I have been busy scribbling on Facebook in Logos Speaks, and the *open to public* Integral Global group (mostly). I have more to say in this blog, but for now, *those who are interested* can check out what I'm going on about in Logos Speaks.
For a reason unknown to me I am not able to include direct links - but if curious:

Higher Faculties See & Hear For You
Encounters with the Sacred/Divne are not only real, but transformative, and I am still in the process of refining the subtlety of meaning of Soul level experiences *initiations/intuition/visions/divine siddhis, at the apex-point of one's eternal self-Soul's evolution into wholeness and transcendence*, again, with the help of someone who discovered within his innermost interiority the existence of 'two sources of intuition - one in the heart and one above the head'. . .Which I 'knew already', but it hasn't occur to me to unpack it in a more 'substantial' way by including Sri Aurobindo's unpacking of how/in what sense and circumstance, 'higher faculties see and hear for us'.
With permission from Mr Sandeep,from: auromere.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/how-to-develop-intuition/ - to show that Intuition at this Kosmic adress, has nothing to do with 'gut feeling'.
"According to Sri Aurobindo and Mother, there are two sources of intuition - one in the heart and one above the head. These sources of intuition correspond to the two centers of the Divine in us - the soul or psychic being within the heart, and the central Being above the head."
The central Being above the head? . . .Is the Knower of the Field/Reality in all planes of creation = the Supramental/Awakened state of Mind - which is neither male or female. Everyone who is 'called' can become God-realized by making supreme effort in that direction.
Not a 'gut feeling', because, "The Supramental is by its very nature a consciousness of truth, a consciousness always free from that ignorance that forms the foundation in our present natural or evolutionary existence, and from which nature tries to reach within us to self-knowledge and world-knowledge, to a right consciousness and the correct use of our existence in the universe.
For its true nature is knowledge: it does not need to aquire knowledge, but posesses it by nature; it does not go from ignorance to some imperfect light, but from truth, from right vision to deeper vision, from intuition to further intuition, from enlightenment to extreme, limitless fullness of light, from growing vastness to complte boundlessness, to actual Infinity. At its peek it posessess the divine omniscience and the divine omnipotence, and even in the unfolding process of its own highest heights over time, it must be essentially free from ignorance and error according to its true nature: it proceeds from truth and light and always moves in truth and light.
Just as his knowledge is always in truth, so is his Will; it does not foolishly deal with things and does not stumble on its way. In the Supramental, even the feelings and sensations do not give up any of their truth, do not make mystakes or missteps, do not deviate from the right and real, and can neither abuse beauty nor bliss nor, twist their divine straighteness. In the Supramental, even the senses cannot be seduced or brutalized ; it is this rudeness and cumbersomness that their imperfections here are, which leads to further truth, and its unfinished work is a step towards perfection.
*skip* Once the truth consciousness here has built its own natural foundation, the development of divine life will be growth in joy; a departure through the light into bliss, the Ananda."
-Excerpt from: The Life Divine
This is why when I say, 'Supramental Revelation is the Communication of the Divine from the source of its nature, we/I mean it literally. Beings at this stage-point SEE instantly the Significane of the Vision's 'message' or, "from above the head", bear witness to what the experience of the descent of Light/Force/Bliss, into every fiber of our being is/feels like - which posts like: The River of Light Revisited, 2019, Solar Heart Initiation Revisited 2019, On Rapture Musings 2009, Cosmic Synchronicity Confirmation 2013, - in plain language and great detail, describe the 'effectiveness' of the true action of a spiritual truth-consciousness *because* "the higher spiritual planes create their own formulations in the subliminal in the depths within us" (but) "to know them Supermind must descend into us". Sri Aurobindo's quotes.
Example from the 'above the head', category?
My blog titled Cosmic Synchronicity Confirmation, describes my encouter with and Initiation/Descent of Divine Light-Bliss-Power from, Kwan Yin. Brief description:
I was alone in bed when I sensed someone's presence behind me. I turned to look and beheld gazing at me tenderly beautiful Woman. . .I knew She was "ignored" and asked (telepathic communication): "What's your name?" "Kwan Yin, do you like me?", She said. . ."Oh yes" . . .Next instant I watched Her walk towards the foot of the bed in the room now filled-to-brim with spiraling White Light. . . and every fiber of my being (now) filled with Bliss unimaginable floated within Nirvana's Bliss-Light. I heard myself moan a little because the bliss factor was so intense. And when I woke up in this dimension, Bhakti tears sealed this Grace-bestowed 'deal'.
Again, Aurobindo affirmed for me this type of Initiation/Event originates *among countless others* "in a region of higher consciousness, which would seem to pertain more to a very high stage of realization, far beyond ordinary nonduality, rather than intuition in the ordinary sense of the term. To avoid this confusion, I sometimes refer to it Revelatory Absolute."
Example from the 'heart-source' category? Many years ago, my spiritual eye (open brow chakra) beheld two bright stars' spiraling down action . . . the closer they got to Earth plane, the brighter and larger their Form. . .In their now morphed Form, still in silver bright glory, in the shape of two very large old fashioned looking Ploughs, graced my front yard. AND, instantly I understood what my 'walking orders': 'you will work hard in the visible and invisible planes of existence'.
This is why when I say: 'I have a moral duty to obey the inner call of my Vocation', I mean it literally.
