She is Solitary

Ultimate Transcendence is beyond one's individual existence.  .   .
This (Divine Vision) theme,  runs through all my  writings. Divine Vision means direct acquaintance with (first-hand perception)  and perfect understanding of, the universal Energy in all the realms of creation as an actual experience,  as opposed to 'cognitive understanding' by looking at a consciousness model.
Even though in this lifetime I was destined to become a 'housholder',  Kundalini Shakti made me aware that my Soul's virtual memories are grounded in Yogic tradition.  Yogic traditions explain  the mysterious Kundalini Force as that which liberates the Soul from its lower body.  Because this happened to me, I realized it is the same Source-power which creates the universe and knows itself to be the 'Creator'.
I learned that it takes a fully active Kundalini to transform our entire being by burning up all our karmas, unfold the psychic powers (Divine Siddhis),  fill us with permanent bliss and reveal the essence of our being to be divine. This happened to me - even though I didn't strive to 'achieve' anything - because my Karma was ripe-ready for this to happen.
One's True Nature is  discovered  through  Divine Vision when one's masculine and feminine Energies are fully integrated in the spiritualized mind-plane (which are neither dominating/controlling or passive). Now we see that we have  risen above the male/female distinction due to integration of one's  eternal Soul-essence with God's Essence.  Here one discovers of  being (also) literally one with all beings in the visible and invisible domains of existence. One who ascends to this level of spiritual wisdom  has no choice but see that when someone uses alluring spiritual language but doesn't have the Depth data's contemplative conclusions - based on Soul level Initiations -  to back their words,  is not Enlightened in the ultimate sense.
 We see that using high profile spiritual language does not evidence  mystical wisdom,  since 'correct knowledge' is different from liberating insight  -  liberating insight,  grounded in  multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence  due to having undergone many types of Soul-level Initiations.
Some think that  sharing  my mystical experiences is a sign of  "self-glorification" - and they do that, because their ego-mind can't accept there are universal truth's which are higher/more inclusive then their view of reality.
Gopi Krishna  has my back -  his discourse on: Signs and Characteristics of Enlightenment for Investigation,  includes the following:
The illumined person must be able to write what he has experienced and make that writing available to the world. (...) Therefore, no one can describe the superconscious state unless one has the experience of it. This is the most decisive sign to judge whether a man is enlightened or not. He must be able to give description of the superconscious state in words which are inspiring and which have an originality of their own.
One, whose Soul-journey through transcendent Light and Sound  culminates in getting plugged to the Essence of the Supreme Source, can describe in simple words what this Path without a map is like, without using concepts.
In this blog I chronicle the many types of Initiations - such as  my with Kwan Yin encounter, and what transpired  (just to give one example).
I  am glad I have Sri Aurobindo's verifying  voice  on this subject, as well:
Experience is a word that covers almost all the happening in yoga; only when something gets settled, then it is no longer an experience but part of the siddhi; e.g. peace when it comes and goes is an experience - when it is settled and goes no more, it is a siddhi. Realisation is different - it is when something for which you are aspiring becomes real to you; e.g. you have the idea of the Divine in all, but it is only an idea, a belief; when you feel or see the Divine in all, it becomes a realisation.

Ascended mystics of all traditions wrote from this Kosmic address.
Each Seer  discovers that  manifestation is Pure Consciousness manifesting itself in ALL the different names and forms - discovers that the experience of our core  Consciousness is Sat Chit Ananda  (I exist, I am aware, I am Pure Bliss).
Spiritual Joy  is the  balanced Yin/Yang  aspects within our being capable of   housing 'super emotions'  and it's counterpart 'super motivations'.  This  Energy is like the  Wind beneath our 'angel' wings  that carries one's Action and Compassionate Caring into the world of Form.
I had no names for what  motivated  my  feelings  during those very intense years, but  at some point the High Priestess archetype  (in me) compelled me to perform many  ceremonial rituals - often with tear-producing  intensity/sincerity,  whose aim is always. . .
 For the benefit of all beings!
 I am describing natural  surrender to the Divine Will,  because by then my  heart was broken open.
 She/awakened Soul is the mediator of the passage into Reality's supramental Depth. This inner-Guide's serenity, clear-seeing, wisdom and high intuition, has been my Guiding Light - is everyone's Guide when one gets in touch with it.
The Power of the Divine Grace reveals the Light-Radiance of who we are in the depths of our being, becomes  everyone's Guide, when one gets in touch with it and is willing to perform the Will of the one Spirit. Her only Intention is to Serve all beings in all domains of life. She doesn't crave to be seen, doesn't seek attention from others.  Her Gift to humanity is deep desire to give  away everything.
.  .  .She Sings.  .  .
Freedom Brought Me Power 
In Service I Give What I Have Become.
The Light of Truth Flows Into the World
Free From 'what's in it for me'

