Have you ever heard melody so enchanting that its sound-vibrations filled your being so completely that time stood still? . . And in that boundless stillness, your body-mind-soul throbbed in unison with its Beauty so utterly if felt like Eternity's sublimity descended on you and your Soul's Joy danced upon the starry sky's canopy: I have been having 'sky moments' ever since I was a child and it is a great privilege to share (with those of you who haven't heard) one of my favorites: Pastor Solitarios.
You have your favorite songs and those breath-taking-away moments in nature, I just thought I'll share one of my favorite melodies with the intention its sound will strike a resonating note within your being.
Before I post the link I want to share the text / lyrics this Melody invoked in me. The text is entirely my take / interpretation of the feeling and its translation of this piece. It's reflective tone is meditative.
* * *
Even though earth-shadow is dense, Love's Radiant Light shines bright.
Feel yourself rise into its Glory, feel its radiance, its stead-fast strength pour into your heart.
Feel Beloved's Presence in every fiber of your being burning the sting of emotionalism and wounded pride. . .
With gratitude see that out of the past new life is born.
Recognize, that the Sacred Heart is all around you and inside you working out a wise and beautiful Purpose within your innermost Sanctuary (Soul). . .
Remain steadfast.
With inner-seeing See that, the spark of the Divine in each being is here to manifest divinity.
Be untiring in your work, but depend not on your own strength.
Allow not the darkness of the earth to deny you your birthright of freedom, of joy and service to others. . .
However humble your work may seem to you, it is still your special contribution to the happiness of other beings.
May your Passion be Bright!

Four Levels of Sound
First I want to say that my 'Theofilia' photo is far from current, but I like it for the fact that next to my right ear, there is what I call 'the white energy thing'. . .
My son took a pic of my passport, looked at and said "it's ruined". I looked at it and said: "it's perfect", but didn't tell him why. I liked it because I do hear with my right ear 'energy' vibrations (I have compared to flute-like sounds) which are the carriers of very positive messages I have been writing about for many years (not only in this blog).
Those intensly clear/vivid flute-like sounds vary in strength, or pitch. Some have very high frequency, others lower. Their pitch vary as well as its duration, but its message (decoded) in deep Samadhi state, is always very sweet-positive. . .Unlike the 'signals' received/heard with the left ear - and I always brace myself for a very hostile encounter with thoughtforms 'sent' (realeased energy of hostilty/rage) by those who get negatively triggered by what I bear witness to in the cyberland (groups I participate in). This type of intelligence-ability Sri Aurobindo named 'Vyapati': "Through the faculty of Vyapati, one gains knowledge of the present states of mind, feelings, sensations etc. of others."
Few blogs earlier I included Sri Aurobindo's quote on Prakamaya and Vyapati (blog title) where I expressed my delight he not only knew and wrote about those "currents", but knew the proper names!
Today I am pleased to have found names for the 'four levels of sound' (and with Mr. Sandeep's permission) am including passage on Vedic Vak.
1. Para Vak is the highest form of sound. It issues forth from the Supernal Ether (para mam vyomam) where all the sound vibrations that built the various worlds 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 vision or a revelation. Knowledge is acquired in the inner mind by sight without the use of the reasoning faculty of sensory data. (precisely so).
3 Madhyana (Middle) is the sound as perceived in the subtle or Pranic world. 4. Vaikahari is the lowest form of sound and it signifies outward expression. This is the spoken word emerging from the throat. auromere.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/vedic-vak-illustration-of-para-vak/.
Plus: Aurobindo's verifying words for those us us who bears witness to same:
We do not found ourselves on faith alone, but on a ground of knowledge which we have been developing and testing all our lives. I think I can say that I have been testing day and night for years upon years more scrupulously than any scientist his theory and his method on the physical plane. That's why I'm not alarmed by the aspect of the world around me or disconcerted by the often successful furry of the adverse Forces who increase in their rage as the Light comes nearer and nearer to the earth and Matter.

Sky Dancing
Many of us sense the existence of a deeper and more fulfilling way of being and living in the world. Sense that each souls' unfoldement contributes to the evolution of the collective emergence. Is it any wonder then that many of us feel deep dissatisfaction with the status quo and yearn for something more fulfilling?
Some felt this yearning in depth's of our souls and were compelled to live with courageous willingness to tread where most dare not. . .We can learn from them. We can honor them by promoting sane living. Our Soul's Light-consciousness is that inner courage-strength and our most trusted Guide.
She sings:
Thought-churning mind is no longer needed when light and dark looses all meaning, so fear not dying to your attachments of the previous stage. Dying to the illusion that we are separate from each other, is most beneficial. . .
Be willing to embrace a wide variety of spiritual teachings/perspectives, and dare to believe that your highest calling is the one that beckons you to become a living incarnation of 'holiness' . . .
