintance. This is why no matter how high-profile and alluring someones spiritual language is, if it's not backed by (Depth) mystical data, one can assume the alluring words are not' but a translation of what somebody else said.
The onus is on those who make wild claims to provide scientific evidence to support them - not others - this is why to the best of my ability I describe what introduced itself to the eye of contemplation and all of my senses.
By the time (unsolicited) Kundalini Shakti began her cosmic makeover on me my heart chakra was broken open. Even in my childhood I saw human suffering and it pained me.
Soul science can prove the existence of God / Divine - because beyond the laws of the personal I, exists a Crystal Clear Space where everything is revealed to ones awakened eternal self-Soul's consciousness.
Not the surface personality, but the Soul / the She who lives independently of the mind and its constantly changing emotional states discovers: I am not merely like God. . .I have the exact same (substance) Essence as the Absolute / Divine.
The Truth of this extremely subtle nature is accessible by means of Samadhi. Permanent Samadhi state is reached after the Divine presence within (via Crown chakra) is merged with the Great Cosmic Power-Bliss. I'm glad I'm not the only one who asserts:
Only the Divine can Initiate one into full Knowledge.
As far as I'm concerned everyone has the right to their opinion no matter how absurd - but no one has the right to their own facts. It is very important to me to fact-check my work with the work of the community of the adequate. I named Aurobindo as my primary communal affirmation person.
(I discovered his work long after my Soul journey through Light - Sound - Sight began, and
claimed/asserted nothing until I discovered his work).
Today I'm including excerpt from: The Life Divine - in Sri Aurobindo's words from wikipedia.org.
This then must be the nature of the third and final transformation which finishes the passage of the soul through the Ignorance and bases its consciousness, its life, its power and form of manifestation on a completely effective self-knowledge. The Truth-Consciousness, finding evolutionary Nature has to descend into her and enable her to liberate the supramental principle within her, so must be created the supramental and spiritual being as the first unveiled manifestation of the truth of the Self and Spirit in the material universe.
The change that is effected by the transition from mind to supermind is not only a revolution in knowledge or in our power for knowledge. If it is (to) be complete and stable, it must be a divine transmutation of our will too, our emotions, our sensations, all our power of life and its forces, in the end even of the very substance and functioning of our body. Then only it be said that the supermind is there upon earth, rooted in its very earth-substance and embodied in a new race of divinised creatures.
My mystical experiences bear witness to this. . . for the benefit of all life, for the benefit of sentient beings and the Great Consciousness looking out through the eyes of every being.

The other day I opened the front door to let Spring sun's warmth and air flow in. After a while I glanced outside and noticed it was raining ' very fast' - and my laundry was drying outside! My first instinct was to run out and grab the almost dry stuff, but stopped myself in mid-step because I realized it was still sunny!
Not first time I saw in bright of day this type of crystal-like energy raining down upon the earth.

Enlightenment is not What You Think / Aurobindo
Beholding the higher Light beyond darkness we came to the divine Sun in the Godhead, to the highest Light of all.
-Rig Veda
First time this day I chanced upon Sri Aurobindo's words from The Life Divine, echoing what I-awakened Soul mean exactly, when I say that True enlightenment is not what one thinks it is . . .
"THE psychic transformation and the first stages of the spiritual transformation are well within our conception; their perfection would be the perfection, wholeness, consummated unity of a knowledge and experience which is already part of things realised, though only by small number of human beings. But the Supramental change in its process carries us into less explored regions; it initiates a vision of heights of consciousness which have indeed been glimpsed and visited, but have yet to be discovered and mapped out in their completeness. The highest of these peaks or elevated plateaus of consciousness, the supramental, lies far beyond the possibility of any satisfying mental scheme or map of it or any grasp of mental seeing and description. It would be difficult for the normal unillumined or untransformed mental conception to express or enter into something that is based on so different a consciousness with a radically different awareness of things; even if they were seen or conceived by some enlightenment or opening of vision, another language than the poor abstract counters used by by our mind would be needed to translate them into terms by which their reality could become at all sizable by us.
