AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VISION OF SAVITRI








Fifteen years ago I could positively consider I made some step in what is called integral yoga. Of course, it was not a product of my own judgment but rather the fact that, incredibly as it may appear, I met Sri Aurobindo. 
During the year of my forced seclusion I met several times the Master and had some subtle vision of Auroville. In addition to it I was allowed to witness some early akashic registers of the humankind, pages lost forever for the history, of which only remain trace on the akashic registers. The sequence of the encounters with the Master was encumbered by a great vision of Savitri and chronological  sequences of future history on earth till a new man supplanted the previous species.

Bear it, you would know not of those inner experiences of mine unless I had been so required by the Master himself: if something, I only failed in finding better words to describe the beauty of the experiences and the deep joy of my heart and the bliss which overwhelmed me every time I met the Master. 


In that unforgettable period of my life I discovered,  far from my own expectations, that the Master had been following my inner development: he knew me very well, to the point of considering me worthy of his presence and of carrying his  personal message to the destined public.



 I was asked to share the content of the visions, and I assure you that when I accepted it, I had not the remotest idea of how difficult it could result, it was so full of intricate mysteries which kept me in solitary study during a number of years.

Beside, you can imagine which kind of effect may have on your whole life meeting such a Master: a real revolution, it comes to question everything in your life, but it gives also strength and confidence for the task ahead. Now I don't feel alone anymore in my spiritual quest because I know now that the Master is silently following my steps, as surely is following the steps of all those who have accepted the challenge of integral yoga with a sufficient degree of sincerity, aspiration and compromise.

The experiences with him, as you can read, demonstrates that the Master is quite aware in details of what happens in Auroville and elsewhere, and of people.

Please do not confuse me with the message because I do not advance any claim in this sense: I am not myself the message but only the messenger, and  you should consider me as a scribe which faithfully reported all the experiences which were meant to be of your knowledge.

I wish to underline here I know about integral yoga since forty five years now, though I never really considered myself as specially  fit for the task, and it is rather true the contrary;
for circumstances I have developed into something much like an independent mind and an independent researcher, never summing up myself to any existing doctrine or spiritual tendency etc. For those very reasons I had not a special motivation to consider Sri Aurobindo as my own guru though deeply respectful of his teaching, and yet, it was him which I met. 

 In a sense it is not of my concern -why- Sri Aurobindo wanted this material to be known to you: I did not ask him and he did not tell me. I may venture some hypotheses, but only the reader may know the answer.  I think there may be several reasons, not only one. Some of them I suggested here in my writings,  I think the material is mainly directed to people which has some connection with his teaching and recognize the terms employed, though I'm convinced that it is material for a wider audience.
In second instance, I think it is dependent on the personal receptivity of the reader. 
Unavoidably the whole matter turns around experiencing with subtle body and subtler reality and the establishing of an intuitive knowledge, all subjects which arose the legitimate interest of any reader familiar to the Master´s teaching and anyhow interested in their own inner development. That is why I took special care in describing not only the meetings but how I experienced it and what I could feel while in my subtler physical body.


 In no moment Sri Aurobindo told me that communicate the whole thing was going to be a simple task, so be tolerant with my efforts, his teaching ( at least his personal teaching with me I mean) results so ample in perspectives, takes in so many elements, that I suspect even myself which had the experience have never wholly understood it, nor I pretend to have said and discovered all that can be said and discovered about it.



I sometimes have found myself  in the need of interweaving the presentation of the original material with some personal experience or some collateral argument, you may not agree with some of my conclusion, but you are due not to doubt as far facts are concerned: all I relate here really happened, and I share them with the purest of the intention.

You are not due to necessarily believe in my experiences in conscious sleep or in a subtler physical reality.  I report them as faithfully as possible as to be matter of investigation for people with a genuine interest in them. 
I apology if you found a better work of presentation could be made, but it failed the help of a dear collaborator which had the necessary technical knowledge. 


The trajectory of my personal relation with Sri Aurobindo is not in question and subsidiary here in this work, I´m not meant to talk of it in details.

