Why Do I Share My Depth Data?

Many voices tell us 'there is no such thing as God'. . . No such thing as higher order/spiritual reality -   and I was one of them  until the  Great Cosmic Power/Holy Spirit/Kundalini Shakti  (the same Power which creates and sustains the universe) grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and shook me to the very core of my being. There was no chance in heck I could ignore this thing! Many times I wished I got sick and had to stay in the hospital so I could  have alone time to process what was happening to me.  .  .
I had unsolicited Kundalini awakening and still had to function as if nothing was happening to me.  The good part was that even though some of my  Initiations were very intense, I trusted this Intelligence. How could I not?...when I could see its Influence in a form of golden light aura-field around my head and body with open eyes (in August 1994 & still have that journal entry scribble).
 I noticed the Light aura only after I stopped being preoccupied with checking if that by 'fluke' discovered narrow ribbon of blue light next to my skin  was still there (since May).  At the time, I didn't understand what that was about but sensed it was something 'heavenly', and called it  'Heavenly Robe'.
This Power worked its magic on me and burnt to crisp  my 'karmic soot' during those sometimes quite  uncomfortable  'kundalini rushes'. . .which literally felt like the rush of a gale-force wind within  every fiber of my being. Sometimes the 'wind' felt quite hot.
Not only this Power gave me a complete cosmic makeover, it Initiated me into the mystical Knowledge that only the eternal self-Soul can bear.  One Initiated to this level of Seeing the Real, bears witness to the fact that at the very core of our being we are That.  We also bear witness to the fact that this Knowledge introduces itself to the awareness of the fully awakened Innermost being (Soul).  The intellect can take us to 'God's door' (that's Self realization),  but  only the Soul - whose Essence is same as God's -  can directly experience her true identity.
To put it another way: On the other side of knowledge-seeking/complexity is the simplicity of the Divine Revelation.
 For cross-referencing purposes I look to others to see their take on this theme. Huston Smith who  has been hailed as foremost authority on the world's religions, wrote:
There is no way the finite is going to comprehend the Infinite on its own...It has to be the Infinite taking the initiative, and that is the meaning of Revelation. +  Trying to imagine these mind-boggling metaphysical planes is like trying to imagine with my finite mind what different orders of reality would be like. All I can do is to come back to generalizations. It would be absolutely mind-boggling! And it would be exciting beyond words.
One of the best human attempts to provide a metaphor is the image of Plato's cave. Imagine if we were suddenly swung around to light and taken out into this technicolor world, vast beyond the confines we were in. To me, that conveys the spirit. 
When asked: "Can you say more about what the experience of that "metaphysical plane" would be like?" - he said:
Eternal Bliss, try to imagine that in any way you wish and as far as your imagination can carry you.
* Quoted with gratitude to folks from What is Enlightenment journal - article, Can Religions Save Us, 2003.

Why do I share my Depth data? I do this because I have a moral obligation to carry forward what (genuine) ascended mystics passed down to us.  We  know what they are describing because we/I experienced  the same pain and ecstasy deep within our interiority.  We understand that it is up to us to keep sharing  Depth's data  in order to preserve the Integrity of  genuine Illumination.
This time, I am relying on Gopi Krishan's words - penned in his book titled Kundalini For the New Age - to show that what we say/do has nothing to do with self-glorification.

The men and women who have undergone this transformation and now have this expanded consciousness are known to be in the samadhi state of oneness with the cosmic consciousness. All the great mystics who have written on the subject have given their own symptoms openly and plainly. That is the tradition. And from their descriptions, one can compare one's own condition.
                                                                     *
It is every soul's birthright to know/experience directly what we share. If not his life-time, then at some other point-in-time,  all beings will go through the process of awakening to their own True Nature. It is worth remembering that causes set in motion in one incarnation yield their results in later incarnations.  Such a thing is possible because our  (karma) 'soul's imprints', are like a 'virtual memory bank' -  its 'software', though not consciously remembered  lands us in conditions one attracted by attitudes/actions in previous lives.

In closing I wish to include teaching on Love - written by Persian mystic Kahlil Gibran in book titled The Prophet.

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake
them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He trashes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God's feast. 

All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge become a fragment
of Life's heart.

