The Night of the Vision of Savitri

The night I met Sri Aurobindo and knew of His Vision the shift to conscious sleep had been specially smooth and easy: as soon as the body slept I was back in that peculiar condition in which one is completely awake but without the physical.
I recognized around me the now familiar blue of the mental world, a world without forms but hues of blue and sparks of white light, but this time at my side yes there is a form: alone in that deep blue a beautiful tower in stone like those of the Middle Age, and while looking at it I start levitating towards the summit.

In a few moments I am in a circular room with  an arched window on that mental sky and by the window an Indian Master  and a little group of disciples. Were not for their robes it could recall me Jesus Christ surrounded by his disciples for the evident divinity of the Master and the great reverence of the men.

The Master is bare feet and wears a doti, has long black hair and a body "magnified" that looks extremely healthy and strong and has the natural appeal of the divine manifesting in a human form, the disciples look at him with great deference,  some four or five young men, all occidentals.
They all seam entertained in a conversation which I interrupt with my sudden irruption, all turn smiling to me but the Master, which stares impassive into my eyes.

He is Sri Aurobindo,  in a form never captured by a photograph. 

My subtle perception is increased and without uttering a word I understand they were waiting for me, called or admitted there, and the reason concerns a plan which the Master is laying down to the attention of the presents in the room. I feel welcomed and live in full plenitude the privilege to be there. 

In that moment the Master leaves the group  approaching me, while he does I can better appreciate the divine beauty of his "body of glory" which was not so evident at the beginning.

When he stand close to me he has a glorious divine shape emitting such an intense radiation which has a deep impact on  the very atoms of my body, they seem as frightened by this unknown, tremendous source of energy and are trying to subtract themselves from its powerful influence.

I clearly feel that had the Master approached me a bit more my body would be disrupted and evaporate in a cloud of atoms.

I felt for some moment all the weight of that painful physical sensation, then the Master smiled and all the atomic structure is instantaneously re-polarized, now my atoms seem wishing to fuse with that energy and stirr their orbit as to get as close as possible.

His body, towering over me is somehow bigger then normal, and I can appreciate every single detail of his face and his black hair over the neck graciously entwined  with grey and white hair.

His eyes absolutely divine, his face expressing all the power of the transmutations he underwent, I can guess in his features the divinized man which has won many battles and can lead whole generations, I felt one could follow him in any enterprise with blind faith in a safe outcome and a victory. 

When he spoke I distinctly heard his voice as coming from both outside and from within,  he was asking  me about facts in my life which supposed he was fully aware of my personal life.

I felt an intimate deep connection while we silently stared each other in the eyes, then he spoke again saying:- I wish you do something for me.

My reaction is so instantaneous that he smiles under his moustaches: he didn´t finished his words that I have already innerly joined both hand in a silent acceptance.

He could have asked me anything, even my life if necessary and have me ready to lay it down for him, I only wanted to fulfil his wish.

"I had a dream", he continued, and while he said this I started to see the images of his dream. A powerful vision which narrated of the evolution of the consciousness on earth till a distant future, when the planet is fully populated only by Initiates.

A peculiar activity of the subtle body


It was more and more frequent to awaken in the subtle body while the physical was sleeping, in that peculiar condition which is called  conscious sleep.

As a new experience that it was, I would observe whatever detail of these experiences, and that night I got interested in the activity of the subconscious.

I was observing a dream  projected on a screen made of mental substance, much alike  a movie on a large screen. I was just a witness, as a spectator at a cinema show.
I was perfectly conscious it was not myself to produce the dream, but an almost unobservable elusive part of me, my subconscious, which I felt and saw as a strange
animal kind of mind attached at the bottom of my conscious part.

 The dream had affinity with another one which I dreamt years before, so I decided to search for the previous dream, which in that very moment I vaguely remembered.

 While the dream was going on and a part of me was following it, another part split to search in a  kind of dream´s archives, where all the previous dreams were orderly contained much as books on shelves.
I was not surprised, I felt such activity was relative to the actual possibilities of a subtle body, in its  own environment it had quite some peculiarity, but it intrigued me mostly because I had never done it before and notwithstanding, I knew perfectly what to do and how to do it.