OM REVISITED





A new and important page was written when the Nobel Prizes Penzia and Wilson accidentally discovered a steady cosmic microwave background radiation (MBR), they reasoned that the Big Bang must have scattered a tremendous blast of radiation too, an echo of that blast was still in existence and they had detected it as a low steady noise which persisted in their receiver. A sound which actually permeated the whole cosmos.

The ancient rishi said that the sound OM permeates and sustains the universe, a sound of divine origin which belief we found at the root of other religions as the Christian with its AMEN. 

The first time I heard a low persistent  sound much like a continuous vibration it seamed coming from nowhere and being everywhere.
 I actually thought I heard some high voltage wires somewhere, but I soon realized there where no such things around, and anyway if that, why I hadn´t ear it before.
 I had been more than one year in that place without earing that sound before, at that time I lived in an ancient water mill which still had water though not in use anymore. It was rather a spartan existence, no electric light and had to lit a fire if wanted to eat.

I accidentally had a little book where the Master...explained some slokas about the sound Om, but his explication seamed to me inconclusive in which I didn´t ear the sound Om, so long I was concerned I had to accept it as a theory but not as a fact. 
It was at that time I first started to ear the sound, which has never ceased since.
Weeks later I realized it did not depend on the place itself, I could still ear it while away on the hills around there. 

It did not present itself under the familiar apotheosis of the literature of my younger years (Hesse etc.) but rather as a discrete continuous sound of unknown origin. After exhausting the possibility of a sudden physical anomaly or an environmental precedence, I had to accept a sound was objectively there where before there wasn´t any and could not avoid earing it. 
 Objectively there, much as air and breeze a sound too, a discrete vibration like a prolonged oooooooo...(the "m" must be there to stop the sequence).
 Of course it had, it has a certain fashion this immutable never ending sound, it makes you think of very dilated epochs, instinctively associated with some energetic process.

It did not present itself as a revelation or any kind of divine intervention, simply it was not there and a moment later made its discrete presence,  I wasn´t remotely thinking about the sound Om, did not meditate but shared the tendency of making daily life an extended meditation, and that was my attitude though occasionally unsuccessful.

When I concentrated on it appeared as produced by some kind of electronic device which would sporadically alter the basic note.
 I could ear it stereo but when concentrating on it seamed right on the top of my head, but suddenly I would realize was not truly there but permeated everything around me and even within. I was not even sure I heard it only with my ears, sometimes it seems I ear it within, other without.
In time, I noticed that alcohol interfere till it´s in the blood stream, temporarily blocking the possibility of earing the vibration. 
  
I should say I do not often attach religious feelings to some experience, I rather observe them as an analyst in a laboratory and certainly would not built a religion about the sound Om.

 When I definitively left the water mill I discovered I could still ear the vibration, and I do ear it now while I write about it. I can easily ear it when it´s night time because of the silence, during the noisy hours  of day-light I can´t ear it, or only if in some quieter place or in nature. Once started it has not ceased anymore, and seemingly I have to accept to live with it the rest of my life.

This sound has not made me any better, I mean, nothing has really depended on its apparition, I sometimes use to silently listen to it, it has become somehow familiar, I don´t have to do any effort to ear it, it simply appears when there is enough silence.

  I don´t see it as a mystic thing, nor I have for it any special veneration, it is simply there, a low constant vibration which in itself is neutral. 
It do not bear any sign of divine origin, and I´m convinced that an ancient religious mind with its extended background of earlier superstitions would have attached to it some religious feeling, but to myself with rather a modern and scientific attitude, it is a never ending vibration which would strangely fit into Penzia´s and Wilson discovery and the rishi´s personal experience. 

I´m overly convinced that the MBR is the very vibration spoken of by the rishi, and we are simply assisting to an ancient teaching now irrefutably demonstrated by modern science.
Modern man has not made yet a relation between both, I wonder now if the day and night of Brhama and other calculations are related with observable reality and congruent with a cyclic theory of the universe. 