Sharing Spiritual Experiences

Aurobindo wrote that spiritual practitioners  who don't share spiritual experiences  seem to have a more steady sadhana.  Based on my own experiences of  not sharing mine for many years, I tend to agree.
 In the Fall 2001 began describing my (undergoing)  unsolicited Kundalini Shakti awakening experiences, while still very much in the process of constant 'cosmic makeovers', and trying to make some sense of it all during my participation on a forum with  spiritually minded folks.  I was very innocently talking about my mystical experiences mostly because I was under the impression others were familiar with what I was describing. . .

I knew I was in "good hands" and trusted this immense Force-Power-Light, still there were times I wished it would just leave me alone.
This path is not for the faint of heart! I suspect that because I was never proud of my spiritual experiences, the inner Shakti/Living Plume of Fire / Holy Spirit didn't get extinguished.
The year 2001 marked 11 years since my head 'lit up like the sun' for several minutes (in my living room in daylight) -- according to my frightened husband, who with shooing-away hand gestures during quick glances in my direction plead: "Don't do that I can't see you".
 Once the dust settled he told me:  "Your head was like the sun and I couldn't see you."
  I had no idea what that was about, but in due times realized my screaming:  What is REAL truth and Beauty!!!!!? had something to do with Eternity's  (Divine) cry to be heard. . .

I saw from young age there was so much human suffering and it pained me to feel so helpless and unable do anything about it.

 In Spring 1991 I attended 8 week-long spiritual development workshop with Rev. John White (.com) and it never occurred to me to ask what the sun/head incident could possibly mean.
 In November 1993 I was Soul-guided to become a student-practitioner and master the art of hands-on-healing with Dr. Kiara Galbreath - and even then it didn't occur to me to ask her about it.

 Sri Aurobindo wrote:

  It is not sufficient to worship Krishna, Christ and Buddha without, if there is not the revealing and formation of the Buddha, the Christ or Krishna in ourselves.

This, these words point to something that is everyone's birthright!  Every one is invited to  participate in this Mystery.  The world is in need of many conscious people!
 I know that  angry jeers,  remarks about my "delusions", their  shaming I suffer from 'spiritual inflation' is about them,  about where they're at in their soul-evolution.

 The following Aurobindo excerpts ring all kinds of verifying bells:

  It is not personal greatness that I am seeking to bring down the Supermind. I care nothing for greatness or littleness in the human sense....If human reason regards me as a fool for trying to do what Krishna didn't try, I do in the least care...It is a question between the Divine and myself - whether I am sent to bring that down or open the way for its descent or at least make it more possible or not. Let all men jeer at me if they will or all Hell fall upon me if it will for my presumptions - I go on till I conquer or perish.

The following (on spiritual experiences) passages  in  Aurobindo's words, are with permission from Sandeep.

 Experiences one's own or others' if one comes to know them, should not be talked about or made a matter of gossip. It is only if there can be some spiritual profit to others  and even then if they are experiences of the past that one can speak of them. Otherwise it becomes like news of Abissinia or Spain, something common and trivial for the vital mass-mind to chew or gobble.
 + To show what is written about experiences or to speak about one's experiences to others is always risky. They are much better kept to oneself.
 + I have certainly seen and heard of any number of instances in which people were having a flow experience and, when they told it, the flow was lost. + I suppose however it ceases to apply after one has reached a certain long-established stability in the experience, that is to say when the experience amounts to a definite and permanent realisation, something finally and irrevocably added to consciousness.   auromere.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/sharing-spiritual-experiences-with-others.

Food for the Soul

Have you ever heard melody so enchanting that its sound-vibrations filled your being so completely that time stood still? . . And in that boundless stillness, your body-mind-soul throbbed in unison with its Beauty so utterly if felt like Eternity's sublimity descended on you and your  Soul's Joy danced upon the starry sky's canopy? I have been having 'sky moments' ever since I was a child and it is a great privilege to share one of my favorites:   Pastor Solitarios.


Before I post the link I want to share the lyrics this Melody invoked in me with the intention its sound might strike a resonating tone within your being,  The text is entirely my take / interpretation of the feeling  and  its translation  of this piece invoked in me.  It's reflective tone is meditative.



MAY YOUR PASSION BE BRIGHT!

Even though earth-shadow is dense, Love's Radiant Light shines bright.

