Last Conversion & Further Divine Progression

"I will dance for God!" - declared my indignant four year old self, when Gran tried to teach me prayer. This story my Gran told me when I was a sweet teen-child who loved singing religious hymns in the (Catholic) church . In my chruch, (in Poland) I never heard priests talk about hell's brimstone and fire and such. I heard beautiful stuff about Jesus. . .and when the Crucifix disappeard from the classrom wall, I felt compelled to do something about it. At recess (our school property had several mature trees) found two sticks, and with grass tied/fashioned a very respectable looking symbol of the Christian faith. . .After school (when alone) managed to hang it beneath some political dignitaries portrait.

That same fiesty-independent energy comes alive now when folks who worship at the feet of the artificial intelligence, insist their lord's "logic" overrides my/our empirically verified Depth data's conclusions about the nature of the transcendent Reality . . . because 'it can't be scientificly verified'.
"We don't understand mind better by blowing it up to cosmic proportion", insists the academic with extremely impoverished view of Reality (Facebook group).
Some confuse peak experiences with spiritual maturity, or in some cases final Enlightenment - and when called out . . .? Only one who can't be bullied into submission, knows what the hostile forces do when challenged.

Many years ago I found myself in the same as Aurobindo's, "The inner guide, the Universal Teacher, showed me my path entirely", boat long before I knew his name. And, like him - due to the many types of descents of Supramental Forces into my being I described in, The Path Ordained by God, Solar Heart Initiation & Confirmation, Epiphany Day, and others - his statement in a letter to his brother resonates with me to a Tee: "All that I do does not depend on my own will, but is done according to the command of the Divine."

When I began having unsolicited Kundalini Shakti awakening experiences, I had no reference point to begin to understand what was happening to me - and (therefore) am all the more grateful for my inner guide's prompting to check out Sri Aurobindo's work. And when I did - despite my, 'his work is way above my head, so what's the point?', stance - I realized that, 'I already know this, because this happenend to me!'
I had zero ambition of being 'spiritual', never thought about it - still it 'happened' because I was born with unbroken continuity of awareness and destined to fulfill my Soul's final or last conversion. . .A type of conversion that enables the transformation of a common being into Gnostic/Divine being who rocks the Supramental body. . .

The 'Supramental body' of the fully liberated Soul. . .She whose veil no mortal has ever lifted sing the Song of His Truth from the source of its Nature in service to the Divine.
Aurobindo confirmed for me that the 'Supramental Truth glided into the lotus of my heart and woke in it the Force that alters fate ' (line from Savitri), because I was already 'on the threshhold of divinity' and rocking this developmental line/intelligence with 'great patience, calm, sobriety, balance, and impersonal detachment and sincerity free from all taint of ego or personal human desire without attachment to any idea of one's own, to any experience, to any kind of imagination, mental building or vital demand - without which the Truth would have no chance establishing itself in its purity in the nature' - Sri A words - paraphrased - from Letters on Yoga.

I am uniquely qualified to confirm for Aurobindo that: "An incarnation is destined, is chosen for you; the human person cannot chose or create an incarnation for himself by his own personal will. To attempt this is to invite a spiritual disaster."
Aurobindo's biographer, Satprem, wrote that: 'He was the first to be baffled by his own experience and . . . it took him some years to understand exactly what had happened.' . . .'And it was on this experience that later on I founded my philosophy not on ideas themselves'.
He studied the Upanishad's and the Gita, was familiar with European psychology, but didn't find explanation for certain psychological experiences. And, only after his contact with Vivekanada all the Kosmic puzzle pieces fell into place.

Including few snippets from intyoga.online.fr/viveka.htm
"Vivekananda came and gave me the knowledge of the intuitive mentality. I had not the least idea about it at the time. + He too did not have it when he was in the body. He gave me detailed knowledge illustrating each point. The contact lasted about three weeks and then he withdrew. + He explained to me in detail the work of the Supermind - not exactly of the Supramental. He did not use the word "Supermind," I gave this name afterwords."

This type of confession sounds woo-woo until one discovers within one's innermost being - in every cell of one's body felt - descents of nature-transforming Supramental Forces, the stark truth that the laws of the Supramental Forces and its Will stand above the material world, above the reach of mind.