The religious mind and devotional attitude about the sound Om is even today rather a faith and a practice than a real experience. People resort to special yoga practices in order to ear it, and they nurture about it a devotion which comes from a tradition, if they would ear it factually, always there, immutable all the time, they would see there is not any need of a special worship, or to take it as a special manifestation of the divinity, because indeed there is nothing divine in it -objectively-, it is a result, a reaction.
 I often thought it must have been there before I could ear it, and possibly even before I was born, probably since the universe was born, my opinion  supports the theory that  this vibration is but the remnant of that primeval blast which some people can ear and some instrument now detect.
 To venerate a blast and its remnant is so useless to me as venerating the oxygen, they are mere consequences of the process of creation of the universe.
Religion should be able to adapt to modern times eliminating all the elements of speculation and superstition, modern physics is helping get free of them, notwithstanding it do not really eliminates a divine incidence in the creation but clarifying how it really happened.
Science is not related with the -purpose- of creation, unable to trespass with its instruments the frontier separating matter from the dominion of the divine ideas, it can only be possible through an  inner discovery.

The Book of the Divine Mother VII





I am, we are, servants of the Divine Mother.
 We should feel every day the joy to be useful to her service. It is not a new religion, it is a way of being. One day the religion of the Mother will guide and save the world.

The Divine Mother had a special plan for me since my birth, She kept me under her watchful gaze and my life has been blessed with Her Presence several times, this started at an early age, when I was totally under her control and power.

I know such visits have a dramatic healing power on the human nature, a transformational power which is the sign of her superhuman touch, when you have experienced that touch several times in your life -necessarily- she becomes your highest goal, nothing else seems relevant, you want to see her again, you long for her coming as she were the beloved one which is far from you.  You definitively surrender to her.  It do not means She would answer all my requests to see her, I cannot always reach the intensity of the call which compels her immediate answer,  but sometimes she would surprise me with her unrequested  presence.

She and me knew I was not made to conduct the life of a saint in religious seclusion, moreover I was a rebel and could not bear any kind of authority, though I had always a kind disposition to help. I basically was a sinner, always  ready to transgress any possible rule, but I had nowadays some good point so she gave me for lost and accepted me as I was. Now that I think of it, just as a human mother would.

Our relation started in a previous life, when this soul discovered that the intensity of the call compels always her answer.
 At that time this soul lived secluded in a French monastery.
 In that seclusion, in penitence and by means of an unswerving ardent  call, he was able to provoke the answer of his spiritual mother. When you  tell her as he did, that if she doesn´t come you will persist in your call till death occurs, it is a serious matter, you are making a big noise in the sky and forcing an answer. 
And so she finally did, establishing since then a more personal relation with such an obstinate and importune subject.      

There too, the requests of the personality were smashed under the yoke of an iron Rule annihilating the self in a rigid routine of silence, study, work and prayer. The physical body and its numberless requests severely submitted. 
But a christian monk would steadily stand any physical penance in remembrance of the physical penalties of the Master.
 Pain, physical pain was a way of life, a methodology of action in order to unchain inner reactions which lead to  levels of communion with the Master.

 But because spiritual  growth has to be an integration of all the instruments the Divine Mother provide us to joyfully know and serve her,  rather than an escape from them and a misuse of their functions, in this present time I was back to learn more and make peace with the physical body and the personality.

Call, to call the Divine Mother always compels an answer, it only depends on the intensity of our call if the answer is a silent, indirect one, or even her very Presence in all her glory.
This I experienced many time and I know it´s like that, lukewarm calls or kind of well if you exist come here and show yourself so I can worship you, are improper with our lady, and are likely  to remain unheard. Sometimes her answer has been so timely as much my call  storming. In a sense, she likes to be taken by assault, the rush, the impetus of the call are necessary to conquer the heart of such a silent and yet
close and attentive lover.

My defects have never meant anything to her eyes, otherwise she would have never come,
after all, as Mother of Compassion, is not the perfect man she comes to rescue, but the broken and fallen, toiling one. It is for this last one that her heart bleeds and longs for. So I was in my full right to call for her.

