Chapter 22 - Rebirth and Other Worlds; Karma, 165. How does delight express itself in us? and the Ignorance It is the original cause of this incapacity. Chapter 20 - Death, Desire, and Incapacity Comparing Overmind and Mind, we may come near to it. Therefore, we must conclude, not a subconscious mind but a Supermind that projects the Mind as its special form of knowledge-will that guides the Nature.*. Science helps reduce pain.

This is an analysis, not an explanation. The goal of the new life is abolition of egoistic values and reaching beyond limitation, ignorance, death, suffering and evil. 7. Effort to exceed ego limits is another. What is necessary for the spatial and temporal play alone takes place. Therefore this is not the only formula. The law of interchange demands that what devours, must bed evoured. Therefore, a principle superior to Mind must exist. 246. In Supermind, the Idea is a vibration of the being pregnant in itself. Existence is movement; movement is Time and Space. The second relation is that of the material Nature. All Nature is simply the Seer-Will, the Knowledge-Force o fthe Conscious-Being at work to evolve in force and form all the inevitable truth of the Idea into which it has originally thrown itself.*. Only in the evolution of concealed Superconscient Powers of Cosmic truth, the harmony we strive for can be achieved in the very fibre of our being. Change of form is the sole immortality for finite living substance. Overview. * Therefore it is predetermined in its self-knowledge and at every moment in its self-working. As delight is missed for egoistic reason, as it is represented by its opposite even as being is masked by death, that which lives cannot be satisfied except by laying its hand on the delight.*. 184. *, The multiple purushas do not each inhabit a separate world of its own, do not possess a separate Prakriti. Life itself is darkened and is subject to death, limitation etc. Vedic Rishis called the Supermind the Fourth, Turiya. Matter which involves the higher principles is under pressure of the higher to evolve. Mind is further involved in its Life-Force and therefore becomes subconscious. Assuming the Existence is a conscious being, the why arises. These perversions appear to us as dualities and oppositions.*.

Mind cannot make this greater truth of unity the basis of its practical intelligent operations.With external objects the difficulty is greater. 2) where it partakes of the nervous energy that belongs to our organisation. Subconscious Mind manifesting as Force created the material world. Such a freedom is there in hypnosis.

Being gives the effect of substance, consciousness the effect of knowledge, will the self-fulfilling force. 1) In its existence it would be Pure Infinity, Immortal life, unlimited consciousness, Delight and free variation of Bliss. It does not mean man is dead but is active mentally, but the physical functioning has stopped while mind is active. 83. Mind, not separated from Supermind, is capable of that Supreme order. Culture denotes a way of life. They are outflows of the divine life in the human soul. Movement is Space and Movement in Time alone exist, objective and subjective. A mind subject to its own play will create that limitation. 168. The appearance of Matter is due to the dividing action of Mind. 260. Still Matter, in its self-creative action, is Brahman. Mind induces itself to regard as a separate conscious subject and the form a separate conscious object of its mentality.

From the gulf of the impulse to possess and the force of possession, DESIRE arises. The fine flower of the fourth is the pure and full emergence of the original will, the illumined fulfillment of the desire, the high deep satisfaction of the conscious interchange of Love by the unification of the state of the possessor and possessed in the divine unity of the souls which is supramental existence.*. Characterised by diffusion of permanent attraction and repulsions, water comes as fourth.*. Its consciousness would not be shut out from any part of the infinite Truth, unlimited by any poise or status, without loss of self-knowledge, by phenomenal individuality, it would enjoy its self-experience eternally in the presence of the Absolute.*. The ancient seers believed in this possibility. The paradox of Divine Life in animal body is justified to Reason by the concept of evolution. All existences as individuality -- basis of individuality. We can withdraw into That. I'm sure that the "Overview Opening" opens the door to many thousands perhaps who might turn away from it otherwise." A more complete affirmation needs to recognise the descending movement of the Divine like the Vedantins. There is a spiritually conceptive difference ending in practical distinction which creates the series, ascending and descending, from Spirit to Matter.*. *, Aggregation admits the necessity of dissolution.*.

Incapacity that generates strife rises to increase the power of both the contending forces and ends in Love. The relations will be relations of being, of conscious-ness and knowledge and delight. The world is making for a marvelous unity behind the discords. [CDATA[ As the higher principles are all involved in the lower principles, they compel Matter to evolve them back again.*. 132. This character persists in life and in subtle matter, reappears in gross Matter as the final lapse. 162. As its force is capable of creating infinite forms, its delightis capable of infinite variation of self-delight.*. Its final goal is the emergence of the infinite consciousness in the individual. Even the mental, psychic energies in the body do not perish. So Divine life is not possible here unless there is an intermediate link. The law of Overmind generates the possibility of struggle. Because Mind has lapsed from its dividing function to a divided status, it has lost its unity. Infinite consciousness in its infinite action can produce only infinite results; to settle upon a fixed Truth or order of Truths and build a world in conformity with that which is fixeddemands a selective faculty of knowledge commissioned to shapefinite appearances out of infinite Reality. Therefore the world is the thing where His force must achieve self-delight. The Origin is the principle of Satchidananda. In the Overmind each could be a separate power of a composite harmony. *, Therefore Supermind is Being moving out into determinative self-knowledge which wills to realise certain perceivedtruths in temporal and spatial extension of its own timeless,spaceless existence.*. Without the dimensions of Space and Time manifestation is not possible. First operative principle of Supermind: It is cosmic vision, all-comprehensive, all-pervading, all-inhabiting. The higher is the source of existence and the cosmos its expression. Supermind is a word inadequately expressive. In 1939 and1940 Sri Aurobindo revised The Life Divine for book publication. .

Its evolution is helped by the opening of the finer bodies behind the gross body. Pure Reason and Intuition testified as to Existence. The struggle of the limited for increasing their capacity by that struggle is the first law of Life. Man is set on finding a harmony and it can come only from above. Instead of the 7 principles of Vedas, let us have 8, the latter four being the subordinate aspects of the first four. Mind's efforts at enlargement are hampered by the physicality of its instruments. We must aspire for the Ascent. This all is one, not many. *, It can take aspects of the Eternal and treat each aspect as the, Mind can even set one aspect against the other, e.g. and the Ignorance, The Origin and Remedy of Falsehood, Substance, in its ascension, bases itself upon each of these principles. It can regard the Lover only as the means of expression of Love. The Supermind not only perceives but indwells and works out this emergence.*. *, Substance is the form in which Mind acting through sense contacts the conscious Being of which it is itself a movement of knowledge.*. 177. 5. Mind, vital and body are divided within themselves. Supermind is vast, all-comprehensiveness, self-formulation of Truth, fused knowledge and will. He becomes the Master of his own responses, not a slave of external touches. Mind is a dark figure of the Supermind. It apprehends them by its own mode of awareness. But these truths that are beyond the perception of the senses are within reach of the perception of reason. Matter needs an extreme fragmentation of the Infinite. Progress needs Time and Space.
