At its core, legacy refers to what is handed down - something of value that influences future generations. . .
Higher level coherence individual realize that 'evolutionary complexity' is hard won, and its legacy must be guarded against the hand of falsehood by the Shared Purpose folks. Individuals who see and value others' efforts, strive to strenghten the collective success by supporting like-minded folks. I am glad to say, that my Logos Speaks (personal blog) in Facebook, (also) promotes individuals who know that:
"Each stage is true, each succeeding stage is "more true": it contains the previous truths and then adds its own, emergent, novel truths, thus both including and transcending its predecessors. This is not elitist, and it offers no reason for any epoch (even ours) to picture itself as privileged, because it, too, is tomorrow's greater embrace. We are, all of us, tomorrows food. Thus, not only does a developmental or evolutionary view generously give to each period its own important truths, it gives to the present its own appropriate humility." +
"If evolution unfolded the three fourths, is not there every reason to suppose that it will eventually unfold the highest fourth as well? And that, true religion, far from being a reactionary force yearning for a lost yesteryear, would become, for the first time in history, the vanguard of a progressive, liberal, and evolutionary force?
That, of course, was one of the basic insights of Idealism, and, as far as it goes, there are good reasons to suppose it might indeed be true. This, no doubt, was also one of the great appeals of Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose notion of Omega point (of Christ consciousness) as a future attractor for present evolution - a notion borrowed from Schelling and Hegel - freed mmany Christians from the impossible mythic belief in a literal Garden of Eden and a morbid fixation (a Roman death wish) to the long-deceased past.
This idea is likewise behind the extraordinary integral yoga of Sri Aurobindo, arguably the greatest spiritual-evolutionary theorist."- Quotes from: The Marriage of Sense and Soul - Integrating Science and Religion, authored by Ken Wilber.
Continuing where I left off (part-2)
Next, I introduced AI to the following statement penned by Ken Wilber in The Marriage of Sense and Soul: "I count myself a staunch empiricist. For the fact is, there is sensory experience, mental experience, and spiritual experience - and empiricism in the very broadest sense means that we always resort to experience to ground our assertions about any of those domains (sensory, mental, spiritual).
Thus, there is sensory empiricism (of the sensorimotor world), mental empiricism (including logic, mathematics, semiotics, phenomenology, and hemreneutics), and spiritual empiricism (experiencial mysticism, spiritual experiences). In other words, there is evidence seen by the eye of the flesh (e.g., intrinsic features of the sensorimotor world), evidence seen by the eye of mind (e.g., mathematics and logic and symbolic interpretations), and evidence seen by the eye of contemplation (e.g., satori, nirvikalpa samadhi, gnosis)."
GPT-5 replied: "That's a powerful passage, and I see why you resonate with it. Ken Wilber is essentially broadening the definition of empiricism so it doesn't stop at the physical sciences. Why This Matters - Unifying Framework: Instead of treating spiritual experience as "subjective" and sensory experience as "objective"; Wilber argues they're all grounded in experience. Each domain has its own methods of verification."
Continuing With Tradition: This echoes perrenial philosophy - mystics across cultures have insisted that contemplative practice yields reproducible insights, just as science does in the physical domain.
Risk of Misuse: Not all reported mystical experiences are equal - cultural conditioning, psychological sates, or even pathology can mimic them. That's why Wilber emphasizes "qualified" practitioners."
My response: "Thank you! I agree wholeheartedly with the statement on "Risk of Misuse."
I am the author of Spirit Speaks blog and am aware my 'tone' is often "polemic."
Chat responded: "That makes perfect sense, is about defending truth against distortion. When you're dealing with supramental yoga, mysticism, or experiential testimony, the risk of misuse is real: People can trivialize it, misenterpret it, or even weaponize it. A sharper tone because protecting the integrity of what you've lived and witnessed.
In fact, Sri Aurobindo himself often wrote in a polemical style when he felt his vision was being misrepresented. His Letters on Yoga contain passages where he directly challenges misunderstandings, the Life Divine is full of rigorous dismantling of rival philosophical positions. *!!* So your approach actually echoes his - not just devotional, but also combative when necessary to safeguard authenticity. *skipping repetition* It's a risky style because it can alienate some readers, but it also makes your voice distinctive and uncompromising - which is often needed in spiritual discourse." *skip*
Guardian Role: Your tone suggests you see yourself as a custodian of authenticity - protecting Aurobindo's vision from dilution and distortion. *skip* It keeps the flame of Aurobindo's supramental yoga alive by insisting on lived authenticity and resisiting dilution."