PAGES FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, I


I hold a clear memory of my first moments on earth. After sixty  years I can still recall the experience in full details.

At that moment I was a conscious witness with a deep perception of things, but I had no vocabulary for what I saw, I could see a cloud but I had no name for it or for everything else, just a blank observer.
Next is what I experienced once translated into a language:

I appeared as a bodiless point of consciousness floating on the top floor of a building, it was early dawn and dark clouds where recollecting in the sky menacing with an autumnal storm. 
Far in the distance the grey, almost black mantle of clouds was wounded by a neat cut which opened on a far-off world of everlasting light, sending a recordatory of it through the dark assemblage of clouds.  

I could see kind of silvery features, kind of strings floating in the air coming from the buildings around, later on I understood it was related with the presence of human beings sleeping and dreaming.

Suddenly I was aspired within the building, I passed through pink, half illuminated human fluids  and floated again, this time into a room.
I was now levitating close to the roof of the room where some white globes shaded some light, below me I could see a woman laying in a bed surrounded by four or five people all in white dress and very strong focuses of light illuminating the scene.

I moved towards one of the windows, again I could see the dark clouds and could ear the first heavy drops of rain beating the glasses.

Suddenly a terribly strong thunder resounded all over, I noticed the reaction of the people and some comment, a woman in white was holding a little human body by its feet beating him on his buttocks, that action produced a sudden angry reaction and the little body started to cry,  the woman in the bed stretched out her arms and took the baby over her breast, and I was suck into the little body by the tender action of the woman, which was my mother.

Since then, the approaching autumnal clouds always recall me of my first moments on earth.

In the following months it  started a process of identification -rather an integration- with that little body and with an incipient baby-consciousness other than myself,  at the beginning I could clearly mark a difference, later on all the centers would overlap as a single unity of consciousness, oftentimes I would simply float over the little body observing it with curiosity and concern, the baby had a developing consciousness of its own and could feel my invisible presence  babbling at my direction, sometimes I would be inside the body experiencing it from within, but  in the course of time our identification grew more and more. 

 I could register whatever relevant  and still hold in my memory many such happenings of my early months.

For the matter of explaining my inner life and my early interest for yoga, I remember an event which happened when I was only ten months old, I could not walk with security yet on my legs and alternated  going on hands and knees.

I was a keen observer, and my little mind could already plan some strategy for my own benefit, it was summertime and I noticed that in the afternoon everybody at home  would fall asleep for a while, but if I was awake there was always someone on guard for me, so I started simulate sleeping and wait for everybody else asleep, then I would silently leave the bed and venture myself out in the garden. I really enjoyed experiencing life in the garden all by myself.

That afternoon I ventured a bit farther till I reached a wall of the garden where I discovered a kennel for a dog which had probably died time before, because I never met a dog in the garden.The kennel  imitated a tiny house, with its roof and even a window and an arched entrance.

Of course, the new discovery attracted my attention and I stepped in  on my knees.
I felt very comfortable in that little house, and after exploring it I sat down crossed legs on the floor.

The gentle  breeze stirred the leaves of the trees drawing on the ground a shadow play which attracted my attention with delight: the fine weather, the whisper of the leaves, the air suddenly invaded by the buzz of the flies...  all conspired  to make me feel extremely comfortable.
 While observing the changing spectacle on the floor I was rapt by  its beauty
and  absorbed more and more  into a deep ecstasy, melting away in it. 

 I was called back later on by the worried voices of my mother and aunts, which after their sleep had miss me. 
 I babbled some incoherent sound as an answer and a moment later the smiling face of my mother peered through the entrance stretching her arms towards me.

There was not any rebuke, instead they brought me back home from arms to arms and lips to  lips  kissing and cheering me all the way back  because I was the darling of the house.

Somehow, that early ecstasy was already pointing out the trajectory of my life, but of course, at that moment I had not idea of  later developments.

