Concentric layers of consciousness make up the Universe

Comment posted by Sandeep

I don't know what to make of Satprem's remarks.  Did he say this out of spiritual insight or was it just speculation?  Sri Aurobindo and the Mother repeatedly said that the future is a play of Forces - that everything is not completed worked out.   As you (i.e. Anon) may have read in their works, there are concentric layers of consciousness from the gross to the subtle which make up the Universe.   It is only when an event is fixed in the subtle-physical that one can say with certitude that it will manifest in a certain fashion.   Everything in the worlds above is subject to modification.
For instance, both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother had seen India's freedom in their visions around 1910 but they did not know until much later that there would also be a partition.

Two Precious Gifts « Overman Foundation

Dear Friends, It gives me immense bliss to announce to you all that Overman Foundation has received two precious gifts from two senior sadhikas of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. And the gifts are a sari with a blouse worn by the Mother and a piece of cloth belonging to Sri Aurobindo.

These rare gifts will adorn the shrine of Overman Foundation and be brought out for public darshan on special occasions.

With warm regards, Anurag Banerjee

Chairman, Overman Foundation.

You have revealed the ugly force behind the book in your revelatory, and by far the best critique that there exists. True, eloquent and masterful are both your comments. Posted by Anonymous to Savitri Era at 12:37 PM, September 21, 2010