Feel yourself rise into its Glory, feel its radiance, its stead-fast strength pour into your heart.
Feel Beloved's Presence in every fiber of your being burning the sting of emotionalism and wounded pride. . .
With gratitude see that out of the past new life is born.
Recognize, that the Sacred Heart is all around you and inside you working out a wise and beautiful Purpose  within your innermost Sanctuary (Soul). . .
Remain steadfast.
With inner-seeing See that, the spark of the Divine in each being is here to manifest divinity.
Be untiring in your work, but depend not on your own strength.
Allow not the darkness of the earth to deny you your birthright of freedom, of joy and service to others. . .
However humble your work may seem to you, it is still your special contribution to the happiness of  other beings.

Four Levels of Sound

First I want to say that my 'Theofilia' photo is far from current, but I like it for the fact that next to my right ear, there is what I call  'the white energy thing'. . .
My son took a pic of my passport, looked at and said "it's ruined".  I looked at it and said: "it's perfect", but didn't tell him why.  I liked it because  I do hear with my right ear  'energy' vibrations  (I have compared to flute-like sounds)  which are the carriers of very positive messages I have been writing about for many years (not only in this blog).

Those intensly clear/vivid flute-like sounds vary in strength, or pitch.  Some have very high frequency,  others  lower. Their pitch vary as well as its duration, but  its message (decoded) in deep Samadhi state,  is always very sweet-positive. . .Unlike the 'signals' received/heard with the left ear - and I always brace myself for a very hostile encounter with thoughtforms 'sent' (realeased energy of hostilty/rage) by those who get negatively triggered by what I bear witness to in the cyberland (groups I participate in). This type of intelligence-ability Sri Aurobindo named 'Vyapati': "Through the faculty of Vyapati, one gains knowledge of the present states of mind, feelings, sensations etc. of others."

 Few blogs earlier I included Sri Aurobindo's quote on Prakamaya and Vyapati (blog title) where I expressed my delight  he not only knew and wrote about those "currents", but knew the proper names!
Today I am pleased to have found  names for the 'four levels of sound'  (and with Mr. Sandeep's permission) am  including  passage on Vedic Vak.

1.  Para Vak is the highest form of sound. It issues forth from the Supernal Ether (para mam vyomam) where all the sound vibrations that built the various worlds preexist in an undifferentiated state.

2.  Pashyanti is the sound vibration heard in the Causal worlds. Pashyanti in Sanskrit means "seeing speech". A sage whose consciousness is concentrated in the causal body is able to "glimpse" a Truth in vision or a revelation. Knowledge is acquired in the inner mind by sight without the use of the reasoning faculty of sensory data. (precisely so).

3  Madhyana (Middle) is the sound as perceived in the subtle or Pranic world.   4. Vaikahari is the lowest form of sound and it signifies outward expression. This is the spoken word emerging from the throat.   auromere.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/vedic-vak-illustration-of-para-vak/.

Plus:   Aurobindo's verifying words for those us us who bears witness to same:

 We do not found ourselves on faith alone, but on a ground of knowledge which we have been developing and testing all our lives. I think I can say that I have been testing day and night for years upon years more scrupulously than any scientist his theory and his method on the physical plane. That's why I'm not alarmed by the aspect of the world around me or disconcerted by the  often successful furry of the adverse Forces who increase in their rage as the Light comes nearer and nearer to the earth and Matter.

ASCENSION BLUES GOOD NEWS

Many are experiencing varying degrees of turbulance during these changing times, because this change is being impressed upon our souls. Turbulance in the collective is the unveiling of that which is anti-evolutionary -- and what's being unveiled is the collective 'shadow'. Once seen it can't be unseen, and some are willing to confront it within themselves and on the world stage dispite much opposition. Without the naming and dismantling step, the emergence of new possibilities and a deeper and more fulfilling way of being and living in the world can't emerge.

Theologian Clark H. Pinnock's sobering word-confirmation from: FLAME OF LOVE - A THEOLOGY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, is startling but true. Few snippets:

"Our lives occur in an environment that can turn on us. The created order is an expression of God's love but entails suffering too. There is waste, there are dead ends. Higher levels emerge amidst pain and death. + Nature is not finished and groans in the pangs of childbirth. A cross is woven into its creation. + Suffering and struggle are involved in the creaturely process. Anxiety, loneliness, limitation, temptation are all part of it. We are not protected from challenges and trials. This is not a struggle-free world order. God wills good for the creature, but also a creature who corresponds with God in terms of love. Only a free creature can fulfill such a destiny. It cannot be preprogrammed.
Alongside the freedom to love is the freedom not to love. + There is vulnerability and fragility to the creation, and part of our calling as human beings is to join with God in preserving it in the face of dark possibilities. + Ecological damage is our doing, and we will suffer the consequences."