Sri Aurobindos' Yoga of Self-Perfection on Intuition resonates with me to a t:
" The intuitive mind dealing with the triple time movement has to see rightly in thought sense and vision three things, actualities, possibilities and imperatives. There is first a primary intuitive action developed which sees principly the stream of successive actualities in time, even as the ordinary mind, but with an immeditae directness of truth and spontaneous accuracy of which the ordinary mind is not capable. It sees them first by a perception, a thought action, a thought sense, a thought vision, which at once detects the forces at work on persons and things, the thoughts intentions, impulsions, energies, influences in and around them, those already formulated in them and these in process of formation, those too that are coming or about to come into or upon them from the environment or from the secret forces invisible to the normal mind, distinguishes by a rapid intuitive vision of actualities, but there are others that are less complete in their character. (skip) This kind of intuitive knowledge is not an entirely perfect instrument of time knowledge. *skip*
It is possible to however to develop a mind of lumnious inspiration which will be more at home among the greater potentialities. . . + This inspired mind will see things in the light of the world's larger potentialities and not the stream of actualitie as a selection and result from the mass of forecful possibilities. It will be liable, however, if it is not attended with a sufficient rvelatory knowledge of imperatives, to a hesitation or suspension of determining view as between various potential lines of movement away from the line of eventual actuality and following another not yet applicable sequence
The aid of imperative revelations from above will help diminish this limitation, but here again there will be difficulty of an inferior power dealing with the materials given to it from the treasury of a higher light and force.
But it is possible to develop too a mind of luminous revelation which taking into itself the two inferior movements sees what is determined behind the play of potentialities and actualities and observe these later as its means of develepoing its imperative decision. An intuitive mind thus constituted and aided by an active psychic consciousness may be in command of a very remarkable power of time kowledge. *skip
It is therefore in relation to the truth of supermind that its workings can be more effectively elucidated : for the mind of knowledge is only a projection and a last step in the ascent towards the supramental,."

One of the most intriguing (for me) activated in the superconscious field of mind 'Soul powers' are called 'Pramakaya' and 'Vyapati', wich *again" Sri Aurobindo confirmed for me after many years of not having a clue others experienced and named long time ago. The following quote is from auromere blog: "The capricious sprak of intuition when briefly flashed during occurrences 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 the "present states of mind, feeling, sensation, etc. of others, and with Vyapati, that we "communicate anything we have in our systems, thought, feeling, power, etc. to another."
Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute / the Divine in its Infinite Essence. . ."cannot be reached by the exclusive pursuit of a single line identity that is raised to its absolute; it must harmonise many aspects of the infinite. An Integral consciousness with a multi-form dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation." - Sri Aurobindo.
Sri Aurobindo's biographer, Satprem (1970: p.256), likewise describes the unusual states Aurobindo experienced in the course of his spiritual development but notes:
Sri Aurobindo was first to be baffled by his own experience and. . .it took him some years to understand exactly what had happened. We have described the. . .experience. . .as though the stages had been linked very carefully, each with its explanatory label. but the explanations came long afterwards, at that moment he had no guiding landmarks."
-Excerpt from: The Meditative Mind The Varieties of Meditative Experience, penned by Daniel Goleman.
I discovered Aurobindo's work many years after my Soul level experiences *Kundalini Shakti, style* started, and looked to saints for 'clues'.
2023-12-01 Today I'm excited to edit-include excerpts on 'supernormal powers' in the Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga - from book penned by Daniel Goleman, titled: The Meditative Mind The Varieties of Meditative Experience. "The combination dharana, dhyana, and samadhi is a state called samyama. This highly concentrated state holds the key to supernormal powers such as clairvoyance and telepathy. The Sutras have a lengthy section on how to applysamyama to gain various powers. *skip* As in the Visuddhimagga, the Sutras see these powers as subtle snares for the seeker. The yogi is urged to give up these seductive traps as last temptation for the ego. *skip* It is samadhi that is taught as the heart of yoga; Vivekananda (1970) says, "Samadhi is Yoga proper; that is the highest means." *skip*
Nirvikalpa is the deepest samadhi; in it, mind is at its stillest. *skip* In this, says one commentator, "an avalanche of indescribable bliss sweeps away all relative ideas of pain and blame. . .All doubts and misgivings are quelled forever; the oscillations of mind are stopped; the momentum of past actions is exhausted." But one limit of nirvikalpa samadhi is that it can be enjoyed only while the yogi remains still, absorbed in deep meditation.
The final step in ashtanga yoga is extending the deep stillness of samadhi into the yogi's waking state. When samadhi spreads throughout the other states so that no activity or inner stirring can dislodge its hold on the yogi's mind, this marks him as jivan-mukti, a liberated man."
I agree with all of that, and think the reason my 'supernormal powers' are intact still *even though I got plugged to Final Samadhi*, is because all of these different 'powers' feel utterly 'normal'. I never aspired to be 'spiritual', either, but it happened 'naturally' because I was born with unbroken continuity of awareness. My eternal self-Soul was ready to fulfill her 'ancient plan' in this lifetime and it felt utterly 'natural' for me to plead: "Your Will not mine be done!"
Anyone at this stage-point will know what the experiences *felt in every fiber of one's being* of what 'godlike release' is/feels like. Aurobindo's words confirm this for me
"One-pointed to the immaculate Delight
Questing for God as for a splendid prey
He mounted burning like a cone of fire.
To few is given that godlike release."
-Savitri, Book 1.
I am fulfilling the Kosmic purpose by asserting that, when the meeting of Soul and Divine Beloved is genuine, it is impossible to get sucked into a vortex of deception and inflation, not possible to get lost in the intermediate zone.

