Sri Aurobindo is likely to say the intelligence of the cell

We could discuss this problem our entire lives you realize. Within a punishment-reward cosmology people normally sense Spirit and the spiritual as being something removed, revered and prone to dominate one into conformed silence. This is so in the fear based poverty consciousness paradigm that is prettymuch wholesale over the globe. We thus intuit God as a dictatorial parent, we the errent child and the Void as a place of purgatory for the sin of being born. Daily social interaction usually reinforces this model. We thus come into the world guilty until proven worthy through achieving enough sovereignty to break out of this cosmic egg.

From my own experience when Spirit quickens and Presence rises within us the filters between the subconscious-conscious-superconscious are penetrated. Thus we have more access to atomic superconducted consciousness from the primary perception level and this gives us radically expanded sensory and extrasensory abilities. In this sense going down into matter directly correlates to increased spiritual presence. Aurobindo is likely to say the intelligence of the cell, and the intelligence of the atom become consciously perceived. It is all energy anyway...matter, consciousness and void. My conception of it is thus...as we become more rarified and organized and all systems and cells in the body fall into synchronization there is a point at which bodymind drops off as the Void is directly perceived. It is the still lake of perfect perception idea ie: Pure awareness. Thus even if we can only view this in philosophical terms it appears to me that the zero-point energy and the Void of emptiness are indeed the same thing.

Of course in the punishment-reward cosmologies you will never gain adequate organic peace to come to the point of dropping bodymind and entering Void. Thus mythic religions are not true spiritual traditions because they fail to offer the ultimate.
