The River of Light Revisited

What I describe in this post is written from the perspective of (the)  "deepest state of the pure soul", as described  (and verified for me) by the Tibetan science on death and dying.  The Tibetan Book of the Death and Dying, is a scientific document.
My copy is translated by Robert A.F. Thurman with forward by H.H. the Dalai Lama.
The following excerpt clarifies what the experience of becoming one with the River of Divine Light, signifies: (later will  describe the experience and include another quote from same source/page).

"Finally, there is the extremely subtle body-mind, where the body-mind duality itself is abandoned. This is the indestructible drop, called "the energy-mind indivisible of clear light transparency." Very hard to describe or understand, and not to be misconstrued as a rigid, fixed identity,  this subtlest, most essential state of an individual being is beyond body-mind duality; it consists of the finest, most sensitive, alive, and intelligent energy of the universe. It is a being's deepest state of pure soul, where the being is intelligent light, alive and singular, continuous yet changing, aware of its infinite connection with everything".

Before I describe what that was (still is) for me, these notes: Custodians of  Divine Revelations  have a moral obligation to bear witness to what introduces itself to the awakened awareness of one's fully ascended Soul. . .
Behind this intention lies a motivation to  carry forward  this 'ancient'  Knowledge into the modern  era and become the agent of empowerment for  spiritually minded aspirants.   I have an obligation  to show  that the Truth-Power of the Divine Grace,  reveals who we are within the depths of our being. To show, that the Transcendent is beyond time, and the Unmanifest is the Source of the manifest.
The 'ancient' Rig Veda seer didn't apologize for what he/she received  (God-Realization / Divine Revelation), and neither do I, because I know I earned what I received by fully submitting myself to the Supreme Divine...and then performing the Will of the Supreme Being.

O Flame, O Wine, your force has become conscious;
You have discovered the One Light for the many.
-Rig Veda 1. 93.4
                                                                     <>
Today, I decided to revisit and upgrade - in 2010 written - The River of Light.  Its present 're-visited'  incarnation includes verifying material I was not aware of nine years ago. I will leave the original where it is,  and/but because this is quite a lengthy post, I will not include Sri Aurobindo's quote (here) from, The Mind of Light.
                                                                  <><>
Because the theme-subject of the highest integration and fulfillment is very complex, each post unpacks but a portion of what happens on this Path without a map.  The reason it is intensely complex, is because my accounts include descriptions of direct contact-experience with  the Kosmic Essence-Energy and its Forces, direct contact with the Kosmic Mind and first-hand perception of all the domains of existence.  These 'accounts' are Spiritual Sciences' empirical evidence.
This  opening statement includes quotes from the Tibetan Buddhism perspective , and Sri Aurobindo's statement on transformation / what needs to happen before one is ready for the Ultimate Erotic Union with the Supreme Beloved.
Will start by saying that only very recently I noticed in The Tibetan Book of the Dead (translated by Robert Thurman) that,  my experience of becoming/flowing out of my Crown chakra as 'River of Light', falls into the fulfillment of the highest perfection stage, category.
The following excerpt is from Glossary:
Sanskrit yoganaddha is the Unexcelled  Yoga Tantra name for Buddhahood, the fifth and highest of all perfection stages, indicating that relative and ultimate, individual and universal, body and mind, bliss and wisdom, male and female -- all dualities are integrated in this experience of fulfillment.

                                                                      ***
(2010)  Today I brought from the library,  the only Aurobindo  book available in this system, titled The Mind of Light. To this day each time I read something penned by him, I am surprised. . .
For years I thought this man's work was far beyond my league, and wasn't even curious to see what his writing was about. This mindset changed when I allowed myself to be curious (the year I began writing here - 2009). Not initially,  but once my brain got used to all those new terminologies, I exclaimed,
 "I already know this because this happened to me!"
I didn't know anyone who  experienced  and wrote about (internet forums)  the things I did. I also  'claimed' nothing.  .   .This is why it was all the more exciting I  finally  had Sri A. writing to check/compare my Soul level (supramental)  Initiatory experiences with -- compare it with someone who got plugged to the domain of,  'I am absorbed in Celestial Samadhi lovingly attached to the Essence of the Supreme Beloved'.
This  stage is reached when one is in permanent Samadhi state and the Nervous/Chakra system uncoils to Infinity thanks to the awakened Kundalini Shakti and its activity.

