Spiritual Humility & Sacrifice
The science of Self-knowledge is available to anyone willing to open their soul to the guiding Grace of the Eternal Light / Divine Love -- the only Light that can be shed upon the Path, since nothing that is not of the Eternal can guide you. One who truly lives in (spiritual) humility and sacrifice of one's lower nature attains union with the Divine Being and oneness with the Supreme Divine Nature.
Finding the way to God/Divine Love-Bliss is painfully hard because one has to go beyond one's own being (the things of the world cannot enter the soul).
From the Christian tradition, in Saint John of the Cross' words - on the importance of spiritual humility and sacrifice:
Before this Divine fire of love is introduced into the substance of the soul, and is united with it, by means of a purity and purgation that is perfect and complete, this flame is wounding the soul, and destroying and consuming in it the imperfections of its evil habits; and this is the operation of the Holy Spirit, (same as 'Kundalini Shakti') wherein he prepares it for Divine union and the transformation of its substance in God through love. + In thus allowing God to work in it, the soul...is at once illumined and transformed in God, and God communicates to it His supernatural Being, in such wise that it appears to be God himself, and has all that God Himself has.
*
Genuine saints / ascended mystics world over learned from first-hand experience the importance of spiritual humility and sacrifice of their 'lower nature'. We know that on this Path through the transcendent Light and Sound, we will open our inner senses and Seeing to a variety of visionary and auditory experiences - some of which could be the product of the surface mind's dive into the (hidden to the 'rational' mind) subconscious mind's constructs, but not always.
Sri Aurobindo delved into the topic of spiritual experiences deeply, and because I know exactly what he's talking about, I endorse his view-perspective one hundred percent.
I didn't say that those experiences are always of no value, but they are so mixed and confused that if one runs after them without any discrimination at all they end by either leading astray, sometimes tragically astray, or by bringing one into confused nowhere. +
Then there are experiences that help lead towards the realisation of things spiritual or divine or bring openings or progressions in the sadhana or are supports on the way - experiences of a symbolic character, visions, contacts of one kind or another with the Divine or with the workings of higher Truth, things like the waking of Kundalini, the opening of the Chakras, messages, intuitions, openings of the inner powers, etc.
The one thing one has to be careful about is to see that they are genuine and sincere and that depends on one's own sincerity - for if one is not sincere; if one is more concerned with the ego or being a big yogi or becoming superman than with meeting the Divine or getting the Divine consciousness which enables one to live in or with the Divine, then a flood of pseudo or mixtures comes in, one is led into the mazes of the intermediate zone or spins in the groves of one's own formations. There is the Truth of the whole matter. +
Experience is a word that covers almost all the happenings in yoga; only when something gets settled, then it is no longer an experience but part of the siddhi; e.g. peace when it comes and goes is an experience - when it is settled and goes no more it is siddhi.
Realisation is different - it is when something for which you are aspiring becomes real to you; e.g.you have the idea of the Divine in all, but it is only an idea, a belief; when you feel or see the Divine in all, it becomes a realisation.
Every kind of realisation - infinite self, cosmic consciousness, the Mother's Presence, Light, Force, Ananda, Knowledge, Sachichidananda realisation, the different layers of consciousness up to the Supermind. All these can come in silence which remains but ceases to be blank.
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 Abyssinia or Spain, something common and trivial for the vital mass-mind to chew or gobble. YES!
Last, but not least, Aurobindo's statement on the importance of many types of 'transformative' experiences:
The Divine is in his essence infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If that is so, it is 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. An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature.

