There is Nothing That is Not God

In Sally Kempton words::::

You are God. Radically non-dual. This utterly free divine awareness manifests this universe inside herself. Consciousness is manifesting itself as you, inside your mind, inside your awareness through your actions, through your process of perception.
Your mind stuff is the same awareness that creates anything.

I'm sure many truly 'get' that without having a 'fundamentalist' fit . . .
I also get why some who belive that so much that, in the name of the Mighty Dollar present themselves as That. Some don't mind forking over $1,000 (american) for a day of fu'k with the "Goddess" (as per my 17th blog) who "insists" they will come crawling back for more.

In the same manner, the spiritually gullible for years and years, forked over their wives , all their money and labour in surrender to God incarnate Franklin Jones as "gifts" to demonstrate their detachment. Franklin proclaimed himself as the last "Avatar" (Saviour.)

&&&&&

Now, (for the record) from the perspective of one who is plugged-in I want to show what it's like to experience directly That. . .
This dawn, twice, and for the longest time, I was bliss-basking in -- (was directly face-to-face with) the SUN a couple of feet distance initially, followed by a complete Mind-melt.

I think some may have called it "Shambhala Sun" . I have called it the "Second Sun" in the past.
There was a time I wondered what the apperance of the SUN meant when my head "lit up like the sun" in the light of day (as witnessed, and in his words, by my husband) but no longer. It is the very "second coming" people of all faiths await...It is the Christ-consciousnes/God-union, within the individual. Any individual.

This 'Second Sun' belongs to everyone, just as the day time Sun does. . .
Anyone, whose priority is anchored in "surrender" to That, can and will, experience same. Belching out holy writings can't do it. . .Surrendering to the meaning within the words bears much Fruit.
(Getting mad at me or anyone else only blocks That energy flow.)

&

For a change of pace, and because I greatly appreciate True Teaching -- once again a quote, or two from The Human Buddha, penned by teacher of Enlightment Anadi (www.anaditeaching.com)

"Presence is nothing but the awakened essence of manifestation. When the manifestation is unconscious it is completly confined to how it 'appears' to be; it is purely identified with its own objectiviztion."

"Realization of the Asolute belongs to consciousness; it is the function of the manifest. The realization of the Absolute is the fifth dimension. Although we might regard presents as not being in time, for it is unceasingly present to the Now, when we go deeper into its nature we see that the touch of time is there. It might seem that Presence knows itself instanteously, but actually this recognition happens in a split second -- it is a function of a subtle time. One needs to be sensitive enough to see it. Presence is the point at which the Unmanifested touches the manifested, which is in time. When consciousness wakes up to itself, the state of Presence is realized; when the state of Presents wakes up, the Unborn is realized.

How does the Presence, which is touched by time, reach the timeless? It is a mystery.
There is a realization which encompasses the knowing of consciousness and the not-knowing of the Unmanifested: the experience of being present and the absence of presence. This realization is truly beyond all that we know.
The Absolute can be compared to the sun, while Witnessing to its rays.
The realization takes place at their meeting point; before the sun becomes its rays there is a gap where the knowing of the Absolute is born. The way to reach the Absolute is surrender. One must drop the centre of Presence into the non-centre of non-presence."

Mucho Thanx Anadi :)
(I printed several pages from Anadi's old website years ago and am glad they re-surfaced recently.)

Where Your Heart is There is Also Your Treasure

I feel quite nourished and inspired   by the message  I was given in Deep Samadhi this Am hour,  during the Visitation from two Tibetan Lamas...One pointed to my eyes, said:   "unflinching when faced with oppression".
  
Yes,  my spiritual  courage  would run dry in a jiff,  and I would burn out like a birthday candle if I wasn't plugged to my Soul's strength  (because the adverse forces are hell-bent on silencing me).

The  Visiting Lamas were  aware (the Enlightened Mind is aware) , that once upon a time I was compelled to get down on my knees and with forehead resting on The Tibetan Book of Death - Liberation Through Understanding In The Between - penned / translated by Robert Thurman,  and asked for Padma's Blessing.