As the summits of human mind are beyond animal perception, so the movements of Supermind are beyond the ordinary human mental conception: it is only when we have already had experience of a higher intermediate consciousness that any term attempting to describe supramental being could convey a true meaning to our intelligence; for then, having experienced something akin to what is described, we could translate an inadequate language into a figure of what we knew.
If the mind cannot enter into the nature of Supermind, it can look towards it through these high and luminous approaches and catch some reflected impression of the Truth, the Right, the Vast which is the native kingdom of the free Spirit."
but . . .
"But even what can be said about the intermediate consciousness can be hazarded which may serve for an initial light of guidance"
<><><>
I still don't know -- from what I read so far -- if Aurobindo actually knew about the 24/7 'Cosmic Tonglen Duty' (my energy work).
Aurobindo presented himself to me a couple of times in the last couple of years . . And, maybe it was he who held my hand when I wept hard the other morning (without waking up). . .felt good to feel the essence of pure love.
This day's sweet "I lovu" / "don't worry"/ "we work together".

There is Nothing That is Not God
In Sally Kempton words::::
You are God. Radically non-dual. This utterly free divine awareness manifests this universe inside herself. Consciousness is manifesting itself as you, inside your mind, inside your awareness through your actions, through your process of perception.
Your mind stuff is the same awareness that creates anything.
I'm sure many truly 'get' that without having a 'fundamentalist' fit . . .
I also get why some who belive that so much that, in the name of the Mighty Dollar present themselves as That. Some don't mind forking over $1,000 (american) for a day of fu'k with the "Goddess" (as per my 17th blog) who "insists" they will come crawling back for more.
In the same manner, the spiritually gullible for years and years, forked over their wives , all their money and labour in surrender to God incarnate Franklin Jones as "gifts" to demonstrate their detachment. Franklin proclaimed himself as the last "Avatar" (Saviour.)
&&&&&
Now, (for the record) from the perspective of one who is plugged-in I want to show what it's like to experience directly That. . .
This dawn, twice, and for the longest time, I was bliss-basking in -- (was directly face-to-face with) the SUN a couple of feet distance initially, followed by a complete Mind-melt.
I think some may have called it "Shambhala Sun" . I have called it the "Second Sun" in the past.
There was a time I wondered what the apperance of the SUN meant when my head "lit up like the sun" in the light of day (as witnessed, and in his words, by my husband) but no longer. It is the very "second coming" people of all faiths await...It is the Christ-consciousnes/God-union, within the individual. Any individual.
This 'Second Sun' belongs to everyone, just as the day time Sun does. . .
Anyone, whose priority is anchored in "surrender" to That, can and will, experience same. Belching out holy writings can't do it. . .Surrendering to the meaning within the words bears much Fruit.
(Getting mad at me or anyone else only blocks That energy flow.)
&
For a change of pace, and because I greatly appreciate True Teaching -- once again a quote, or two from The Human Buddha, penned by teacher of Enlightment Anadi (www.anaditeaching.com)
"Presence is nothing but the awakened essence of manifestation. When the manifestation is unconscious it is completly confined to how it 'appears' to be; it is purely identified with its own objectiviztion."
"Realization of the Asolute belongs to consciousness; it is the function of the manifest. The realization of the Absolute is the fifth dimension. Although we might regard presents as not being in time, for it is unceasingly present to the Now, when we go deeper into its nature we see that the touch of time is there. It might seem that Presence knows itself instanteously, but actually this recognition happens in a split second -- it is a function of a subtle time. One needs to be sensitive enough to see it. Presence is the point at which the Unmanifested touches the manifested, which is in time. When consciousness wakes up to itself, the state of Presence is realized; when the state of Presents wakes up, the Unborn is realized.
How does the Presence, which is touched by time, reach the timeless? It is a mystery.