Permanent Samadhi state and Soul-level  meeting with the Divine, is our means through  which we access-See that which the surface mind can't.
Sri Aurobindo's  (confirming) words from: Letters on Yoga,  p.3 Experiences and Realisations   intyoga.online.fr/exp_real.htm:

(Then)  there are experiences that help to lead towards the realisation of things spiritual or divine or bring opening or progressions in sadhana or are support on the way - experiences of a symbolic character, visions, contacts of one kind or another with the Divine  or with the workings of higher Truth, things like the waking of the Kundalini, the opening of the Chakras, messages, intuitions, openings to the inner powers, etc.   *Yes*
The one thing one has to be careful about is to see that they are genuine and sincere, if one is more concern with ego and being a big yogi or being superman than meeting with the Divine or getting the consciousness which enables one to live with the Divine, then a flood of pseudo or mixtures comes in, one is led into the mazes of the intermediate zone or spins in the groves of one's own formation.

Will add that, when the meeting of Soul and the Divine is genuine  it is not possible to get sucked into the vortex of self-deception and inflation - not possible to get lost in the Intermediate Zone.
                                                                     *
Including couple of examples of  what  'super motivations' &  'super emotions'  experiences  are/were  like for me.  Those experiences  confirmed for me that my subconscious mind is not split from the surface mind.
1.  Years ago I found myself  standing on top of  a wide peacefully flowing river's current (in the middle) . . .the instant I noticed some folks standing on river's bank, I raised my right hand  and blessed their precious presence with the sign of the Holy Cross. I recall concentrating very intently on making the perfect sign of the Cross. *The Holy Cross became the container through which I poured out my heart's  blessings (super intentions & motivations).

2.   I found myself on a boat with several 'uncouth men'. . .without a thought of 'doing' anything at all, I found myself floating  away from the boat . . . The Water's turquoise color shimmered invitingly. . . I turned towards the  men and with raised hand  Blessed their presence with the Master Symbol.

I have no doubt that my heart-felt  'Rituals' and their Intentions, carried over into sleep state. Example:   For many months at noon (every day)  I chanted certain Prayer/Blessings for the benefit of all creation and its inhabitants.

Communication of the Divine from the Source of its Nature

While ago I chanced upon Joseph Alexander's Youtube video  critiquing the film titled, Zeitgeist (didn't see it)  directed by Peter Joseph, who managed to:  "reduce the phenomenon of religion to an ancient form of plagiary and sun worship"  -  and thought it might be an interesting topic for the not faint of heart.
I completely agree with Joseph's analysis based on personal supramental experiences and their contemplative conclusions  because:   he paints an entirely new picture of the ancient myths and religion, showing that myths not only have a biological basis, but are also doorways into the evolutionary goal of our species.

All ascended mystics shared their Depth data with the intention to inspire and uplift others in order they  may aspire to reach their highest potential.
I will  include several  quotes from Joseph's video and  include links to three of my key posts on same theme.

It is true that a large portion of mythology and religious scriptures fall into the origins category. These are narratives which recount the story of creation, either of the first humans or of primal earth - and personification of natural forces into gods. However, the most important category of mythology - and also most overlooked were ignored, is also the most obvious -- an interpretation of spiritual awakening and expansion of consciousness. This is the real secret of ancient myths.

Isis, Osiris, Horus and Seth were not just  vegetation or solar gods, they were symbolic representation of the different archetypes within the human soul. Isis represented the power of transformation and the virgin birth which is a symbol of sublimated sexual energy.

These symbols are communicated from inner planes of consciousness, which seek to guide humanity on the right path in order to transform the human body into a perfect instrument of Soul expression. As if from a cosmic seed, humanity is unfolding on this planet, destined to bloom into a cosmic conscious species. The sun and solar disc are more then just symbol of our planetary star - they are both iconic images (* High Archetypes)  analogous to mystical illumination expressing radiance of one who has entered into the state of Samadhi, or  Cosmic Consciousness.

In the case of the god RA, the golden disc sits on top of its head. Likewise, Isis is depicted with the white moon disc on her head - these head ornaments correspond to male and female archetypal energies, and the colors experienced in meditation.  This spiritual interpretation of the solar disc, as the mechanism responsible for inner illumination is more in line with the core teaching of ancient Egypt.  If the solar disc is simply a sun why would it be encircled by a Serpent.
Today, the greatest tragedy is not crimes committed by the religious establishment, or the international banking system, but by the tragic ignorance of our spiritual destiny. The real solution and road to happiness have always laid in knowledge of  one Self.