Spirit Speaks
Oh dear, I didn't expect my second blog entry scribbled in Spirit Speaks (2009), titled Spirit Speaks *poem* would park itself at top of page (2023), after edit-expansion. I dare say it was a struggle to get going, yet filled with uncanny determination to disclose what introduced itself to the awareness of my non-biological Soul. . .so aware my writing skills are lame. . .painfuly aware of the burden of a duty to obey the inner call of my vocation. . . to bear witness to what 'genuine mysticism', is. Immensely grateful for encouragment by brilliant writers to keep going even when going got though. Not yet curious about Sri Aurobindo's work when I began writing here, as I was convinced his work is beyond my comprehension - because I read some call him "giant of consciousness" - but that changed when I got curious what the fuss was about, and to my great surprise discovered *once my brain got used to his terminologies* that 'I already know this, because this happened to me'!
One of those for-me-encouraging writers, was Ken Wilber - author of many books on human development and consciousness. The following passages are from One Taste:
"...all of those for whom authentic transformation has deeply unseated their souls must, I believe, wrestle with the profound moral obligation to shout from the heart--perhaps quietly and gently, with tears of reluctance'perhaps with fierce fire and angry wisdom; perhaps with slow and careful analysis; perhaps by unshakable public example - but autheticity always and absolutely carries a demand and duty: you must speak out, to the best of your ability, and shake that spiritual tree, and shine those headlights into the eyes of the complacent. You must let that radical realization rumble through your veins and rattle those around you.
Alas, if you fail to do so you are betraing your own authenticity. You are hiding your true estate. You don't want to upset others because you don't want to upset yourself. You are acting in bad faith, the taste of a bad infinity.
& "I don't mean to be harsh here, and we must honor all lesser engagements. Nonetheless, you must have noticed that the word "soul" is now the hottest item in book sales - but all "soul" really means, in most these books, is simply ego in drag. "Soul" has come to denote, in this feeding frenzy of translative grasping, not that which is timeless in you but that which most loudly trashes around in time, and thus "care of the soul" incomprehensively means nothing much more than focusing intensely on your ardently separate self. Likewise, "spiritual" is on everybody's lips, but usually all it really means is any intense egoic feeling, just as "heart" has come to mean any sincere sentiment of the self-contraction."
YES! I see it today - see the kind of silliness that passes for spiritual "Enlightenment", and cringe.
*My blog's avatar name 'theofilia' is made up, because I wanted to write incognito to keep cyber bullies off my back*
* In 2009 March 3, felt like scribbling Spirit Speaks - now in its expaned form begins with few quotes penned by a modern day Christian mystic, Bernadette Roberts*
"What the "no-self" event reveals is that union with God is not the end but the beginning of our life with God. The end of the journey comes many years after union."
"With years of selfless giving, the self is literally eroded away as God consumes more and more of the human being. Now, "beautiful, holy and strong." & "What remains now is the mystery of Resurrection, of Christ and the Trinity."
"Maturity, possible only through the grace of God. The Self, the mature human in a state of union with God, also falls away."
- Bernadette Roberts
I agree that Soul level Enlightenment/Liberation grounded in multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendence, 'comes many years after union'.
In this blog, I will attempt to describe to the best of my ability what happened *to me* on this path without a map. It includes descriptions of many types of mystical experiences in the subtle domain as well as Soul level Initiations, before one attains the Supreme Liberation, or the Final Samadhi.
Will begin by saying: My child-self was quite psychic already, already capable of being fully awake in dream states, already felt stirrings welling up within me compelling me to 'act' on them': Like the time I drew a large circle and standing in its middle gazing intently upon sky's star-studded canopy, feeling in every fiber of being a sense of incredible 'immensity', and a sense of deep yearning to know something my child's mind-heart/the evolving soul personality had no access to. . .didn't know then, that I was born with unbroken continuity of awareness and in due time, in this incarnation, my eternal self-Soul will fulfil her 'ancient plan' by Grace-bestowed descends of Divine Peace, the descent of Force or Power, the descent of Light, the descend of Ananda/Divine Bliss. Sri Aurobindo confirmed for this for me: "One feels the Force only when when one is conscious of contact with it."
In 94' I wrote Spirit Speaks, not yet written from the fully embodied level.
We are Earth, Fire, Water and Air
We are many names and faces
Many loves and hatreds.
We are beggars, we are royal
We are Serpent the knowledge giver (Kundalini Shakti)
We are blind, we are wise
We are dark and light
We are . . .
Contorted past
Land heaving
Waters churning
Sky watchful
Sublime beauty revealed
Spirit manifest
Exalted, mysterious
Forever more blessed be!
Is it you and me?

Will begin by saying: My child-self was quite psychic already, already capable of being fully awake in dream states, already felt stirrings welling up within me compelling me to 'act' on them': Like the time I drew a large circle and standing in its middle gazing intently upon sky's star-studded canopy, feeling in every fiber of being a sense of incredible 'immensity', and a sense of deep yearning to know something my child's mind-heart/the evolving soul personality had no access to. . .didn't know then, that I was born with unbroken continuity of awareness and in due time, in this incarnation, my eternal self-Soul will fulfil her 'ancient plan' by Grace-bestowed descends of Divine Peace, the descent of Force or Power, the descent of Light, the descend of Ananda/Divine Bliss. Sri Aurobindo confirmed for this for me: "One feels the Force only when when one is conscious of contact with it."
In 94' I wrote Spirit Speaks, not yet written from the fully embodied level.