There is a realization which encompasses the knowing of consciousness and the not-knowing of the Unmanifested: the experience of being present and the absence of presence. This realization is truly beyond all that we know.
The Absolute can be compared to the sun, while Witnessing to its rays.
The realization takes place at their meeting point; before the sun becomes its rays there is a gap where the knowing of the Absolute is born. The way to reach the Absolute is surrender. One must drop the centre of Presence into the non-centre of non-presence."

Where Your Heart is There is Also Your Treasure
I feel quite nourished, or inspired by the message I was given (while) in Deep Samadhi this Am hour, during Visitation from two Tibetan Lamas...One pointed to my eyes, said: "unflinching when faced with oppression".
Yes, my spiritual courage would run dry in a jiff, and I would burn out like a birthday candle if I wasn't plugged to my Soul's strength (because the adverse forces are hell-bent on silencing me).
The Visiting Lamas were aware (the Enlightened Mind is aware) , that once upon a time I was compelled to get down on my knees and with forehead resting on The Tibetan Book of Death - Liberation Through Understanding In The Between - penned / translated by Robert Thurman, and asked for Padma's Blessing.
I was overflowing with gratitude one day while reading Padma Sambhava's teaching and the only thing that made sense to me at that moment was to get down on my knees place the closed book on the floor. . .and with eyes closed opened the book before bowing/resting my forehead on it, and asked for Padma's Blessing . . . It seemed like time stood still and everything was fluid ... with opened eyes I beheld His (tangka image) right hand raised in a Benediction gesture.
I took this as a real sign - a sign that the Universal Mind responded to my soul's longing in the way that made sense to me. . . It felt like I received a real Blessing and wholeheartedly accepted it (with gratitude).
This kind of seemingly 'irrational' behaviour has everything to do with the Heart's intelligence and its 'passionate energy'. . .I treasure these moments.

Silver Goddess Ray
Some cry 'God is dead!' Love's Messengers (Ascended Soul) task is to claim otherwise! One whose ascended Soul unites with Godhead/Absolute Supreme Being, bears witness to what it's like to consciously come in contact with the Divine Ultimate and its Bliss-Essence/Silver Goddess Ray in all its eye dazzling silver-white Glory.
This Essence resembles the likeness of a lightning bolt but has the appearance of a 'Field'. This 'fact' gives us the authority to assert: Without its/this Influence there would be no evolution of biological organisms, no evolution of consciousness.
This Glorious Field's point of entry is possible - for one with open Crown chakra - at the zenith-point of Erotic Rapture . . . the result of an upwards flowing transmuted Erotic Potency in its highest Expression, which is even Higher than what I described in The River of Light
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html
Silver Goddess Ray signature can be named 'Kosmic DNA' since this Field's configuration makes possible for the Universal Mind to exist. It also means that the fully ascended being's Essence-Awareness is the Goddess Ray incarnate, because She is the instrument of Spirit through which She Speaks (speaks from the source of its nature).
This - my Testimony - is a literal statement-description of decades worth of experiences Kundalini Shakti style - not not a translation of something I read in some esoteric text. Experiencer of the Divine knows that:
Mind cannot go outside its cycle - all ideas of a straight line of movement or of progress reaching infinitely upwards or sidewise into the Infinite is a delusion.
In Sri Aurobindo's words - which I second.
'Goddess Ray' and its Mind-Intelligence introduced itself to my eye of Spirit countless times, this is why/how I Know that its eternal and immutable Nature is part and parcel of our Deepest Essence in all its eye-dazzling Silver Ray glory: This is also why when I say: 'This is the Communication of the Divine from the Source of its nature', I mean it literally.
In this state - which is not a 'feeling', or 'intuition', but a state of being (permanent in my case) - one becomes aware of the Immaculate Wideness to which all visible and invisible manifestation 'belongs'.
