Maps/Consciousness models exist in consciousness (mental realm) - even the psychic and spiritual transformation takes place within one's psycho-emotional /cognitive line of development.
The ascended mind (supramental awareness) has access to a radically different domain because the transcendent is beyond time. In this non-local domain 'celestial things' introduce themselves to the fully awakened Soul's awareness. . .This is also why we call it Divine revelations.
One whose Brow chakra and Crown chakra opened on the extremely subtle level, can describe in great detail what the sensations of opening feels like. Moreover, these openings to ever-higher realms of existence is not a one time event, but several. Throughout this blog's tapestry I chronicled what those 'events' were like for me.
Someone whose evolving personality and its 'karmic burden' got burnt to crisp by Kundalini Shakti, has no karma left. This is why at this stage one can claim, 'I became more than human'. I say this.
Folks who don't understand that embodied/evolutionary Soul-level Enlightenment is real, don't want to hear what I say.
I say, Divine revelation is not a 'doctrine'. I say, Ultimate Mystery can be known and decoded/described using simple language, by one who transcended every power office and became one with the very Source of all Power. And, if someone has the impression this station can be reached without much pain and struggle, consider these words penned by Sri Aurobindo:
Only by hard sacrifice is high heaven earned;
He must face the flight, the pang who would conquer Hell.
Joseph Campbell said (which I second): "The ultimate unqualified mystery is beyond human experience" If I didn't know this, I would have nothing to write about. I demonstrate that only the non local eternal self Soul - at the apex of her journey through transcdendent Light and Sound - can bear witness to the Ultimate Mystery.
Today I decided to include a link to Cosmic Synchronicity & Confirmation post, because its content is filled-to-brim with experiences that only the self-Soul can bear witness too.

<><><>
Soul physics is such a vast and complex topic, this is why I can only unpack a fraction of what introduced itself to the awareness of my non-biological Soul in each post-entry.
Often, I have to repeat certain things, because the Divine process of evolution into wholeness and transcendence includes the process of awakening and activating the currents of light within the subtle and extremely subtle body of man. . .
Vedanta's "The end of Knowledge" is an apt term for the domain where one discovers Knowledge beyond reason and thought. One of the challenges on this path, is to find and check one's results/contemplative conclusions with others who have adequately completed the same journey.
Gaining entry to the domain of the state where one comes in possession of new Intelligence that is higher than reason and thought, is the purpose of every mystical tradition.
In order to reach the final ascension-point - through the gates of light in the subtle cerebrospinal centers (Human Chakra System) - one has to be willing to submit to the Divine within, and allow the 'Power that upholds and protects and cherishes us', to have its way with us.
Unsolicited Kundalini Shakti's Mightiness had its way with me, and in this blog chronicle what the journey through (transcendent) Light and Sound has been like for me.

Each mystical tradition has its own language with which it names the various planes of existence, and the means (practices) of how to get there. On this path without a map, what matters most is the experience . . .Union of the Soul with the Essence/Bliss of the Absolute Supreme is the Ultimate Consummation experience (same as 'Shakti and Shiva's Erotic embrace'), and I feel moral obligation to share that which introduced itself to me.
Today I want to take a quick look at 'nadis'. I didn't study Ayurveda, but recently learned that this tradition talks about nadis - and lists 72 thousands. Fourteen of them are considered "important", and three are "most important". The most important nadis are named Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. In spiritual terms the three highest chakras are the main gates through which one gets to 'meet and unite with God/Goddess' - so this makes sense to me.
The ascended mystic discovers that all of the nadis are subordinate to Sushumna, because we see and feel the flow of "Ambrosia" within the spinal column and beyond. . .
It is said that Ida and Pingala are often seen as referring to the two hemispheres of the brain. This makes sense to me as well, because during the initial stages of karmic clearing, occasionally I felt shooting pain on both sides of my head/brain.
Sushumna is the main channel because it connects the base chakra with the Crown chakra. The unobstructed Sushumna nadi allows the Kundalini Essence (Ambrosia/Shakti/Bliss) to flow into world's hologram out of the Crown chakra. To put it another way, 'Kundalini Essence' is the transmuted Erotic Energy which has the appearance of brilliant silvery white light frequency (that flows out of one's Crown chakra) I bear witness to this 'flowing out' experience and wrote about it in my post titled The River of Light.