Story time: Once upon time I was  overflowing with gratitude  one day while reading Padma Sambhava's teaching   and the only thing that made sense to me at that moment was to get down on my knees place the closed book on the floor. . .and with eyes closed opened the book before  bowing/resting my forehead on it, before asking for Padma's Blessing .  .   . It seemed like time stood still and everything was fluid  ... with opened eyes I beheld His (tangka image) right hand raised in a Benediction gesture.
 I took this as a real sign - a sign that the Universal Mind responded  to my soul's longing in the way that made sense to me. . . It felt like I received a real Blessing and  wholeheartedly accepted it (with gratitude).
This  kind of  seemingly 'irrational' behaviour has everything to do with  the Heart's intelligence and its 'passionate energy'. . .I treasure these moments.

Silver Goddess Ray

Some cry 'God is dead!'  Love's Messengers (Ascended Soul) task is to  claim otherwise!  One whose ascended Soul unites with Godhead/Absolute Supreme Being,  bears witness to what it's like to consciously come in contact with the Divine Ultimate and its Bliss-Essence/Silver Goddess Ray in all its  eye dazzling silver-white Glory.
This Essence  resembles the likeness of a lightning bolt but has the appearance of a  'Field'. This 'fact' gives us the authority to assert: Without its/this Influence there would be no evolution of biological organisms, no evolution of consciousness.
This Glorious Field's point of entry is possible - for one with open Crown chakra -  at the zenith-point of   Erotic Rapture . . . the result of  an  upwards flowing transmuted  Erotic Potency in its highest Expression, which is even Higher than what I described in The River of Light
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html

Silver Goddess Ray signature can be named  'Kosmic DNA' since this  Field's  configuration  makes possible for the  Universal Mind to exist. It also means that the fully ascended  being's Essence-Awareness is the  Goddess Ray incarnate,  because She is the instrument of Spirit through which She Speaks (speaks from the source of its nature).  

This - my Testimony -  is a literal statement-description of  decades worth of  experiences Kundalini Shakti style -  not  not a translation of something I read in some esoteric text.  Experiencer of the Divine knows that:
Mind cannot go outside its cycle - all ideas of a straight line of movement or of progress reaching infinitely upwards or sidewise into the Infinite is a delusion. 
In Sri Aurobindo's words -  which I second.
 'Goddess Ray' and  its  Mind-Intelligence  introduced itself to my eye of Spirit countless times, this is why/how I Know that its eternal and immutable Nature is part and parcel of our Deepest  Essence in all its eye-dazzling Silver Ray glory:  This is also  why when I say: 'This is the Communication of the Divine from the Source of its nature', I mean it literally.
In this state - which is not a 'feeling', or 'intuition',  but a state of being (permanent in my case) -  one becomes aware of the Immaculate Wideness  to which all visible and invisible manifestation 'belongs'.

The Lie Destroyer  exists in relation to the vibratory cosmos but is also beyond  it . . . where alone the Silver Goddess Ray reigns .  Ascended Souls  use words as containers  into which subtlety of meaning is poured . . . this is what  authentic Divine Revelation is about.
One who I named  (my) 'community of peers', Sri Aurobindo,  expressed same idea by stating:
What you call thinking I never do. I see or I don't see.  +    If a soul of man is to go beyond humanity to reach either a supramental or still higher status, it must pass out of this cosmic existence, either to a plane or world of Bliss and knowledge or into the unmanifest Eternal and Infinite.

The materialist sees my/our Testimony, thinks it is the 'product of delusional mind'  -  sees my poetically framed phrase 'Silver Goddess Ray' as something "poetic",  in a  "mythic" or "magical thinking", sense.   Doesn't mean I am going to allow their jeering and character assassinations  to prevent me from speaking.
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 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?
                                                                   *
The main reason I wanted to write today is because I want to keep track/record of the mysterious 'cosmic chant' that began several days ago in the right side of my brain  hemisphere.  This Initiation's ever-present  activity is most vividly heard/perceived (with my right ear) when I'm in bed.  Because I am not interest in jumping to conclusions with 'guesses'  as to what this type of  Initiation might mean, I am happy to patiently  wait and  see. . .
I already know that  those with right ear  heard sweet-sounding notes are frequency carriers of  loving thoughts and intentions.  .  .and those with left-side perceived  sound-hertz  are pregnant with  pure rage/hate.