Emotions & Motivations

Not all Visions  and mystical experiences have equal value because they come from different Mind-planes.  Based on  first-hand experiences, some  have the power-capacity to  directly plug one to the domain of Consciousness they originate from, others do  not.
All values, all ranking  and all judging are not equal  -   this is why in the court of law  (for instance) the judge doesn't  place behind prison bars  someone for 10 years, for stealing  bicycle.
Not all feelings and motivations are  equal, either.
I appreciate and agree  with  Ken Wilber's insight,  the role   motivations and  emotions  play,  when  enacted from  a deeper/subtler sense-awareness.  I like that he used Aurobindo's  model to  highlight why  this topic is important -  why it ought to matter very much to spiritual practitioners.  Not  many people are aware of this, this is why I am  more then glad to  share what he said in:  What is Enlightenment magazine - in article titled Higher Integration Bridging the Gap Between the Map & the Territory (2005):
When Aurobindo talks about  intuitive mind and overmind and supermind, it's very telling that he uses the word mind. Because you can also say that there are intuitive emotions, and over-emotions, and super-emotions. The same with motivation -- there's intuitive motivation and over-motivation and super-motivation. So there are all those other lines of development that go up the hill with the mind line, or cognitive line.
But we still find that the cognitive line is usually necessary for these other lines to stick. If you don't have intuitive mind awakened, and overmind awakened, and supermind awakened, the emotions won't stick up there -- they'll come and go. And the higher motivations won't stick -- they'll come and go.
                                                                *
Some who think they are in  Supermind because their mind can understand conceptually the definition of what it is, are not there.  In chapter on Gnostic Being in The Life Divine, Aurobindo writes:
  "...in the gnostic being the subconscient will have become conscious and subject to the supramental control, penetrated with its light and action. The body will be turned by the power of spiritual consciousness into a true and fit and perfectly responsive instrument of the Spirit. + The Supermind itself in the descending degrees of the manifestation emerges from the Ananda." (*"Ananda=Bliss of Brahman")   +  "... Ananda is the spiritual matrix from which it manifests and the maintaining force into which it carries back the soul in its return to the status of the Spirit. A supramental manifestation in its ascent would have as a next sequence and culmination of self-result a manifestation of the Bliss of Brahman."  Quotes from: intyoga.online.fr/ld2_27.html

People who hanker after worldly status,  material riches, admiration and such, are  not ready to  embody higher  motivations and emotions. Saint-like simple folk, are another story.
The keen reader of this blog knows I saw, heard and responded to cries of the world...I was Soul-directed to become Energy Healer at a Master level, and that was only the beginning.  In advanced evolution, one is ready-able to submit to the eternal self-Soul's yearning.  The fully awakened She/Light Being  knows by her own inherent (divine) nature, by her own Light, how to best fulfill her destiny and mission . . . how to be a conscious agent in the evolutionary process, and it takes many types of  Soul-level Initiations into the greatest Mystery of all before one become God-realized.
                                                             *
This is  how Aurobindo described  Illumined mind, Overmind and Supermind:

1.    The Illumined Mind does not work primary by thought, but by vision; thought is here only a subordinate movement expressive of sight. The human mind, which relics mainly by thought is secondary and not indispensable process. In its form of verbal thought, it can almost be described as a concession made by knowledge  to the Ignorance.  +   Illumined Mind is the vehicle through which the Divine Light and Power come down to be transmitted to the human consciousness and from there they work and prepare the transformation of the human consciousness and even the physical nature.

2.   At the source of . . . Intuition we discover a superconscient Mind in direct contact with the supramental Truth-Consciousness, an original intensity determined of all movements below it and all mental energies -- not Mind as we know it, but an overmind that covers as with the wide wings of some creative Oversoul this whole lower hemisphere its brilliant golden Lid it veils the face of the greater Truth from our sight, intervening with its flood of infinite possibilities as at once an obstacle and a Power that at once connects and divides the supreme Knowledge and the cosmic Ignorance.

3.   The essential character of Supermind is a Truth-Consciousness which knows by its own inherent nature, by its own Light; it has not to arrive at knowledge but possess it. +
Supermind is an eternal reality of the divine Being and the divine Nature.

Snippet on Supermind,  possibly from intyoga.fr.online

And this:  in Sri Aurobindo's words on why description of the supreme spiritual level (Divine Gnosis)  ought to be left to the true mystic:

"... the true knowledge and description must be left to the language of the mystic and the figures, at once more vivid and more recondite, of a direct and concrete experience."  The Life Divine, chapter titled: The Ascent Towards Supermind,  http://intyoga.online.fr/ld2_26.htm