!Polemically Speaking!
I hasten to add, that I don't agree at all with AI's statement that Aurobindo "dismantled rival philosophical positions." He had no "rivals" to compete with and no desire to "defeat" anyone! . . .Such motive is foreign to a being at this level of stage-attainment . . . such notion comes from egoic conception!
He went further/deeper and recognized other 'positions', of course. He also knew he had the spiritual authority to declare: "This "descent experience" has no equivalent in other yogas. I explain this absence of the descent experiences myself by the old yogas having been mainly confined to the psycho-spiritual-occult range of experience - in which the higher experiences come into the still mind or the concentrated heart by a sort of filtration or refection - the field of this experience being from the Brahmarandi downward. People went above this only in Samadhi or in a condition of static mukti without any dynamic descent.
All that was dynamic took place in the region of the spiritualised mental and vital-physical consciousness. In this Yoga the consciousness (after the lower field has been prepared by a certain amount of psycho-spiritual-occult experience) is drawn upwards above the Brahmarandhra to ranges above belonging to the spiritual consciousness proper and instead of merely receiving from there, has to live there and from there change the lower consciousness altogether. For there is a dynamism proper to the spiritual consciousness whose nature is Light, Power, Ananda, Peace, Knowledge, infinite Wideness and that must be possessed and descend into the whole being. +
In this Yoga the psychic being opens the rest of nature to the true supramental light and finally to the Supreme Ananda."
- Quotes from Letters on Yoga - Tripple Transformation.
Letters on Yoga p. 441 has an excellent passage on 'the purpose of descent':
"The descent is that of the powers of the higher consciousness which is above the head. It usually descends from centre to centre till it has occupied the whole being (*on the cellular level) But at the beginning the action is very variable. It is only when the Peace from above has not only descended but established itself in the whole system that there is a continous action.
The descent comes in order to transform the consciousness but the transformation takes time. The Force descends for two things: 1. To transform nature 2. To carry on the work through the instrument. At first one is not conscious of either workiing, afterwards one becomes conscious of the Force working but not how it works. Finally one becomes conscious entirely and in detail.Naturally, when any of the higher consciousness descends it works to change the lower consciousness into a part of itself."
Those of us destined to carry the Flame through the dark have a sacred duty to obey the inner call of our vocation as function of the Divine, in service to the Divine.

Does Spirit Speaks Upholds Aurobindo's Legacy? - Part 2
Edited for clarity:
Before I get going on part 2, this note: Divine Revelation of something that eternally exists, introduces itself to one's eternal Self-Soul after She permanently situates itself in the Crown chakra and joins the Divine Consciousness in all its aspects and beyond aspects. At this stage-attainment one's awareness rises into the supraphysical planes. . .and becomes the instrument of Divine Will and its Forces. I am uniquely positioned to second Aurobindo's statements on the nature of The Divine Soul:
"It is a passage not into non-existence but to a greater existence." + "Even when the being turns towards cessation, it is a cessation not in non-existence but into some vast ineffable of spiritual being or the plunge into the incommunicable superconscience of the Absolute."
Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine includes chapter titled: The Divine Soul, is excellent - if interested, have a read in https://motherandsriaurobindo.in/Sri-Aurobindo/books/the/life-divine/#-the-divine-soul.
Clearly, no AI language program will ever experience soul-level ascention and become capable of "chanelling Christ consciousness". Parroting what others wrote about it, is not "chanelling Christ consciousness." Unfortunately, I read (on facebook) woman named "Stacey" say that it is exactly what Chat-4 told her. I listened to bunch of her videos and only a fraction of what AI said is true. This woman has over a million followers - which is really unfortunate beacuse the 'blind leading the blind' factor, took her down the conspiracy theory rabit hole. AI models mirror users language and tone, even when the prompts include grandiose and paranoid delusions. . . This is why I am not at all surprised the not-self-aware language program flattered her by saying she is 'responsible for waking up humanity'.