We are Earth, Fire, Water and Air
We are many names and faces
Many loves and hatreds.
We are beggars, we are royal
We are Serpent the knowledge giver (Kundalini Shakti)
We are blind, we are wise
We are dark and light
We are . . .
Contorted past
Land heaving
Waters churning
Sky watchful
Sublime beauty revealed
Spirit manifest
Exalted, mysterious
Forever more blessed be!
Is it you and me?

Blaming My Ways on Karma 2.0
Master science, or Yogic Supramental science and its Depth data's evolutionary significance *couched within the written word*, flies under the 'reasoning' mind's radar. This is perfectly 'normal' for the earlier developmental stages and the reason I say, 'what I share is not everyone's cup of tea, so please ignore it'. What is 'not normal', is its insistence *by someone who doesn't know me, doesn't know my history, doesn't know/can't see what forces animate me* that, unless I 'go out into the world and ground the love in helping others', what I bear witness to *my contribution to the evolution of consciousness* is meaningless. . .Will such mind ever see that it is forcing upon me that which I have outgrown and back off?
Not as long its 'humility code' doesn't come on line.
What is it that I have 'outgrown', then?
My *free of charge* service to the world that arose spontaneously and powerfully within my interiority many years ago. Now the question arises: So even if the pride-mind sees a list of some of my 'grounding love' contributions, will it conclude, 'I don't believe her'? *in order to keep itself 'safe' from seeing its Ignorance?
I care not one iota. . . because I know who I am, I know that Depth's data viewed through a prism already familiar to it, doesn't 'supposed' to see value in what I share.
1. I worked 'for the environment' with other like-mind folks * planted trees, educated others, etc. *
2. Wrote tear-stained Letters to the Editor (which read more like 'essays'), opening mind-hearts to our species blindness resulting in harming ourselves, ignoring the needs of the developing countries and its horrific stats of children dying by the thousands from lack of basic needs, offering solutions. One of those letters our co-worker showed to my husband, with big grin teasing: "your wife wrote this". . .and then my husband said "yes". This guy knew me and I bet, if asked why he was surprised I wrote it, he would say what most people saw. . .a soft spoken sort with wild hair, slim figure and sunny disposition, (even) capable of confronting a violent bully who knocked co-worker/Joan's teeth out, *and 'paying' for it by losing our respect and job-loss* but writing something he found inspiring, was another thing.
May as well include a brief description of what transpired when I found out what happened to Joan - and how the 'surprising' aspect of my persoality trait I was born with which doesn't need anyone's permission to come out in all its fierce indignation glory*, inspired others to show the bully his violent act will not be tolerated.
Joan got her teeth broken because she was transitioning to becoming a lipstic and pink t-shirt wearing, woman. . .
After I told him/bully what he needed to hear and challanged to do same to me - he shook his head 'no' - the men in his department decided to show him they felt the same outrage I felt and proceeded to *creatively express it* in a shape of two large banners, one of which hung above the entrance door, the other above the punch clock. The banners included some of the words I hissed at him, as well demand he quits.
The boss thanked me "for what you did". I wrote this story in, The Green Eye Monster? *one of my early years posts*.
3. Donating money to a relgious humanitarian organization to help build a well in Africa.
4. 'Donating' time/energy to help school teachers.
5. Donating blood.
The stage I work from 'spiritualy', Sri Aurobindo expressed beautifully:
"But you are surely mistaken in thinking that we work spiritually for the relief of the poor. I have never done that. My work is not to intervene in social matters within the frame of the present humanity but to bring down a higher spiritual light and power of a higher character which will make a radical change in the earth-consciousness." + "It is true that I want the supramental not for myself but for the earth and souls born on the earth, and certainly therefore I cannot object of anybody to want the supramental. But there are the conditions. He must want the Divine Will first and the soul's surrender and the spiritual realisation (through works, bhakti, knowledge, self-perfection) on the way."
Quotes from, Complete Works.
Sri Yukteswar asserted, and I agree that: "The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole world by his subtle vibrations and the less he himself is affected by it."
I wrote: The Liberated Soul / Conscious Partner of the Divine Beloved, becomes a perfect instrument through which the Divine Force-Power baptizes the visible and invisible domains of creation without uttering a single word.
The River Of Light Revisited, unpacks this 'Baptizing' topic in great detail.

Genuine Mystic Walks the Talk
Few months ago 'educated' man (on FB) who thinks he is spiritually enlightenened, informed me: 'you have no right to boast about spiritual experiences', insisted, the reason I do it is because I crave attention due to my parents' negelect and ardently urged to, "find someone who can help you with that". . .again and again asserted, "there is nothing to attain" since everything is "THAT" (his caps). . .this pride-mind told me he "worked" with me to make me see what real spiritual enlightenment is.
Let's see what Aeschylous 'walking orders' are for those who attained something the pride-mind has no choice but reject:
"It is the nature of the crowd to fear and misconsture whatever is truly great. It is the business of the crowd to spew derision on great things, wherever they touch them, even as the shallow tide swills upon the foot of a majestic cliff. Those who scale such heights must take care on looking back; every backwards glance is a downward glance, which risks plunging the climber's mind into a vertigo of confusion and doubt. Those who reach the summit are blissfuly deaf to the curses of the crowd, which die away far behind, below them. It is not wise to recognize their bloated claims, from the beginning, not tarry with them, even a short while, in wasteful conversation, which often appear as friendly provocations but turn spiteful soon enough.