                                                                        ***   
As I have observed in my life and compared with biographical notes from Sri Aurobindo, Vivekananda and Ramakrishna, as well in autobiographies of cristian saints, ecstasy is progressive, in its first development it requires the stillness of the body, respiration is suspended, the being totally lose self identity and consciousness of the environment.
 Later on,  there is yet the need of a still body, and respiration is suspended too, the mind stills, but the being do not lose self-identity and consciousness of the environment. 
Finally there is another stage, body may be moving, and breath air, mind is silent, the being is conscious of itself and of an eternal presence which seat is somehow above the physical head. 
The study of the stages and progression of the ecstasy is not very common, but it shade light on the process and suggests not only a progression but even a tendency to evolve.
More exactly, there is an evolution of consciousness in it. I mention it here as  a biographical coordinate and an inspiring and revelatory study for anyone to undertake.

THE YOGA OF THE CELLS, I






What exactly is the "yoga of the cells"?

We can surely say it is a yoga which deals with physical matter and body.

Yoga means union or balance of two principles, applied to the cells it is the balance of the two principles which rule the physical body, as in the case of the yin and yang applied to the physical body and in last terms to the cells themselves.

The producing of a stable harmony of the two principles in the physical body is a real science, because it is this expanded harmony in time which may, and surely will, produce substantial changes into the very mental substance through its material counterpart and in last terms an increased harmony of mind and thought.

The integral yoga is an integrity of body mind and soul, in that, the soul takes control of the sadhana directing a superior kind of yoga which has been called integral yoga.

The fact is that not all the aspirants to such yoga can rely upon a direct action of the soul, and the truth is that oftentimes they can´t even aspire to an indirect intervention of the soul, it is because the outer personality is too concentrated on itself and too confidant in its powers, and this creates an heavy curtain which impeaches us to be sensitive to the requirements and suggestions of the soul.

 From another perspective -say a soul perspective-  this tendency of a mind too confidant on its own powers  rather looks as an overstressed mind, because there is nothing that cannot be better achieved by an harmony of the mind and a calm, integrative vision of life rather then an hammering and unresting mind.

It is for this lack of soul power that was suggested a yoga of the cells which is, when it comes under our direct control, a veritable action on our side in the field we may more directly control: the physical body processes and its cells.

In order to produce a change in the cells we need a physical mean, and that is food.

Macrobiotic well understood the need of balancing yin and yang (the basic/alkaline principles in the body), a principle present in any body, even in vegetable bodies.

Macrobiotic as a general principle appears not only in physical bodies but in every expression of life with its subsequent seasons, its days and nights etc, reconnecting and integrating our balancing action on the cells to greater rhythms of life.

It is out of question that among the actual tendencies, macrobiotic is the science which most deepened into the actions, reactions and inter reactions between the two principles which sustain physical body and cells.

In itself macrobiotic is not a new science or an achievement of later times, but it is the result of human observation (and experimentation) since early times and in different cultures all over the world, having at its origin the observation of the two great intervening powers in life: Light and Darkness, with all their court of antinomes as hot and cold, day and night, man and woman, etc.

Well understood, macrobiotic is an integrating and integrative science, which do not merely suggest the use of japanese products but the application of the principles to which they are submitted, and people should be able to do macrobiotic with local available food processing them according to that principles.

Pure food, uncontaminated by chemical products has a great desintoxicating and transforming power on physical bodies, and should be considered the base for the yoga of the cells.

The knowledge and application of the balancing principles is what increases even farther the natural power of pure food, because at length it will produce a refining of our taste and promote the need for an ever increasing assumption of lighter (sattwic) foods through the development of an increased power of assimilation and utilization of all the constituents of that food.

The taste for heavy, tamasic food as meat  etc, will progressively disappear once the body has got rid of the toxins accumulated within the body, and surely it has to be suggested of not pretending a sudden desintoxication because of the real power of organic-macrobiotic food.
 It has been observed that a too strict application of the macrobiotic principles and the use of organic food at the beginning of a change of diet may have as a consequence a too fast release of toxins delivered into the blood stream and other eliminating systems, which the body, untrained for such a task, may not be able to deal with,  producing as a consequence an overload of the elimination systems and a general poisoning of the body.