The Lie Destroyer exists in relation to the vibratory cosmos but is also beyond it . . . where alone the Silver Goddess Ray reigns . Ascended Souls use words as containers into which subtlety of meaning is poured . . . this is what authentic Divine Revelation is about.
One who I named (my) 'community of peers', Sri Aurobindo, expressed same idea by stating:
What you call thinking I never do. I see or I don't see. + If a soul of man is to go beyond humanity to reach either a supramental or still higher status, it must pass out of this cosmic existence, either to a plane or world of Bliss and knowledge or into the unmanifest Eternal and Infinite.
The materialist sees my/our Testimony, thinks it is the 'product of delusional mind' - sees my poetically framed phrase 'Silver Goddess Ray' as something "poetic", in a "mythic" or "magical thinking", sense. Doesn't mean I am going to allow their jeering and character assassinations to prevent me from speaking.
I already know that even if I shouted from roof tops that what I share is not the product of subconscious mind's dive into hallucinatory wish fulfilling appearances/formations, drug-induced 'trips', or translation of what others said. . . still it would not incline the materialist to think 'she could be right'. Maybe if I were a man it would be a different story?
*
The main reason I wanted to write today is because I want to keep track/record of the mysterious 'cosmic chant' that began several days ago in the right side of my brain hemisphere. This Initiation's ever-present activity is most vividly heard/perceived (with my right ear) when I'm in bed. Because I am not interest in jumping to conclusions with 'guesses' as to what this type of Initiation might mean, I am happy to patiently wait and see. . .
I already know that those with right ear heard sweet-sounding notes are frequency carriers of loving thoughts and intentions. . .and those with left-side perceived sound-hertz are pregnant with pure rage/hate.

1. Will mention first that, the 'cosmic chant' lasted over two years. I realized that this Sound Current Initiation *perceived with the supramental mind* is the Shabd Yoga Master 'signature' -- one out of several Grace-bestowed *undistorted* Transmissions of omipotent Knowledge in all its aspects *such as Descent of Divine/Uncreated Light, etc.*, before one gets permanently plugged to a plane of existence where She remains eternally with the fathomless depth and mystery of the Supreme Beloved. . .not as concept, but 'actually'.
2. In August 2013, I chanced upon information relevant to what I was describing in this post (with reference to perceiving 'messages' with right / left brain hemispheres) and decided to include - with permission from Mr. Sandeep - verifying passages from blog on synchronicity:
The capricious spark of intuition which is briefly flashed during occurrences of synchronicity ripens in self-realized sages into the highly refined powers (Siddhis) called 'Prakamaya' and 'Vyapati'. It is through Prakamaya that one gains knowledge of "the present states of mind, feeling, sensation etc. of others" and it is with Vyapati, that we "communicate anything we have in our systems, thought, feeling, power, etc., to another. As Sri Aurobindo explained, "every thought, feeling, sensation or other movement of consciousness in us create a wave or current which carries it out into the world-consciousness around and there it enters into a person who is able and allowed to receive it. Half at least of our habitual thoughts and feelings are such unconscious borrowings." Record of Yoga, p.20

This Essence resembles the likeness of a lightning bolt but has the appearance of a 'Field'. This 'fact' gives us the authority to assert: Without its/this Influence there would be no evolution of biological organisms, no evolution of consciousness.
This Glorious Field's point of entry is possible - for one with open Crown chakra - at the zenith-point of Erotic Rapture . . . the result of an upwards flowing transmuted Erotic Potency in its highest Expression, which is even Higher than what I described in The River of Light
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html
Silver Goddess Ray signature can be named 'Kosmic DNA' since this Field's configuration makes possible for the Universal Mind to exist. It also means that the fully ascended being's Essence-Awareness is the Goddess Ray incarnate, because She is the instrument of Spirit through which She Speaks (speaks from the source of its nature).
This - my Testimony - is a literal statement-description of decades worth of experiences Kundalini Shakti style - not not a translation of something I read in some esoteric text. Experiencer of the Divine knows that:
Mind cannot go outside its cycle - all ideas of a straight line of movement or of progress reaching infinitely upwards or sidewise into the Infinite is a delusion.