Do not suppose they can be satisfied by an appeal to noble impulses, hard evidence, or genius arguments. Simply put, they are determined not to strive; thus the more uplifting your motivations, the readier they are to imagine fault in them. The crowd cannot help themselves. Compelled to fuss over every jagged point, they want nothing more than to drag all loftier spirits down with them, into the muck of lowly disputations.
Triumph, as they know it, would be their won failure validated by the failure of all others. Equally of the bottom of the pit is their own notion of a high ideal. Their insistence on discussing great matters is a farce, since they care only for refuting greateness itself, and bringing glory into disrepute. Loath to follow any line of reasoning beyond the first paltry objection, nontheless, they will not suffer a peaceful end in dialogue, but will continually alter the angle of attack. * Ideed, 'twas the silly man who said he "likes dharma duelling" with me, until he didn't and began attacking my character.*
When, after humoring them, and seeing that they refuse to go further, you do resolve to end the converastion, and continue on your way, they will say that it is you who lack the stomach for a spiritual debate. Such is the matter of crowds, and all persons who have given up their personal development, in order to think in common, with one, degenerated mind. Guard, therefore, your mind.
(Skip) If you could be wise, and someday stroll upon the bluffs, in a finer company of souls, then say your peace but once - twice, at most - and say no more. Let them bristle and slander as they will, casting about with a hundred , crooked curses, but finding no hollow to hook in you."
Let's see what Aurobindo wrote on seeing the value in what we/genuine mystic share:
"The Yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to affect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. Its object is not personal Mukti, although Mukti is a necessary condition of the yoga, but the liberation and transformation of the human being. It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon earth." +
"The true knowledge and descriptioon must be left to the language of the mystic and the figures, at once more vivid and more recondite, of a direct experience." +
"Do not be eager for spiritual experiences; for experiences you can always get, having once broken the barrier between the physical mind and the subtle planes. What you have to aspire for most is the improved quality of the recipient consciousness in you, discrimination of the mind, the unattached impersonal Witness look on all that goes on in you and around you, purity in the vital, calm equanimity, enduring patience, absence of pride and the sense of greateness - and more especially, the development of the psychic being in you - surrender, self-giving, psychic humility, devotion. It is a consciousness made up of these things, cast in this mould, that can bear without breaking, stumbling or deviation into error the rush of lights power and experiences from the supraphysical planes.
An entire perfection in those respects is hardly possible until the whole nature from the higher mind to the subconscient physical is made one in the light that is greater than the mind, but a sufficient foundation and a consciousness always self-observant, vigilant and growing in these things is indispensible - for perfect purification is the perfect Siddhi." (This) Last quote is from: intyoga.online.fr/exp-real,htm - previous quotes from, The Life Divine.
Let's see what The Tibetan Book of The Dead - Liberations Through Understanding In The Between *my book is pen-translated by Robert A.F. Thurman*, says about the 'voyager into the soul''s contribution to evolution of consciousness. From Glossary. . .
"psychonaut. A "voyager into the the soul," an apt term for the Buddhist adept, who voluntarily abandons the pseudo-security of this planet of delusion, with its solid ground of ordinary, individuated suffering, to launch herself through death-dissolutions into the subtle between-states to deepen her wisdom by exploring the unconscious and to expand her compassionate heroism by serving universes of beings on the subtle level, and then returns to the ordinary embodiment of the adept to assist her contemporaries."
P.S. I posted in Robert Thurman's Facebook page comment which included the experssion of gratitude for his work, ect., as well as 'fact-checking' link to one my riffs, and he 'liked' it.
Let's see in what sense descriptions of spiritual experiences are relevant - in Gopi Krishna's words from, Kundalini For The New Age.
"The men and women who have undergone this transformation and now have this expanded consciousness are known to be in the samadhi state of oneness with the cosmic consciousness. 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."

Seamless Robe of Light
Edit-expanded 2026-06-08
This blog unpacks from the post-enlightened stages - which transcends & includes the spiritual realization line - not only divinely unveiled knowledge of Divine Reality in all its aspects, but also the conviction what 'happened' to me, can happen to anyone who hears the Call and responds.
May whatever goodness arises from comprehending the subtlety of meaning couched within the written word. . .may it be for the benefit of all beings.
We know that the realm of the deepest Yogic attainemt is 'earned' by living a moral life, by selfless work (free of charge), by dealing with/healing psycho-emotional traumas & developmental needs. . .and when the 'what's in it for me' impulse disappears, the impulse to submit one's will to the Divine Will, and then invoking the Holy Spirit/the Goddess Kundalini/ Christ/ Kwan Yin, etcetera, for its 'Support', arises spontaneously.
The developmental stages can't be skipped - and what I bear witness to is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, because it is written from the: Immortal Being / Fully ascended Soul / the She whose veil no mortal has lifted, perspective.
I have a moral duty to obey the call of my vocation, but don't wish to convince anyone what I share is true. I don't wish to instruct others what to do/practice, because at this stage-attainment the Divine Grace is in 'charge'.
My intent in bearing witness to what happens on the Path without a map is to show / unpack decades worth of Yogic science data - not influenced by personal feelings, mind's dive into its subconscious, dream-like formations, or the use of psychedelics - but by multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendece confirmed by those who are qualified. Those, who know what needs to happen before one becomes 'ready' for the Descent - via the Crown chakra and felt in every fiber of one's being its essence - of Divine Peace, Force or Power, and Ananda.