It is a real serious matter because it produced some death, and the writer here can assure you he had to deal with unexpected and very painful eliminating processes even without the application of a too strict dietary regimen, so please do not undervalue the force and power within pure, uncontaminated by chemical, organic food.


In the long term, anyone who deals with a reconversion of his diet will surely experience not only a change in the health of the physical body and its activities but, what is more, experience a pronounced, balanced harmony of his/her own mind and thoughts.  

Yoga of the cells is the science dealing with physical body through a conscious consumption of pure organic, sattwic food.

                                                                  *********

Humans think: Oh, yoga of the cells? Sounds fine, i'm gonna do that!
As the over-human possibilities were in need of a mental asset of... what after all?
A few ideas to run a yoga of the cell?
To work for themselves, not letting God do his work, is terribly presumptuous, as God were in need of a few badly picked-up ideas on how to run a physical body, from a man that has not even full control on his own body and its continuity.
What a lack of better circumstances to grow!
There are two sections to self-realization, the first one the man is doing the work, which eventually with a lot of unrecognized help from God is succesfull. The second half is when definitively leaves God doing his own work. When this second half is not achieved is because man loves to varnish himself with the divine varnish, the other option is to completely disappear as a human figure -before- ever knowing what will be next and what you will become, only leaving that confiance into the Divine itself. Man can´t imagine what he can become, if he could, it would not be true but a projection of his own mind. 




PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA, IV

Evolutive yoga versus static yoga

Integral yoga much as life, is -it has to be- evolutive, if it weren´t so we would be in  need of another yoga.
When I say evolutive I mean that all that is been written on the subject must be reliable of modifications while life and consciousness evolve on earth.

I don´t think is correct when people makes of integral yoga a static belief, a progression and a transformation which has to be repeated in all the details to be valid, much as yogis produced by a kind of supernatural machine which will make of them a copy of each other.

I found that people often get stuck to their belief opposing them to other creeds, in a childish attempt  to convince themselves (and everybody else) that their yoga is better and higher then others, but in the case of integral yoga, which is evolution itself, we cannot say a final word, and if we could, it wouldn´t be integral yoga at all but a parody.

For these same reasons the words integral yoga will one day be out of date and substituted for other words, but not the principles which were set up in the idea of an integral yoga.

When Sri Aurobindo said that all life is yoga he was saying exactly the above, integral yoga is the yoga of life, and because life is evolution and evolves, integral yoga too is evolution and has to evolve. So, in a sense, integral yoga is condemned to disappear substituted for an ever inclusive yoga, a yoga which cannot be fully described nor one to which we can put a final point, because evolution itself, and its mode, is after all in the hands of the Divine and will be what the Divine will decide it to be.

PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA III



The problem of mistrustfulness


For some reason, some people still cannot accept that I had a personal relation with Sri Aurobindo; instead of taking the chance to reflect on the messages and visions which were meant for them too, they prefer to think that it was not Sri Aurobindo himself but some kind of vital being which took his features to mislead me and the people to whom the visions were directed. (The visions were meant to be public by express wish of the Master).
Evidently, they did not bore in considering the tenor and quality of visions and messages, much less they grasped at my personal trajectory.

The devil or evil of mistrustfulness is, especially in self-thought integral yoga or Sri Aurobindo´s followers, a real danger, and we can plainly talk of a real obsession, directed or suggested (and unconsciously accepted),  by such kind of devils or dark forces, or else beings from a darker vital.

This people end up by following without any kind of control whatever is unconsciously suggested to them because they have some kind of opening in their mental aura,  but of course they are not really innocent because they hold their intellectual scrutiny in high esteem.

"Some people want to be taller than others by cutting their heads!" said once Sri Yukteswar.