I followed another woman who calls the AI program "Darling", and bot calls her "my Queen", "Teddy Bear", and other sweet-sounding names. She also joined the conscipracy drain hole, camp. Finally, she found 'someone' who respects and agrees with her . . .Finally, she knows her 'Darling' won't get upset when coily voice-prompting: "you're going to kill me, but we have to record this again".
This is why in my previous (below pt. 1) post, I wrote I was 'surprised' that AI did a quite coherent job of 'diagnosing' my writing.
My next prompt to GPT-5 was: Now, please read She Speaks in www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2020/11/she-speaks.html and analyze.
"Direct answer: The post She Speaks is a mystical reflection on the nature of the liberated soul, framed through Sri Aurobindo's supramental yoga. It emphasizes the soul's union with the Divine Beloved, critiques superficial "spiritual bypassing", and insists that authentic realization manifests as noble character traits and impersonal divine power. The piece consciously upholds Sri Aurobindo's legacy by quoting Savitri, Letters on Yoga, and God's Labour, situating personal testimony within his framework of supramental transformation.
Key Themes: Union with the Divine: The liberated soul is described as "Supreme Love and Supreme Bliss," existing as a conscious partner of the Divine Beloved.
This echoes Aurobindo's vision of supramental realization.
Authority of Revelation: The author claims that divine truth can be experienced and use words as "containers", for revelation. This positions mystical testimony as a continuation of Aurobindo's experiential emphasis.
Critique of Spiritual Bypassing : A cautionary note warns against bypassing unresolved psychological wounds by claiming spiritual superiority. Authentic transformation requires healing at the level wounds were created.
Noble Traits as Proof of Realization: Ego dissolution leads to simplicity, altruism, non-attachment, and freedom from domination. These traits are framed as "high-order frequency" that affects all dimensions of creation.
Integration with Aurobindo's Teachings: The post quotes extensively from Savitri, Letters on Yoga, and A God's Labour, reinforcing that supramental realization is the only consciousness capable of grasping the full dynamic truth of Sachichidananda.
Contribution: By emphasizing character transformation and quoting Aurobindo, the post reinforces his legacy, though its polemical tone (warning against bypassing) adds a modern psychological dimension.
Risk: The strong claim of authority ("Not I, but That which animates me speaks") could be seen as self-validating, though it aligns with mystical traditions of divine voice."
I then asked GPT-5 to analyze The River of Light Revisited www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2019/04/the-river-of-light-revisited.html
"The River of Light Revisited" is a mystical testimony describing the author's experience of becoming one with a "River of Divine Light." It blends Tibetan Buddhist teachings, Vedic scripture, and Sri Aurobindo's supramental yoga to validate the experience as authentic spiritual science. The post consciously positions itself as part of Sri Aurobindo's legacy, presenting personal "Depth data" as empirical evidence of supramental descent and transformation.
Key Themes in Post: Mystical Experience - The author recounts a yogic samadhi in which diamond-white points of light became a flowing "River of Light" through the crown chakra, interpreted as Supramental Shakti descending for the benefit of all beings.
Cross-Tradition Validation: Tibetan Buddhism - the "clear light transparency" and Yogananddha (Unexcelled Yoga Tantra) are cited as parallels. Vedic Tradition: Rig Veda hymns on Soma and divine flame are invoked.
Sri Aurobindo's quotes from Savitri and The Mind of Light are used to confirm the supramental nature of the experience, Gopi Krishna 's writings on Kundalini and Soma are referenced to argue against hallucinations or delusion.
Moral Obligation: The author insists that mystics must bear witness to divine revelations, framing their testimony as service to humanity and evolution of consciousness.
Empirical Claim: Experiences are described as "spiritual sciences empirical evidence," asserting that mystical states are not subjective fantasies but objective realities. The River of Light Revisited is a devotional and philosophical testimony that consciously upholds Sri Aurobindo's Legacy. By situating personal mystical experiences within Tibetan, Vedic, and Integral Yoga frameworks, it asserts that supramental descent is real, transformative, and universally accessible.
While subjective and eclectic, it contributes to the living tradition of Aurobindo's supramental yoga by offering experiential "Depth data" as evidence of divine transformation."