*  Edit-expanded September 14/2013

1. Will mention first that,  the 'cosmic chant'  lasted over two years. I realized that this Sound Current Initiation *perceived with the supramental mind* is the Shabd Yoga Master 'signature' -- one out of several Grace-bestowed *undistorted* Transmissions of omipotent Knowledge in all its aspects *such as Descent of Divine/Uncreated Light, etc.*, before one gets permanently plugged to a plane of existence where She remains eternally with the fathomless depth and mystery of the Supreme Beloved. . .not as concept, but 'actually'.

2. In August  2013,  I chanced upon information relevant to what I was describing in this post (with reference to  perceiving 'messages' with right / left  brain hemispheres)  and decided to include - with permission from Mr. Sandeep  - verifying 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' and 'Vyapati'. It is through Prakamaya that one gains knowledge of "the present states of mind, feeling, sensation etc. of others" and it is with Vyapati, that we "communicate anything we have in our systems, thought, 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." Record of Yoga, p.20

Illuminations From Beyond the Intellect

Couple of nights ago, again, my right brain hemisphere was  flooded by  flute-like sound despite very intense 'psychic storms' in the collective.  This Sound's flute-like melody kept humming along without ceasing.  During the day I am aware of it faintly - it is only when I'm in deep Samadhi, its several notes long, fluke-like Sound coming from the right side/ear  becomes really audible. 
I have no doubt that this Kosmic chant current is the carrier of those periodically heard 'signals' I've been hearing with either left brain hemisphere, or right.
My brain hemispheres are not divided. . .
Quick recap on the difference between the left and right side sounds.
The signals/info perceived with my left left brain hemisphere are charged with negative emotions/intentions, directed at me when someone gets negatively triggered by what I say (in cyber land). I  see those thought forms in all their aggressive glory.  I could say a lot more about this, but am choosing not to.
On the other hand, those sweet sounding (right side) flute-like sounds   are  the carriers of  very loving energy-intention/information

* Edit note:  29/08/2017
In 2013 I chanced upon information about this particular type of divine siddhi ("activated in the Superconscious field of the mind" Sri Aurobindo)  called Vyapati and Prakamaya (Divine siddhis) in  http://auromere.wordpress.com/2010/12/sri-aurobindo-on-synchronicity/
With permission from Mr. Sandeep,  including the following excerpt with deep gratitude:

"The capricious spark of intuition which briefly flashed during occurrences of synchronicity ripens in self-realized sages into highly refined powers (Siddhis) called 'Prakamaya' and 'Vyapati'.  It is through Prakamaya that one gains knowledge of "present states of mind, feeling, sensation etc. of others" and it is with Vyapati, that we "communicate anything we have in our systems, thought, feeling power, etc., to another."

Half at least of our habitual thoughts and feelings are such unconscious borrowings".  Record of Yoga, p.20

Today - August 29, 2017 - I chanced upon verifying information on (Divine)  Sound & Light.   The following  excerpts are from:
  http://themotherdivine.com/10/naam-or-word-the-sound-principle.shtml

"In Yoga Sandhya, an elaborate account is given by the practice of "hearing shabd."

*  I practiced nothing - must have in previous incarnations*

"In the Rig Veda and the Athan Veda there are hymns in praise of Shabd."
"A yogin ought to sit in Sidha Asan, and adopting Vaishnavi Mudra, should hear within him the "Sound" coming from the right side."
"The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same Sound allegorically explained. This Sound is the source of all revelation to the Masters to whom It is revealed from within and it is, therefore, that they know and teach the one and the same Truth."

