interesting discourse...
if one sits and thinks about this at some great length, and considers that there are many occult references to various sexual "mysteries" or components of accomplishing the Great Work -- and, ahem, this great new interpretation of K&C -- the F&S of the HGA well...
for me and my experiences thus far, there certainly is the attainment of a wide variety of bliss states and others seeming to rival the wildest tales of tantra enlightenment -- contemplating the beauty of the Beloved in the present moment of love-making
and it is very easy to lose oneself in that experience and by means of psychological projection, think of the experience being unique to oneself and that particular person... acknowledging that there might very well be unique factors to one's relationship to that specific other -- combined astrological synastry that indicates chemistry of cosmic proportions and whatever else, giving rise to the perception that WOW THIS IS UNIQUE AND MINDBLOWING
but, my question is: who is having their mind blown? who is having the sensations ripple through the body? who is turned on to such a level that they have the unique and mindblowing perception that they are seeing god or that they are experiencing oneness with god? who is experiencing themselves beyond time? or whatever else?
to me, the state of enrapture ITSELF is a projection... and the miracle of the ecstatic state is not necessarily that object that we adore -- but the fact that the joy, the bliss, the ecstasy is really a self-intoxication -- that the feelings are purely and simply: self-arising, bio-chemical events manufactured by the body and mind of the perceiver. wow, talk about the ultimate masterbation! and, yet, there IS the perception (and real experience) of the unique ability of one person, or another person, to DO IT for us, so that others pale in comparison. all, again, a type of maya or illusion, in the moment.
therefore, contemplating my lover -- it's all a dance of the HGA.
...
as far as auditory and other sensory perception goes, the latest ground-breaking work in neuro-psychology gives some real scientific explanations for how this may be occuring... and how, yes, human beings ARE capable of developing some amazing (what may be called) super-conscious traits -- but perhaps, as humans evolve, may one day in the future become more 'ordinary' human-mind capability (ahem, the evolution of the species, maybe?).
if i consider my body and all the correlate nerves ("wiring") and sense organs as a kind of potential RADIO device of sorts... (not that i know much about electronics or engineering so maybe this is a strange example) ... then, so 'tuned in' to the appropriate frequency or the 'receiver' refined enough to measure and interpret such subtle signals -- i might be able to LISTEN deep enough -- and HEAR such communication.
i think that what i'm saying may sound wierd if i don't give the example of some recent work i've been exploring in the field of somatic psychology -- and, in particular, the work of burt hellinger:
www.familyconstellationwork.com/Constellation.htm
"[After being placed in the "psychic field" individuals report that they] amazingly will feel the inner reality of the person or state they stand for. They will begin to experience feelings and thoughts, moods and even physical sensations of the person they represent. "
in neuro-psychology, this phenomenon is being explained scientifically by suggesting that certain parts of the brain (in particular, the LIMBIC system) may be responsible for the ability of the human to "read" (hear/interpret) VERY SUBTLE bio-electric wave-impulses -- accross physical distance.
in this very same sense, then, i totally imagine that K&C - F&S of the HGA, is a TOTALLY REAL event, TOTALLY PHYSICALLY EXPERIENCED AND PERCEIVED -- and totally an experience arising through the body and consciousness of the individual.
the fact that some describe this as a type of sexual experience -- or that sexual experience is part of the greater experience, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. it does, however, leave me wondering... and perhaps a little bit turned on