Additional information on how to reach the Ultimate Consummation of the ascended Soul with the Divine - Gita style, in Sri Aurobindo's words from: auromere.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/states-of-self-realisation-defind-in-the-gita/
The argument of the Gita resolves itself into three great steps by which action rises out of the human into the divine plane leaving the bondage of the lower for the liberty of a higher law. First, by the renunciation of desire and a perfected equality works have to be done as a sacrifice by a man as the doer, a sacrifice to a deity who is the supreme and only Self though by him not yet realised in his own being. This is the initial step. Secondly, not only the desire of the fruit, but the claim to be the doer of works has to be renounced in the realisation of the Self as the equal, the inactive, the immutable principle and of all works as simply the operation of universal Force, of Nature-Soul, Prakriti, the unequal, active, mutable power. Lastly, the supreme Self has to be seen as the supreme Purusha governing this Prakriti, of whom the soul in Nature is a partial manifestation, by which all works are directed, in a perfect transcendence, through Nature. To him love and adoration and the sacrifice of works have to be offered; the whole being has to be surrendered to Him and the whole consciousness raised up to dwell in this divine consciousness so that the human soul may share in His divine transcendence of Nature and of His works and act in a perfect spiritual liberty.
The first step is Karmayoga, the selfless sacrifice of works, and here Gita's insistence is on action.
The second is jnanayoga, the self-realisation and knowledge of the true nature of the self in the world; and here the insistence is on knowledge; but the sacrifice of works continues and the path of Works becomes one with but does not disappear into the of Knowledge.
The last step is Bhaktiyoga, adoration and seeking of the supreme Self as the Divine Being, and here the insistence is on devotion, but the knowledge is not subordinated, only raised, vitalised and fulfilled, and still the sacrifice of works continues; the double path becomes the triune way of knowledge, works, and devotion. All the fruit of the sacrifice, the one fruit still placed before the seeker, is attained, union with the divine Being and oneness with the supreme divine nature.

Revelatory Absolute
Soul level Liberation grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence corrects materialistic view of Reality by showing there is more to Life than the mind's intellect has access to. Truth is, if we only feel comfortable in a cognitively defined universe, we are blocking off parts of ourselves which can be only accessed in deep states beyond even feelings and intuitions. The spiritual journey requires that we are open to these parts of ourselves because it is through these faculties that we will progress.
My transformation and integration progressed well, this is why I have the spiritual authority to claim:
The Correction introduces itself to the mind whose nervous system / human Chakra System uncoiled to infinity. . .One who bears witness to this performs the Will of the one Spirit - this is why I am not crushed when someone thinks "I don't believe her" . . . Aurobindo and others (my spiritual peers) didn't apologize for their hard work.
Some think my writing 'is not helpful' - and I agree! I agree, that folks who are not in advanced soul evolution don't see value in what I bear witness too. Some either dismiss it, others get negatively triggered and accuse me of 'self-promotion' and other nonsense.
People whose Third Eye and Crown Chakra are open, know what kind of ordeal one goes through. When my Third Eye opened on the subtle and extremely subtle levels, the spot between brows vibrated like crazy and it felt hot-painful -- and was not a one time occurrence, either, since there is vibrational difference between the subtle and the extremely subtle. There is no 'vibration' in the Celestial domain, only Divine Bliss. This happened to me this is why I know that the meaning contained within my written word, is the communication of the Divine from the source of its Being.
Academic whose spiritual intelligence is developed by studies of mystical literature, can talk philosophically from the view-point of the whole in an abstract manner - and because neither the follower nor the academic has any idea what embodied Enlightenment is about, everyone feels 'happy'. Some call this type of happiness divine bliss because they are not aware there are many levels of bliss before one reaches the Bliss of the Supreme Divine. The Upanishad lists ten, "and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the proceeding level."
It is not my job to change anyone's mind. Those who are 'ripe' will see their error.
My duty is to protect what introduced itself to the awareness of my ascended Soul.
I have a duty to bear witness to the Revelatory Absolute - to borrow Sri A term - just like any other ascended mystic (no matter the tradition). I am pushing the evolutionary mysticism boundaries and am glad to have Gopi Krishna's statement on why what we know is important:
The men and women who have undergone this transformation and now have this expended consciousness are known to be in Samadhi state of oneness with cosmic consciousness. All the great mystics who have written on this subject have given their symptoms openly and plainly. That is the tradition.
Anyone who sees the meaning contained in this Savitri verse (book 1, canto V), can recognize Sri Aurobindo was eluding to the Revelatory Absolute - the Intelligence whose larger luster introduces itself to the awareness of the ascended Soul in a supramental plane. . . She knows directly that the Nature of this Luster is Divine Bliss and She is one with it. . .it's Bright silver-white Glory, our permanent home.
Silver Goddess Ray (below) unpacks the 'larger luster' subject from a different angle.
*the Supreme Supracosmic Sachichidananda which is above all*
Interpreting the universe by soul signs
He read from within the text of the without:
The riddle grew plain and lost its catch obscure.
A larger luster lit the mighty page.
*
Once again, I am glad to have Gopi Krishna's words to show that Soul level evolution (through transcendent Light and Sound) is the next evolutionary step for humanity.
Yoga represents a new form of knowledge gained through the operation of a normally dormant, marvelous chamber in the brain, called Brahma-randhra by the ancient adepts, a new form of vision, known as the opening of the Third Eye or Tenth Door or the Sixth Sense, and a new form of ideation, known as inspiration, "Shruti," Revelation, Vahi, Afflatus, etc. In short Yoga represents a paranormal activity of the brain from which all great masterpieces of literature, art, philosophy, science, and spiritual knowledge have originated. . .
I have no words to describe the glory and grandeur of the new state of awareness, which belongs to the accomplish Yogi, in whom the dormant center in the brain has been activated leading to an opening of a new super-sensory channel of perception. . .designed to probe the mystery of creation, beyond the senses and the intellect (1978a:3,7) This center in the brain is the "eye of the soul" described by Plato in the Republic, and its partial or complete awakening provides the channel for communication with the Cosmic Mind, and from there the outpouring of insight and revelation.

