The Spiritual Warrior archetype *in me* is eternally grateful for my spiritual peers' 'walking orders' for those of us who have a moral duty to salvage Immortal Teaching from hands of Ignorance *those who see but don't perceive, hear but never understand*.
My primary spiritual peer Sri Aurobindo, wrote: "The evolutionary fate could be altered if she would incarnate herself here and deal with the one who stands as an antagonist". The One who dwells in the state of Eternity *one's eternal self-Soul/Divine Incarnation/Union of Soul with Supreme Beloved's Essence* has no problem destroying someone's delusions and hurting feelings of those whose, "...triumph as they know it, would be their own failure validated by the failure of all others. Equality of the bottom of the pit is their notion of a high ideal. Their insistence on discussing great matters is a farce, since they care only for refuting greatness itself, and bringing glory into disrepute. Loath to follow any line of reasoning beyond the first paltry objection, nonetheless, they will not suffer a peaceful end in dialogue, but will continually alter the angle of attack." Quote penned by Aeschylus.
Unsolicited Kundalini Shakti's at times very intense 'cosmic makeovers', as well as many types of Soul level Initiations (Supramental Force-Power-Bliss descent into my being), prepared me to 'deal with the antagonist'- prepared me to stand up to all manner of bullying, gaslighting and character assassinations - their insistence my Initiatory experiences *encouters with the Divine* were hallucinations, that description of *genuine* mystical experiences are "grotesque", and I have "nothing to contribute to evolution of consciousness".
Emerson didn't mince his words, but I 'should', because I was born in a female body?
"The spirit can only teach. Not any profane man, not any sensual, not any liar, not any slave can teach, but only he can give, who has; he only can create, who is. The man on whom the soul descends, through whom the soul speaks, alone can teach, Courage, piety, love,wisdom, can teach; and every man can open his door to these angels, and they shall bring him the gift of tongues. But the man who aims to speak as books enable, as synods use, as the fashion guides, and as interest command, babbles. Let him hush".
I was never curious about Mother Mirra's work (Sri Aurobindo's spiritual partner), but decided to see what her Visions were about. Now I have every reason to support this 20th century Mystic's legacy. She wrote: "While I sleep, my intelligence awakens and I understand what I have just seen..."
Precisely
It is my honor to include Mirra's description of couple of her Visions, as well as mine *same theme* - whose subtlety of significance we saw with the eye of Spirit:
1. " ...a light of dazzling brightness; by this light man will see with balanced vision--a vision full of love; spiritual, intellectual and vital--the eagles which symbolize the intermediaries between the evolving supermen and the the higher radiences.
* Same here: Once I beheld a vision of many eagles circling the globe. Another time, a face-to-face encouter with a 'She' Eagle archetype. I beheld Her Form high over my head. . .the longer I looked the larger and magnificent her Presence as she came closer and closer to Earth-plane. . .landing directly in front of me. Instantly, I knew what the encounter with this Archetype signified, because Her eyes were my eyes. . . and I walked away from Her gladly. I made the decision to walk away, because I knew that archetypes are born of, or are enacted by one's soul's yearning, but must not be interpreted/seen as some sort of 'final realization'.
Ken Wilber's teaching on archetypes is spot on!: "...the archetypes, the true archetypes, are the Forms of our own highest potential, the Forms of our true nature, calling us to remember who and what we really are. And in their last action, they are set aside and deconstructed--the ladder that, having served its purpose, is dicarded--and there stands instead the radiant infinity that was always already shining through and beyond those Forms altogether." Quote from: The Eye of Spirit p.359.
2. Warrior clad in an ample amethyst cloak, lined with dazzling white, falls from his shoulders...speaks; "The time draws near. Let all prepare themselves, the host of earth and the host of heaven. Let those who work and endure lose neither courage nor patience. Though invisible to all but few, the work is proceeding swiftly. On one side a growing order and harmony is driving towards the denser shears whatever confusion and disorder still prevail. On the other hand, upon earth, the seed which has been sown is ready to rise amid a field of men of ardent and enlightened goodwill.
the valiant host of supermen is making ready so that when the time comes its efforts may be joined to ours. Soon a hymn of joy shall ring forth, the paean of triumph and glory. Rejoicing in these words, I make my way back towards earth, bearing the glad tidings, and in my descent I am followed by the white dove with crimson feet.

* I had several encouters with the 'White Dove's' Essence - or more concretely stated, the descent of the 'Holy Spirit' (in Christianity) into my bodily being, whose Bliss-Force I felt every fiber of my being (described in this blog somewhere). In one of my Visionary experiences I had an encounter with white-clad "Warrior". . .
Description: I was soaring (felt in every fiber of my being the 'soaring' sensation) towards a large sphere of Pure White Light. . .as I got closer and closer, I thought: "almost there!". . .next instant I beheld within this field of whiteness a vision of a *standing* magnificent looking white-clad "Warrior" figure, and a bit fainter image of white-clad Woman on his right. . .next instant I saw Him on one knee with extended towards me right arm. . . I understood I was already 'there', but needed His/Divine Beloved's 'saving grace' to help me attain this Kosmic address.
Sri Aurobindo confirmed for me what the 'White Light' signifies: "White light indicates the divine consciousness. White is the purity and power of the divine Truth. The white light is a manifestation of pure divine force descending from one of the truth-planes leading to the supramental."
This am hour in Yogic sleep I heard *silent" "Wings of the Lord is the ark of covenant."