What I bear witness to is true, because I see with flesh eyes the divine's Influence in a form of a vast aura-field of gold light around my head/body. My spiritual tribe shares the same conviction:
One who is on the threshold of divinity, not the human guru, not any academic, but the Divine Power and its Will has the power to rescue the Immortal/Divine Soul, from its lower nature.
Sri Aurobindo confirms for us:
"The gate of the supramental cannot be smashed open like that. The Adhar has to be steadily prepared, changed, made fit for the supramental Descent. There are several powers between the ordinary mind and the supramental and these must be opened up and absorbed by the consciousness - only then is the supramental change possible." - excerpt from: CWSA 23:3001.
My many years ago by 'fluke' discovered & already premanently established in 1994, and named 'Heavenly Robe' in a form of a vast Golden Light aura-field, and next to the skin, narrow band of Blue Light. . . for many days kept me busy checking (in certain lighting) if it was still there, till I got bored. I never heard of such a thing and thought one day I will discover in some esoteric book these Lights' significance. I shared with my Mama this 'discovery' (in person), and her reaction didn't surprize me: 'I don't know what that means but stop talking about it, it's scary".
Years passed before I saw Aurobindo's statements on what the various Lights (including 'diamond white', and 'silver ray'), symbolize: "Blue is Krishna's special and significant colour, the colour of his aura when he manifests - that is why he is called Nila Krishna. + Krishna is not the supramental Light. The descent of Krishna would mean the descent of the overmind Godhead preparing, though not itself actually, the desent of supermind and Ananda. Krishna is Anandamaya; he supports the evolution through the overmind leading towards Ananda".
I am happy to say that few years ago I chanced upon a video titled, "real human aura recordings" (measured by scientists) which includes the very much familiar to me (permanent) sound of a 'gold light frequency signature in the human bio-energy field'. . .But if someone were to ask me "does it sound this loud?", I would laugh and say, not even close -- not like the laboratory produced cranked up sound-volume. . . There are several Samdhis stages. I am in permanenet Smadhi, and what I hear right now is, is like sitting still inside a giant crystal sphere - and not only hearing, but feeling this frequency's spin within my interiority and around me.
In Deep Samadhi, I am aware of the sound-spin's extremely subtle sound - the kind of frequenct I could imagine the tiniest wind chimes made from finest crystal, would make. Literally . . . but cast in poetic language frame .
The Ultimate Samadhi. . .the She whose whose Veil no mortal has lifted, sees the Inexpressible Nameless Marvel and Eternity's Heart (Divine Revelations).
I can't post direct link to this video but the search engine will find it.
World's great wisdom traditions have differnt names for this Light Body, and today I am happy to quote from article penned by John White, titled: Enlightenment and the Body of Light, with descriptions for the 'Light Body' in different wisdom traditions.
Quote: "Some of the names given to the body of light are as follows:
* In the Judeo-Christian tradition, it is called "the resurrection body" and "the glorified body." The prophet Isaiah said, "The dead shall live, their bodies shal rise" (isa, 26:19). St, Paul called it "the celestial body" or "spiritual body".
* In Sufism it is called "the most sacred body" (wujud al-aquadas) and "supercelestial body" (jism asli haqiqi).
* In Taoism, it is called "the diamond body," and those who have attained it are called "the immortals" and "the cloudwalkers"."
* In Tibetan Buddhism it is called "the light body." * In Tantrism and some schools of yoga, it is called "the vajra body," "the adamantine body",: and "the divine body."
* In Kriya yoga it is called "the body of bliss."
* In Vedanta it is called "the superconductive body."
* In Gnosticisim and Neoplatism, it is called "the radiant body."
* In the alchemical tradition, the Emerald Tablet calls it "the Glory of the Whole Universe" and "the golden body." The alchemist Paracelsus called it "the astral body."
* In the Hermetic Corpus, it is called "the immortal body" (soma athanaton).
* In some mystery schools, it is called "the solar body."
* In Rosicrucianism, it is called "the diamond body of the temple of God."
* In Old Persia it was called "the indwelling divine potential" (fravashi or fravarti).
* In the Mithraic liturgy it was called "the perfect body" (soma teilion).
* In the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo, it is called "the divine body, : composed of supramental substance.
* In the philosophy of Teilhard de Chardin, it is called "the ultrahuman."
Further, John White writes: "The traditions speak of the process in different ways. Is the immortal body created or released, attained or manifested? Is it preexistent within the individual and the gross matter body simply "burnd" away? Or is the gross matter of the body altered through a process not yet recognized by physical science, which changes atoms of flesh into something unnamed on the Periodic Table Elements? Is there more than one route to the final, perfected form of the human body-mind? Is it necessary to actually die biologically, or is there an alternate path to the light body that bypasses physical death?
These are provocative questions which remain to be explored. However this state is achieved, the perfected individual is then capable of operating within ordinary space-time through that altered vehicle of consciousness which is immortal. That vehicle of consciousness is no longer carbon-based as is biological flesh. Rather, it is composed of a finer, more ethereal form of energy substance unknown to conventional physics, but long known to metaphysics and higher mysticism. That condition is, for the individual, the most exalted stage of higher human development; for humanity in general, it is the final stage of evolution."
https://www.theosophical.org/publications/quest-magazine/resurrection-and-the-body-oflight
So there we have it. Good questions - and one who attains the 'Immortal Soul' status, can answear in detail.