Silver Goddess Ray Star of Creation
03/08/2019 Edit-updating this essay by adding (few days ago chanced upon) Sri Aurobindo's poem titled Trance -- because of its verifying content.
*
Decided to copy paste Silver Goddess Ray - while leaving the one in 2010 written stay where it is, because it includes statement on "mysterious cosmic chant" and its "empirical evidence" significance.
I like 'hard' science and have deep respect-appreciation for the brilliant scientific minds. Learning about entanglement (2002) gave me goosebumps, because finally there was something that could shed some light on certain types of mystical phenomena. Brilliant minds, such as Einstein, Heisenberg, Shroedinger, Planck, came to conclusion that the universe cannot be satisfactorily explained without the inclusion of 'something else' - the something which was beyond their reach. Sir James asserted that the only way to explain the nature of ultimate reality is to 'accept that it exists in the mind of some eternal Spirit'.

Recently I watched You tube lecture: Beyond the Higgs: What Next For the LHC? by Harry Cliff and marveled at the brilliance of scientific minds capable of such feats.
I have nothing but great admiration for these folks! And, anyone who reads this blog can see that the science geek in me includes interesting information for other like-minded folks.
The evidence-based Supramental/Inner Science is performed and unveild in the laboratory of one's body-mind-soul complex. At this stage-point, the vanity of intellect's wisdom destroys itself in an empty space of Pure Knowing. Contact with the infinite Ocean of Awareness in all its aspects, includes the (symbolicaly named) Silver Goddess Ray domain. Without its Influence there would be no life, no evolution of biological organisms, no evolution of consciousness.

