Descent Of Supramental Consciousness

This post was written in 2009 - and when I finally got around to look at it and realized it was in need of a major edit-improvement, *something I dread each time* I thought it would be easier to give it a 2.0 treatment. In this post I include description of a couple of descents of 'spiraling bands of bliss energy', that took place in 2009.

Explorers of the mystery of the Transcendent Reality - in the Yogic/Supramental science field, grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence - sing the Song of His Truth without uttering single word. The author of the Swetaswatra Upanishad (1.3) confirms this for us: 'They Beheld the self-force of the Divine Being deep hidden by its own conscious modes of working'.
Sri Aurobindo confirmed for us that THAT which unveils its Knowledge to one's awakend awareness of the Soul, is 'conscious': ". . .Force that builds the worlds is a conscious Force, the existence which manifests itself in them, is conscious Being and a perfect emergence of its potentialities in form is the sole object which we can rationally conceive for its manifestation of this world of forms', excerpt from The Life Divine.

Those of us whose body-mind-soul is taken over by the (descent of) Divine and its 'Powers', proclaim the same Truth, no matter the tradition.
Saint Hildegard of Bingen confirms for us:
'Divinity is in its omniscience and omnipotence like a wheel, a circle, a whole, that can neither be understood, nor divided, nor begun nor ended.' & 'It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is the beauty and its radiance.'

Not without a great deal of struggle one gets passed the limitations of the egoic self and its 'what's in it for me', demands, before one can taste the kind of Peace and Bliss that passes human comprehension. . . But it happenes sooner or later, even to me (smile) - the me, who has been known to not always be the angelic being some think I am today, thanks to (unsolicited) Kundalini Shakti / Holy Spirit, and its felt in every cell Essence-Force burning up all karmas (automatic body purification), filling me with spiritual Bliss, unfolding psychic powers (divine siddhis), revealing our inmost Essence to be Divine.

The thing that puzzled me most is that I didn't aspire to be spiritual, didn't read esoteric texts and didn't chose this Path . . .'It chose me because my eternal self-Soul was ready to fulfill her ancient plan?' - I thought. Once I 'got' that, I marveled no more. For many years, the Descent of Supramental Consciousness, continued - and because I knew I was in 'good hands', I trusted implicitly, this invisible to the 'ordinary' eye of flesh aspect of Reality to 'work into me' its Will.
To say that this journey has been difficult, is an understatement - and the hardest part was seeing my family suffer because of the divorce. I knew I couldn't continue to be a 'wife' *to my great husband and a best friend in the world*. I knew I had no choice but ride my Soul's destiny-wave to its culmination point without having the slightest idea what the end-point might be.

Aurobindo verified for me my Soul's 'imperative demand' (readiness) for Liberation/ Unity with the Divine Transcendent Source-Condition of everything that's arising (years after I 'figured it out' myself):
"There are many who pursue inwardly the spiritual life and keep the family duties, not as social duties but as a field for the practice of Karmayoga, others abandon everything to follow the spiritual call or line and they are justified if that is necessary for the yoga they practice or if that is the imperative demand of the soul within them." -Quote from, Letters On Yoga

Soul level experiences is the ascended Yogi/Yogini's empirical data to be 'gained for earth consciousness'.
I kept a record of some of the most 'epic' experiences, but the idea one day I will be scribbling about it in this blog and Facebook groups, never occured to me during those early years - mostly because I didn't have the Internet before 2001/Fall.
Sri Aurobindo - whose work I discovered the year I began writing here (2009) - confirmed for me those Initiation experiences were the descent of Divine Light, Peace, Force, and Bliss. In his words: "These are the things that transform nature", in order, "to carry on the work through the instrument" + "One feels the Force only when one is conscious of it."
-Quotes from, Letters on Yoga on Descent intyoga.online.fr/triple3.htm

Spirit Speaks chronicles how my Soul's journey through Light and Sound progressed - the good, the terrible and everything in between - which may or not be a source of inspiration to others.
This Path is not for the fainthearted - we are reminded that: "An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature" -Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga. . .And I am uniquely qualifed to confirm this for him.