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html
Divine Intelligence or Kundalini Shakti, knows she is the cause of evolution of consciousness in mankind. One who attains permanent Sahaja (or Samadhi) state, knows that Cosmic Consciousness becomes a perennial possession of Yogi/Yogini who is able to achieve this feat. But to get there, Ida and Pingala must be purified and balanced and the mind steadied by Samadhi state. When that happens - through many years of often very difficult process - the two brain hemispheres become unified.
At this juncture, both sides share same goals and values, because both hemispheres can (literally) see that the Inner Self shines like the splendor of thousand suns. One sees this Light with the eye of spiritualized consciousness of the eternal self-Soul.
The science of uniting Soul with the eternal all-Blissful Supreme Being, and being literally one with all beings in the visible and invisible domain, is not for the faint of heart. One whose karma is ripe to begin the journey will be guided by one's Soul's Will (which is the same Will as God's) and supported by Love's Intelligence so Wonderful, it passes human comprehension.
<><><>
The following quote in Sri Aurobindo's words from The Life Divine, absolutely resonates with my own experiences. I'm doing this with the intention it may be helpful / reassuring to someone who is on this path. . .
After we have entered the path, he envelopes us with his wide and mighty liberating Impersonality or moves near us with the face of and form of personal Godhead. In and around us we feel a Power that upholds and protects and cherishes; we hear a Voice that guides; a conscious Will greater than ourselves rules us; an imperative Force moves our thoughts and actions and our very body; an ever-widening Consciousness assimilates ours, a living Light of Knowledge lights within, or a Beatitude invades us; a Mightiness presses from above, concrete, massive and overpowering, and penetrates and pours itself into the very stuff of our nature; a Peace sits there, a Light, a Bliss, a Strength, a Greatness. Or there are relations, personal, intimate as life itself, sweet as love, encompassing like the sky, deep like deep waters. A Friend walks at our side; points our way; a Lover is with us in our heart's secrecy; a Master of the Work and Ordeal points our way; a Creator of all things uses us as his instrument; we are in the arms of the eternal Mother (*Shakti/Goddess*) All these more sizable aspects in which the Ineffable meets us are truths and not mere helpful symbols or useful imaginations; but as we progress, their first imperfect formulations in our experience yield to a larger vision of the one Truth that is behind them. At each step their mental masks are shed and they acquire a larger, a profounder, a more intimate significance.
* I got interested in Aurobindo's work once my blog writing was underway (2009). Early on I had couple of encounters with him ... and have it on record in this blog. The one that made the most impression on me was the time (he wore white) when we stood shoulder to shoulder and he encouraged me to 'keep going' -- at a time I was being bullied left and right by nasty forum people.

Healer's Note
* Decided to include a link to 'sister' post titled: Food for the Soul
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2013/10/food-for-soul.html
Some folks who are aspiring to be spiritual have the wrong idea of 'ego's' role in their development. It is vital to properly understand what 'transcending and including the ego means'. I like how Ken Wilber described it:
The ego is the executive function of the mental levels. Egolessness does not mean absence of a functional self (that is a psychotic, not a sage). Transcending ego doesn't mean destroying ego, it means plugging it into something bigger. Soul and Spirit include body, emotions, and mind, they do not erase them.
*
Vanity and jealousy must die, unresolved psychological wounds and developmental needs, must be faced and healed. Everyone has ego but it has to be purified and transformed before one can successfully progress along the spiritual path.
Over the years I wrote several posts which focused on psycho-emotional healing. Today, I want to more or less repeat what I wrote already with the intention of injecting a shot of inspiration.
May you find inspiration within the word's meaning.
*
Guided by our unshakable commitment to the highest goal is a Gift you can give yourself. Your peace of mind depends on this since it is easier to endure life's strife and struggle when we know that the pursuit of the highest Will, will lead to positive outcome and directly reveal your spiritual depth. Often times in sleep state, the darker niches of your psyche releases scary images and our instinct is to run away from it in the same manner we turn away in waking life from our insecurities. Who wants to admit there is selfishness, that we harbor within our mind-heart resentments, that we thirst for power and desire to dominate another.
Still we are unflinching because our Heroic self compassionately looks at those uncouth traits, and admits "this is my karmic lot" - and decides to give itself permission to not blame others for those not (yet) exactly white as freshly fallen snow personality traits.
Don't wait for others to change first. They maybe pushing your sensitive buttons, but this is your life, your Soul's journey, so wait not for others to do the heavy-lifting for you. It is up to you to take responsibility for your psycho-emotional healing. If you can afford it, seek out a good therapist who can help you sort things out.
