Not everyone can be a math wizard or ballerina, but everyone can start a spiritual practice and discover consciously who one is in the depths of our being. I share what happened on my journey through transcendent Light and Sound, and you can too. . .
You will discover that finding the way to God (by whatever name) is painfully hard because one cannot find God without passing beyond one's being, beyond one's personal history.
Gopi Krishna knew this too:
Spiritual evolution does not imply greater skill in penetrating to the below-the-surface regions of the human mind but in raising it to levels of perception which it never possessed before. It is to this enhanced perception of gifted minds that all humans progress is due.
I use the term 'ascended Soul', often, and hope by now it is clear I don't mean 'higher mind', since higher mind's desires and psycho-emotional drives, are still very much intact. This mind is still evolving and will do so until she reaches the (higher) Psychic - which is: in direct relation with the transcendent Divine and leads the nature upwards towards the Supreme. In Sri Aurobindo's words.
I second this.
I submitted to and trusted Divine Will because I saw and felt I was in direct contact-communion with the Supreme Divine. My Karma placed me in this position, this is why it was very natural for me to obey Her guidance to become Energy worker (Shabd Yoga Master level). If I didn't, my Soul would not have received all manner of Initiations, would not claim 'I became more than human' - due to Enlightenment grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence--and calling myself 'mystic' sounded strange. This is also why I realize I transcended all power offices. . . and became humanities Servant.
Aurobindo's explanation on Soul-support/guidance is great. Based on my own experience it is 'real-palpable' because She . . Feels and knows simultaneously in a more direct and luminous way, by the very purity of its own nature and the divine instinct within it, and so, whenever it comes to the front it reveals at once what are the right and and what are the wrong movements in your nature. +
The psychic stands behind the being - a simple and sincere devotion to the Divine, an instinctual withdrawal from all that is the opposite are its most visible characteristics. + The soul or spark is there before the development of an organized vital and mind. The soul is something of the Divine that descends into the evolution as a divine Principle within it to support the evolution of the individual out of Ignorance into the Light. + It is the soul that is immortal while the rest disintegrates; it passes from life to life carrying its experience in essence and the continuity of the evolution of the individual. It is the whole consciousness, mental, vital, physical also, that has to rise and join the higher consciousness and, once the joining is made, the higher has to descend into them. The psychic is behind all that and supports it. With gratitude, from www.intyoga.online.fr/ppb5.htm
Someone who studied mystical traditions can have a highly developed spiritual intelligence and philosophically talk about it from the point of view of the whole in an abstract manner.
I noticed that people are not threatened by this type of knowledge.
In contrast, the Knowingness of the subtle and extremely subtle domains that introduces itself to the awakened awareness of the ascended Soul, seems very threatening when seen through the lens of self-contraction.
I didn't study any mystical traditions this is why it took many years before I had the confidence to assert anything. . . because I had no one to compare my experiences and contemplative conclusions with. Discovered Aurobindo's work was heaven-sent. And in due time realized (Integral) Yogic Sciences became my primary source of validation. (* I had a couple of Soul-level encounters with him encouraging me to 'keep going' when gaslighters took turn to attack me)
I agree *with him* that the last rung of the mystical ladder can't be reached by 'the exclusive pursuit of a single line of identity. In Sri Aurobindo's words, from: The Synthesis of Yoga on the importance of 'harmonizing many aspects of the Infinite.'
The Divine is in his essence infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If that is so, it is not likely that our true integral nature can come by one kind of realisation alone; it must combine many different strands of divine experience. It cannot be reached by the exclusive pursuit of a single line of identity that is raised to its absolute; it must harmonise many aspects of the Infinite. An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature.
Rather than repeating what I already wrote in other posts, I am including link to 'verifying examples' (among many others) of what the experiences of being in direct relation/communion with the Divine were like for me, when I became transparent to its Influence: In plain words I describe what happens during the Descent of Peace, Force of Power, and Ananda/Divine Bliss/Satchitananda in post penned in 2009 titled: Solar Heart Initiation - which has a link to Epiphany Day and I think to Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation. Each post builds on what happened before, so it reads like one essay that took four years to write.

In words of the American philosopher Ken Wilber, confirmation on what every ascended mystic asserts - (snippets) from Excerpt G Kosmos:
"Precisely because the quantum potential is not actually a radically formless or nondual domains, it cannot serve as anything resembling a genuine spiritual reality, but rather is simply one aspect of a manifest realm that itself has qualities and quantities, and hence is not radically Unqualifiable. The wisdom traditions are in strong and virtually unanimous agreement on this point. + "What the quantum mechanics formalisms are catching is a brief glimpse of - in a merely third-person, abstract, mathematical form - is the staggering power of etheric-astral-energy, out of which, as a sedimentation and crystallization, the entire gross material world arises. One version of this is: when the Shroedinger wave function collapses, prana gives rise to matter. + "Quantum potential is not Spirit but prana! + "This is not the union of science and and spirituality, but the union of bad physics and bad mysticism. + "Absolute nondual truth, and relative truth are radically different orders. The Absolute is known only by a direct realization involving a transformation in consciousness and "what" is seen in satori cannot be stated in ordinary dualistic words, other than metaphors, poetry, and hints if you want know God, you must awaken, not merely theorize."