In Sri Aurobindo's words - which I second.
'Goddess Ray' and its Mind-Intelligence introduced itself to my eye of Spirit countless times, this is why/how I Know that its eternal and immutable Nature is part and parcel of our Deepest Essence in all its eye-dazzling Silver Ray glory: This is also why when I say: 'This is the Communication of the Divine from the Source of its nature', I mean it literally.
In this state - which is not a 'feeling', or 'intuition', but a state of being (permanent in my case) - one becomes aware of the Immaculate Wideness to which all visible and invisible manifestation 'belongs'.
The Lie Destroyer exists in relation to the vibratory cosmos but is also beyond it . . . where alone the Silver Goddess Ray reigns . Ascended Souls use words as containers into which subtlety of meaning is poured . . . this is what authentic Divine Revelation is about.
One who I named (my) 'community of peers', Sri Aurobindo, expressed same idea by stating:
What you call thinking I never do. I see or I don't see. + If a soul of man is to go beyond humanity to reach either a supramental or still higher status, it must pass out of this cosmic existence, either to a plane or world of Bliss and knowledge or into the unmanifest Eternal and Infinite.
The materialist sees my/our Testimony, thinks it is the 'product of delusional mind' - sees my poetically framed phrase 'Silver Goddess Ray' as something "poetic", in a "mythic" or "magical thinking", sense. Doesn't mean I am going to allow their jeering and character assassinations to prevent me from speaking.
I already know that even if I shouted from roof tops that what I share is not the product of subconscious mind's dive into hallucinatory wish fulfilling appearances/formations, drug-induced 'trips', or translation of what others said. . . still it would not incline the materialist to think 'she could be right'. Maybe if I were a man it would be a different story?
*
The main reason I wanted to write today is because I want to keep track/record of the mysterious 'cosmic chant' that began several days ago in the right side of my brain hemisphere. This Initiation's ever-present activity is most vividly heard/perceived (with my right ear) when I'm in bed. Because I am not interest in jumping to conclusions with 'guesses' as to what this type of Initiation might mean, I am happy to patiently wait and see. . .
I already know that those with right ear heard sweet-sounding notes are frequency carriers of loving thoughts and intentions. . .and those with left-side perceived sound-hertz are pregnant with pure rage/hate.

Illuminations From Beyond the Intellect
Couple of nights ago, again, my right brain hemisphere was flooded by flute-like sound despite very intense 'psychic storms' in the collective. This Sound's flute-like melody kept humming along without ceasing. During the day I am aware of it faintly - it is only when I'm in deep Samadhi, its several notes long, fluke-like Sound coming from the right side/ear becomes really audible.
I have no doubt that this Kosmic chant current is the carrier of those periodically heard 'signals' I've been hearing with either left brain hemisphere, or right.
My brain hemispheres are not divided. . .
Quick recap on the difference between the left and right side sounds.
The signals/info perceived with my left left brain hemisphere are charged with negative emotions/intentions, directed at me when someone gets negatively triggered by what I say (in cyber land). I see those thought forms in all their aggressive glory. I could say a lot more about this, but am choosing not to.
On the other hand, those sweet sounding (right side) flute-like sounds are the carriers of very loving energy-intention/information
* Edit note: 29/08/2017
In 2013 I chanced upon information about this particular type of divine siddhi ("activated in the Superconscious field of the mind" Sri Aurobindo) called Vyapati and Prakamaya (Divine siddhis) in http://auromere.wordpress.com/2010/12/sri-aurobindo-on-synchronicity/
With permission from Mr. Sandeep, including the following excerpt with deep gratitude:

Today - August 29, 2017 - I chanced upon verifying information on (Divine) Sound & Light. The following excerpts are from:
http://themotherdivine.com/10/naam-or-word-the-sound-principle.shtml
"In Yoga Sandhya, an elaborate account is given by the practice of "hearing shabd."