The Master in you--your highest representation of the Ineffable Value / Goddess / God--waits for your co-operation. . .When you recognize the significance of this message, you will move forward with a Song of Gratitude in your heart.
Be aware, that our egoic 'contraction' feels threatened by the ever-increasing role the (infinite) Soul plays in our life. The 'surface' ego is a very cunning creature and will do everything in its power to persuade you that you need to protect yourself when someone presents a different/more evolved picture/mode of being. It will give you many reasons why you and others shouldn't pay any attention to the "nonsense".
Sri Aurobindo's words on same (nonsense) theme:
"The vital ego hates being opposed in its desires, resents dissapointment, is furious against the wound to its pride and vanity: it does not like the process of purification and it may very well declare satyagraha againt it, refuses to co-operate, justify its demands and inclinations, after passive resistance of many kinds, withdraw the being from the path of spiritual endeavor. All this has to be faced and overcome for the temple of the of being has to be swept clean if the Lord of our being is to take his place and receaive our worship there." intyoga.online.fr/diffpath.htm
Releasing old patterns feels scary. Releasing rage (once owned not projected elsewhere) seems uncouth to one who thinks 'I'm too evolved for such barbaric emotions'. . .
But when we know that psycho-emotional growth is the greatest gift you can give yourself , that this is the greatest Treasure you deserve to have, you will keep going no matter what!
Don't blame others for the way you feel, but instead look within and ask what harmful patterns and beliefs must be examined and released. Be grateful for this opportunity. Grateful, you can, without self-judgment and tons of compassion allow feelings of sadness, rage, or fear flow out of your nervous system.
Old fears will surface when higher (Soul) frequencies take up residence in you. Be nice to your 'wounded' self and observe your thoughts and feelings from a newer, more detached perspective when stagnant energy flows out of you. Acknowledge these moments with gratitude.
Accelerated growth happens more easily when we accept and love ourselves as we are right now.
Never assume that those of us who are at higher levels of consciousness, to one degree or another, didn't have to deal with same issues. This is why we can't help being compassionate. We identify with pain/suffering and have no desire to shame or judge another.
Last, but not least. . .remember that within our soul's 'virtual memory bank' are encoded past life traumas. Their energy/causes set in motion in one incarnation are driving the present-day incarnation. This is why the healing process can't be breezed through in a weekend.

Apollo Complex Decoded
Author of the 'Apollo Complex', is author of many books on human development and consciousness, Ken Wilber - this excerpt is from The Atman Project, chapter 8, p.77.
My mind was, as the Buddhists say, that of a monkey: compulsively active, obsessively motive. And there I came face to face with my own Apollo complex, the difficulty in transforming from the mental sphere to the subtle sphere (or the soul as the Christian mystics use the term) is the beginning of the transpersonal realms; as such, it is supramental, transegoic, and transverbal.
But in order to reach that sphere, one must (as in all transformation) "die" to the lower capacity (in this case mental egoic).
The failure to do so or incapacity to do so is the Apollo complex. As person with Oedipus compllex remains unconsciously attached to the body and its pleasure principle, so the person with an Apollo complex remains unconsciously attached to the mind and its reality principle. ("Reality" here means "institutional, rational, verbal reality"), which, although conventionally real enough, is nevertheless only an intermediate stage on the path to Atman; that is it is merely a description of actual Reality itself, and thus, if clung to, eventually and ultimately prevents the discovery of that actual Reality. (skip)
... as it was, I was fortunate to make some progress, to be able to eventually to rise above the fluctuations of mental contractions and discover, however initially, a real incomparably more profound, more real, more saturated with being, more open to clarity. This realm was simply that of the subtle, which is disclosed, so to speak, after weathering the Apollo complex. (...)
From the subtle, one no longer 'gets lost in thoughts'; rather, thoughts enter consciousness with smoothness, grace, and clarity.
To read more www.kheper.net/topics/Wilber/psychic.html
If curious:
For in-depth teaching on 'evolving soul', take a look at how Aurobindo describes it. . . .
Will add that, I completely agree with his description of what the eternal self-Soul is, and is not. (Psychic being and authentic Soul in Sri A teaching means the same thing).
The following assertion is true to one who 'sacrificed' its lower nature to the Divine:
The supramental change can take place only if the psychic (*Soul) is awake and is made the chief support of the descending supramental power.

