My interest in Sri Aurobindo's spiritual partner Mirra's work has not been on my mind's radar very much, still I manged to read a bit here and there to see what her work was about. Recently I edit-improved one post (about her), titled Mother Mirra's 6th Vision - and will include link below.
Today, I am happy to include something I read few days ago, which is for those of us 'mystic types', verifying. . .with Deepest Gratitude to Mirra's legacy.
There are people in whom psychic movement, the emotional impulse is stronger than the intellectual understanding. They feel an irresistible attraction for the Divine without knowing, without having the slightest idea of what it is, of what it can be, what it represents--nothing, no intellectual notion--but a kind of impulse, attraction, a need, an inevitable need.
And these people who have that, if, I may say as a result of the Grace, they have a mind which does not trouble them, does not question, does not discuss, go very fast. And then, what is quite miraculous according to ordinary ideas is that as soon as they reach the degree of consecration which identifies them through their psychic being with the Divine Presence, suddenly they become endowed with capacities of expression absolutely unknown to their nature. . .
There are others who understand first, who are very intellectual, have studied, can play with words and ideas, who will give you brilliant lectures on all the philosophies, all the religions, all human conceptions and who, perhaps, will advance one step. Because all that goes on in their head. Many things go on in their head...the head is like a public square,,,Anything at at all can enter there, come, cross over, go out, and create a lot of disorder.
And people who are in the habit of playing with ideas are the ones most hampered from going further. It is a game that's pretty attractive; it gives you the impression that you are not altogether ordinary, at the level of ordinary life, but which cuts the wings. It's not the head which has wings: its the heart.

This is also why, it is impossible to change someones mind that thinks our testimonies are pure fantasy designed to make us feel 'special'.
I know I don't feel special. I know what I bear witness to, is.
Those of us who know better, know that what we bear witness to (genuine supramental experiences, or Initiations into Deep Mystery) is not the result of subconscious mind's dive into its desire-producing hallucinatory formations (fantasy), definitely not the result of mind altering substances.