The Siddha Master reminds us that: "If evolution is a truth and is not only physical evolution of species, but an evolution of consciousness, it must be a spiritual and not only a physical fact. In that case, it is the individual who evolves and grows into a more and more developed and perfect consciousness and obviously that cannot be done in the course of a brief single human life. If there is the evolution of a conscious individual, then there must be rebirth.
Rebirth is a logical necessity and a spiritual fact of which we can have the experience. Proofs of rebirth, sometimes of an overwhelmingly convincing nature, are not lacking, but as yet they have not been carefully registered and brough about." - Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - 2 p.396

In The Life Divine, we read *which the science geek in me seconds*: "In emerging, therefore, out of materialisitc period of human knowledge we must be careful that we do not rashly condemn what we are leaving out or throw away even one little of its gains, before we can summon perceptions and powers that are well grasped and secure, to occupy their place. Rather we shall observe with respect and wonder the work of what Atheism has done for the Divine and admire the services that Agnosticism has rendered in preparing the illimitable increase of knowledge.
In our world error is continually the handmaid and pathfinder of Truth; for error is really a half-truth that stumbles because of its limitations; often it is Truth that wears a disguise in order to arrive unobserved near its goal."

Supreme Grace Transforms Nature

The ever-evolving journey of inner awakening -- when grounded in proper moral purification and stripped of all attachments -- prepares one to enter the journey of ascent into the realms of holiness and Divine Light with its tremendous Powers and the complexity of its 'aspects'. The ineffable nature of the experience of transcendental infinite Reality involves body sensations, altered states of consciousness and intense spiritual focus. . . To walk this path is to encouter the Living Mystery, endure in every fiber felt its purifying Baptismal Fires and return Illumined bearing witness to a Holiness beyond Form and Love beyond human comprehension. When genuine, the experience of ascension reveals that authentic spirituality is not an escape from life, but a deeper engagement with it.

Those of us in whose hands the burden of unrevelling life's greatest Mystery is placed, perform the Will of the one Spirit. We absolutely know that the Divine Beloved is the Lord of our works - that, we receive only what the Divine Intellect-Will brings us, and whatever 'Power' we receive is subtly regulated in its energy and directed by the Divine Wisdom. My post The River of Light Revisited describes this on 'Power is regulated & directed by Divine Wisdom', theme.

Sri Aurobindo reminds us that:
"Only by sublimation by sacrifice of all that we are, can enable us to embody the highest and live here in the immanent consciousness of the transcendent Spirit. + An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature. + for this Presence is in its nature infinite. Whatever it has to manifest of itself or out of itself, it will do invitably by its own power, if there is substantial acceptance. It is quite true it is a grace sent and the only return needed for such a grace is acceptance, gratitude and to allow the Power that has touched the consciousness to develop what has to be developed in the being--by keeping oneself open to it. The total transformation cannot be done in a moment; it must take long and proceed through stages; what is now experienced is only an initiation, a foundation ('a great wave of calm') for the new consciousness in which that transformation will become possible.
The spontaneity of the experience ought by itself to show that it is nothing constructed by the mind, will or emotions; it comes from a Truth that is beyond them." - Letters on Yoga - 3 p.391-393

Based on first-hand experience these deeply transformative events are like sacred signatures, sealing the Truth of what has been accepted with bhakti tears. . .sometimes on my knees.

This journey, my sharing isn't just about personal transformation, but also about holding space for wisdom that others may not yet be ready to recognize. I did find that, over time, some individuals (Facebook group) softened their views - their 'negative' opinion of me - because they sensed the passion of certainty and authenticity, and the depth of intention verified by communal confirmation.
I offer my insights not as something to persuade or argue over, but as a gift for those who find resonance in them. . .and I consider this a priviledge. The open-minded reader recognizes that words don't just 'say' things - they carry something deeper, something alive that keeps weaving meaning into the world.

