Levels of Reality that exist independent of human reasoning mind includes the domain of existence where the most secret things pass between Soul and God/Divine. Those things are visible/knowable to the Soul after she achieves not only Union with, but also Identification with the Supreme Being and its Bliss-Essence. . .At this stage one knows one merges with godly Light and with God/Supreme Divine Bliss.
The term Divine Revelation denotes exactly that, because this Knowledge is given to one who reached this Cosmic address. I adopted the term Divine Revelations because 'the most secret things' introduced themselves to the awareness of my ascended Soul, whose Influence I feel and see in every fiber of my being.
I never saw Aurobindo use the term 'Divine Revelation' to identify that, which is beyond the reach of intellect and its never-ending 'reasoning' -- but I did see him unpack the meaning couched within the word Intuition, and am glad to say we are both on the same page! Different words, same meaning couched within the written word.
Quote: (Intuition) is a region of higher consciousness, which would seem to pertain more to a very high stage of realization, far beyond ordinary nonduality, rather than intuition in the ordinary sense of the term. To avoid this confusion, I sometimes refer to it Revelatory Absolute. +
There are mental, vital, subtle physical intuitions as well as intuitions from the higher and the illumined Mind. +
What comes from the Overmind intuition has a light, a certitude, an effective force of Truth in it that the mental intuition at its best even has not. (intyoga.online.fr/pp3.htm)
Folks who have a very strong negative reaction to what I-Soul bear witness to, (Divine Revelations), are one hundred percent convinced what I share is the product of 'irrational mind' - therefore, it ought to be rejected and aggressively 'take out' anyone who bears witness to higher/deeper view of Reality.
This is not surprising. Cognitive dissonance creates an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and because it is incompatible with the core belief of a denier, anything that smells like 'evolutionary mysticism' is perceived as pure nonsense.
Some argue, it is possible to reach the 'deniers' by focusing on that which unites us (our shared values as opposed to arguing differing view-points), in order to have a more productive full-spectrum discussion. That, engagement on the 'what unites us' is the way to go - and this approach could prove to be productive in the cultural/political arena - so by all means do that.
In the Soul physics domain, 'full spectrum discussion' is out of the question for the reasons I already outlined.
I am pleased I have Aurobindo's for-me-verifying words which confirms that, not the intellect, but instead: It is the supramental Power that transforms mind, life and body.
Spiritualised consciousness bears witness to this! The life mind can't reach the Bliss of Brahman in the ultimate sense (there are many levels of bliss). On this Path - through transcendent Light and Sound - the Soul undergoes many types of Initiations before She gets plugged to the supreme supracosmic Satchitananda/Bliss of Brahmman (which is beyond all). In his poem Bliss of Identity, Aurobindo describes exactly what this means and feels like.
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 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 I its vast and vague circumference
There are my soul great, luminous and white
All 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.
* I am avoiding talking about the part of my Work (on the Energy level) that can only make sense to someone who is ready to be Initiated. The 'ripe one' will know what I mean by this *
Some spiritual folks think one needs to have a flesh body sex partner in order to reach 'ultimate enlightenment' - this is why they can't be expected to believe that what Aurobindo and I discovered is very Real to us. . .That, a literal (conscious) 'Ultimate Consummation' between Soul and God - within one's innermost being - is Real (same as Shiva & Shakti's Erotic Embrace).
The 'non-believing' part is not a 'problem' at all! - because even though beings who are not yet conscious of such Deep Connection to the Creator's Love, can't ever fall out of this Cosmic address because God /LOVE supports impartially everything.
In closing I want to give voice to Gopi Krishana, who wrote in The Real Nature of Mystical Experience that 'ascended mystics' (are)
are recipients of Grace, which lifted them up to a lofty spiritual height to which all human beings have to climb, they become objects of adoration only to one segment of humanity and of indifference, antipathy and even hate to the others.