* I practiced nothing - must have in previous incarnations*
"In the Rig Veda and the Athan Veda there are hymns in praise of Shabd."
"A yogin ought to sit in Sidha Asan, and adopting Vaishnavi Mudra, should hear within him the "Sound" coming from the right side."
"The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same Sound allegorically explained. This Sound is the source of all revelation to the Masters to whom It is revealed from within and it is, therefore, that they know and teach the one and the same Truth."
"From the above it is sufficiently clear that all Master-souls, whether Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and countless others, were conversant with the practice of the Word, though they did not necessarily expound it as regular science.
Most of them tell of Anhad Shabd only, leading up to Und and Brahmand or the subtle and cosmic regions. But 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 of regions beyond Brahmand (Par-Brahmand, i.e., Sach Khand, Alkah and Agm Deshas)."
"You can see His Light when your inner eye is opened" & "You can hear His voice when your inner ear is opened."
The following quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surat_Shabd_Yoga
"Those who have mastered this path have finally merged with the Supreme Lord in His Absolute, Nameless and Formless State. The Creator, the Absolute, projects itself into form that assumes two primary attributes: Light and Sound.
(Shabd, Word or Naam) and Light are primal manifestations of God when he projects Himself into Creation. In His nameless state He is neither light nor darkness, neither sound nor silence, but when He assumes shape and form, Light and Sound emerge as His primary attributes.
-Kripal Singh
* Based on my experience, Kripal Singh's assertion is true, but partial.
One whose eternal self-Soul fulfills her ancient plan at the zenith-point of her evolution, unites with the Essence of the Supreme Divine Beloved...bears witness to new revelation about the nature of the Supreme Being.
It can be captured by this one phrase:
What I Am is Love and What I Have is Bliss
<><><>
And this - from: http://auromerepress.com/2009/07/vedic-vak-four-levels-of-sound/
1. Para-Vak is the highest form of sound. It issues from the Supernal Ether (para mam vyomam) where all the sound vibrations that build the various world preexist in an undifferentiated state.
2. Pashyanti is the sound vibration heard in the Causal worlds. Pashyanti in sanskrit means "seeing speech." A sage whose consciousness is concentrated in the causal body is able to "glimpse" a Truth in a vision or revelation. Knowledge is acquired in the inner mind by sight without the use of reasoning faculty or sensory data.
3. Madhyama (Middle) is the sound as perceived in the subtle or Pranic world. A good example of this would be thought-forms held in our mind.
4. Vaikhari is the lowest form of sound and it signifies outward expression. This is the spoken word emerging from our throat.
*
The above mentioned cosmic chant lasted for about 2 years - maybe longer? I'm pretty sure I mentioned when it stopped in one of my posts. Whatever it was that needed fine-tuning within my interiority, has reached its apex-point and integrated itself into my body-mind-Soul system. I hear still the constant, crystal- like / extremely subtle spinning sound vibration within and in my Universal Body (without).
In conclusion will add that, this was another type (one of many) of Initiation into Divine Mystery - which correlates with what Aurobindo wrote:
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."
P.S. In order to avoid having overly long post, I edit-removed half of it to make room for new material.
Also, it occurred to me to mention that I chose to use my (not recent) passport photo-image (profile) my son took a picture of for a very specific reason. . .
He looked at it and declared it "ruined". I looked at it, and said "it's perfect" - but didn't tell him why. I thought it was perfect, because of the 'white light' image next to my right ear -- the brain-hemisphere with which I hear/receive sweet sounding messages.
I have no doubt that this Kosmic chant current is the carrier of those periodically heard 'signals' I've been hearing with either left brain hemisphere, or right.
My brain hemispheres are not divided. . .