My couple of nights ago (in 2009) description of getting a 'head massage' by spiraling bands of laser-like bliss energy released my subtle/causal body from the flesh body. . .The same 'laser-like' experience today, lasted only thirty seconds or so, but made a great impact on me due to the sheer intensity of the Bliss factor.
Brief description: During Deep Yogic state (awake during sleep) I became aware of what felt like counter-rotating bands of bliss energy moving up and down my head and body. Startled, I instincitvely braced myself to feel some kind of discomfort - since I remember all too well those, sometimes not so pleasant sensations of karma burning Kundalini rushes - next instant relax fully into the feeling in every fiber of my being a type of Bliss that's hard to describe. . .The instant the 'massage' stopped, I heard a loud snap sound - of what I could imagine two electric wires might make, when crossed. Uttering 'Thank You', for such beautiful Initiation comes naturally.

These experiences triggered a memory of reading someon's description of the 'Merkabah Body', and decided to search the Net for information - found in ascensionnow.co.uk/star-tetrahedron-merkaba.html the following quote:
"The Star Tetrahedron, better known as the Merkaba, is comprised of two opposing tetrahedrons that are spinning in opposite directions. In ancient Egypt the word Merkaba referred to a rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world into another. In Hebrew it means chariot of God. In the bible it is the way Elijah ascended into Heaven. The word Merkaba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, and is considered to be a light vehicle for space/time dimensional body; to assist in the attainment of higher levels of conscious awareness; and to travel or transition between dimensions and realities."
Elsewhere I saw another statement on same theme, but failed to scribble the source: "The Merkabah can most easily be described as a sphere of golden light."

The mention of the 'gold sphere' caught my attention, because in 1990 - according to my frightened husband, who from the far end of the room with quick glances in my direction and shoo-away hand gestures, pleadead: "Don't do that, I can't see you". (Afterwards) He told me that for several minutes my head "was like the sun and I couldn't see you."

I know, that if I didn't have these experiences I would not have been able to transmit this Light-Power to others.
One incident comes to mind: the time my student (with eyes closed in meditative state induced by Shakti flowing through my hands) perceived hovering above her mid-body a large sphere of Light. . ."What's it doing here?" (asked few times). I tried to explain the significance of the Vision, but as the minutes ticked by, she bacame agitated and named it: "I don't like this". It became very apparent she was not ready to accept and 'benefit' from this Grace-given Initiation.

Most spiritual aspirants are not aware that complete transformation is possible when the Supreme Shakti Force 'rescues' the (true) Soul from its lower nature. . .Are not aware that:

"The Divine is in his essence Infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If this is so, it s 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. -Sri Aurobindo

Nectar of Supreme Knowledge

The path of embodying the Nectar of Supreme Knowledge is a thogh one and available to beings ready to submit their lower nature to the Divinity within at the apex-point of one's Soul's evolution. The ark of my terrestial history includes decades worth of mystical experiences. . .and I know that even my intitially feeble attempts at unpacking not only their significance, but the inner processess of spiritual and supramental Self-reavealment, were not influenced by personal feelings, brain-altering substances or intuitive opinions. Soul-literate scientist (Supramental Yogic Science field) focuses on fact-based (objective) empirical data,fact-checked by those who are qualified. . .
Because the knowledge of the Soul level evolution is the least known, I feel compelled to bring to the world stage this Grace-given Gift. Bring the Gift of Illumination that guides its working and the Power/Conscious Will that determines its results (Divine Revelations) all the way to Supermind and Beyond. 'Beyond'? - in Sri Aurobindo's cosmology named, "the supreme Sachichidananda which is above all" and realised in the supramental plane which can only be comprehended by Supermind.

Gopi Krishna reminds us: "All 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."

The hardest thing for me was to articulate what I was destined to see/know in a such a way that honors the Integrity of what introduced itself to the awareness of my non-biological Soul/Light Being. I already knew I was receiving Communication of the Divine Logos from the source of its Nature, and was determined to describe those transpersonal/supramental events to the best of my ability, even though I knew my writing style was lame. Happy to say it/my writng improved quite substancially over time.

Revelatory/supramental knowledge - which is clearly a transpersonal event - is not well received by minds which view Depth's data empirical evidence through the lens of mind incapable of comprehending the subtlety of meaning couched within the written word.