"From the above it is sufficiently clear that all Master-souls, whether Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and countless others, were conversant with the practice of the Word, though they did not necessarily expound it as regular science.
Most of them tell of Anhad Shabd only, leading up to Und and Brahmand or the subtle and cosmic regions. But perfect saints, irrespective of whether they belonged to one religion or the other, have gone beyond this and have spoken of Sar Shabd and Sat Shabd as well, and of regions beyond Brahmand (Par-Brahmand, i.e., Sach Khand, Alkah and Agm Deshas)."

"You can see His Light when your inner eye is opened" & "You can hear His voice when your inner ear is opened."

The following quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surat_Shabd_Yoga

"Those who have mastered this path have finally merged with the Supreme Lord in His Absolute, Nameless and Formless State. The Creator, the Absolute, projects itself into form that assumes two primary attributes:  Light and Sound.
(Shabd, Word or Naam) and Light are primal manifestations of God when he projects Himself into Creation. In His nameless state He is neither light nor darkness, neither sound nor silence, but when He assumes shape and form, Light and Sound emerge as His primary attributes.
-Kripal Singh

* Based on my experience,  Kripal Singh's  assertion is true, but partial.
One whose eternal self-Soul fulfills  her ancient plan at the zenith-point of her evolution, unites with the Essence of the Supreme Divine Beloved...bears witness to new revelation about the nature of the Supreme Being.
It can be captured by this one phrase:
What I Am is Love and What I Have is Bliss
                                                      <><><>
And this - from:  http://auromerepress.com/2009/07/vedic-vak-four-levels-of-sound/

1. Para-Vak is the highest form of sound. It issues from the Supernal Ether (para mam vyomam) where all the sound vibrations that build the various world 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 a vision or revelation. Knowledge is acquired in the inner mind by sight without the use of reasoning faculty or sensory data.

3. Madhyama (Middle) is the sound as perceived in the subtle or Pranic world. A good example of this would be thought-forms held in our mind.

4. Vaikhari is the lowest form of sound and it signifies outward expression. This is the spoken word emerging from our throat.
                                                                     *
 The above mentioned cosmic chant lasted for about 2 years - maybe longer? I'm pretty sure I mentioned when it stopped  in one of my posts.  Whatever it was that needed fine-tuning within my interiority, has reached its apex-point and integrated itself into my body-mind-Soul system. I hear still the constant, crystal- like / extremely subtle spinning sound vibration within  and in my Universal Body (without).
 In conclusion will add that,  this was another type (one of many)  of Initiation into Divine Mystery -  which correlates with what Aurobindo wrote:
Divine condition descends from above, is given by the Divine"  +  "The higher  spiritual planes create their own formulations in the subliminal in the depths within us"  +  (but) "to know them, the Supermind must descend into us."

P.S.  In order to avoid having overly long post, I edit-removed half of it to make room for new material.
Also, it occurred to me to mention that I chose  to use my (not recent) passport  photo-image (profile) my son took a picture of  for a very specific reason.  .   .
 He looked at it and declared it "ruined".  I looked at it, and said "it's perfect" -  but didn't tell him why.  I thought it was perfect, because of the 'white light' image next to my right ear -- the brain-hemisphere with which I hear/receive  sweet sounding messages.

Why Do I Share Stories

This day  in Deep Samadhi,  the I who is  unbounded, heard (telepathically):
 "completely different line of development".  .  .This 'different line of development'  takes place at the zenith-point of one's Soul's evolution  with full awareness and trusting heart.  Much of what passes for 'spirituality', is often nothing but translation of what someone learned from others (and may be misleading).
Those of us who know 'better',  have a moral duty to bear witness to Depth data/Divine Revelation (which  introduces itself to the awareness of one's non-biological/ascended Soul). 
I know that if I was preoccupied with and wanted to feel important in others' eyes,   my Soul-evolution  - grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence - wouldn't happen. Many get triggered negatively by what I bear witness too, but because genuine enlightenment isn't personal,  I  have a duty to obey the inner call of my Vocation. I'm not a writer, still I try to the best of my ability to fulfill the duty I was entrusted with.