Why Do I Share Stories
This day in Deep Samadhi, the I who is unbounded, heard (telepathically):
"completely different line of development". . .This 'different line of development' takes place at the zenith-point of one's Soul's evolution with full awareness and trusting heart. Much of what passes for 'spirituality', is often nothing but translation of what someone learned from others (and may be misleading).
Those of us who know 'better', have a moral duty to bear witness to Depth data/Divine Revelation (which introduces itself to the awareness of one's non-biological/ascended Soul).
I know that if I was preoccupied with and wanted to feel important in others' eyes, my Soul-evolution - grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence - wouldn't happen. Many get triggered negatively by what I bear witness too, but because genuine enlightenment isn't personal, I have a duty to obey the inner call of my Vocation. I'm not a writer, still I try to the best of my ability to fulfill the duty I was entrusted with.
I surrendered long ago to the Invitation to follow my non-biological Soul's guidance, whose Essence (diamond-bright Luminosity) is visible to the eye of contemplation.
The Spiritual Scientist in me is very intrigued by how mysterious, and at the same time utterly ordinary it all feels. Ordinary, in a 'nothing special', sense, just a higher level of realization.
Some Visionary experiences strike a deep emotional chord because of the potency of their message . . .
Example: Today, a beautiful boy child placed (vertically) on my chest three precious Jewels.
I recognized the subtlety of the significance of this Vision as: 'integrated body-mind-spirit'.
The Innocent Child archetype in me trusted all along that I was "in good hands", and willingly became a focused Participant.
The Tibetan Book of The Dead - my copy translated by Robert Thurman - has the following description on "integration" in the glossary:
Sanskrit yoganaddha is the Unexcelled Yoga Tantra name for Buddhahoood, the fifth and highest of the perfection stages, indicating that relative and ultimate, individual and personal, body and mind, bliss and wisdom, male and female--all dualities--are integrated in this experience of fulfillment .
It is not possible to describe the full extent the significance of a monumental mystical experience, still I try in simple words, not only describe, but explain its significance.
I do that, because with the eye of Spirit disclosed "empirical evidence/data", is important.
Example: (something I shared before, but will recap again).
Many years ago, my Soul woke up and beheld with a downcast gaze two white as milk moon slivers...when I looked up the star-studded night sky 'rushed over' to one side unveiling the Presence of the Great God-Light. * I have been calling it the 'Uncreated Sun' -- which Sri Aurobindo said: "is the symbol of Divine Truth, it stands universally for the supramental Light, the Divine Gnosis."*
I knew that I was standing on the topmost rung of the ladder before the presence of the Great Sun with a smaller Light on its right side.
I knew that a "smart man" was standing next to the ladder. . .Below, a group of uncouth looking men. One began speaking to me. I listened with great intent to his "garbled pleading". I knew not what he was pleading, I knew I would never turn away from suffering.
When I looked up again, there was a sudden movement where the smaller Light was. Next instant the image of White Dove (symbol for the Holy Spirit) began its rapid descent towards me . . .
I recognized the significance of this most blessed Baptismal and relaxed fully to welcome its Bliss/Essence into my being...Feeling ripples of bliss-energy radiating throughout my chest, spreading to every fiber of my being .
Words of gratitude and bhakti tears sealed this most precious 'deal'.
This is what keeps me going -- not my will, or strength, but a super kind of Energy-Strength-Bliss, which passes human understanding.
If I didn't share this mystical experiences, it would feel as if I was cheating others of my support. Cheating of: "See? if it happened to me, it can happen to you also. Not in the same fashion, perhaps, but in the manner suited to your evolution."
This is the awakened Soul's agenda. Its purpose is to show that we are so much more than who we think we are. If someone is inspired by what I share, all the better. But I would never say 'believe my words, and you will be blessed', or some such. I say perform the injunction, find out for yourself.
I share my with the eye of Spirit disclosed empirical data, because of obligation to Life itself.
Those who wake up must carry the evolutionary torch forward. The realization that the evolutionary potential of the Human Family rests on our going forth shoulders, is what keeps us going.