Moral Obligation - Divine Command
Out of countless tears
She fashined a Mighty Sword In the stillness beyond the internal dialogue
Sword of Justice compels me to report that
which the Divine Logos disclosed
Divine self-disclosure is self-validating. This type of Knowing comes on line *developmentally speaking* when one's eternal self-Soul gets plugged to (the) "I am the Field and the Knower of the Field" - as reported by the Bhavad Gita seer.
One who is not delusional, seeks individuals who write from the bhava Samadhi state/stage - in order to check/verify our contemplative conclusions with. . .
Even though Gopi Krishna's eternal self Soul has not reached its apex-point of evolution, I greately value (and quote) what he had to say with regard to mystical illuminations.
In his book titled The Real Nature of Mystical Experience, he said the following with regard to his level of Realization:
"I do not claim to be illuminated in the sense we ascribe illumination to Buddha, as I still find myself at the human level. (skip) I do not claim to be a mystic or a saint, as I am still very much entrenched in the world and have not completely risen above it".
I have been accused of 'spiritual inflation' and other silly things - not only by the scientific materialist, but by those who think they are 'enlightened'- because the subtlety of meaning contained within the written word is completely invisible to the surface mind.
Sri Aurobindo and other ascended Souls wrote extensively about their mystical experiences without apologies. Nobel prize winners in all fields publish their work without fear of being accused of 'flaunting' their brillaince. . . I feel divine Bliss and its Influence in every fiber of my being 24/7, and see with eyes open & spiritualised consciousness divine Light in the form of golden aura-field, plus a narrow ribbon of blue light next to my skin--which Sri Aurobindo said was (blue) "Krishna light" (discovered by 'fluke' in 1994-and still have that journal note), and am supposed to be ashamed of the fact I am bearing witness to something which the Divine Grace 'plugged' me into? The world's materialists must not be disturbed by the fact that God/Goddess/Spirit reality is as real as the keyboard I'm writing on? I'm supposed hide the fact that Soul Liberation is a real (at the zenith-point of Her journey through Light and Sound). Soul-literate scientists don't look to the spiritually blind for approval-verification of our contemplative conclusions. How in the world the scinetific materialist supposed know what Samadhi is/means< and what theTRUE nature of the Ineffable is/means. They can't see it this is why they tell me things like: "stop pretending you have knowledge of the inner realms" (direct quote). They think that my description of what I-Soul first time witnessed in May 2010, and described in The River of Light, is sheer lunacy http://www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html">www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2010/05/river-of-light.html This is why I am all the more grateful to Gopi Krishna, for saying in Kundalini for the New Age:
All the great mystics who have written on the subject have given their own symptoms openly and plainly. That is the tradition. And from their descriptions, one can compare one's own condition.
What I share is not for personal gain. What I share is not the result of drug-induced hallucinations (from ingesting plant brews and other drugs) - which in some circles are hailed to be the real deal, the real 'expansion of consciousness', thing. I see grasping mind's wishful thinking - they don't, and I'm okay with that, as long as they don't claim theirs is the last word.
The last word belongs to those who know better. Gopi Krishna elaborated (and I agree)
The real meaning of "Soma" refers to the internal processes of sublimation leading to higher consciousness or Samadhi. Since soma is a Sanskrit term its interpretation should be based upon the ancient Vedic religious belief, NOT Western assumption of drug use.
There is no proof in the Vedas that actually mention any human drinking a herbal concoction; it was the Gods Indra and Agni who drank streams of this nectar and then conquered the Dragon or Serpent Vrtra (a symbol of Kundalini).
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.
I shake my head at (my) lamely written posts, but also can't help but marvel at the intensity of the Evolutionary Impulse compelling me to do this.
Those of us who feel in every fiber of our being this impulse, acknowledge we are guided to become witness to the fact that at the deepest core of our being there is a oneness which drives and guides this universe towards ever-greater emergence. . .for the benefit (transformation) of all beings, for the evolution of consciousness itself in service to the Divine. Some call this force Eros, other's God's Love, etc.
I have a moral obligation to report on things that are not now, never will be acceptable to folks who refuse to acknowledge that (authentic) spiritual sciences is a legitimate profession. I didn't chose to be 'spiritual', the (transcendent) One who is awake within my mortal coil, did.
The following excerpt from Gopi Krishna's book titled, The Man of the Future, explains what types of personality traits define genuine prophet/mystic/saint/accomplished yogi/seer/sage.