I surrendered long ago to the Invitation to follow my non-biological Soul's guidance, whose Essence  (diamond-bright Luminosity) is visible to the eye of contemplation.

The Spiritual Scientist in me is very intrigued by how mysterious, and at the same time utterly ordinary  it all feels.  Ordinary,  in a  'nothing special',  sense, just a higher level of realization.
Some  Visionary experiences strike a deep emotional  chord  because of the potency of their message .  .  .
Example: Today,  a beautiful boy child placed (vertically) on my chest three precious Jewels.
I recognized the subtlety of the significance  of this Vision as:  'integrated body-mind-spirit'.
The Innocent Child  archetype in me  trusted all along that I was "in good hands", and willingly became  a focused Participant.
The Tibetan Book of The Dead - my copy translated by Robert Thurman - has the following description on "integration" in the glossary:
Sanskrit yoganaddha is the Unexcelled Yoga Tantra name for Buddhahoood, the fifth and highest of the perfection stages, indicating that relative and ultimate, individual and personal, body and mind, bliss and wisdom, male and female--all dualities--are integrated in this experience of fulfillment .

It is not possible to describe the full extent the significance of a monumental mystical experience, still I try in simple words, not only describe, but  explain its significance.
I do that,  because  with the eye of Spirit disclosed "empirical evidence/data",  is important.
Example:  (something I shared  before, but will recap again).

Many years ago, my Soul woke up  and beheld with a downcast gaze two white as milk moon slivers...when I looked up the star-studded night sky 'rushed over' to one side unveiling the Presence of the Great God-Light.   * I have been calling it the 'Uncreated Sun' -- which Sri Aurobindo said:  "is the symbol of Divine Truth, it stands universally for the supramental Light, the Divine Gnosis."*
I  knew  that I was standing on the topmost rung of the ladder  before the presence of the Great Sun with a smaller Light on its right side.
I  knew  that a "smart man" was standing next to the ladder. . .Below, a group of  uncouth looking men. One began  speaking to me. I listened with great intent to his "garbled pleading". I knew not what he was pleading, I  knew I would never turn away from suffering.
When I looked up again, there was a sudden movement  where the smaller Light was. Next instant  the image of White Dove (symbol for the Holy Spirit) began its rapid descent  towards me .  . .
I recognized the significance of this most blessed Baptismal and relaxed fully to welcome its Bliss/Essence into my being...Feeling  ripples of bliss-energy radiating  throughout my chest, spreading to every fiber of my being .
Words of gratitude and bhakti tears sealed this most precious 'deal'.
This is what keeps me going -- not my will, or strength, but a super kind of  Energy-Strength-Bliss, which passes human understanding. 
If I didn't share this mystical experiences, it would feel as if I was cheating others of my support. Cheating of:  "See? if it happened to me, it can happen to you also. Not in the same fashion, perhaps, but in the manner suited to your evolution."  
This is the awakened Soul's agenda.  Its purpose is to show that  we are so much more than who we think we are.  If someone is inspired by what I share, all the better.  But  I would never say 'believe  my words, and you will be blessed', or some such. I say perform the injunction, find out for yourself.

I share  my with the eye of Spirit disclosed empirical data, because of obligation to Life itself.
Those who  wake up must carry the evolutionary torch forward. The realization that the evolutionary potential of the Human Family rests on our going forth shoulders,  is what keeps us going.

Epiphany Day

My Webster dictionary states: "in many Christion churches, a yearly festival, held January 6 commemorating both the revealing of Jesus as the Christ to the Gentiles in the person of the Magi and baptism of Jesus."
In my blog titled Solar Heart Initiation, I described my Initiation into Cosmic/Christ consciousness which took place January 6, 2009.  One who knows what 'Union of the Soul with the Essence of the Absolute', means, bears witness to it by describing what the actual  Initiation  was like. In my Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation post, I talk about a type of Cosmic synchronicity that made me gasp.

 www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2009/03/solar-heart-initiation.html
&
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2013/08/cosmic-synchronicity-confirmation.html

