High-causal bhava samadhi – sublevel D by Marinus Jan Marjis
Post integral philosophy Blog by MJM
Experienced at the age of twenty-nine.
The pressure that had been present in the spine for the previous weeks now became more intense. The activity in the spine seemed to push outward. This kind of activity had already been there for more than ten years, but the intensity with which it now manifested was new. It seemed that there was much more energy than the system could deal with.
On a Monday afternoon, the pressure became even more intense. Thursday night (26/27 august 1982) this pressure was still there. To discover what was happening, I started to focus my attention on the layered subtle energy structures within the aura field. As usual, within a few minutes the field with its different colors became visible and there was a rapid shift to the higher fields.
The colors of the aura field were bright and the substructures within the aura field were even stronger and somewhat brighter than normal. This shift through the different fields took about ten minutes. Repeating the process about fifteen minutes later produced the same result. There was still no indication as to why there was such a strong pressure in the spine.
After another five minutes, again focusing on the subtle energies, within a few minutes the aura field became visible: I saw a violet color at the top, at eye-level a ‘cloud’ of yellow, below that a light blue layer, below that a light green layer and at the bottom of the field a light red layer (see figure 2, no. 2). ↓
After one or two minutes the next shift came to a higher level. The colors at this level were brighter than they were at the lower level. They occupied about the same position as in the lower-level field, with the exception of the yellow color, which on this level was an orb of yellow energy about 20 cm across, see figure 3. ↓
This yellow colored orb was located just in front of the forehead and moved slowly outward, towards the edge of the aura, where it slowly dissolved to be replaced by another yellow orb in front of the forehead, and so on. These orbs were generated at a rate of approximately 4.7 seconds. See movement-patterns
A further shift took place to the next level, and these pulsating yellow energy orbs started to alternate with violet-colored orbs, see figure 8 ↓ : yellow, violet, yellow, violet, and so on, one after the other.
The time lapsing between two yellow orbs was still 4.7 seconds, as was the time between two violet orbs. Accordingly: yellow + 2.35 seconds, violet + 2.35 seconds, yellow… and so on. This alternation of the colored orbs is directly connected to the big yellow and violet nadis that crisscross each other at the center of the chakras in front of the body (see figure 37 ↓ ).
Going up to the next level, the yellow subtle energy no longer comes from the forehead chakra but from the crown chakra. This yellow subtle energy starts above the crown chakra and then slowly moves downwards till it reaches shoulder-height, where it dissolves, to be replaced by another wave of yellow subtle energy, starting above the crown chakra, and so on (see figure 9). Here also, the time lapsing between two waves of energy is approximately 4.7 seconds.
The nadi’s are the subtle energy channels that connect the chakras which are described within the Hindu philosophy. Christ called the nadi’s “Streams of living water”, and the seven seals of the apocalypse refer to the chakras. Drawings of the nadi’s and the chakras that one finds in yoga textbooks are stylized and presumably not drawings that were made by those who did see them.
I made some more accurate realistic drawings of these channels and chakras. See here below

This whole process of seeing subtle energies with their movement patterns is something that could be repeated at will, and had been done literally thousands of times. However, what took place on this occasion was something of a totally different magnitude. While watching these yellow waves of subtle energy descending from the crown chakra (outside of the physical body, not descending within the nadi’s), the pulsating movement was visible and the energy wave came down every time, reaching shoulder height and then dissolving. After a few minutes, the yellow energy suddenly became much stronger, and instead of stopping at shoulder height, it continued streaming down to below the heart. By that time the yellow energy was drawn into the heart chakra. The energy was felt ascending inside the subtle energy channels (nadi’s). The next wave of yellow energy that came down from the crown chakra, came down as far as knee level, and was now drawn into all seven chakras.
When this energy entered the heart chakra, the feeling of serenity already present at the time suddenly transformed into a high form of mystical ecstasy. When the energy was felt rising up the spine, there was an accompanying audible psychic sound (not physically audible). When the energy entered the chakra at the base of the spine, the sound started as an “A” and when it reached the crown chakra it became an “M”. (The realization came that this was where the mantric syllable “AUM” of the Hindus originated from).
When the energy reached the crown chakra, the psychic sound turned into a humming sound. The ovoid aura field expanded in about 15 or 20 seconds into a sphere shaped aura field of 32 meters across in diameter, consisting of five concentrically-layered fields of different colors.
This was the ultimate experience, the most supreme. Symphonies of light, colors, sounds, movement. Tremendous expansion, immense happiness. Encircled by shining orbs filled with living light. Oneness with the divine. Liquid light, flowing through the rivers of the landscape of infinity. A state of unspeakable glory, inexpressible luminosity, magnificent splendour. This was the most sublime experience. A crippled dancer washed ashore on the shoreline of eternity.
While it took only about 15 to 20 seconds to form this 32 meter spherical field, it remained that size for about two hours and twenty minutes (1hour 55 After midnight to about 4hours 15 After midnight), effortlessly.
From a technical point of view
Its intensity must have been many thousands of times greater than any physical sensory or any mental experience. It was the maximum activation of concentrated subtle energy which is possible for a human on a high-causal level.
To quantify this different bhava samadhi’s into ‘tens of times’, ‘hundreds of times’, ‘thousands of times’ and ‘many thousands of times’ may seem a strong exaggeration but this is not only felt, but these energies are also visible as an ovoid field of 2/3.3 meters and spheres of,
6, 14, 32 meters across of which the volume can be calculated by the formula:
Volume = 1/6 Pi x d x d x d. This makes it possible to calculate the difference in energy level.