Be willing to surrender to the Will of Divine within your innermost being. Be willing to believe that (collective) critical mass-point of positivity and enlightenment - our energy of love-in-action - and our intellectual and psycho-emotional and spiritual intelligence, is creating new possibilities. . . Creating new structures that humanity will have (and built new ones). . .
When we know who we are (in Spirit) we lose fear of death. Being spiritual, doesn't mean we supposed to be always 'nice'. Be fearless when nasty people and nasty situations challenge you!
Challenge them, but don't hate them!
Bodhisattva fights the reluctance of the world. . .Let the Arjuna energy in you walk into the conflict zone and demand to be heard.
(This type of) Creative process includes conflict and is often far from pleasant, but its what keeps the evolutionary wheel oiled.
*
Today I am inspired to share few quotes from different spiritual Traditions which point to the transcendent domain, the eternal self-existent part of us - that which is deathless and birthless within our deepest core.
1. The little space within the heart is as great as this vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars; fire and lightening and winds are there; and all that now is and all that is not: for the whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our heart.
The Upanishad circa 800 B.C.
2. A rainbow a cloud a dew drop a dream a day a lifetime - all that arises subsides in eternal being.
Buddha
3. And I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul (such as it was), above the same eye of my soul, above my mind, the Light Unchangeable. Not this ordinary light, which all flesh may look upon, nor, as it were, greater of the same kind, as though the brightness of this should be manifold brighter, and with greatness take up all space. Not such was this light, but other, yea, far from all these. Nor was it above my soul, as oil is above water, nor yet as heaven above earth; but above my soul, because it made me; and I below It, because I was made by it. He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is; and he that knows It, knows eternity.

Bliss of Identity
Yesterday, first time I chanced upon Aurobindo's (for me verifying) poem titled: Bliss of Identity and decided to post it today with the intention it may be of some assistance to someone who is undergoing Kundalini Shakti awakening. This path is not for the faint of heart and perchance just knowing someone else in this modern era experienced Her Cosmic makeovers survied the ordeals may be helpful.
But first this thought. . .
I had unsolicited Kundali Shakti awakening and I didn't have anyone to reach out to for guidance. I didn't study any of the mystical traditions and had no clue what was happening to me then and what to expect later.
For example:
I didn't know what that was about when one day in the middle of the day in my living room, in 1990, according to my frightened husband my head "was like the sun and I couldn't see you" (for several minutes). During the 'discussion' we were both standing. At some point he walked away and sat down on the furthest side of the sofa in the opposite end of the room ... and with short glances in my direction and shooing-away hand gestures, pleaded: "Don't do that I can't see you".
He wanted me to be happy and enjoy our family live -- which I did! He was my best friend and the best husband in the world, still a big part of me agonized over the injustice and suffering of so MANY beings world-wide. My, "WHAT IS REAL TRUTH AND BEAUTY!!!?" - was a cry I had no answers too. It was maddening to feel so helpless.
In Summer 1994, by sheer fluke I discovered blue ribbon of light next to me skin and a golden light-aura around my head and body (and still have my journal notes). At the time it didn't occur to me one day I will be writing about in public domain.
This is why I was very glad to see (many years later) Aurobindo's words on the nature of the uncreated Light:
The sun stands universally for the supramental Light, the divine Gnosis.
(This is the) Power of the inner or higher Truth. There are different Suns in different planes each with its own colour.
Suorce: http://auromere.wordpress.com/transformation/symbols-seen-during-spiritual-experiences/
On occasion, when the world's burden is overwhelming and Energy work is draining, I have been known to plead the visible to my eye of contemplation eye-dazzling white Light (sphere) to 'help restore my strength'.... and it happened! Cosmic Tonglen work is the hardest job on the planet because it is a 24/7 thing. This thought just occurred to me .... strictly speaking my body doesn't belong to me any more.
Bliss of Identity
All Nature is taught in radiant ways to move,
All beings are in myself embraced.
O fiery boundless Heart of joy and love,
How art thou beating in a mortal's breast!
It is Thy rapture flaming through my nerves
And all my cells and atoms thrill with Thee:
My body thy vessel is and only serves
As a living wine-cup of Thy ecstasy.
I am the centre of Thy golden light
And its vast and vague circumference,
There art my soul great, luminous and white
And Thine my mind and will and glowing sense.
Thy spirit's infinite breath I feel in me;
My life is a throb of Thy eternity.
Sri Aurobindo

Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation
Guardians of Deep Mysteries are performing the Will of the one God-Spirit for the benefit of all being in all domains of creation and, "the great consciousness looking out through the eyes of every sentient being and in identity with all of the Kosmos." - Ken Wilber's quote.