One who (also) experienced in every cell of his being 'Divine Revelation' of the highest order, writes: "You must become the psychic being - for only the psychic has the honesty, humility and quiet fire to go all the way" + The Grace does not mind your stumbling - but it cannot work through falsehod." -Sri Aurobindo's quotes from Letters on Yoga +
"In this yoga the psychic being is that which opens the rest of the nature to the true supramental light and finally to the Supreme Ananda. & The psychic being is always there, but is not felt because it is covered up by the mind and vital; when it is no longer covered up, it is then said to be awake. When it is awake, it begins to take hold of the rest of the being, to influence it and change it so that all may become the true expression of the inner soul. It is this change that is called the inner conversion. There can be no conversion without the awakening of the psychic being." -Excerpts from intyoga.online.fr/triple1.htm

"The psychic part of us is something that comes directly from the Divine and is in touch with the Divine. In its origin it is the nucleus pregnant with divine possibilities that supports this tripple manifestation of mind, life and body. There is this divine element in all living beings, but it stands hidden behind the ordinary consciousness, is not at first developed and, even when developed, is not always or often in front; it expresses itself, so far as the imperfection of the instrument allows, by their means and under their limitations. It grows in the consciousness by Godward experience, gaining strength every time there is a higher movement in us, and, finally, by the accumulation of these deeper and higher movements, there is developed a psychic individuality - that which we call usually the psychic being.
It is always the psychic being that is the real, though often the secret cause of man's turning to the spiritual life and his greatest help in it. It is therefore that which we have to bring from behind to the front in the yoga." - Excerpt from: Letters on Yoga intyoga.online.fr/ppb2.htm

The Way of This Yoga

In the previous blog I included Mr. Mohaparta's (false) claim that Aurobindo's 'philosophy or yoga doesn't have any straightforward method for direct access to spirituality'. It is clear to me he is not ready for the Supramental Yoga . Not ready to hear and accept Siddha Yogi's teaching: "...from a higher spiritual experience, from a deeper source of knowledge and not lubrications of the logical intellect trying to coordinate its ignorance."-Sri A.
Not ready to experience the Truth by opening his mind to 'faith, aspiration and surrender'.
Blaming Aurobindo releases Mr. Mohaparta from admitting he is not even close to the 'Nirvna' state - which in the Master's words is: 'only the begining of the higher Truth, a mere 'passage from the Ignorance to the higher Truth'.

So who is ready for this Yoga?
" The realisation of this Yoga is not lower but higher than Nirvana or Nirvikalpa Samadhi. *skp
The way of Yoga here has a different purpose from others - for its aim is not only to rise out of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness into the divine consciousness, but to bring the supramental power of that divine consciousness down into the ignorance of mind, life and body, to transform them, to manifest the Divine here and create a divine life in Matter. This is an exceedingly difficult and different Yoga; to many or most it will seem impossible. All the established forces of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness are opposed to it and deny it and try to prevent it, and the sadhak will find his own mind, life and body full of the most obstinate impediments to its realisation. If you can accept the ideal wholeheartedly, face all difficulties, leave the past and its ties behind you and are ready to give up everything and risk everything for this divine possibility, then only can you hope to discover by EXPERIENCE the Truth behind it. *skip
The sadhana of this Yoga does not proceed through any set of mental teaching or prescribed forms of meditation, mantra or others, but by aspiration, by self-concentration inwards or upwards, by self-opening to the influence, the Divine Power above us and its workings, to the Divine Presence in the heart, and by rejection of all that is foreign to these things. It is only by faith, aspiration and surrender that this self-opening can come. *skip
Purification and a basis of calm are the first necessary steps in the spiritual life. The aspiration must be for the entire purification, especially (1) purification from sex, so that no sex imaginations may enter and the sex impulse may cease, (2) purification from desires and demands, (3) purification from depression which is the result of dissapointed desires. It is the most important for you. Patricularly what you must aspire for is peace in all the being, complete equanimity, samata. The feeling that peace is not enough must go. Peace and purity and equanimity once stablished, all the rest must be the Mother's free gift, not a result of the demand from the being. *skip
To be entirely sincere means to desire the divine Truth only, to surrender more and more to the Divine Mother, to reject all personal demand and desire other than this one aspiration, to offer every action in life to the Divine and do it as the work given without brining in the ego. This is the basis for the divine life. One cannot become altogether this at once, but if one aspires at all times to it and calls in always the aid of the Divine Shakti with a true heart and straightforward will, one grows more and more into this consciousness. *skip
Only those who can accept the call to such a change should enter into this Yoga."