Without its Influence there would be no life, no evolution of biological organisms, no evolution of consciousness.
* My Depth data's Testimony is a literal statement-description of (Grace-bestowed) Descent of Force-Light-Sound-Sachidananda/Silver Goddess Field into my bodily being, grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence and confirmed by those who are qualified *
This Intelligence/Essence resembles the likeness of a silver-white lighting bolt but has the appearance of a 'Field'. This Field's point of entry is attained at the zenith point of Erotic Rapture - the result of an backward-flowing transmuted Erotic Potency in its highest expression (even higher than what I described in The River of Light = edit-adding this post's revised version www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2019/04/the-river-of-light-revisited.html)
'Silver Goddess Ray' can be poetically named Kosmic DNA since this Field's configuration makes possible for the Divine Transcendent Source-Condition of everything that's arising to exist in the fullness of its dynamism. It also signifies that, the fully ascended being's Soul/Essence-Awareness is not 'divorced' from the Goddess Ray.
This Testimony is a literal statement of what the Divine Logos unveiled to the She who exists to serve the ever-expanding evolution of understanding of the Ultimate Reality in all its aspects. . . which inspired me to write in The Greatest Mystery of All Decoded, the following verse:
Subtler than the faintest atom is the Nature of the
Evolutionary Supporter of All.
Beyond all delusions, the One whose Form is Unimaginable,
Shines like the splendor of many stars.
I can bear this Intensity because the Queen of Bliss
United with Him. . .
One who Knows this, Knows Impecably.
Long before I heard about Aurobindo, or had the Internet, I was given a sign - from the Celestial domain - pointing to the type of vocation I was destined for. I knew it would involve 'hard labor' on the Energy level, but no idea it would be a 24/7 thing . . . And if I knew how hard it would be, I would never say:
'Your Will not mine be done!'
Description of the 'Sign':
I was gazing intently at two bright stars in the dark sky's canopy (first) then their slow spiriling descent. The closer they got to Earth plane, the larger their eye dazling shape-brightness. . .And when they landed in my front garden in all their silver glory, they had the appearance of large 'old fashioned' looking (soil tilling) Ploughs.
Sri Aurobindo's poem titled TRANCE includes the term 'silver-pointed star' which inspired me to 'upgrade' Silver Goddess Ray. . . Though not identical, his 'Star of creation' Vision informs me Aurobindo did ascend to Satchidananda/Pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. This is also why he knew that: "The full dynamic truth of Sachichidananda and the universe and its consequence cannot be grasped by any other consciousness than the supermind." Quote from: Letters On Yoga - Planes and Parts of Being.
A naked and silver-pointed star
Floating near the halo of the moon;
A storm-rack, the pale sky's fringe and bar,
Over waters stilling into swoon.
My mind is awake in stirless trance,
Hushed my heart, a burden of delight;
Dispelled is the senses' flicker-dance,
Mute the body aerate with light.
O star of creation pure and free,
halo-moon of ecstasy unknown,
Storm-breath of the soul-change yet to be,
Ocean self-enraptured and alone!
My poetically named Silver Goddess Ray, introduced itself to my awareness in all its eye dazzling Silver Ray Glory countless times - this is why when I say: What I am describing is the Communication of the Divine from the source of its nature, I mean it literally.
When I say . . . .
I AM AWARE + I AM THE ANOINTED & THE ANOINTING ONE SELF-GENERATING BLISS IN LOVING ONENESS WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S ARISING
I also mean it literally.
The Science of Self-Knowledge is open to anyone willing to open their Soul to the Grace of the Eternal Light - the only Light that can be shed upon the Path, since nothing that is not of the Eternal can guide you.
Subtler than the faintest atom is the Nature of the
Evolutionary Supporter of All.
Beyond all delusions, the One whose Form is Unimaginable,
Shines like the splendor of many stars.

In this state -- which is not a 'feeling', or 'intuition', but a state of being -- one becomes aware of the Immaculate Wideness to which all visible and invisible manifestation belongs.
(The) Lie Destroyer exists in relation to the vibratory Kosmos but is also beyond it. . .where alone the Silver Goddess reigns. Ascended Souls use words as containers into which subtlety of meaning is poured. . .this is why we call it Divine Revelation.
I already know that even if I shouted from roof tops that what I share is not the product of subconscious mind's dive into hallucinatory wish-fulfilling appearances/formations, drug induced 'trips', or clever translation of what others said. . .still it would not incline the materialist to think 'she could be right'. Maybe if I were a man it would be a different story?

Maybe if I were a man it would be a different story?

The main reason I wanted to write today (Feb 2010) is because I want to keep track of the mysterious 'cosmic chant that began several days ago in the right side of my brain hemisphere. This Initiation's ever-present flute-like sound/activity is most vividly heard/perceived (w/right ear) when I'm in bed. Because I am not interested in jumping to conclusions with guesses as to what this might mean, I am happy to patiently wait and see. I already know that those with right ear perceived sweet sounding notes are frequency carriers of loving thoughts and intentions. . .and those on left side, are sound-hertz pregnant with rage/hate (directed at me when triggered by my testimony).

Update: edit-expanded Sep. 14/2013
1. The 'cosmic chant' lasted circa two years. I realized that this Sound Initiation had everything to do with becoming Shabd Yoga master.
2. In August 2013, I chanced upon information relevant to what I was describing in this post with reference to perceiving messages (decoded in deep samadhi) with left/right ear. I was very excited to finally have a validation and a name for something this esoteric.

Quoting with permission from Mr. Sandeep, passages from blog on synchronicity:
The capricious spark of intuition which is briefly flashed during occurrences of synchronicity ripens in self-realized sages into the highly refined powers (Siddhis) called 'Prakamaya' amd 'Vyapati'. It is through Prakamaya that one gains knowledge of "the present states of mind, feeling, sensation etc., of others" and it is with with Vyapati, that we "communicate anything we have in our systems, thoughts, feeling, power, etc., to another". As Sri Aurobindo explained, "every thought, feeling, sensation or other movement of consciousness in us create a wave or current which carries it out into the world-consciousness around and there it enters into a person who is able and allowed to receive it. Half at least of our habitual thoughts and feelings are such unconscious borrowings."

