It is my pleasure to weave into this blog's tapestry Gopi Krishn'as voice - not someone whose work I am very familiar with - by sharing few excerpts from The Real Nature of Mystical Experience (icrcanada.org)
My intent for including Krishna's thoughts and their meaning is about communal affirmation, about checking results with others who from same, or similar stage/level, bear witness to what happens on this pathless path of Light, Sound and Sight:
There is a sense of holiness associated with mystical experiences or, to speak correctly, the experience of future human consciousness, because it represents another step in the ascent of the soul towards knowledge of its own infinitude.
To this, - based on my own experiences - I wish to add that, after many years of interfacing with the 'Ocean of the Absolute', one realizes that what once seemed/felt holy, feels very natural or normal. The only difference is that now we are qualified to affirm what the Bhavad Gita sage asserted: I am the field and also the knower of the field.
Couple more GK quotes:
It is always good to remember that our body is the temple of the soul, used by Divinity to manifest itself on earth. It is beyond anything we can conceive of or reason about. It is a fragment of the Divine Substance which sustains the universe. It is a drop from the Ocean of the Absolute, an Atom from the world of Eternal Being. It is the potentiality present in us because of our divine inheritance that our progress has become possible.
Every soul has the possibility to awaken to its majesty as a sleeper awakens from a dream. We feel amazed at the marvels of technology, forgetting the fact that all this rich kingdom of science is but a small sample of the glorious kingdom of the soul, which has built it for its own edification. The marvels we have created should serve as reminders to us of the wonders still hidden in our self. It is the oneness in the mystical vision which shows that the triumph of one soul is the triumph of all. In the same way, the failure or pain of another soul, too, is the failure or pain of us all. It is the bond of identity among the members of the race, like the bond of unity existing in the billions of cells in our body, which alone can rise mankind to the glorious summit of spiritual illumination ordained for it.
* I hasten to add that the world is in need of great many evolved / awakened Souls in order to consciously participate in the evolutionary process.

Synchronicity
In Ken Wilber's words *author of many books on human evolution and consciousness* : (Synchronicity is) natural part of the evolutionary fabric of the universe - a direct experience of the self-organizing, self-transcending currents or Eros-at-play, forever churning in all quadrants simultaneously.
Synchronicity (link)
I agree. At the highest reaches of human evolution the awakened consciousness of one's eternal self-Soul directly bears witness to 'self-transcending Eros at play', in the most striking ways. This happens once She achieves not only union with, but identification with the Essence of the Absolute Supreme Being and with all beings in the visible and invisible dimensions.
Those of us who bear witness to this say things like:
"It is not merely a feeling of unity or oneness with creation or sense of euphoria that determines the mystical ecstasy. It is the overwhelming nature of the spectacle that shows consciousness and not the material universe as the dominating Reality." + "Mystical Vision dumbfounds the keenest intellect". +
"It has to be remembered that in the mystical ecstasy the intellect remains active. There is no blunting of rational faculty. This is repeatedly mentioned in the Upanishads. Reason has to be satisfied that the experience is not a delusion. This means that the vision is real. (...) The human eye cannot even bear the sight of this splendor. It would be struck blind even when millions of miles away. Our consciousness is an extremely dilute form of this splendor."
- In Gopi Krishna's words from: Mystical Experience The Target of Human Evolution.