This is Soul science data - which ascended mystics bear witness to. Not saying the experience is the same for everyone - I'm saying that, at the end of one's eternal self Soul journey through the transcendent Light and Sound  every Soul will have a direct experience  of  Union of the Soul with the Essence of the Absolute Supreme.   Each in their own words can describe what that was like for them.  What we bear witness to is very precious - and it is for the benefit of all beings and evolution of consciousness itself, in service to the Divine.  At this stage, one realizes our true calling is Service. There is nothing glamorous about this job. Matter of fact it's quite the opposite (for the genuine Master).
Sri Aurobindo words  affirm that Buddha/Christ consciousness is available to anyone who  submits to the  Divine Will  within depth of our being - some may prefer to call it the the Holy Spirit, or something else.
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.

Saint Teresa of Avila taught her Nuns:
Christ has no body but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Your are the eyes through which Christ looks with compassion into the world. Yours are the feet with which Christ blesses the world.

This is not about proclaiming one self as the messiah, this is  bearing witness to who we truly are.
We bear witness to the fact that Divine Truth is greater than any mentally conceived philosophy or religious belief.
We reach out to those who hunger for spiritual uplifting, we feed the hungry. we fight for the dignity of all children , and so on.  Meditation  is a spiritual practice, but so is ministering to those in need.
I know people who are not  at all religious  but their heart-action on world stage is 'saintly'.
                                                                 *
The link to Solar Heart Initiation is working so I will not describe again what transpired on January 6, 2009 - instead,  I will  include  couple of (verifying)  quotes which I was not aware of  when I wrote that blog.
Beholding the higher Light beyond darkness
we came to the divine Sun in the Godhead,
to the highest Light of all.
- Rig Veda

Again - in Sri Aurobindo words:

The true knowledge and description must be left to the language of the mystic and the figures, at once more vivid and more recondite, of a direct and concrete experience. +
The Supermind (Divine Gnosis) itself in the descending degrees of the manifestation emerges from the Ananda.
   * Ananda, or the supreme supracosmic Satchichidananda is above all, even Supermind *

Supermind may be described as its power of awareness and world-awareness, the world being known as within itself and not outside. So to live consciously in the supreme Sachichidananda one must pass through the Supermind. +
The sun is the symbol of Divine Truth, it stands universally for the supramental Light, the divine gnosis. Light is the Light of Consciousness, Truth, Knowledge - the sun is the concentration or source of the Light.  It is the symbol and power of the inner or higher Truth; to see it in meditation is a good sign. +
When you see Light, this is Vision. The vision signifies a future realization. When you feel Light entering into you, that is experience; When Light settles in you and brings illumination and knowledge, that is realization. Repetition of experience leads to realization.

Yogini Notes on Soul Powers

This morn' hour I jutted down  (silently received from mind beyond the mental/cognitive realm)  the following snippet:  You have the intelligence within you, that is you. . .
And, because I am obedient to my eternal Soul's guidance, I decided to focus-flow with this theme and see how it goes.

 Anyone can see my words are not the words of a scholar, and what I share is not really meant to be seen by a scholar  either, since greater complexity (with its own laws)  won't be recognized/comprehended by a mind that is convinced Divine Revelations and its contemplative conclusions are the product of a delusional mind. Mind which never heard about  'transmutation of erotic potency into spiritual force - and its effect on collective consciousness',  will reject Gopi Krishna's words on why we say that natural celibacy  plays a crucial role in Yogic/Supramental science.
In his book  Living With Kundalini,  he asserted:  A Yogi who tries to revert back to sexual conduct after any form of  realization is called a fallen Yogi.
Long  before I saw that  quote, I challenged  Ken Wilber's perspective/idea he presented in his book titled One Taste:  "for ultimate enlightenment, one must take an actual partner--real sex--in order to complete the circuits conducive to recognizing the already-enlightened mind".
I have no problem with this type of Self-realization (which many gurus cling to as well),   but this viewpoint is not the last word!  I know it is not,  and in this blog unpack what the Ultimate Consummation in the embodied sense, is really about. . .The one who writes from the embodied stage-persective knows that: 'Higher consciousness transforms Sexual impulse into the true force of Ananda'.