Those of us who have been called to bridge the gap between Humanity and Divinity, are not doing this for self-glorification. Such motive is foreign to me/us, such notion comes from egoic conception. We already know we are humanity's servants. We also know that we are 'flaunting innocently' what we were destined to know, and obey the inner call of our/my vocation.
Innocent Humility protects us from becoming defeated in the face of much opposition, because we know that 'supramental knowing' is Grace-given to a being who passes the 'Innocent Mind', test. Innocent Humility in its most radical sense can never be squashed by desire-mind and its insulting tactics, because we are performing the Will of the one Supreme Spirit (by whatever name).
Reasearch supported Depth data in Yogic science is not everyone's cup of tea, and this is as it should be. Those who aspire to become transparent to the Depths of the Divine are advised to:
"Open your soul to the Eternal - but it must be the eternal that draws your strength and beauty,
not desire for growth. For in one case you develop in the luxuriance of purity,
in the other you harden by the forcible passion for personal status." - author unknown.

When I read that passage, (long time ago) I thought this is it! That's the secret. I never aspired to be spiritual, didn't read esoteric texts, still the Supreme Shakti/Kundalini Goddess grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and performed a complete Kosmic makeover. I was 'allowed' to see/know the Nectar of Supreme Knowledge because I was 'ready' to see/feel/know it.

"Evil is the fruit of a spiritual ignorance it will disappear only by the growth of a spiritual consciousness and the light of spiritual knowledge. The division of being from the being of others can only be healed by removing the divorce of our nature from the inner Soul-reality, by abolishing the veil between our becoming and our self-being, by bridging the remoteness of our individuality in Nature from the Divine Being who is the omnipresent Reality in Nature and above Nature. . .
But the last division to be removed is the scission between this Nature and the Supernature which is Self-Power of the Divine Existence. Even before the dynamic Knowledge-Ignorance is removed, while it still remains as an inadequate instrumentation of the spirit, the supreme Shakti or Supernature can work through us and we can be aware of her workings; but it is then by a modification of her light and power so that it can be received and assimilated by the interior nature of the mind; life and body.
But this is not enough; there is indeed an entire remoulding of what we are into a way and power of the divine Supernature. The integration of our being cannot be complete unless there is a transformation of the dynamic action; there must be an uplifting and change of the whole mode of Nature itself and not only some illumination and transmutation of the inner ways of the being.
An eternal Truth-Consciousness (*Supermind) must possess us and sublimate all our natural modes into its own modes of being. knowledge and action; a spontaneous truth-awareness, truth-will, truth-feeling, truth-movement, truth-action can then become the integral law of nature."
-Sri Aurobindo, excerpt from The Life Divine/ Book 2, Part 2: The Knowledge of the Spiritual Evolution

Precisely! This is why years ago *long before I saw this passage* I wrote, 'strictly speaking my body doesn't belong to me anymore.'

Illuminations From Beyond The Intellect

Spirit science and its empirical data/evidence (disclosed to the eye of Spirit), is as complex,
and at the same time, as subtle as the most advanced study of particle physics (disclosed to the
eye of mind and its intellect).
The difference between these two disciplines lie in the fact that Spirit science requires one to
reach the deepest developmental level (which takes the evolving soul-personality eons of epochs to master),before the: "relative and ultimate, individual and universal, body and mind, bliss and wisdom, male and female--all dualities--are integrated
in this experience of fulfillment." Quote from: The Tibetan Book of the Dead (my copy penned by Robert A.F. Thurman)
In other words, it takes countless of lifetimes to become a proper instrument through which the Revelatory Absolute flows into the world of Form.

I wrote Illuminations From Beyond The Intellect (originally titled somt else) in 2010. It got the edit-expanded treatment in 2017,after I chanced upon for-me-verifying Sri Aurobindo's words. Because of the relevance of this developmental line/intelligence, I decided to give Illuminations From Beyond The Intellect the bump-up treatment.