We are, therefore, face to face with a mighty problem when we try to find an explanation for the mental condition of religious teachers of the highest order. We have to account for the existence of not one but four outstanding attributes of the front rank mystic minds. They are Ecstasy, Moral Elevation, Psychic Powers and Genius. This remarkable combination is confined to this class and this class alone. Otherwise we find these attributes distributed singly and in too few cases.
The combination of even two out of them in one individual is extremely rare. The man of genius may not have moral elevation, ecstatic vision or psychic gifts, a medium may not have moral stature, vision or genius, and one prone to visionary states may not have the moral armor, psychic powers or the true genius of the true mystic.
In judging the prophet, the mystic and the real saint we have to take the startling fact into consideration that he (she) is in possession of all four rare and lofty attributes, each of which, even when singly present, confer distinction on one possessing it. There is no difference except one of degree between a genuine prophet, mystic, accomplished yogi, seer and sage, and whoever out of them emerged with all these four gems glittering in his crown.
She fashined a Mighty Sword In the stillness beyond the internal dialogue
Sword of Justice compels me to report that
which the Divine Logos disclosed
Divine self-disclosure is self-validating. This type of Knowing comes on line *developmentally speaking* when one's eternal self-Soul gets plugged to (the) "I am the Field and the Knower of the Field" - as reported by the Bhavad Gita seer.
One who is not delusional, seeks individuals who write from the bhava Samadhi state/stage - in order to check/verify our contemplative conclusions with. . .
Even though Gopi Krishna's eternal self Soul has not reached its apex-point of evolution, I greately value (and quote) what he had to say with regard to mystical illuminations.
In his book titled The Real Nature of Mystical Experience, he said the following with regard to his level of Realization:
"I do not claim to be illuminated in the sense we ascribe illumination to Buddha, as I still find myself at the human level. (skip) I do not claim to be a mystic or a saint, as I am still very much entrenched in the world and have not completely risen above it".
I have been accused of 'spiritual inflation' and other silly things - not only by the scientific materialist, but by those who think they are 'enlightened'- because the subtlety of meaning contained within the written word is completely invisible to the surface mind.
Sri Aurobindo and other ascended Souls wrote extensively about their mystical experiences without apologies. Nobel prize winners in all fields publish their work without fear of being accused of 'flaunting' their brillaince. . . I feel divine Bliss and its Influence in every fiber of my being 24/7, and see with eyes open & spiritualised consciousness divine Light in the form of golden aura-field, plus a narrow ribbon of blue light next to my skin--which Sri Aurobindo said was (blue) "Krishna light" (discovered by 'fluke' in 1994-and still have that journal note), and am supposed to be ashamed of the fact I am bearing witness to something which the Divine Grace 'plugged' me into? The world's materialists must not be disturbed by the fact that God/Goddess/Spirit reality is as real as the keyboard I'm writing on? I'm supposed hide the fact that Soul Liberation is a real (at the zenith-point of Her journey through Light and Sound). Soul-literate scientists don't look to the spiritually blind for approval-verification of our contemplative conclusions. How in the world the scinetific materialist supposed know what Samadhi is/means< and what theTRUE nature of the Ineffable is/means. They can't see it this is why they tell me things like: "stop pretending you have knowledge of the inner realms" (direct quote).

Soul Science Musings
25/01/2010 Edit-adding link to sister blog On Rapture Musings
www.spiritspeaks-theofilia.blogspot.ca/2009/06/on-rapture-musings.html
Edit-expanded 2024-06-29
Earlier this year I chanced upon very interesting (but definitely not yet 'the last word' on the nature of Reality in all its aspects) information discovered by Lashlo Kortvelyessy -- his claim that Beam is the 5th state of matter. Speculates, "Very probably, no more than six states of matter are possible. In the last two states of matter, no thermal energy exists (*skipping math formula bc I don't know how to do it properly). In the Bose-Einstein condensate no thermal but only very-very low quantum mechanical energy (skip) exists, in the fifth state of matter a very high velocity in only one direction exists and a very high electric energy in form of ions or electrons" +
"The fifth state of matter is the most energetic one because another state of matter (formula) is not possible. One of the states of matter is the Bose-Einstein condensate. It has zero thermal-energy. We should give the number zero to it. Its popular name for the fifth state of matter is clearly incorrect since heated plasma will never be transformed to this Bose-Einstein condensate (formula). + "Nobody has emphasized, but this supposed Magnetic Universe was always thought to be based on a certain Electric Universe in background. Electric Universe clearly acts via filaments. No mysteries anymore, only physics are necessary." Source www.5th-state-of-matter.info/5th-state.html#5ukrk
Only a fraction of the universe is visible/atomic, this is why most of the universe can't be scientifically/mathematically explained.
