This post was written in 2009 - and when I finally got around to look at it and realized it was in need of a major edit-improvement, *something I dread each time* I thought it would be easier to give it a 2.0 treatment. In this post I include description of a couple of descents of 'spiraling bands of bliss energy', that took place in 2009.
Explorers of the mystery of the Transcendent Reality - in the Yogic/Supramental science field, grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence - sing the Song of His Truth without uttering single word. The author of the Swetaswatra Upanishad (1.3) confirms this for us: 'They Beheld the self-force of the Divine Being deep hidden by its own conscious modes of working'.
Sri Aurobindo confirmed for us that THAT which unveils its Knowledge to one's awakend awareness of the Soul, is 'conscious': ". . .Force that builds the worlds is a conscious Force, the existence which manifests itself in them, is conscious Being and a perfect emergence of its potentialities in form is the sole object which we can rationally conceive for its manifestation of this world of forms', excerpt from The Life Divine.
Those of us whose body-mind-soul is taken over by the (descent of) Divine and its 'Powers', proclaim the same Truth, no matter the tradition.
Saint Hildegard of Bingen confirms for us:
'Divinity is in its omniscience and omnipotence like a wheel, a circle, a whole, that can neither be understood, nor divided, nor begun nor ended.' & 'It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is the beauty and its radiance.'
Not without a great deal of struggle one gets passed the limitations of the egoic self and its 'what's in it for me', demands, before one can taste the kind of Peace and Bliss that passes human comprehension. . . But it happenes sooner or later, even to me (smile) - the me, who has been known to not always be the angelic being some think I am today, thanks to (unsolicited) Kundalini Shakti / Holy Spirit, and its felt in every cell Essence-Force burning up all karmas (automatic body purification), filling me with spiritual Bliss, unfolding psychic powers (divine siddhis), revealing our inmost Essence to be Divine.
The thing that puzzled me most is that I didn't aspire to be spiritual, didn't read esoteric texts and didn't chose this Path . . .'It chose me because my eternal self-Soul was ready to fulfill her ancient plan?' - I thought. Once I 'got' that, I marveled no more. For many years, the Descent of Supramental Consciousness, continued - and because I knew I was in 'good hands', I trusted implicitly, this invisible to the 'ordinary' eye of flesh aspect of Reality to 'work into me' its Will.
To say that this journey has been difficult, is an understatement - and the hardest part was seeing my family suffer because of the divorce. I knew I couldn't continue to be a 'wife' *to my great husband and a best friend in the world*. I knew I had no choice but ride my Soul's destiny-wave to its culmination point without having the slightest idea what the end-point might be.
Aurobindo verified for me my Soul's 'imperative demand' (readiness) for Liberation/ Unity with the Divine Transcendent Source-Condition of everything that's arising (years after I 'figured it out' myself):
"There are many who pursue inwardly the spiritual life and keep the family duties, not as social duties but as a field for the practice of Karmayoga, others abandon everything to follow the spiritual call or line and they are justified if that is necessary for the yoga they practice or if that is the imperative demand of the soul within them." -Quote from, Letters On Yoga
Soul level experiences is the ascended Yogi/Yogini's empirical data to be 'gained for earth consciousness'.
I kept a record of some of the most 'epic' experiences, but the idea one day I will be scribbling about it in this blog and Facebook groups, never occured to me during those early years - mostly because I didn't have the Internet before 2001/Fall.
Sri Aurobindo - whose work I discovered the year I began writing here (2009) - confirmed for me those Initiation experiences were the descent of Divine Light, Peace, Force, and Bliss. In his words: "These are the things that transform nature", in order, "to carry on the work through the instrument" + "One feels the Force only when one is conscious of it."

Spirit Speaks chronicles how my Soul's journey through Light and Sound progressed - the good, the terrible and everything in between - which may or not be a source of inspiration to others.
This Path is not for the fainthearted - we are reminded that: "An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature" -Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga. . .And I am uniquely qualifed to confirm this for him.
My couple of nights ago (in 2009) description of getting a 'head massage' by spiraling bands of laser-like bliss energy released my subtle/causal body from the flesh body. . .The same 'laser-like' experience today, lasted only thirty seconds or so, but made a great impact on me due to the sheer intensity of the Bliss factor.
Brief description: During Deep Yogic state (awake during sleep) I became aware of what felt like counter-rotating bands of bliss energy moving up and down my head and body. Startled, I instincitvely braced myself to feel some kind of discomfort - since I remember all too well those, sometimes not so pleasant sensations of karma burning Kundalini rushes - next instant relax fully into the feeling in every fiber of my being a type of Bliss that's hard to describe. . .The instant the 'massage' stopped, I heard a loud snap sound - of what I could imagine two electric wires might make, when crossed. Uttering 'Thank You', for such beautiful Initiation comes naturally.
These experiences triggered a memory of reading someon's description of the 'Merkabah Body', and decided to search the Net for information - found in ascensionnow.co.uk/star-tetrahedron-merkaba.html the following quote:
"The Star Tetrahedron, better known as the Merkaba, is comprised of two opposing tetrahedrons that are spinning in opposite directions. In ancient Egypt the word Merkaba referred to a rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world into another. In Hebrew it means chariot of God. In the bible it is the way Elijah ascended into Heaven. The word Merkaba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, and is considered to be a light vehicle for space/time dimensional body; to assist in the attainment of higher levels of conscious awareness; and to travel or transition between dimensions and realities."
Elsewhere I saw another statement on same theme, but failed to scribble the source: "The Merkabah can most easily be described as a sphere of golden light."
The mention of the 'gold sphere' caught my attention, because in 1990 - according to my frightened husband, who from the far end of the room with quick glances in my direction and shoo-away hand gestures, pleadead: "Don't do that, I can't see you". (Afterwards) He told me that for several minutes my head "was like the sun and I couldn't see you."
I know, that if I didn't have these experiences I would not have been able to transmit this Light-Power to others.
One incident comes to mind: the time my student (with eyes closed in meditative state induced by Shakti flowing through my hands) perceived hovering above her mid-body a large sphere of Light. . ."What's it doing here?" (asked few times). I tried to explain the significance of the Vision, but as the minutes ticked by, she bacame agitated and named it: "I don't like this". It became very apparent she was not ready to accept and 'benefit' from this Grace-given Initiation.
Most spiritual aspirants are not aware that complete transformation is possible when the Supreme Shakti Force 'rescues' the (true) Soul from its lower nature. . .Are not aware that:
"The Divine is in his essence Infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If this is so, it s not likely that our true integral perfection in being and in 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. -Sri Aurobindo
