Rich imagery

Somehow, I can not buy into Rod's argument that although things are imperfect today in 50 years (or maybe longer) there will be those in Auroville who actual faithfully practice the yoga of Sri Aurobindo and will be the prototypes of an Gnostic Being. In fact at present to my mind this is pretty close to magical thinking. But it also seems to smack of the enlightenment idea of linear progress.

Although I agree that Auroville may actually be privileged in this respect, but my own thoughts on giving such special status to Auroville is actually quite decisive that this is not unlike certain Zionist who see the multi-dimensional New Jeruselum collapsed into the one dimensional space of the state of Isreal as ending history. (Moreover, even if this is a departure from AV doxa, I believe what Mother would envision for the township today is anyones guess?)

As I said I do have faith in Sri Aurobindo's vision and certainly see him and the Mother as annunciating a new future, its just that I think this future will baffle any formulation we can currently conceive. rich by Rich on Thu 12 Oct 2006 12:11 PM PDT Permanent Link