Second Coming
Edit-adding link to Healer's Note, to show that the healer-in-me wishes for one and all to consciously and with self-caring dignity bring forth that which is most noble in us.
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2018/01/healers-note.html
Yesterday I articulated why Jesus' 'second coming' is not possible in the way some folks wish it to be. . .and decided to post here what I wrote in someone's Facebook page.
*BTW, I do believe in rebirth of evolving souls*
The second coming is an actual Event, but it doesn't happen in a way that makes sense to the psychologist or philosopher or religious fundamentalist. . .It happens when one's ascended Soul's separate self-sense 'evaporates' in Celestial Samadhi and is lovingly 'joined' in Erotic Embrace with the Essence of the Supreme Beloved (Sachichidananda) while still in the human body.
How is such a thing possible? In Cosmic Synchronicity and Confirmation, I describe what happened to me (w/links to related posts) www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2013/08/cosmic-synchronicity-confirmation.html
In other words: Being whose Third Eye and Crown chakra is open, is in direct 'communion with the transcendent Reality' - but not in a manner which makes sense to the 'surface mind'.
Sri Aurobindo put it this way:
When the upper lotus opens, the whole mind becomes full of light, joy, power, behind which is the Divine, the lord of our being on his throne with our soul beside him or drawn inward into his rays; all the thought and will becomes then luminosity, power, ecstasy; in communication with the transcendent, this can pour down towards our mortal members and flow by them outwards into the world.
In my post written in 2010 titled, The River of Light, I describe what the 'flowing outwards of ecstasy/evolutionary force-power (transmuted Erotic Potency) into the world' is like
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html
This is not a metaphor, or mental level interpretation of something wishy-washy, but a direct experience and a knowing, which KNOWS that: 'The state of being as limited being has ended for me and now I belong to the Glory in which I dwell as a function of the Divine in service to the Divine and all Beings in all dimensions.'
So, if Jesus Knew who he 'became' and Knew his eternal self-Soul will ascend to the Celestial Glory, why would he aspire to do a 'do over'?
The Shiva Sutras (sloka 4) confirms what the Liberated Soul Knows:
All desire vanishes in that fortunate person whose consciousness is established in his own nature.
For him, the state of being of a limited individual has ended.
Jesus invited folks to, 'pick up your cross and do as I do and greater things will be accomplished'. He never said: 'Do as your pride and lusts wills, because as soon as primitive minds murder me, you will be saved'.
When he said (soon) 'You will look for me, but you won't find me because you cannot go where I will be', he meant 'this won't happen unless you become pure in spirit'. In other words, the second coming is a perfected consciousness of love-wisdom such as the Christ possessed.
Modern day mystic Bernadette Roberts discovered within the laboratory of her body-mind-soul complex, the 'second comings'' significance:
"Beyond self, the revelation is not an immaterial Soul or spirit but, rather the revelation of the true nature of the body as part and parcel of Christ's eternal Mystical Body. This Mystical Body dwells in the glory of the Father and its enlightenment is the Holy Spirit. + Maturity possible only through the Grace of God. The Self, the mature human in a state of union with God, also falls away. + With years of selfless giving, the self is literally eroded away as God consumes moore and more of the human being."
Swami Vivekananda recognized the 'pure in spirit' Jesus' -- his, Grace-bestowed 'my Father and I are one', status, and said: "Had I lived in Palestine, in the days of Jesus of Nazareth, I would have washed his feet, not with my tears, but with my heart's blood". + "It is an irrational claim to believe in the teaching of Jesus Christ and at the same time to hold that the greater part of his teachings have no application at the present time. If you say that the reason why the powers (Divine Siddhis*) do not follow them that believe (as Christ said they would) is becaue you have not the faith enough and are not pure enough--that will be alright. But to say that they have no application at the present time is to be ridiculous."
One who is conscious of Divine Bliss in every fiber of one's being, also feels its Influence (Divine Bliss) and sees Light-aura around head/body (I discovered mine 'by fluke' in 1994 - and still have that journal scribble) bears witness to the fact that one is capable of becoming 'more then human' and earns the right to wear The Robe of Righteousnes. We are the Guardians of Deep Mysteries and have the spiritual authority to remind the world His blood was not spilled in vain. . . remind those who can hear this Message, that everyone is invited to live in Christ Consciousness, that, everyone can aspire to align themselves with the Supreme Universal Law and live in the Passion of Christood on world-stage without distorting spiritual Truth.
"Four Gospels tell about Jesus, to help us place ourselves in the story of our representative. In the epistles the doctrine of representation is explained by the category of solidarity. Jesus represented humanity in such a way that what took place in him could be repeated in us. This is not easy for us to grasp because of our tendency toward individualistic thinking. But it is not beyond us altogether. People serve us on our behalf all the time. Leaders represent us in the corridors of power; doctors and engineers do for us what we cannnot do for ourselves. Representation is is experienced in every social group."
Excerpt from: Flame of Love - A Theology of the Holy Spirit, penned by Clark H. Pinnock
Sri Aurobindo reminds us: It is not sufficient to worship Krishna, Christ, Buddha without, if there is not the revealing and formation of the Buddha, the Christ or Krishna in ourselves.
Paramahansa Yogananda, in his book Second Coming of Christ, (which I became aware of long after I wrote this post) , writes:
"Acension to liberation is not a simple matter of a few affirmations, prayers, or desultory attempts at meditation. It can only be achieved by persistent practice of scientific methods of penetrating the spiritual eye. No soul, no saint, no Christ or Buddha has resurrected himself--at the time of death or in the highest samadhi states of meditation -- without entering this inner door to transcendent consciousness. As soon as one frees the soul from the physical astral, and idea bodies, he can emerge with the Formless Absolute or experience soneness with the Great Light of the universe. That is the light of the Infinite Christ."
In St. Teresa of Avila's words on same theme:
We need no wings to go in search of Him, but have only to look upon Him present within us. &
Christ has no body now, but yours. No hands, no feet on earth, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ looks with compassion into the world. Yours are the feet with which Christ walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which Christ blesses the world.