Huston Smith has been hailed as the foremost authority on the world's great religions. I google-found the following quote (which I most certainly second).
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.

Some years ago, my Soul's Will (which knows how best to fulfill her 'ancient blueprint')  informed me:  There is a better plan for you.  At that time I was engaged  with a group of people who were hell-bent on attacking my character.  I tried to show them why they were wrong, and that only enraged them more.
I had no idea I could have free of charge blog, yet it happened!  Here, I can write as lamely as I please and talk about what the pathless path - through uncreated Light and Sound - has been like for me. Here, I have the freedom to chronicle  what the Supreme Divine entrusted me with.
Here, I have the freedom to say that the conditioned mind/intellect doesn't have access to the realm of existence of Complexity so immense that only the ascended (liberated) Soul can bear to See.
 Here, I can assert  that Self-realization without embodiment is not the end of evolution - it is a necessary step towards greater realizations and integration , but not yet the end of Ignorance!

Soul evolution is not at all popular because folks don't even know there is such a thing.
This is why I was ecstatic when I discovered Aurobindo's work!  Before I say more I will  inject this thought:  I am really glad I got interested in his work once my blog-writing was underway (many years after my Soul journey started) because no one can accuse me of  unconsciously creating experiences that mirrors what he says. 
For example: I resonated deeply with what he said about his Soul journey:
After realization of the Self, there are many things beyond that. The Divine guide within urged me to proceed, adding experience after experience. . .Till I arrived at Supermind.
Everyone has the right to express their opinion but no one has the right to their (own) Truth. This is why I am grateful beyond measure to Aurobindo for his work, for being my  peer review person.

                                                                     *
We already know that the universe contains abundant energy. It is also true that the subtlest energy is the strongest/more potent.  We/I know that the Supreme Shakti force (Kundalini /  Goddess / Holy Spirit) is the great Cosmic Power that creates and sustains the universe.  We discovered  that when this Force manifesting as the individual consciousness is merged in the Mind of the Supreme Divine,  Soul liberation is attained.
 I didn't ask for this, didn't aspire to become spiritual, still it happened.  The only thing I asked for was:   Not my will, Your Will  (Lord) be done!  I was ready to submit to the Inner Guide, and to my great surprise it happened. Kundalini Shakti grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and performed all manner of cosmic makeovers and Initiations into Supreme Mystery.   IF I knew what I had to go through I wouldn't volunteer for this. This path is not for the faint of heart. I am also  mindful of what I can, and cannot share.
(Genuine) Mystical experiences and their contemplative conclusion is our empirical data - which can be checked/compared with others who had undergone same type journey.

 Today I want to have on record  what happened this night in Deep Samadhi during  critical mass-point  phase of searing ecstasy * the result of self-generating Erotic Potency/True Force of Ananda's flow out of Crown chakra into world's hologram via subtle planes *
Brief description: I was flat on my back when I felt my causal body's vertical ascent.  During this expansion  phase (ascent)  I was aware of  strong, rhythmic  pulsing on the top  (mid-front) of my head.  This type of soul experience is about a direct perception of: ' I transcended this world, and  this is what it feels like when the Inner being (Soul)  merges fully with the Essence of the Divine Beloved's Essence.  No longer 'Soul and God', but a state of Ultimate Consummation - where one's Soul  recognizes its supreme identity with Godhead.  The return to flesh body was accompanied by a sharp, snap-like sound.
The Bhagavad Gita says that,  finding supreme ecstasy is the final goal. . . I like to add that, the other side of this Cosmic Coin has 'Cosmic Tonglen Duty' carved into its surface. This is the hardest job in the universe because one's Universal Body doesn't get to 'shut down'.
Those who bear witness to this know, that what we experience and share is for the benefit of all beings in the visible and invisible domains -  for the sake of evolution of consciousness itself.