I named Aurobindo my 'primary peer review person',  even before reading his autobiographical poems titled: The Bliss of Brahman, The Bride of the Fire, or Savitri. The subtlety of significance within the written word the open mind will see, as none other than 'the Communication of the Divine Logos from the source of its Nature without uttering single word'.
The line in Savitri: "A soul shall awake in the Inconscient's house, The mind shall be a God's vision tabernacle, The body intuition's instrument, And a life a channel for God's visible power", is a literal description of something that's not 'supposed to make sense', to the surface mind.
I also resonate with Gopi Krishna's work. Long before I became somewhat familiar with his work, I already knew that my mystical experiences were not the result of the subconscious' mind's dive into hallucinatory, wish-fulfilling formations.
The following excerpt is from his book titled: The Real Nature of Mystical Experience, confirms this for us.
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 delusion.
Precisely.
                                                          <><><>
Description  of what the experience of becoming one with the 'River of Divine Light',  confirmed by one who knew-- prefaced by excerpt from The Tibetan Book of the Dead:

"the being is intelligent light, alive and singular, continuous yet changing, aware of its infinite interconnection with everything. It is beyond all instinct patterns of lust, aggression, or delusion, beyond all duality, one with reality, and one with the Truth Body of all Buddhas."

Today (May 2010)  I am bearing witness to what transpired this AM hour during Yogic/Deep Samadhi state which transcends sleep.  .  . I was on my back with hands resting on mid-body. When my Bliss body's ecstasy reached critical-mass-point, I beheld with the eye of contemplation (Spirit) a vast sea of diamond-white points of Light morph into a 'solid' River of Light...and its endless flow (sublimated Erotic Potency/ Shakti Force-Power-Light)  out of my Crown chakra into world's hologram via subtle planes (for the benefit of all beings in all domains of existence, for the benefit of evolution of consciousness itself)

The literal meaning of what I described is:

I Am Aware
I Am the Anointed & the Anointing One
Self-generating Bliss Of Luminous God-Force
In Loving Oneness With Everything
That's Arising
* The self-generating Bliss', refers to what the Vedas seers named "Soma".
In words of Gopi Krishana on the real meaning of "Soma"

"The real meaning of "Soma" refers to the internal process of sublimation leading to higher consciousness or Samadhi. Since soma is Sanskrit term its interpretation should be based upon the ancient Vedic religious beliefs, not the western assumption of drug use. There is no proof in the Vedas that actually mention any human drinking a herbal concoction" +
"The hymns of the Vedas  are symbolic allegories and shouldn't be interpreted literally, as the Vedas say directly that: "One thinks he has drunk Soma when they press the plant but the Soma the Brahmans know -- no one eats that."

As mentioned earlier one must be in permanent Samadhi state . . .During the 11 to 13 hours I spend in bed every day in a state of intense erotic ravishment (Erotic Potency flowing up and out of the crown chakra) , I am completely detached from 'feelings' because I am in a state of Peace that passes human comprehension...Well, except those very rare occasions when I return to my flesh body too abruptly and feelings get involved.
Soul Liberation is not well understood this is why I have a moral obligation to write about it by giving precise accounts of what happens during the many Initiatory phases. .  .
One who feels the Divine Presence and its governing Power  (manifesting in and through the body), understands perfectly its Nature as well as its action-influence in all domains of creation. We understand that the LAW (Supreme Light-Power-Bliss) that governs the Action-Influence is the Kosmic DNA. . .Without this most blessed Influence, there would be no evolution of consciousness.

We  understand what the term 'I have crossed the abode of life and death', signifies.
Those who submit to Divine Will, know, that at this stage-point in Soul evolution, we are performing the Will of the one Spirit in order to:
 effect a spiritual transformation and bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. +
It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's Kingdom of heaven, our Satyauga - upon earth.
Sri Aurobindo,

I am glad the Upanishad lists ten ascending levels of bliss before one reaches the Bliss of the Eternal Spirit--the Supreme supracosmic Sachichidananda (which is above Supermind)
"and each level a hundredfold the intensity of the proceeding level." Glad, because this topic is not well understood and is (therefore) subject to a variety of misguided interpretations.
I share my Depth data's revelations just like any other ascended mystic/Soul has done no matter the tradition. We demonstrate that this (evolutionary) Great Kosmic Power (or Holy Spirit / Supreme Shakti) flows into the world of Form for the benefit of all beings, for the benefit of evolution of consciousness itself.
I will close this part on this note: The Bhagavad Gita states that 'finding supreme ecstasy is the final goal'.... One whose Soul fulfilled her ancient plan discovers that  Divine Labour is the final goal.

She Is Solitary

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'.

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.
