Hello My Friends, forgive me for my long absence

[Guest guest]

I have been quite busy these few months, mainly in private study. I

have been focusing on the scriptures of many religions, from the

Upanishads, the New Testament, the Zoroastrian Avesta, onto the Papal

Vuh of the Mayan civilization.

 

Along with, I have been reading some of the Great philosophers,

especially my favs: Sri Aurobindo, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Xavier

Zubiri.

 

When on reads the glorious " Life Divine, " his conclusions seem to be

reverberated in many other schools.

 

" The Critique of Dialectical Reason " of Sartre is a secularized

version of The Life Divine. By dialectical, he uses the

thesis " individual " and antithesis " groups/society/nature " to create

the synthesis " Totality. "

 

This is very reminiscent of TLD's call that Man is an expression of

the all through the one. That the goal of Man is basically a

divinised humanism, in which the Divine descends upon the Earth,

Supramentalises matter and being through Totalisation.

 

 

And just to ask real quickly, this question arose through my journey:

IS all of humanity a general recycling of souls, justifying a finite

limit in creation, or is there a continual creation of new beings,

allowing for an inifinite source of praxis, thus greatening the

ability to Totalise/Supramentalise?

Welcome back Serapic!

 

After reading Aurobindo, Im surprised you find anyone else

interesting. Anyway, my suggestion is dont waste time with dry

intellectual discussions(which is what most philosophers do- no

offense, but none of them had any practical meditative experience).

Other than Aurobindo, try books of Osho, another Master. Remember what

the Isha Upansihad says:

 

" To dark worlds go those attached to ignorance, but even darker worlds

those attached to knowledge(bookish) " .

 

Finally, your question:

There is an infinite number of souls- they keep rising from stone to

plant to animal to man to Deva to Divine. When one person becomes

enlightened, it makes no difference to Nature & all other souls, who

continue as before.

 

PS- Dont use fancy words like Supermentalise. The Supermind is only

for those who have become free from death. First you have to use

normal methods to achieve Moksha/Nirvana, only then can you think of

reaching the Supermind. Till then it is just an intellectual term with

no meaning.

I hold Sri Aurobindo in very high regard, well as the Epitome, it is

just interesting that Sartre also caught some glimpse of the Divine

interconnected within our being.

 

So there is such thing as Universal truth, whichever the Individual

chooses as a path, as Sri Ramakrishna states, all paths lead to God.

 

Right now I am working on concentrating my mind not to become

distracted from my thoughts. However, I believe that I have reached

the first Tranformation out of the three, or approaching it. BUt my

thoughts are being infused by the spirit for sure.

 

I wonder if this could be a new phenomena? The fact that I can

comprehend Aurobindo not only in my mind, but in my heart is

astounding on what I have heard from others. I especially love the

chapter, " The Eternal and the Individual. "

 

I humbly as of you all to read this chapter. Also these as well. His

conceptions on time in the Eternal are revolutionary in the sense of

truth being un-witheld:

 

Book 2, Part 1

Ch.1: Indeterminates and Cosmic Determinations

Ch.2: Brahman, Purusha, Ishwara

thanks macro,

 

Shri aurobindo is one of those very few persons, who did not reject

world as Maya. After Shankracharya, the hindu mind took renunciation

as the right path, and anyone induldged in the world, was not taken

seriously on the path of sadhna

 

Shri Aurobindo, broke this myth and accepted the world as the body of

God. His methods do not talk of suprressing any wordly desire, but

transcending them.

 

Osho also took the same view, but his ways were so rebellious that

those were rejected by religions.

 

The biggest emphasis aurobindo lays on Self-surrender. He stressed

on Gita's shloka

According as I am appointed by Thee O Hrishikesh! seated in my

easier to accomplish the scond stage and live in the knowledge of the
