At
the time of the separation of consciousness from the physical body at the time
of death, there is the soul and its formed mental and vital sheaths which now
become free of the physical impediment. Sri Aurobindo traces the potential journey
of the soul through a series of planes or worlds that successively become more
subtle and refined as they move further away from the physical and into the
vital and mental ranges that have been developed as capacities during the
physical embodiment.
Powerful Words: Bennett « Larval Subjects 12 Oct 2011 – This
week my students and I are beginning Jane Bennett's Enchantment of Modern Life. Despite my occasional
grumbling about Bennett, ... Bennett’s worry is that the project of
disenchantment generates a sense of meaninglessness (so nicely described by
Nietzsche in The Gay Science when he discusses the death of God) where it
becomes impossible to be ethically and politically committed to anything. 11:58 AM

Technology
and Evolution - By Daniel Goldsmith, Professor of Philosophy, Dawson College , Quebec
We
will see that technology is an excellent way to highlight the connections
between the western humanistic tradition and Sri Aurobindo, and ask how
technology is related to Integral Yoga and the future evolution of mankind.
Along the way, we will use Martin Heidegger's thoughts on the subject to see
just how difficult it is to approach this topic. We will explore Heidegger’s
approach of “phenomenologically reducing” this issue, and consider its
parallels in the Indian philosophical tradition.
An Introduction to Metaphysics: Heidegger and
Sri Aurobindo, by Rod Hemsell
Both philosophers approached the understanding
of truth and being from in-depth studies of their respective classical
traditions: Greek and Sanskrit. And both arrived at remarkably similar concepts
of the soul and of the importance of gnosis, as opposed to logical thought. 8:31 PM

One
of the results of this pattern, which can be seen in Auroville, is a kind of
mass paranoid psychosis. Instead of addressing the behaviors of people in a
direct and rational way, people are overcome by their fears and their righteous
delusions, etc. I prefer using Occam's razor, if possible. The law of parsimony
was effectively used to combat religious obscurantism during his time as well.

Standing
on the head of reason is Adwaita. I don't think the law of parsimony gets that
far at all and probably has little to do with spirituality; something like the
idea can probably be found in Nyaya and Mimamsa which said about everything
possible concerning causality. I am mentioning the idea in this context because
it is very tempting to ascribe "spiiritual" and "occult"
causes for things that are actually quite concrete and present, such as class
discrimination. There, Marxist criticism and psychology is probably the
best authority. Back to

Visser on Wilber’s Views of Evolution from integral praxis by Eric From Integral World: The
'Spirit of Evolution' Reconsidered: Relating Ken Wilber's view of spiritual

Openness
to criticism and public debate are the hallmarks of science and philosophy. I
would therefore like to give the last word to John Stuart Mill (1863: 17), form
his treatise on liberty:
“In
the case of any person whose judgment is really deserving of confidence, how
has it become so? Because he has kept his mind open to criticism of his
opinions and conduct. Because it has been his practice to listen to all that
could be said against him; to profit by as much of it as was just, and expound
to himself, and upon occasion to others, the fallacy of what was fallacious.” 4:11 PM

A Rishi’s Integral Vision of Society

Sri
Aurobindo’s ideal is vivid and daring, clear and far-reaching in seeing, that
the possibilities of the mental being are not limited and that the truncated
and analytical Cartesian I think, therefore I am is not applicable in the
domain of the spirit when the spiritual experience tells us that thoughts
themselves come from outside. Even in his early writings Sri Aurobindo held for
us the emerging spiritualised society as an unenviable goal. In the very second
volume of his philosophical monthly Arya, dated 15 August 1915, he
wrote the following:
“Unity
for the human race by an inner oneness and not only by an external association
of interests; the resurgence of man out of the merely animal and economic life
or the merely intellectual and aesthetic into the glories of the spiritual
existence; the pouring of the power of the spirit into the physical mould and
mental instrument so that man may develop his manhood into that true
super-manhood which shall exceed our present state as much as this exceeds the
animal state from which science tells us that we have issued. These three are
one; for man’s unity and man’s self-transcendence can come only by living in
the Spirit.”
What
he had put forward as an ideal at that early date, it is that which he set for
himself to accomplish in his thirty-five years of long and untiring spiritual
sadhana, his yogic labour, a God’s labour indeed, a labour undertaken for the
sake of the Divine in Man.
