This us a power point presentation organized by D Harish Kumar, student of Thea, highlighting the concept of Time in Sri Aurobindo’s Supramental Yoga.  For slides and notes of the presentation:

We can pick up…

If we are going to reverse the process and say ‘heaven is to be found here on Earth’; if we do not want to leave the earth and abandon her, there has to be a breakthrough. The process of death takes on another dimension.

We have the map of evolution, the Zodiac: Scorpio is that 8^th sign the sign of Death and as we said earlier, it has a lower and higher aspect. It is the only sign of the zodiac that has two symbols: the lower the Scorpio, the higher aspect – the symbol of the Eagle.

Scorpio’s lower aspect is what they call, the ‘sting of death’; i.e., the person dies, he remembers nothing, he incarnates, he remembers nothing, maybe a few fragments… You could say the flow of Time stops for the individual. 

Science is concerned about aging, about living longer, is there another way?

We have reason to believe there is a new imprint in evolution, it seems like now it needs to filter down. 

 Scorpio’s higher sign, the Eagle, soars.  And there are four more signs after Scorpio.  So we believe there will be a shift that allows you to overcome inertia of death…

What is required to realistically begin this great shift that is not going to carry you away, out of Earth, but takes you deeper, that allows you to overcome this inertia? If we are going to ‘graduate’ to a higher level of the species, the play of circumstances is the key issue here…

We are like pawns, we are moved about like puppets on a string. 99.9% of people are puppets, that is unconscious of who they are, what is their destiny…

How to become conscious instruments, consciously aware of the role you are to play during your lifetime? My book, The New Way, 3^rd volume, deals with this…

… We are pinned down by ‘atavism’, that is, the purpose of taking life on Earth is basically to procreate. 

How are we going to make it to a higher species – to have a new purpose, participate in the next step in evolution?

Look around, the signs are everywhere that we are ready for this:  everything is moving away from the nuclear family and procreation…

When I talk about ‘overcoming death’, it is not that you will not die. It is this: when you die you maintain continuity … you keep going, evolve to a higher level. You do not lose contact with time…

These protests, the marchers are all part of one cycle happening on Earth.

There is something unique on this Planet which I do not think can happen any place else: the human instrument has this marvelous equipment (the soul) that can receive directly ‘from the other side’, that is, there is a subtle plane from where influences do come.

So people are risking their lives, no one is telling them to protest, what are they motivated by? Something is stirring them from within…

And that is the key to the new order, to the New Way: nothing is imposed from outside, one must be stirred to change totally from within.

At the base is a deep desire for change. Transformation of our Earth takes place as each person feels that need for change, each interconnected to the other.

The symbol for the sun, the circle and the point in the centre is apt:  We are the periphery of the circle; the point in the centre is THE ONE; THEE ONE…

What is the purpose of the One? What is the Divine Purpose of our earth?

Don Juan (in the Carlos Castaneda series) and his group wanted to leave this Earth in a group, and not die – basically a conscious transition – they wanted to ‘cheat death’. This yoga, The New Way, starts where that work leaves off.  But there are some important things that are different that we need to consider. That was an individual path; we are now talking about what is the destiny of the entire Earth…

We have a Map of Evolution, it is the Zodiac; … and Scorpio is the 8^th sign, the sign of Death.  Scorpio has a higher and lower level; its higher level is the Eagle… and there are four more signs of the zodiac after Scorpio… what is to happen after Scorpio, what is the real destiny of the Earth?

Yes, at this point in time, evolution is ruled by death;  this earth is considered only a ‘springboard’ to leave for a life here after…  you work out your karma and you die,  hopefully never to come back…but is there another possibility?

Yes, but for this, our entire Earth must become transformed. That is what the New Way is about…

There is what I call ‘an Aquarian Wave’ sweeping across the Earth, The old way is breaking down and naturally people are disturbed. But there is no need; you can imagine it as a new seed, a new plant that is pushing up through the Earth and the ground around it begins to crumble abit. The old order, the old spirituality you could call it, is giving way to a more mature stage – a new spiritual work needs to be done. Sri Aurobindo’s coming brought the Supramental Truth consciousness…