I started monitoring previous dreams on a smaller screen which appeared instantaneously at my side, I did it several times, about six or seven, searching and watching  the beginning of the dream or running it at higher speed,  and during all the time, I never lost contact with the "main" dream, it continued unfolding itself in front of my mind´s eyes.

Then, I finally found what I was searching for, I put it on the smaller screen so to compare them. At that moment, I was witnessing at two dreams at the same time: one of them just being produced by the subconscious, and the other, just the result of a volitive action on my side.  In fact I realized both dreams shared a similar "atmosphere": there was not any personage or places, it was just changing shades of colours charged with a peculiar note of poetry, as witnessing a beautifully moved sunset in the sky, and that atmosphere was pretty similar to both the dreams.

I followed them at the same time till the end, then I lost interest  and I moved away within a blue mental atmosphere, a blue kind of space where I felt very comfortable.  As a mental being, I felt it as my own environment, of which daily consciousness was unaware of.  I felt the necessity to build bridges of consciousness through the whole of the time,  that would necessarily meet with changes in sleep, which I was already noticing, I felt the subconscious had to be somehow  domesticated, colonized, opening it up  to some unknown force, and unknown process.

The Prophecy and the blue sky after death

A blue mental world and beings to which Mother often referred, and "the blue sky after death" of Dharma Sangha have more then one reason to be similar.
Let´s briefly consider that D.S. didn´t need to die to talk of a blue sky after death, he is talking of something perceivable while in life.

What is sure, it is that within the context of prophecy and symbolic language, a distinction is made -and has to be kept in account- between "inner skies" and "outer skies".
Many prophecies, but I wish to consider here only one, the Apocalypse of John, are referring to events which a great deal happen in inner spaces and inner sky.

Were we expecting to read in the Revelation of John events to happen only or predominantly in outer sky, we would lose at least half the message.
We cannot reasonably expect to see a Dragon flying in the sky in the days of Revelation, but the Dragon could be a constellation or a symbolic element, a force, a concept, within our inner sky. It could be even...ourselves, or a darker part of each of us.
The fact remains, that inner blue sky is a reality.

Recently, a dear friend of mine which has sometimes premonitory dreams and visions told me of a recent one in which she saw clouds in the sky opening and a white horse appearing while the circle of clouds showed an intense blue sky.
The horse approached earth as flying in the sky (my friend is a fervent christian, so while she was seeing that overwhelming vision her mind remembered the words of the Bible: -And everybody will see Him-.
Then, the white horse while approaching earth and growing bigger plunged in a great lake of crystal clear waters.

She felt it was an objective vision, one which is meant as a general revelation instead of a more personal one,  the appearance of the white horse had a general value.
An objective presence.
The symbolic language of a vision is universal, the Kalki avatar appears in the sky on a white horse as much does it the Buddha Maitreya,  or the Christ of the Revelation.
It is real in the inner sky, unreal in the outer.
Unreal not as a fact, as a symbol.
We cannot transpose symbolic language into outer events, so in reading the Revelation, much is probably outer events, as the references to earthquakes, fire
in the sky and on earth, water rising or humans dying, are too many to refer -always and only- to inner events, but a great deal of it is to happen "within" our inner world and sky.
In fact, there is something which cannot be denied: everyone which reads the Revelation of John may not understand it, but none has a feeling it´s untrue.
Everybody feels it "has to be true" in a way he she cannot understand, but the language itself is over and far exceeding the level of doubts.
It is "true in itself".

We considered the possibility that John  was actually seeing events related with the same light Sri Aurobindo spoke of, the Supermental Light, a reason enough to require a deep transformation of human conditions of living and perceiving reality.

We have been even considering if the boy of the Vision of Mother and the apocalyptic times described in the very vision of Mother could be related events.

We perfectly know  the very first discourse of D.S. after years of silence, where words of warning for this world.

We should not expect to be continually warned, because once the vision has spoken, what remains is the time left to be accomplished whether we know it or not,  because a true vision will always accomplish itself.