I tried to find John White on the internet and failed. I made several attempts to contact other (authors) scholars who study world's wisdom traditions and failed. I know already, even if I did find/made contact, they wouldn't be able with their mind's intellect accept my Depth data's conclusion. I have engaged few scholars who studied wisdom traditions in Facebook groups, who ended up blocking me for daring to defend my peer supprted conclusion. These men, in their podcast talks with like-minds say things like: 'it will be thousands of years before we know the ultimate truth.'
So, how dare I, a female, and a big nobody dares to bother the big shots with her 'stories?!
My peers have my back: From blog on 'Vidyas in the Upanishads' - in auromere.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/vidyas-in-the-Upanishads/ - the following quote absolutely makes sense to me:
"During the practive of Yoga, at some point the Purusha (Soul) disengages from Prakriti (body) and then stands apart and gains indifference from the sensations. When the Sun of higher consciousness establishes itself in the body, it unleashes the rays of fire which illuminate everything within. This power floods the senses with the nectar of Soma juice and then all contacts are turned into a feeling of bliss."
I am grateful for Sri Aurobindo's brilliance - he who knew that the Guardians of Light have a moral duty to obey the inner call of our vocation "in service to the Divine", no matter what! We crave not 'recognition' from anyone. . .We absolutely enjoy supporting like-minded 'Light Guardians'. Vivekananda has my back:
"Wisdom that comes directly from God and with the means that brings proof of God's reality through personal experience. + Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves.".
Shabd Yoga Master, Kripal Singh confirms for us: "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) 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 emerges as His primary attributes."
Will end this riff on something Aurobindo articulated for those of us who heard and responded to the call: "Trust the Divine Will and its Support." & "It is only divine love which can bear the burden I have to bear, that all have to bear who have sacrificed everything else to the aim of uplifting earth of its darkness towards the Divine. The Galileo-like 'I don't care' would not carry me one step; it would certainly not be divine. It is quite another thing that enables me to walk unweeping and unlamenting towards the goal." + "One cannot be said to be in the full Yogic condition - for the purpose of this Yoga - if one cannot take up with willingness any work given to one as an offering to the Divine."

River of Light Revisited (2019/04) unpacks this topic.
This blog unpacks from the post-enlightened stages - which transcends & includes the spiritual realization line - not only divinely unveiled knowledge of Divine Reality in all its aspects, but also the conviction what 'happened' to me, can happen to anyone who hears the Call and responds.
May whatever goodness arises from comprehending the subtlety of meaning couched within the written word. . .may it be for the benefit of all beings.
We know that the realm of the deepest Yogic attainemt is 'earned' by living a moral life, by selfless work (free of charge), by dealing with/healing psycho-emotional traumas & developmental needs. . .and when the 'what's in it for me' impulse disappears, the impulse to submit one's will to the Divine Will, and then invoking the Holy Spirit/the Goddess Kundalini/ Christ/ Kwan Yin, etcetera, for its 'Support', arises spontaneously.
The developmental stages can't be skipped - and what I bear witness to is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, because it is written from the: Immortal Being / Fully ascended Soul / the She whose veil no mortal has lifted, perspective.
I have a moral duty to obey the call of my vocation, but don't wish to convince anyone what I share is true. I don't wish to instruct others what to do/practice, because at this stage-attainment the Divine Grace is in 'charge'.
My intent in bearing witness to what happens on the Path without a map is to show / unpack decades worth of Yogic science data - not influenced by personal feelings, mind's dive into its subconscious, dream-like formations, or the use of psychedelics - but by multidimensional evolution into wholeness and transcendece confirmed by those who are qualified. Those, who know what needs to happen before one becomes 'ready' for the Descent - via the Crown chakra and felt in every fiber of one's being its essence - of Divine Peace, Force or Power, and Ananda.
What I bear witness to is true, because I see with flesh eyes the divine's Influence in a form of a vast aura-field of gold light around my head/body. My spiritual tribe shares the same conviction:
One who is on the threshold of divinity, not the human guru, not any academic, but the Divine Power and its Will has the power to rescue the Immortal/Divine Soul, from its lower nature.
Sri Aurobindo confirms for us:
"The gate of the supramental cannot be smashed open like that. The Adhar has to be steadily prepared, changed, made fit for the supramental Descent. There are several powers between the ordinary mind and the supramental and these must be opened up and absorbed by the consciousness - only then is the supramental change possible." - excerpt from: CWSA 23:3001.
My many years ago by 'fluke' discovered & already premanently established in 1994, and named 'Heavenly Robe' in a form of a vast Golden Light aura-field, and next to the skin, narrow band of Blue Light. . . for many days kept me busy checking (in certain lighting) if it was still there, till I got bored. I never heard of such a thing and thought one day I will discover in some esoteric book these Lights' significance. I shared with my Mama this 'discovery' (in person), and her reaction didn't surprize me: 'I don't know what that means but stop talking about it, it's scary".
Years passed before I saw Aurobindo's statements on what the various Lights (including 'diamond white', and 'silver ray'), symbolize: "Blue is Krishna's special and significant colour, the colour of his aura when he manifests - that is why he is called Nila Krishna. + Krishna is not the supramental Light. The descent of Krishna would mean the descent of the overmind Godhead preparing, though not itself actually, the desent of supermind and Ananda. Krishna is Anandamaya; he supports the evolution through the overmind leading towards Ananda".
I am happy to say that few years ago I chanced upon a video titled, "real human aura recordings" (measured by scientists) which includes the very much familiar to me (permanent) sound of a 'gold light frequency signature in the human bio-energy field'. . .But if someone were to ask me "does it sound this loud?", I would laugh and say, not even close -- not like the laboratory produced cranked up sound-volume. . . There are several Samdhis stages. I am in permanenet Smadhi, and what I hear right now is, is like sitting still inside a giant crystal sphere - and not only hearing, but feeling this frequency's spin within my interiority and around me.