Quantum Mechanics can explain certain aspects of reality but not the whole enchilada, since
quantum fields, particles and space-time, are cognitive extensions of one's perceptions.
In words of the American philosopher Ken Wilber, excerpt from Kosmos G, confirmation on what every genuine mystic asserts:
"Precisely because the quantum potential is not actually a radically formless or nondual domain, 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. . .+ The wisdom traditions are in strong and viirtually unanimous agreement on this point. + What the quantum mechanics formalisms are catching is a brief glipmse of -- in a merely third-person, abstract, mathematical form -- is the staggering power of etheric-astral energy, out of which, as a sedimentation and crystalization, the entire gross material world arises. + Spirit potential is not Spirit but Prana!" source" www.Kenwilber.com/Writings/PDF?ExcerptG_KOSMOS_2004.pdf
Spirit science explores Reality from the invisible to the eye of mind and its methods, perspective. We assert that, Spirit/Eros/Great Cosmic Power/ Divine Bliss and its evolutionary drive creates and sustains the universe. . .
Sri Aurobindo's cosmology includes the realized in the supramental plane, 'Supreme Satchichidananda which is above all and impartially supports everything'. . .
But, to "live consciously in the supreme Sachichidananda one must pass through the Supermind."
Adds: "The full dynamic truth of Sachichidananda and the universe and its consequence cannot be grasped by any other consciousness than the Supermind, because the instrumentation in all other planes is inferior and there is therefore a disparity between the fullness of the static experience and the incompleteness of the dynamic power, knowledge, result of the inferior light and power of other planes." intyoga.online.fr/ppb2.htm
At the zenith-point of one's Soul's evolution - grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence - the She whose veil no mortal has lifted, achieves permanent Union with the Essence of the Absolute Supreme, knows this Truth directly: I I feel and hear in every fiber of my being the ever-present bliss-vibration/spin and its never-ceasing Erotic Potency's Ananda Essence flow from the Crown chakra into world's hologram via subtle planes. . .I see (with spiritualized consciousness) its influence in a form of light aura-field around my head/body. In this state, the individual attains the ability to perceive reality as Infinite all-knowing Consciousness.
* I discovered 'by fluke' my Light aura-field in 1994.
Modern science is not capable of measuring Divine Essence / one's fully ascended Soul's Nectar of Immortality.
I have yet to read anywhere that 'Divine Bliss' has been discovered and measured/explained by the eye of mind and its 'narrow science' methods.
Soul physics' perspective on why matter is more than material can be captured with this phrase:
Atom's heart is ablaze with Divine Essence. It is all material and it is all transcendent.
24/1/2020 Edit-adding Aurobindo's brilliantly penned poem titled,
ELECTRON
The electron on which forms and world's are built,
Leaped into being, a particle of God.
A spark from the eternal Energy split.
It is the Infinities blind mute abode.
In that small flaming chariot Shiva rides.
The One devised innumerably to be;
His oneness in invisible forms he hides,
Times tiny temples of eternity.
Atom and molecule in their unseen plan
Buttress an edifice of strange oneness,
Crystal and plant, insect and beast and man.
Man on whom the World-Unity shall seize,
Widening his soul-spark to an epiphany
Of the timeless vastness of Infinity.
I always look to my (spiritual) community of the adequate for verification of my Depth data's contemplative conclusions. Today I want to include the following verse attributed to writer of the Dead Sea scrolls:
I have reached the inner vision through Thy Spirit in me
I have heard Thy Wondrous secret, through Thy mystic insight
Thou has caused a spring of knowledge to well within me
a fountain of power, pouring forth living waters
A flood of love and all embracing wisdom
Like the splendour of eternal light.
If that person was alive still, I would have liked to compare notes with. . . I would like to confirm for her/him the validity of their claim by sharing how I came to know the 'splendour of...' etc.. I would say, I-Soul witnessed flowing out of my Crown chakra 'splendour of eternal light' into world's hologram via subtle planes (for the benefit of all beings, for the benefit of evolution of consciousness, documented in post titled: The River of Light (May 2010)