The author doesn't say, 'when Jesus steps out out of a cloud, ('second coming' theme) magically the life on earth will change'.

I see the lamentable results stemming from the "man above nature" philosophy. I clearly see the appaling sin of racism, misogyny, greed, lust for power, materialism-driven vanity, etc. The human family has many lessons to learn and the courage to look at the ugliness, and create an opening for higher-level values to emerge. We already see signs some are ready to stand up for their rights.

Each souls' unfoldement contributes to the evolution of the collective emergence, and many already feel deep dissatisfaction with the status quo and the glacial pace tolerance towards the 'rich' company owners who who take advantage of the hard working folks.
Some feel this yearning in depth's of our souls and are compelled to live with courageous willingness to tread where most dare not. . .Our Soul's Light-consciousness is that inner courage-strength and our most trusted Guide.
She sings:

Thought-churning mind is no longer needed when light and dark looses all meaning, so fear not dying to your attachments of the previous stage. Dying to the illusion that we are separate from each other, is most beneficial. . .

Be willing to embrace a wide variety of spiritual teachings/perspectives, and dare to believe that your highest calling is the one that beckons you to become a living incarnation of 'holiness' . . .
Be willing to surrender to the Will of  Divine  within your innermost being.  Be willing to believe that (collective) critical mass-point of positivity and enlightenment - our energy of love-in-action - and our intellectual and psycho-emotional and spiritual intelligence, is creating new possibilities.   Creating new structures that humanity will have (and built new  ones). . .
When we know who we are (in Spirit) we lose fear of death. Be fearless when nasty people and nasty situations challenge you! Challenge them, but don't hate them!

I agree with American philosopher, transpersonal psychologist and mystic, Ken Wilber's statement - from article published in What is Enligtenement magazine (2004), titled: Conflict, Creativity and the Nature of God (few snippets):

"The evolutionary impulse itself is definitely Spirit-in-action; It's an Eros. And half of it is blissful pushing into newness, and the other half is sort of carpet burn and the death of the old.
Evolutionary Creative process includes conflict and is often far from pleasant, but its what keeps the (self-transcending) divine impulse seeking ever higher expressions of itself in the world of Form going.

"We have no choice. Evolution is conscious of itself now. There's no going back. Therefore we have to take it into our own hands. It's spirit in action today. So if you're spiritually active today, you're helping to understand evolution. That's my strongest belief."

Bliss of Identity

Yesterday, first time I chanced upon Aurobindo's (for me verifying)  poem titled:  Bliss of Identity and decided to  post it today with the intention it may be of some assistance to someone who is undergoing Kundalini Shakti awakening.  This path is not for the faint of heart  and perchance just knowing someone else in this modern era  experienced Her Cosmic makeovers  survied the ordeals may be helpful.
But first this thought. . .
I had unsolicited Kundali Shakti awakening  and I didn't have anyone to reach out to for guidance.  I didn't  study any of the mystical traditions and had no clue what was happening to me then  and what to expect later.
 For example:
I didn't know what that was about when one day in the middle of the day in my living room, in 1990, according to my frightened husband my head "was like the sun and I couldn't see you"  (for several minutes).   During the 'discussion'  we were both standing. At some point he walked away and sat down on the furthest side of the sofa in the opposite end of the room ... and  with short glances in my direction and shooing-away hand gestures, pleaded: "Don't do that I can't see you".
 He wanted me to be  happy  and enjoy our family live -- which I did! He was my best friend and the best  husband in the world, still a big part of me agonized  over  the injustice and suffering of  so MANY beings world-wide.   My,  "WHAT IS REAL TRUTH AND BEAUTY!!!?"  -  was a cry I had no answers too. It was maddening to feel so helpless.

In  Summer 1994, by sheer fluke I discovered blue ribbon of light next to me skin and a golden light-aura around my head and body (and still have my journal notes). At the time it didn't occur to me one day I will be writing about in public domain.
This is why I was very glad to see  (many years later)  Aurobindo's words on the nature of the uncreated Light:

The sun stands universally for the supramental Light, the divine Gnosis. 