In Deep Samadhi, I am aware of the sound-spin's extremely subtle sound - the kind of frequenct I could imagine the tiniest wind chimes made from finest crystal, would make. Literally . . . but cast in poetic language frame .
The Ultimate Samadhi. . .the She whose whose Veil no mortal has lifted, sees the Inexpressible Nameless Marvel and Eternity's Heart (Divine Revelations).
I can't post direct link to this video but the search engine will find it.
World's great wisdom traditions have differnt names for this Light Body, and today I am happy to quote from article penned by John White, titled: Enlightenment and the Body of Light, with descriptions for the 'Light Body' in different wisdom traditions.
Quote: "Some of the names given to the body of light are as follows:
* In the Judeo-Christian tradition, it is called "the resurrection body" and "the glorified body." The prophet Isaiah said, "The dead shall live, their bodies shal rise" (isa, 26:19). St, Paul called it "the celestial body" or "spiritual body".
* In Sufism it is called "the most sacred body" (wujud al-aquadas) and "supercelestial body" (jism asli haqiqi).
* In Taoism, it is called "the diamond body," and those who have attained it are called "the immortals" and "the cloudwalkers"."
* In Tibetan Buddhism it is called "the light body." * In Tantrism and some schools of yoga, it is called "the vajra body," "the adamantine body",: and "the divine body."
* In Kriya yoga it is called "the body of bliss."
* In Vedanta it is called "the superconductive body."
* In Gnosticisim and Neoplatism, it is called "the radiant body."
* In the alchemical tradition, the Emerald Tablet calls it "the Glory of the Whole Universe" and "the golden body." The alchemist Paracelsus called it "the astral body."
* In the Hermetic Corpus, it is called "the immortal body" (soma athanaton).
* In some mystery schools, it is called "the solar body."
* In Rosicrucianism, it is called "the diamond body of the temple of God."
* In Old Persia it was called "the indwelling divine potential" (fravashi or fravarti).
* In the Mithraic liturgy it was called "the perfect body" (soma teilion).
* In the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo, it is called "the divine body, : composed of supramental substance.
* In the philosophy of Teilhard de Chardin, it is called "the ultrahuman."
Further, John White writes: "The traditions speak of the process in different ways. Is the immortal body created or released, attained or manifested? Is it preexistent within the individual and the gross matter body simply "burnd" away? Or is the gross matter of the body altered through a process not yet recognized by physical science, which changes atoms of flesh into something unnamed on the Periodic Table Elements? Is there more than one route to the final, perfected form of the human body-mind? Is it necessary to actually die biologically, or is there an alternate path to the light body that bypasses physical death?
These are provocative questions which remain to be explored. However this state is achieved, the perfected individual is then capable of operating within ordinary space-time through that altered vehicle of consciousness which is immortal. That vehicle of consciousness is no longer carbon-based as is biological flesh. Rather, it is composed of a finer, more ethereal form of energy substance unknown to conventional physics, but long known to metaphysics and higher mysticism. That condition is, for the individual, the most exalted stage of higher human development; for humanity in general, it is the final stage of evolution."

So there we have it. Good questions - and one who attains the 'Immortal Soul' status, can answear in detail.
I tried to find John White on the internet and failed. I made several attempts to contact other (authors) scholars who study world's wisdom traditions and failed. I know already, even if I did find/made contact, they wouldn't be able with their mind's intellect accept my Depth data's conclusion. I have engaged few scholars who studied wisdom traditions in Facebook groups, who ended up blocking me for daring to defend my peer supprted conclusion. These men, in their podcast talks with like-minds say things like: 'it will be thousands of years before we know the ultimate truth.'
So, how dare I, a female, and a big nobody dares to bother the big shots with her 'stories?!
My peers have my back: From blog on 'Vidyas in the Upanishads' - in auromere.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/vidyas-in-the-Upanishads/ - the following quote absolutely makes sense to me:
"During the practive of Yoga, at some point the Purusha (Soul) disengages from Prakriti (body) and then stands apart and gains indifference from the sensations. When the Sun of higher consciousness establishes itself in the body, it unleashes the rays of fire which illuminate everything within. This power floods the senses with the nectar of Soma juice and then all contacts are turned into a feeling of bliss."
I am grateful for Sri Aurobindo's brilliance - he who knew that the Guardians of Light have a moral duty to obey the inner call of our vocation "in service to the Divine", no matter what! We crave not 'recognition' from anyone. . .We absolutely enjoy supporting like-minded 'Light Guardians'. Vivekananda has my back:
"Wisdom that comes directly from God and with the means that brings proof of God's reality through personal experience. + Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves.".
Shabd Yoga Master, Kripal Singh confirms for us: "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) 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 emerges as His primary attributes."
Will end this riff on something Aurobindo articulated for those of us who heard and responded to the call: "Trust the Divine Will and its Support." & "It is only divine love which can bear the burden I have to bear, that all have to bear who have sacrificed everything else to the aim of uplifting earth of its darkness towards the Divine. The Galileo-like 'I don't care' would not carry me one step; it would certainly not be divine. It is quite another thing that enables me to walk unweeping and unlamenting towards the goal." + "One cannot be said to be in the full Yogic condition - for the purpose of this Yoga - if one cannot take up with willingness any work given to one as an offering to the Divine."