Fruits of Transformation
The following quote from Dr. Clark H. Pinnock's book titled: Flame of Love -A Theology of the Holy Spirit, resonates with me completely: Revelation is not a closed system of propositional truths but a divine self-disclosure that constitutes to open and challenge.
I am grateful for this brilliant theologians work. . .at the same time am glad I read this book many years after the Holy Spirit / Kundalini Shakti began Initiating me into Divine Mysteries. This way, no one can point their accusing finger insisting that happened because I crave attention and worldly status, and my subconscious mind created hallucinations.
The historical person named Jesus taught: When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth (Jn 16:13). Throughout world's history the mystical traditions used words such as: Kundalini Shakti, Goddess, etc. The interesting part is that Enlightenment grounded in multidimensional evolution and transcendence - as revealed by the awakened awareness of the ascended Souls - is beyond traditions. . . still we use words which traditionally made sense.
Today I will use the word/name Goddess, to name what this Essence is, and is not.
Goddess' disclosure of her own nature (beyond concepts) and her Purpose for mankind is not contaminated by the reasoning mind, not even by intuition. . .it is not something one attains after drinking some plant potion (which creates hallucinatory inner worlds).
The She Who Reveals points to what Her nature is:
Ecstatic Queen of Hearts
Drinks from Eternal Fountain of Immortal Bliss
Elixir of Love
These words point to the state of consciousness one is when receiving divinely disclosed Revelations (I have called it 'Deep Samadhi'), plus the non-stop activity of an inward and upward flow of transmuted sexual potency, which flows into world's hologram from crown chakra via subtle planes. Mystical literature in all traditions has a name for this (erotic) 'Potency', such as:
Shakti-Bliss/Soma/Goddess/Supernal Holy Light/Innermost Logos/Kundalini.
One whose eternal self-Soul has reached apex of her evolution bears witness to this. We have the authority to assert what the Baghava Gita seer said: I am the Field and also the knower of the field.
For this to occur one has to undergo a grueling process of many types of Energy-level Initiations. Aurobindo description of 'mechanism of descend' resonates with my experiences. In his words:
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 of Truth of it that descends into the material and the veil between the material and it no longer exists.
*
I would like to end this reflection by including Ken Wilber's quote from: A Brief History of Everything:
Are the mystics and sages insane? Because they all tell variations on the same story, don't they? The story of waking up one morning and discovering you are one with the All, in a timeless and eternal and infinite fashion. Yes, maybe they are crazy, these divine fools. Maybe they are mumbling idiots in the face of the Abyss. Maybe they need a nice, understanding therapist. Yes, I'm sure that would help.
But then, I wonder: Maybe the evolutionary sequence really is from matter to body to mind to soul to Spirit, each transcending and including, each with greater consciousness and wider embrace. And in the highest reaches of evolution, maybe, just maybe, an individual's consciousness that is Spirit awakened to its own nature. It is at least plausible. And tell me: is that story, sung by mystics and sages the world over; any crazier than the scientific materialists story, which is that the entire sequence is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and furry, signifying absolutely nothing? Listen very carefully; just which of those stories are actually insane?

Womb of Creation & its Music
In the Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation blog I wrote that I submitted to the Supreme Divine and have no choice but 'obey' its mandate (because at this point in Soul evolution she performs the Will of the one Spirit). I wasn't going to blog today but something happened that is worth mentioning.
Once again I heard the Call of the Divine . . .
First, this reflection: The world is filled with great intellects which 'feed' our minds. Doctors heal our bodies. Those amazing computer creators made the world seem more like a global village, etc, and so on. Each profession contributes its gifts to the world - and it is as it should be.
Then there is the ascended mystics camp and its Heart-logic, whose task is to inspire and nurture Soul-yearnings. Often we say things such as: The mind responds to what it is we are feeling within our innermost heart.
Because mind's logic can't go outside its own feedback loop, we rejoice when we have the opportunity to say that, the God-spark within our heart/soul yearns to feel and respond to this most sacred Call.
*
In deep Samadhi this day I heard twice repeated very cheerful sounding (wind instrument) melody, and instantly recognized its significance. I have previously written about hearing 'Krishna's Flute', and through Google search found confirmation of its esoteric meaning.
Including previously shared (part of) from auromere.wordpress.com/2009/07/vedic-vak--four-levels-of-sound * w/permission from Sandeep.
I wish to first say: I extend a deep bow of gratitude to those sages who knew this and named.
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 build the various worlds preexist in an undifferentiated state.
2. pashyanti is the sound vibrations 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 a revelation. Knowledge is acquired in the inner mind by sight without the use of the reasoning faculty or sensory data.
May the meaning within these words be your inspiration dear one!