This is what I wrote in 2010
Couple of nights ago, again, my brain was flooded with flute-like Sound. This Sound's flute-like melody kept humming along
seemingly without ceasing . . .because each time (many times) I woke up in this dimension I heard its very pleasant, several-notes-long melody. During the waking hours I am aware of it faintly
I have no doubt that this Kosmic Chant current is the carrier of those periodically heard 'signals' I've been perceiving with either the left brain hemisphere, or the right.
I described before the difference beetween the 'qualities' of Information each side carries, but will include quick recap: The 'signals' (info) perceived with left side/ear, are charged with oft times extremely negative emotions/intentions (thoughtforms) when someone in cyberland (Integral Life forum) gets triggered by my writing, I see/feel those thoughtforms in all their aggressive glory. . .I could say more about this, but am chosing not to.
On the other hand, those with right ear perceived (flute-like) 'signals', are the carriers of very sweet-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),
called 'Prakamaya' and 'Vyapati' - in auromere.wordpress. com/2010/12/sri-aurobindo-on-synchronicity, and received permission from Mr. Sandeep
to quote:
"The capricious spark of intuition which briefly flashed during occurences of synchronicity ripens in self-realized sages into highly
refind 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. 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 any person who is able to and allowed to receive
it. Half at least of our habitual thoughts and feelings are such unconscious borrowings." Record of Yoga, p.20.

Today (same day) I chanced upon gloriously verifying information on (Divine) Sound and Light. The following quotes are from:
the motherdivine. com/naam-or-word-the-sound-principle shtml
"In Yoga Sandhaya, an elaborate account is given by the practice of "hearing shabd" + "In the Rig Veda and the Atlun Veda there are hymns
in praise of Shabd." + "A Yogin ouught to sit in Sidha Asan, and adopting Vaishnavi Mudra, should hear within him the "Sound" coming from
the right side." + "The flute of Krishna (*heard it many times) is symbolic of the same Sound alegorically explained. This Sound is the
source of all revelation to the Master-souls, wheteher Hindus. Muslims, Christians, and contless others, were conversant with the practice
of the Word, though they did not 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 hhave spoken of Sar Shabd and Sat Shabd as well, and of regions beyond Branhmand (Par-Brahmand, i.e, Sach Khand,
Alkah and Agm Deshas). + "You can see His Light when your inner eye is opened. And you can hear His voice when his inner ear is opened."

The following quote is from wikipedia. org/wiki/Surat_Shabd_Yoga -- in Kripal Singh words:
"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 too primary attributes: Light and Sound. (Word for 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."

Based on my experience, Kripal Singh's assertion is true, but partial. . .One whose eternal/non-biological fulfills her 'ancient plan',
(at the zenith-point of her evolution) unites with the ESSENCE (Blissananda) of the Supreme Beloved, bears witness to new revelation.
It can be captured by this simple phrase: 'What I am is Love and what I have is Bliss in union with everything that's arising'.

With deep gratitude to Mr. Sandeep from auromere press.com/2009/07/vedic-vak-four-levels-of-sound, for another (for me verifying) information.

"1. Para-Vak is the highest form of sound. It issues from the Supernal Ether that build the various worlds preexist in an undifferentiated state.
2. Pashyanti in sanskrit means "seeing speech". Pashyanti is the sound vibration heard in the causal worlds. A sage whose consciousness is
concentrated in the causal body is able to "glimpse" a Truth in a vision or revelation. Knowledge is aquired in the inner mind by sight without
the use of of reasoning faculty or sensory data.
3. Madhamaya (Middle) is the sound as perceived in the subtle or Pranic world. A good example of this would be thought-forms held in our minds.
4. Vaikhari is the lowest form of sound and it signifies outword expression. This is the spoken word emerging from the throat."

* Will add, the above mentioned 'cosmic chant' lasted for about two years - maybe longer. I'm pretty sure I mentioned the day it started, Whatver
it was that needed fine-tuning 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 my interiority as well as without (aura filed). . . as well as the 'signals',
when someone gets triggered either positively or negatively by my writng.

She Speaks

"A Soul shall wake in the Inconscient's house; The mind shall be God-vision's tabernacle; The body intuitions instrument, And life a channel for God's visible power".
-Sri Aurobindo (Savitri)

One whose nature formed progressively around its Divine center - in the course of countless lives - 'reports' Divine Truths that can't be spoke, only experienced. We use words as containers into which Revelation's subtlety of significance is 'poured'. . .Now we realize that the Immortal Soul's nature is the same Essence as her Beloved.
At this stge-point, She has the authority to declare:

Who I am is Supreme Love and what I have is Supreme Bliss
I am neither gross nor subtle
I am the Nectar of Divine Knowledge
In union with all Reality in all realms of creation.