Spirit & Vacuum Potential Not Same Order
Not everyone can be a math wizard or ballerina, but everyone can start a spiritual practice and discover consciously who one is in the depths of our being. I share what happened on my journey through transcendent Light and Sound, and you can too. . .
You will discover that finding the way to God (by whatever name) is painfully hard because one cannot find God without passing beyond one's being, beyond one's personal history.
Gopi Krishna knew this too:
Spiritual evolution does not imply greater skill in penetrating to the below-the-surface regions of the human mind but in raising it to levels of perception which it never possessed before. It is to this enhanced perception of gifted minds that all humans progress is due.
I use the term 'ascended Soul', often, and hope by now it is clear I don't mean 'higher mind', since higher mind's desires and psycho-emotional drives, are still very much intact. This mind is still evolving and will do so until she reaches the (higher) Psychic - which is: in direct relation with the transcendent Divine and leads the nature upwards towards the Supreme. In Sri Aurobindo's words.
I second this.
I submitted to and trusted Divine Will because I saw and felt I was in direct contact-communion with the Supreme Divine. My Karma placed me in this position, this is why it was very natural for me to obey Her guidance to become Energy worker (Shabd Yoga Master level). If I didn't, my Soul would not have received all manner of Initiations, would not claim 'I became more than human' - due to Enlightenment grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence--and calling myself 'mystic' sounded strange. This is also why I realize I transcended all power offices. . . and became humanities Servant.
Aurobindo's explanation on Soul-support/guidance is great. Based on my own experience it is 'real-palpable' because She . . Feels and knows simultaneously in a more direct and luminous way, by the very purity of its own nature and the divine instinct within it, and so, whenever it comes to the front it reveals at once what are the right and and what are the wrong movements in your nature. +
The psychic stands behind the being - a simple and sincere devotion to the Divine, an instinctual withdrawal from all that is the opposite are its most visible characteristics. + The soul or spark is there before the development of an organized vital and mind. The soul is something of the Divine that descends into the evolution as a divine Principle within it to support the evolution of the individual out of Ignorance into the Light. + It is the soul that is immortal while the rest disintegrates; it passes from life to life carrying its experience in essence and the continuity of the evolution of the individual. It is the whole consciousness, mental, vital, physical also, that has to rise and join the higher consciousness and, once the joining is made, the higher has to descend into them. The psychic is behind all that and supports it. With gratitude, from www.intyoga.online.fr/ppb5.htm
Someone who studied mystical traditions can have a highly developed spiritual intelligence and philosophically talk about it from the point of view of the whole in an abstract manner.
I noticed that people are not threatened by this type of knowledge.
In contrast, the Knowingness of the subtle and extremely subtle domains that introduces itself to the awakened awareness of the ascended Soul, seems very threatening when seen through the lens of self-contraction.
I didn't study any mystical traditions this is why it took many years before I had the confidence to assert anything as I had no one to compare my Soul level experiences with. . .
And everything changed when I discovered Aurobindo's Supramental Yoga. I was (literally) Soul-guided to check out his work. . .and quite shocked when I realized, 'I already know this because THIS happened to me!'.
I had a couple of Soul-level encounters with him encouraging me to 'keep going' when the Internet gaslighters took turn to attack me.
In turn I can confirm for him that the last rung of the mystical ladder can't be reached by 'the exclusive pursuit of a single line of identity' because 'The Divine is in his essence infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If that is so, it is not likely that our true integral 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. An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature.'- Excerpts from: The Synthesis of Yoga.
Rather than repeating what I already wrote in other posts, I am including link to a 'verifying example' (among many others) of what the experiences of being in direct relation/communion with the Divine were like for me 'when everything is ready' and became transparent to its Influence: In plain words I describe what happens during the Descent of Peace, Force of Power, and Ananda/Divine Bliss/Satchitananda in post penned in 2009 titled: Solar Heart Initiation - which has a link to Epiphany Day and I think to Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation. Each post builds on what happened before, so it reads like one essay that took four years to write.