I have a moral duty to obey the inner call of my vocation and bring to the world's Mystical table the Correct information on what happens at the highest of the perfection stages (integration of all dualities). Will begin by reminding the spiritual aspirant:
"Open your soul to the Eternal - but it must be eternal that draws forth your strength and beauty, not desire for growth. For in one case you develop in the luxurance of purity, in the other you harden by the forcible for personal stature" - penned by unknown to me author, whose statement resonated with me one hundred percent since I never wished to be 'spiritual' in the first place.
I discovered within the depth of my interiority, that the deepest possible connection with the Divine is revealed to the awakened awareness of one's eternal self-Soul at the zenith-point of Her evolution. We assure people that our True Soul / Goddess Living Light - whose essence is same as the Supreme Beloved's - was never born and is (therefore) untouched by death and corruption. This type of Knowingness is grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence, and comes on line (is unveiled to us) via Divine Grace. And, 'when everything is ready', we bear witness to the fact that the Universal Christ Principle is both immanent, and also transcendent.
Supramental Yogic science specialist collects and evaluates the evidence, and checks the results with those who have adequately navigated and integrated all dualities.
Gopi Krishna writes: "All the great mystics who have written on this subject have given their own symptoms openly and plainly. That is the tradition, and from their descriptions, can compare one's own condition."
We know that the Mystery of the Ineffable unveils itself to the living Soul. . .
The closer the Goddess Living Light gets to its Source
The purer the Water of Gnosis.
Marguerite Porete, in her own words bears witness to same:
"Such a soul, says Love, swims in the sea of joy, that is in the sea of delight flowing and streaming from the Divinity and she feels no joy without feeling any joy, for she dwells in joy and joy dwells in her; for through the power of joy she is herself joy, which has changed her into itself."
Marguerite was burnt at the stake for refusing to take her book titled: The Mirror of Simple Souls from circulation. She offended the powers that be by declaring: "Reason, you'll always be half-blind."
My post titled Solar Hear Initiation, describes what transpired during one particular Initiation, and was very glad to finally have Aurobindo's confirmation on why/how such a thing is possible:
If the soul of man is to go beyond humanity to reach either a supramental or still higher states, it must pass out of this cosmic existence, either to a plane or world of knowledge or into the unmanifest Eternal and Infinite. + By "void" is meant emptiness clear of all content except existence pure and simple. Without that one cannot realise the silent Brahman. + The silence can remain when the blankness has gone. All sorts of things can pour in and yet the silence still remains, but if you become full of force, light, Ananda, knowledge etc., you cannot call yourself blank any longer.
Because my 'cosmic synchronicity' Initiation event included the experience of a descent of Supramental/Divine Peace, Light and Bliss, and a Vision of and an encounter with the uncreated Sun Principle and its Power I am including Aurobindo's words on the meaning/significance of this type of descent of Supramental Consciousness:
When you see Light, this is Vision. The vision signifies future realization. When you feel Light entering into you, that is experience; When the Light settles in you and brings illumination and knowledge, this is realization. Repetition of experience leads to realization.
And this:
The psychic and spiritual transformation are within our mental conception. The supramental has a radically different awareness of things. Mentality cannot know its nature. It can only be known via the spiritualised mind. It can only begin to understand Supermind when we have connected to spiritualised mind. Our personal endeavour and aspiration cannot reach Supermind; ours is the life of ignorance.
The higher spiritual planes create their own formulations in the subliminal in the depths within us, but Overmind and Supermind have not been organized in the inner subliminal of the human.
To know them too, Supermind must descend into us. In the ascent and descent about which I have written in The Life Divine, the whole being - you may call it the Self goes say, to the Overmind, settles there and meets the Divine and then the descent of the Divine takes place. +
For 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 completed by transformation and lose rights, over one's being. (The Life Divine)

Description of what a 'face-to-face meeting with the Divine', was like for me circa 1995. I was in bed (on my side) alone when I became aware of someone's presence behind me and turned around - and with the eye of contemplation beheld the presence of a very beautiful 'Asian' looking Woman tenderly gazing at me. I "knew" She was "ignored" and asked, "What's your name?" ... "Kwan Yin, do you like me?" .... "oh yes", I uttered. I watched Her walk over to the foot of the bed . . .the room was filled to brim with swirling White Light. . .Next instant I became aware of my my Causal body's floating-like sensation within this glorious stream-Light. During this most precious Goddess Essence Transmission's flow into every cell of my body, I heard myself moan a little due to the inexplicable intensity of the Bliss factor. . .Afterwards, Bhakti tears sealed this sacred 'deal'.
I am happy to say that Aurobindo confirms for us what the White Light signifies:
"The white light is a manifestation of pure Divine Force descending from one of the Truth-planes leading to the Supramental." + "There are incarnationss or emanation of living and conscious Forces with whom we can eneter into concrete touch." + "If mankind only caught a glimps of what infinite enjoyments, what perfect forces, what wide claims of your being lie waiting for us in the tracts which our animal evolution has not yet conquered, they would leave all and never rest till they had gained these treasures."