At this Kosmic address, one's Liberated Soul becomes a conscious Partner of the Divine Beloved. . .She exists to serve the ever-expanding evolution of understanding
of the God state. . .The She whose veil no mortal has lifted, is the perfect Instrument through
which the Divine Force-Power Baptizes the visible and invisible worlds,
without uttering a single word. (The River of Light Revisited April 2019, unpacks this topic)

In other words: God realized Soul remains eternally with the fathomless depth and mystery of the Supreme Beloved, not as 'concept', not as'nothing', but actually.

* Cautionary Note: One who aspires to become God realized through the spiritual bypassing route, will create much mysery. Some think that by acknowledging unhealed psycho-emotional wounding and unresolved developmental needs can be transcended by thinking: 'now that know this about me - know, I am selfish, greedy,
jealous, angry, that I crave status, etc. - I can rise above it', doesn't work. Psycho-emotional wounding can only be released at the level it was created. My post Healer's Note, adresses this topic. *

When all desire vanishes, noble qualities arise. One whose personal egoism is no more, becomes the embodiment of traits such as: simplicity, altruism, nonatachment to fruit of our works, free from the pleasure of domination, are jealous of none, and free from indulgence in petty deeds. Does this mean we are incapable of facing the bully and breaking his/her joy of domination?
Spiritual love is not a sentimentality, it's a permanent state of being that surpasses human comprehension. My spiritual peer Sri Aurobindo declared that spiritual love is a, "Power more ruthless than Love, happier than heaven."

Noble character traits are carriers of high-order frequency which holographically affects all dimensions of creation simultanously.
One whose mind is without the stain of disturbance, becomes
the channel through which high-order freqencies enter the world of Form.
When no longer driven by personal desire, but an impersonal drive of the Conscious Love/Power (not generated on human plane), the Divine Person (Liberated Soul) "Brings the fiers of the splendour of God into the human abyss" - Sri Aurobindo's words from A God's Labour (poem).

Sri Yukteswar reminds us:
"The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the wholle worlduniverse by his subtle vibrations and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux."

It is worth noting that, once one knows who we are at the deepst core of our being, concepts like 'special' looses all meaning. . .
And when I declare: 'Not I, but That which animates me speaks from the source of its Nature for the benefit of all beings', I mean it literally. . .(For) This is the true meaning of Divine Revelation.

I will end this reflection in Sri Aurobindo's words: Excerpt from:
Letters on Yoga - Planes and Parts of Being intyoga.online.fr

"Our (Yoga) having realised Sachichidananda in the spiritualised mind plane proceeds to realise it in the supramental plane. The supreme supracosmic Satchichidananda is above all. Supermind might be described as its power of self-awareness and world-awareness, the world being known as within itself and not outside. So to live consciously in the supreme Sachchichidananda one must pass through the Supermind. (skip)
The full dynamic truth of Sachichidananda and the universe and its consequence
cannot be grasped by any other consciousness than Supermind, because the
instrumentation in all other planes is inferior and there is therefore 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."

Standing Naked in the Crowd of Ideas

Edit-Expanded 2022-05-19

Now and again,  my poetic voice compels me to condense  into few stanzas that, which took many years of  Soul level experiences, and its contemplative conclusions baptized with  sweat, blood and tears, cross-checked with my community of the adequate. . . In other words, (as evidenced by what I share) it takes many years of solitude and 'natural' (not forced)  surrender to the Supreme Divine,  countless Soul level Initiations and  Kundalini style karma burning, experiences,  prepared me for  the opportunity to bear witness to what I was destined to See/Feel/Know. . .
Standing Naked in the Crowd of Ideas, (poem)  uses  terminologies that can be found in most mystery traditions. Words like 'Angel',  'Goddess of Clear Light',  are terms for the fully ascended Soul  (because Her Essence is identical with the Supreme Divine).
The word 'naked'  implies  that, even the most exalted mind and its intellect doesn't have access to the domain where the  Divine Mystery  reigns. . .The Mystery of the Ineffable unveils its 'secrets' to the living Soul  at the apex of Her evolution. . .The She - who I sometimes call 'the Queen of Bliss' - speaks without uttering a single word through one who becomes completely transparent to the Depths of the Divine.
It takes a very long time for the custodians of supramental  Knowledge, to arrive at the stage-point where the vanity of the intellct's wisdom destroy's iteself in an empty space of Pure Knowing. Spiritual poetry word-bridges the personal I with God (by whatever name), by weaving into words the subtlety of meaning.
The one  I named my 'primary spiritual peer', Sri Aurobindo, knew, and brilliantly stated why the Supramental Yoga's 'perfection' takes a long time:
 