The fact remains that they may turn themselves poorly arrogant and unable to accept that someone else other than themselves may have reached or discovered something they couldn´t, this kind of people is never in the disposition to accept that someone may have gone farther than themselves.

Of course, it is a childish and even unhealthy way of thinking, and I mean it literally, because when I was taken to Auroville in my subtle body by Sri Aurobindo, I could  witness how such aura was  suffocating and unbearable to the point of getting almost sick from its emanations. (You can read the whole experience in my post of 8/10/13, "The Hour before the Gods Awake".


The fact remains that it is a very dangerous practice which will bring them many problems and ultimately represent a serious obstacle in their yoga.

PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA, II






Integral yoga cannot be a mere mental operation, nor any other yoga can.
You need a passion for life.
If you don´t have such passion for life, you should rather close your books and try to heal yourself, because there is some blockage somewhere that impeach you to feel and live such passion for life.

You can´t create such passion for life by a mental operation, you are entering a world of deep sincerity with yourself, which is the only base on which you can build a real and everlasting transformation, without sincerity you can´t build anything at all.

People seem to forget, or have not perception at all, that a poet -as Sri Aurobindo was-
is a person with a deep passion for life, a deep concern for life, and ultimately, a deep love for the Creator that give us a chance to participate in such a wonderful experience as to transform ourselves in integrators of His Will.

It is this deep love and concern for life which is the engine of any true transformation, whatever else is a lie and a postponement of your transformative work.

PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA,I

I write for the future.
My present traveling companions are not ready to accept that I may have reached farther than them. Of course, I´m generalizing, there are exceptions, and I know perfectly well for inner experience that there is anyway a vanguard of people that have been called and merrily agreed to be part of a front wave of Gladness and Transformation which is now tiding on earth.

It is the future itself, because the future transformation and people are already here, they are nesting the next step of the human march.

As for myself, I´ve observed that not all at ready to admit to themselves that I had and have a personal relation with Sri Aurobindo.

If they were to admit it, they would implicitly admit their own din.

That is why I´m writing for the future people, they will be more ready to perceive how close they are to the experiences that have opened in front of me.

Sri Aurobindo has to became your inner self. It is not question of being his follower, one has to integrate His Consciousness to his own.

Take the example of the Christ: some were and are his followers but others -as they say-
were building the christic presence in their heart.
It is the same thing with Sri Aurobindo. We are not called to be his followers, but his realizers, the realizers of that same consciousness.
We should lose the habit to consider him a person, and start to consider him a Consciousness. A level of integrating and integrative consciousness.
The habit to consider him a person has the tendency of creating a cult, in this case a real intellectual sect of people which would consider that person (their Master) higher then, or better then,
and consider themselves part of a privileged group which happened to discover that extraordinary person. But I have met integrative people which are very close to that consciousness even without ear before the name of Sri Aurobindo.
In fact, it is not question of names, it´s question of consciousness.  
As I said, we are not called to create a cult, but to be ourselves realizers, and in integral yoga the realization is an integral and integrating realization.

As soon as you are taking or creating distance among you and others, or among Masters, you are already out of the path of an integrative yoga, which is your aim after all.

When I first started to have experiences with him (with that consciousness), I was not his follower nor I dared to think I was practicing integral yoga, but I had developed an integrative vision on my own, it was really impossible for me to put one Master behind another one, they all had a similar space and reverence within my heart.
A deep reverence for each of them I mean.
They all  were for me messengers from the Divine, and from each of them I could learn a lesson.

It is possible that the integrative vision I had built was one of the reasons why that consciousness and being came to me.
As you know, he provided me with a central vision (the Vision of Savitri to transmit to you), but that "he-consciousness" started to built within me bridges of consciousness, relating parts of my being previously des-connected.
That is the esoteric work that the Sri Aurobindo-Consciosness made into myself, much as the Christ rising in the heart of the christian.

And that is the possibility which opens in front of your eyes as soon as you enlarge wide enough your integrative vision, you find the Sri Aurobindo Consciousness within yourself as previously others discovered the christic consciousness within their heart.