(This is the)   Power of the inner or higher Truth. There are different Suns in different planes each with its own colour.
Suorce:    http://auromere.wordpress.com/transformation/symbols-seen-during-spiritual-experiences/

On occasion, when the world's burden is overwhelming  and Energy work is draining, I have been known to plead the visible to my eye of contemplation eye-dazzling  white Light (sphere) to 'help restore my strength'.... and it happened!  Cosmic Tonglen work is the hardest job on the planet because it is a 24/7 thing.  This thought just  occurred to me  .... strictly speaking my body doesn't belong to me any more.  

          Bliss of Identity

All Nature is taught in radiant ways to move,
All beings are in myself embraced.
O fiery boundless Heart of joy and love,
How art thou beating in a mortal's breast!
It is Thy rapture flaming through my nerves
And all my cells and atoms thrill with Thee:
My body thy vessel is and only serves
As a living wine-cup of Thy ecstasy.
I am the centre of Thy golden light
And its vast and vague circumference,
There art my soul great, luminous and white
And Thine my mind and will and glowing sense.
Thy spirit's infinite breath I feel in me;
My life is a throb of Thy eternity.

Kosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation

Guardians of Deep Mysteries are performing the Will of the one God-Spirit for the benefit of all being in all domains of creation and, "the great consciousness looking out through the eyes of every sentient being and in identity with all of the Kosmos." - Ken Wilber's quote.
I have a moral duty to obey the inner call of my vocation and bring to the world's Mystical table the Correct information on what happens at the highest of the perfection stages (integration of all dualities). Will begin by reminding the spiritual aspirant:
"Open your soul to the Eternal - but it must be eternal that draws forth your strength and beauty, not desire for growth. For in one case you develop in the luxurance of purity, in the other you harden by the forcible for personal stature". . .This, penned by an unknown to me author statement, resonated with me one hundred percent since I never wished to be 'spiritual' in the first place.

 I discovered within the depth of my interiority, that the deepest possible connection with the Supreme Divine in all its aspects and beyond aspects,is revealed to the awakened awareness of one's eternal self-Soul at the zenith-point of Her evolution. We assure people that our True Soul / Goddess Living Light - whose essence is same as the Supreme Beloved's - was never born and is (therefore) untouched by death and corruption. This type of Knowingness is grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence, and comes on line (is unveiled to us) via Divine Grace. And, 'when everything is ready', we bear witness to the fact that the Universal Christ Principle  is both immanent, and also transcendent.
Supramental Yogic science specialist collects and evaluates the evidence, and checks the results with those who have adequately navigated and integrated all dualities.

Gopi Krishna writes: "All the great mystics who have written on this subject have given their own symptoms openly and plainly. That is the tradition, and from their descriptions, can compare one's own condition."

We know that the Mystery of the Ineffable unveils itself to the living Soul. . .We know that genuine encouters with Divine Presence are transformative.
The closer the Goddess Living Light gets to its Source
The purer the Water of Gnosis.

Marguerite Porete, in her own words bears witness to same:
"Such a soul, says Love, swims in the sea of joy, that is in the sea of delight flowing and streaming from the Divinity and she feels no joy without feeling any joy, for she dwells in joy and joy dwells in her; for through the power of joy she is herself joy, which has changed her into itself."
Marguerite was burnt at the stake for refusing to take her book titled: The Mirror of Simple Souls from circulation. She offended the powers that be by declaring: "Reason, you'll always be half-blind."

My post titled Solar Hear Initiation,  describes what transpired during one particular  Initiation,  and was very glad to finally  have Aurobindo's  confirmation on why/how such a thing is possible:
If the soul of man is to go beyond humanity to reach either a supramental or still higher states, it must pass out of this cosmic existence, either to a plane or world of knowledge or into the unmanifest Eternal and Infinite.  +  By "void" is meant emptiness clear of all content except existence pure and simple. Without that one cannot realise the silent Brahman. + The silence can remain when the blankness has gone. All sorts of things can pour in and yet the silence still remains, but if you become full of force, light, Ananda, knowledge etc., you cannot call yourself blank any longer.