The concentrically-layered sphere of 32 meters across had five different transparent colors. From the outside to the inside: red, green, blue, violet and in the center yellow. Within each layer there were energetic substructures, all of which were shaped like orbs with diameters ranging from 15 to 90 cm (see figure 2, no. 5). These energy orbs were of the same color as the layer they were in. Accordingly, the energy orbs in the red layer were all red, the orbs in the green layer were green, and so on. The orbs were even brighter and more intense than the surrounding field they moved through. They were of brilliant color, glowing intensely.
- The orbs follow an orbit around the central point of the total field;
- They also rotate around their own axis.
During that movement the energy orb rotates around its own axis, its rotation axis points more or less to the central point of the total field. If the energy orb moves in orbit which goes in front of the body from right to left, the rotation of the energy orb around its axis is counter clockwise. When these orbs suddenly appear, they move in a more or less elliptical orbit in relation to the central point of the total field. However, they remain inside the layer of the same color that they are in, and do not cross into another layer.
As each orb appears and follow its elliptical orbit, it produces a (non-physical) musical sound, which continues until the orb disappears. The more rapid the orb’s rotation, the faster the tempo of the musical sound it produces (see figure 10).
A succession of orbs close to each other in the same orbit (always of the same color and in the same-colored layer) produces melodic sounds. If there are several orbs simultaneously orbiting in different-colored layers of the total (32m) field, then the movement and the rotation of these orbs produces audible harmonic chords. The more energy an orb has, the greater its luminosity and the louder the sound it produces.

The more energy an orb has, the greater its luminosity and the louder the sound it produces.
When these energy orbs appear, they always move in an orbit and rotate around their axis. They are transparent, perfectly round: a completely solid concentration of brilliantly luminous substance which is intensely radiant. They are always of one color, but have four to six white spots on their surface.
After some time, the energy of each orb gradually diminishes, its luminosity dims, and the loudness of the tone it produces diminishes and fades away. Finally the orb loses its energy altogether and is no longer visibly or audibly perceptible. The musical sounds produced by the orbs resonate within the total field and this renders them round and full.
What is being described here is not a form of synesthesia (the neurological mixing of the physical senses). These colors and sounds are not symbolic and these experiences are neither metaphorical nor associative.
The colors of the aura fields are not waves of radiation from the electromagnetic spectrum, but visually they are experienced in the same way as transparent colors in the physical world. The audible psychic sounds perceived at this level can be compared in the same way with sounds in the physical world. The energy orbs that are substructures in the layers of the total field are sized at between 15 and 90 cm across. The small orbs (approximately 15 cm) give high tones and the big ones (approx. 90 cm) give low tones. For example, a small red orb of 15 cm produces a sound more or less like the sound of a violin, while a large red orb (± 90 cm) sounds more or less like a double bass. The green orbs sound like wind instruments, such as the flute or the horn. The blue orbs sound more or less like a piano, the violet orbs like bells and the yellow orbs like a harp.
There is, then, a remarkable correspondence between the five color groups of the high-causal aura field and the instrumental groups in a modern symphony orchestra. Moreover, there is a remarkable correspondence between the musical melodies and harmonies experienced in the highest form of bhava samadhi and the themes, melodies and harmonies in classical music.
The highest form of bhava samadhi is at a high-causal level, which is the level of the divine. A chapter about the music of the spheres, quotes the great classical composers describing the source of their inspiration, demonstrates that the greatest composers who have ever lived were all quite convinced that the source of their inspiration was the divine. It is here where the highest form of inspiration and the highest form of mysticism meet.