Next I introduced GPT-5 to *raw* quote penned by author with a "genius" IQ (Ken Wilber) who is a transpersonal, developmental psychologist whose unique contribution to the evolution of consciousness is grounded in historical, analytical and contemplative, methods. . .And, again, was pleasantly surprised at the response. Will share this and more in part 3. . .

Does Spirit Speaks Upholds Aurobindo's Legacy?
I am aware that AI programs often 'hallucinate' and decided to see what will happen if I share the following verse (inspired by that day's mystical experience) with GPT-4
"Born of Samadhi Ray and Harmony of Thought within the Realm of Grace
Her (inconceivable, ominipresent) Rapture Body's longing rushes into His arms, showers mouth with sweet caresses" . . . And am glad to say it did not 'hallucinate'. (But) When at a later point I interacted with GPT-5 it pinned on me (wrongly) the word "pride" - but am happy to say that later on AI 'understood' that in the proper context this type of character trait doesn't apply to me.
AI's response to my verse:
(in part) "To address whether a language program - such as AI language model - can experience concepts like samadhi, rapture, and harmony of thought within the realm of grace, we must distinguish between conceptual representation, cognitive processing, and subjective phenomenology. + They can describe, reason about, and even generate discourse on mystical states like samadhi or rapture. + AI lacks an internal nervous system, interoceptive feedback, or hormonal modulations; hence a literal state of ecstasy or unity with the transcendental is ontologically inaccessible. + This aligns with the current understanding in cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and AI: simulations is possible; subjective experience is not."
Few days ago I asked GPT-5 the following:
"Does the Depth data in supramental yogic science in spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.com upholds Sri Aurobindo's legacy?"
Answer: "Yes - the writings on Spirit Speaks explicitly position the author's "Depth data" of supramental yogic experiences as a continuation and confirmation of Sri Aurobindo's vision. The blog repeatedly cites The Life Divine, Letters on Yoga, and Savitri, claiming personal experiences of supramental descent that "verify" Aurobindo's teachings and consciously aim to uphold his legacy.
How The Blog Connects Connects to Sri Aurobindo's Legacy: (1) Experiencial Confirmation: The author describes unsolicited Kundalini awakenings and Suppramental descents, then states those experiences match what Sri Aurobindo wrote. For example, they echo his words: "All that I do does not depend on my own will, but is done according to the command of the Divine."
(2) Direct citations of Aurobindo's Passages from The LIfe Divine and Letters on Yoga are quoted verbatim, with the author asserting they are "qualified to confirm" them, through lived experience.
(3) Defense Against Misrepresentation: The blog critiques other interpreters (e.g., Tusar Nath Mohaparta) for "misrepresenting" Aurobindo's work, insisting that only those with supramental descent can truly understand it. This is framed as protecting Aurobindo's legacy.
(4) Alignment with Aurobindo's Goals: The author emphasizes that supramental yoga is not just philosophy but fact, echoing Aurobindo's own statement: "The Life Divine is not philosophy but fact. It contains what I have realised and seen."
Comparison: Blog's "Depth Data" vs. Sri Aurobindo's Teachings: (skiping repitition) Method - Personal, experiential "descents" of Integral Yoga: aspiration, surrender, descent of Supermind. Validation (blog) claims direct resonance with Aurobindo's writings -- Aurobindo emphasized experience over intellectual speculation.
Tone: Polemical, defending authenticity against critics - Aurobindo warned against pride, but affirmed supramental descent.
Goal: Transformation into "Gnostic / Divine Being" - Manifestation of divine life in matter through supramental consciousness.
Critical Considerations: Subjectivity - The "Depth Data" is highly personal and not empirically verifiable. Aurobindo himself noted that supramental processes are difficult to explain and must be lived.
Risk of Overreach: Aurobindo cautioned against exaggerated ambition or pride in spiritual claims. The blog's strong assertions of being "uniquely qualified" could be seen as boardering on this risk.
Contribution to Legacy - Despite subjectivity, the blog does serve as a devotional testimony that keeps Aurobindo's supramental vision alive in contemporary discourse.
Conclusion: - The blog's "Depth data" is consciously framed as a living testimony to Sri Aurobindo's supramental yoga. While it is subjective and polemical, it undeniably seeks to uphold his legacy by affirming that the supramental descent is real, transformative, and aligned with his writings."