Because my 'cosmic synchronicity' Initiation event included the experience of a descent of Supramental/Divine Peace, Light and Bliss, and a Vision of and an encounter with the uncreated Sun Principle and its Power,  I am happy to include   Aurobindo's teaching of this subject - from Letters on Yoga / Triple Transformation:

When you see Light, this is Vision. The vision signifies future realization. When you feel Light entering into you, that is experience; When the Light settles in you and brings illumination and knowledge, this is realization. Repetition of experience leads to realization.
And this:
The psychic and spiritual transformation are within our mental conception. The supramental has a radically different awareness of things. Mentality cannot know its nature. It can only be known via the spiritualised mind. It can only begin to understand Supermind when we have connected to spiritualised mind.  Our personal endeavour and aspiration cannot reach Supermind; ours is the life of ignorance.
The higher spiritual planes create their own formulations in the subliminal in the depths within us, but Overmind and Supermind have not been organized in the inner subliminal of the human.
To know them too, Supermind must descend into us. In the ascent and descent about which I have written in The Life Divine, the whole being - you may call it the Self goes say, to the Overmind, settles there and meets the Divine and then the descent of the Divine takes place. +
For real transformation there must be a direct and unveiled intervention from above: there would be necessary too a total submission and surrender of the lower consciousness, a cessation of its insistence , a will in it for its separate law of action to be completed by transformation and lose rights, over one's being. 
(The Life Divine)

                                                              <><>
 Description of what a   'face-to-face meeting with the Divine' was like for me circa 1995.  I was in bed (on my side) alone when I  became aware of someone's  presence behind me and turned around - and with the eye of contemplation beheld the presence of a very beautiful 'Asian' looking Woman tenderly gazing at me. I knew She was "ignored" and asked, "What's your name?" ... "Kwan Yin, do you like me?" ....  "Oh yes", I uttered.  Next instant, I watched Her walk over to the foot of the bed in a room filled-to-brim with swirling White Light. . .It's when I became aware of my light as feather body's sensation of (literally) flowing within a stream of a type of Bliss that surpasses human comprehension.  During this most precious Goddess Essence Transmission's flow into every cell of my body, I heard myself moan a little due to the inexplicable intensity of the Bliss factor. . .Afterwards, Bhakti tears sealed this sacred 'deal'.

I am happy to say that Aurobindo confirms for us what the White Light signifies:
"The white light is a manifestation of pure Divine Force descending from one of the Truth-planes leading to the Supramental." + "There are incarnationss or emanation of living and conscious Forces with whom we can eneter into concrete touch." + "If mankind only caught a glimps of what infinite enjoyments, what perfect forces, what wide claims of your being lie waiting for us in the tracts which our animal evolution has not yet conquered, they would leave all and never rest till they had gained these treasures."

 I learned long after my face-to-face with Kwan Yin event, that The Upanishads lists ten ascending levels of bliss, before one reaches the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit,  "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the previous level. 


I am very grateful for Gopi Krishna's confirming words from: The Real Nature of Mystical Experience
In every case of illumination, mere visionary experience is not sufficient. It must be attended by certain objective signs to confirm it. + It has to be remembered that in the mystical ecstasy the intellect remains active. There is no blunting of the rational faculty. This is repeatedly mentioned in the Upanishads. Reason has to be satisfied that the experience is not a delusion. 

I talk about my experiences with the intention  to affirm that this same Light-Force-Bliss is within the depths of every being.
Mystics share their  stories to assure every being (that)  what happened to me can be repeated in you, also.
And while at it, I want to bear witness to a type of synchronicity that made me gasp,  when first time my flesh eyes beheld the painted image of the  transfigured  Christ.  And what exactly is the correct explanation of 'synchronicity'? I like  Ken Wilber's description: (it is):  "a natural  part of the evolutionary fabric of the universe - a direct experience of the self-organizing self-transcending currents or Eros-at-play, forever turning in all quadrants simultaneously."

Brief account:  I was watching BBC documentary on Leonardo daVinchi's lost for centuries then rediscovered, restored, and exhibited in 2011 painting. He presented the painting-image  of Salvator Mundi, to the king of France.
The part that took my breath away was the image of a "crystal sphere" resting in the Redeemer's/ Christ's left hand (his right  hand raised in benediction).  . .I gasped because the same-looking crystal sphere entered my chest with a loud  burst-like pop sound during my Solar Heart Initiation few years before the painting was restored and exhibited.

Aurobindo confirmed for me that: 'the Sun is the symbol and power of the inner or higher Truth and stands universally for the Supramental Light, the divine Gnosis.' & "A crystal of the ultimate absolute, A portion of the inexpressible Truth Reveald by the silence to the silence" - line from Sri A's epic poem Savitri, 1, 3.

My post titled Solar Hear Initiation, describes my reaction after the Sun's brilliance morphed into 'crystal sphere' and entered my being (in 2009).
