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.

Mother and Dharma Sangha: reflections

As a Master that She was, Mother was accurate in the choice of her words, below we can read a sentence from her 2nd Vision which I wish to bring to your attention:

..."what a man at the height of his strength would find hard to achieve if he were alone, a child can accomplish almost without difficulty if he is sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

To refresh you memory, Mother is talking of a Vision she had, she is describing a boy, almost a child venturing himself alone into the wilderness under the moon light fearlessly. It must be somewhere in Asia around the Himalaya, so it must be jungle and tigers and wild beasts.

Surely Mother is seeing a boy determined to meditate in the jungle, and is saying that "what a man would find hard" (in the jungle, alone, no food, no shelter) "a child can accomplish" when: sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

Here rise a question: "who", are those "one with him"?
I think we would think about his parents and in general someone that knows him and accompany him with his thoughts and with his love.
But I think it do not answer the point of the Power.
Here is not speaking of a parental love but a love and power, none refers in such terms about the love of their parents.
So, who is sustaining him, is someone, more then one, which has not only love but power too.
Were we to suppose the boy has a human master somewhere, the sentence would read something like: ..the power and love of whom is one with him , but here it is clear Mother refers to more then one, all of them with power and love.

You know I´ve been proposing the possibility that Dharma Sangha could be the person in the vision of Mother, and if there is something which is really appealing and original in his teaching is the fact of the Sangha where that teaching has origin: a congregation of beings, as D.S. could quite substitute the I with US, because as he says, (and the very name "sangha" means that) his consciousness is kind of a "congregation of beings", the Holy Sangha of the Dharma.

There is very little possibility that all related to D.S. life is an achievement of late,
I mean, such a person surely has a long history of incarnations on earth and meditation, but this he said himself.
Awfully translated, somewhere we can read he says while meditating in the jungle about 2000 years ago he was killed by someone, realizing he had died only 75 days later. ( At about that same date another Great Master was killed in Palestine ).
So whomever is D.S., is not certainly current issue.
And such people, Great Masters which came on earth to do a Great Work, are never alone. Unseen around them there are invisible  benign presences which assist them.
Which results too from his very words.
So, one last question: was Mother seeing the Holy Sangha around Dharma Sangha?
Were those the powerful and loving beings which sustained the boy in the Vision of Mother?
You put the answer.

(I´m somehow critical on the present translation of his teaching, but here you can read some more information on his life and teaching http://www.etapasvi.com/en/ . It is a very complete page, though they do not represent the "official" organization around D.S.).
In conclusion, a renewed lecture of the text of Mother´ Visions has brought me to consider, aside of the fact that D.S. and "the boy" of her vision have great possibilities of being one same person, that we are possibly living in a very transcendental moment, as Mother linked the presence of that boy on earth with very momentous events.

add. to "The Six Visions"

I feel the inner urgency to explain you what my subtle perception suggests me:

It could only be Mother who could have the vision of the next great human connection to their Work.
 A being in connection with a farther revelation (through self achievement) of the supermental possibilities.
She had the revelatory vision of that a hundred years ago, and only a decade impeached  they both  coincide on earth. When she left, his birth was yet dawning on subtler levels of existence, where she could accede presenting us the transcendental meaning his birth would have on earth.

As soon as one reaches the original message of Dharma Sangha, one can´t avoid consider that his statements are but the continuity of the message of Sri Aurobindo and Mother.
On my opinion, the circumstance that he is now spreading his message mainly into a Buddhist context is partly to affect and revitalize it, connecting it to a more dynamic concept of the supermental reality (Maitreya Consciousness=Supermental Consciousness).
We should notice he said of himself:- I´m not a Buddhist.

As Sri Aurobindo, Dharma Sangha is not speaking of a Paradise elsewhere, but right here on earth. This is the substantial change he is bringing to Buddhism. Much as Sri Aurobindo represented a substantial change of the traditional yoga.
And they both meet at the same point.
What is of extraordinary importance here is that the visions of Mother convey as well the idea of an impelling Hour of God concomitant with that young siddhi of her visions to which Dharma Sangha so strangely resembles, a divinely predestined time, which allusions point exactly to here and now.

The overall presence of the Spirit upon the happenings of Mother´s images, her vision of the huge cross, (Christic Consciousness=Maitreya Consciousness) told Mother of a divinely sentenced time and Being, which inspired her the very words:
:Oh yes! I almost work with ardour and energy to hasten the hour....
in relation with the Being whose coming she was announcing.

Anyone who knows about the high attainments of Mother can ask himself how is it that from her spiritual heights she would feel so moved by the figure of the Being she saw.
The idea of the "Times of God" is not mine but is the logical consequence for anybody wishing to personally investigate and interested in the information contained in the "Six Visions".
Even so, I would not say that all related to the Supermental has always to do with great figures, I´m convinced at this very moment  there is quite a number of less known or even totally unknown persons, in which the Supermental is already pushing its way through.
The fact we may not be able to discern the working of the supermental in the actuality do not take necessarily to the conclusion that it is not working at all, and I´m afraid here it would only be a lack of perception on our side.

We should be realistic and consider that even if Dharma Sangha do not expressly or directly talk of the Supermind, yet, what this young man has achieved -thinking that he started his meditation alone in a jungle at about 13th- is at least worth of respect.

I myself am not given to devotional effusions towards human beings, because the commonsense suggests me that the Self I salute in the Guru is the Self in everyone.
But beside of the due respect, even if his teaching do not make any congruent sense to the student of integral yoga, yet it would be at least premature to state that D.S. has not relation at all with the Supermental because indeed, which other sense or direction should we give to it?
After all, the Supermental is not obliged to answer to our expectations about it.

Many times a doctrinal scheme may represent an obstacle on the way of a direct perception, and this is true on both side:
 while the Buddhist-minded people whom knows about D.S. has a tendency to ignore the aim of integral yoga and the message of Mother and Sri Aurobindo,
 the student and practitioner of integral yoga has the opposite tendency, and ignore or undervalue Dharma Sangha.

After all, even the message of Ramalinga Swami was not identical to Sri Aurobindo´s, and today a growing  number of people is convinced his Grace-Light was not different from the Supermental Light.
Whomever and whatever opens in the actuality, they open on the supermental possibilities and not any other, so the link subsists anyway.
 For Mother, the Person in her vision was of transcendental importance, as much as the Time of his appearance, there is no reason why for us  should be less important.