I learned long after this (Kwan Yin) Event that The Upanishads lists ten ascending levels of bliss, before one reaches the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit, "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the previous level. . .What I just described matches Sri Aurobindo's auto-biographical poem titled: The Bliss of Brahman.
Genuine encounters with Divine Presence are Transformative.
I am very grateful for Gopi Krishna's confirming words from: 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 a delusion.
I talk about my experiences with the intention to affirm that this same Light-Force-Bliss is within the depths of every being.
Mystics share their stories to assure every being (that) what happened to me can be repeated in you, also.
And while at it, I want to bear witness to a type of synchronicity that made me gasp, when first time my flesh eyes beheld the painted image of the transfigured Christ. I like Ken Wilber's description of 'synchronicity'... (it is): "a natural part of the evolutionary fabric of the universe - a direct experience of the self-organizing self-transcending currents or Eros-at-play, forever turning in all quadrants simultaneously."
Brief account: I was watching BBC documentary on Leonardo daVinchi's lost for centuries then rediscovered, restored, and exhibited in 2011 painting. He presented the painting-image of Salvator Mundi, to the king of France.
The part that took my breath away was the image of a "crystal sphere" resting in the Redeemer's/ Christ's left hand (his right hand raised in benediction). . .I gasped because the same-looking crystal sphere entered my chest with a loud burst-like pop sound during my Solar Heart Initiation few years before the painting was restored and exhibited.
Aurobindo stated that: 'the Sun is the symmbol and power of the inner or higher Truth and stands universally for the Supramental Light, the divine Gnosis.'
In my post titled Solar Hear Initiation, I describe what happened after the Sun's brilliance morphed into 'crystal sphere' (in 2009).

Description of what a 'face-to-face meeting with the Divine', was like for me circa 1995. I was in bed (on my side) alone when I became aware of someone's presence behind me and turned around - and with the eye of contemplation beheld the presence of a very beautiful 'Asian' looking Woman tenderly gazing at me. I "knew" She was "ignored" and asked, "What's your name?" ... "Kwan Yin, do you like me?" .... "oh yes", I uttered. I watched Her walk over to the foot of the bed . . .the room was filled to brim with swirling White Light. . .Next instant I became aware of my my Causal body's floating-like sensation within this glorious stream-Light. During this most precious Goddess Essence Transmission's flow into every cell of my body, I heard myself moan a little due to the inexplicable intensity of the Bliss factor. . .Afterwards, Bhakti tears sealed this sacred 'deal'.
I am happy to say that Aurobindo confirms for us what the White Light signifies:
"The white light is a manifestation of pure Divine Force descending from one of the Truth-planes leading to the Supramental." + "There are incarnationss or emanation of living and conscious Forces with whom we can eneter into concrete touch." + "If mankind only caught a glimps of what infinite enjoyments, what perfect forces, what wide claims of your being lie waiting for us in the tracts which our animal evolution has not yet conquered, they would leave all and never rest till they had gained these treasures."
I learned long after this (Kwan Yin) Event that The Upanishads lists ten ascending levels of bliss, before one reaches the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit, "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the previous level. . .What I just described matches Sri Aurobindo's auto-biographical poem titled: The Bliss of Brahman.
Genuine encounters with Divine Presence are Transformative.
I am very grateful for Gopi Krishna's confirming words from: 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 a delusion.
I talk about my experiences with the intention to affirm that this same Light-Force-Bliss is within the depths of every being.
Mystics share their stories to assure every being (that) what happened to me can be repeated in you, also.
And while at it, I want to bear witness to a type of synchronicity that made me gasp, when first time my flesh eyes beheld the painted image of the transfigured Christ. I like Ken Wilber's description of 'synchronicity'... (it is): "a natural part of the evolutionary fabric of the universe - a direct experience of the self-organizing self-transcending currents or Eros-at-play, forever turning in all quadrants simultaneously."
Brief account: I was watching BBC documentary on Leonardo daVinchi's lost for centuries then rediscovered, restored, and exhibited in 2011 painting. He presented the painting-image of Salvator Mundi, to the king of France.
The part that took my breath away was the image of a "crystal sphere" resting in the Redeemer's/ Christ's left hand (his right hand raised in benediction). . .I gasped because the same-looking crystal sphere entered my chest with a loud burst-like pop sound during my Solar Heart Initiation few years before the painting was restored and exhibited.
Aurobindo stated that: 'the Sun is the symmbol and power of the inner or higher Truth and stands universally for the Supramental Light, the divine Gnosis.'
In my post titled Solar Hear Initiation, I describe what happened after the Sun's brilliance morphed into 'crystal sphere' (in 2009).