The Divine 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 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.
- Sri Aurobindo,  excerpt from: The Synthesis of Yoga


Cast in the language of the Soul, STANDING NAKED IN THE CROWD OF IDEAS, transcends the symbol-imagery of the intellect and its psychology:

The sacrificed intellect burnt up in the
Fires of the Mystical Heart, is free of concepts and ideas
Which mercilessly suck dry the vital powers of the
Goddess Clear Light.
The She Who Has Been, Is, And Will Be
Whose veil no mortal being has lifted
Speaks through One who stands naked in a crowd of ideas.
 (The) Angel of Profound Inner Illumination, whispers:
"Know Truth from your own experience.
Transparent tranquility, limitless calm and bliss
Will find you  in the arms of the She who sees the Self
 Present in all beings and all beings existing in the Self Divine."

* How is such a thing possible? The law of Bliss Similarity Coherence, links the human Bliss Body (non-biological Soul) with the Essence of the Supreme Beloved.
 In this context, Sri Aurobindo's term, "The supreme supracosmic Sachichidananda, is above all", means the same as 'the Essence of the Supreme Beloved'.

And, again, in Aurobindo's words excerpt from:  Savitri, Book Three, Canto Two, pg 314 - a perfect example of spiritual poetry at its finest.

Alone Her hands can change Time's dragon base.
Her's is the mystery of the Night concealed;
The spirit's alchemist energy is hers;
She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire.
The luminous heart of the Unknown is she,
A power of silence in the depths of God;
She is the Force, the inevitable Word,
The magnet of our difficult ascent,
The Sun from which we kindle all our suns,
The Light that leans from the unrealised Vasts,
The Might of all that never yet came down.
All Nature dumbly calls to her alone
To heal with her feet the aching throb of life
And break the seals on the dim soul of man
And kindle her fire in the closed heart of things.

Why Sri Aurobindo Is Cool

American writer, author of over 32 books published and translated into 34 languages, dealing with topics of sociology, philosophy, mysticism, politics, ecology, psychology and spiritual evolution, Ken Wilber, recognised Sri Aurobindo's genius and literary contribution. Including short quote of praise of this brilliant mind (among others) from article titled:
The Evolution of Enlightenment - published in 2002, in What Is Enlightenment journal - and link to, Why is Aurobindo Cool, penned by Craig Hamilton.

"In a sense, the nondual realization, which at least became a historical realization for a fair number of people right around the turn of the century, including Sri Aurobindo, is still unfolding. I mean its, the world of form keeps unfolding, keeps evolving--spirit's own self-expression keeps unfolding--and it happens, as far as I can tell, to build on what it did yesterday, which is why evolution is indeed an unfolding event in the world of form. So as this incarnational nonduality, this ultimately ecstatic tantric nonduality itself, began to unfold, and its forms of manifestation began to unfold, you find that by the time you get to people like Sri Aurobindo, there's such a full-bodied understanding of this process. 
Even though some of the earlier sages were ultimately enlightened for their time, there's a richness, an  unfolding, a resonance of spirit's own incarnational understanding in some of the recent sages that just give you goose bumps.&
Under those circumstances, the type of descent that Sri Aurobindo was talking about, the descent of the supermind, is something that he certainly thought would be increacing in frequency as evolution continued. And I think that's the case".

I was not surprised when I read that Aldoux Huxley, Nobel laurate Pearl S. Buck, and others independently nominated Sri Aurobindo for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

I borrowed this blog's title from Craig Hamilton's article tilted: Why Sri Aurobindo is Cool:
I can't post direct links, but am more than happy to include one cool snippet from it - and if interested, check out the article at
https://journalofyoga.org/aurobindocool.pdf

"Almost all religious and mystical traditions, East and West, ultimately see the goal of spiritual practice as some kind of vertical lift off, out of this world into either a transcendent beyond, a heaven, or a final cessation in nirvana. Sri Aurobindo had the audacity to say that this view was a mistake. A big mistake. He even had the chutzpa to say it was a mistake made by Shankara and the Buddha."