In words of the American philosopher Ken Wilber, confirmation on what every ascended mystic asserts - (snippets) from Excerpt G Kosmos:
"Precisely because the quantum potential is not actually a radically formless or nondual domains, it cannot serve as anything resembling a genuine spiritual reality, but rather is simply one aspect of a manifest realm that itself has qualities and quantities, and hence is not radically Unqualifiable. The wisdom traditions are in strong and virtually unanimous agreement on this point. + "What the quantum mechanics formalisms are catching is a brief glimpse of - in a merely third-person, abstract, mathematical form - is the staggering power of etheric-astral-energy, out of which, as a sedimentation and crystallization, the entire gross material world arises. One version of this is: when the Shroedinger wave function collapses, prana gives rise to matter. + "Quantum potential is not Spirit but prana! + "This is not the union of science and and spirituality, but the union of bad physics and bad mysticism. + "Absolute nondual truth, and relative truth are radically different orders. The Absolute is known only by a direct realization involving a transformation in consciousness and "what" is seen in satori cannot be stated in ordinary dualistic words, other than metaphors, poetry, and hints if you want know God, you must awaken, not merely theorize." w.Kenwilber.com/Writings/PDF/ExcerptG_KOSMOS_2004.pdf

In words of the American philosopher Ken Wilber, confirmation on what every ascended mystic asserts - (snippets) from Excerpt G Kosmos:
"Precisely because the quantum potential is not actually a radically formless or nondual domains, it cannot serve as anything resembling a genuine spiritual reality, but rather is simply one aspect of a manifest realm that itself has qualities and quantities, and hence is not radically Unqualifiable. The wisdom traditions are in strong and virtually unanimous agreement on this point. + "What the quantum mechanics formalisms are catching is a brief glimpse of - in a merely third-person, abstract, mathematical form - is the staggering power of etheric-astral-energy, out of which, as a sedimentation and crystallization, the entire gross material world arises. One version of this is: when the Shroedinger wave function collapses, prana gives rise to matter. + "Quantum potential is not Spirit but prana! + "This is not the union of science and and spirituality, but the union of bad physics and bad mysticism. + "Absolute nondual truth, and relative truth are radically different orders. The Absolute is known only by a direct realization involving a transformation in consciousness and "what" is seen in satori cannot be stated in ordinary dualistic words, other than metaphors, poetry, and hints if you want know God, you must awaken, not merely theorize." w.Kenwilber.com/Writings/PDF/ExcerptG_KOSMOS_2004.pdf
