Comments on “Time for integration?”

From what I have read, there is a logical consistency in Divakar’s proposal, i.e., having coexisting levels of mindful energy interpenetrating freely in various degrees; each level is functioning differently and each has, I guess, its own individuality. In other words, I find three intermediate stages of development weaving together the many-colored strands of Auroville; each, under different conditions, serves as a platform for the two others and gives new tone to the functioning of the ensemble.

While musing at portraying the entire community stuff and efforts along these lines, I added a time factor to look at the potential effects of the suggested structure. Considering that freedom also refers to a trial-and-error experimentation toward creative advance, have we then compartmentalised our creative evolution and our freedom to act and react? Are we not putting a plurality of individuals interacting upon each other in a conceptual-box channeling the stream of reality into a hierarchy of levels? Just wondering.

Besides I believe that when, owing to a defective organisation, some undreamed internal conflicts occur, it creates a crack of vulnerability at the core of the interacting field of the whole. Obviously, something ought to be done … ensemble. Yet there is no ready-made solution for a problem of organisation while resurrecting the past leads nowhere. Hence, we must try to discover what is beyond. But how?

Realistically, the trigger lies dormant within ourselves. For, when I look at the cosmic evolution of life, I simply cannot deny that the realm of nature always produces within very life-giving form a formative Idea: an entelechy that guides the gradual development of every particular process over time; some kind of psychic potencies that make possible the sudden appearance of adaptive characters in life’s dynamic patterns and moments.

Fine, but how to unleash these latent forces? I think that they require something to call them forth: us. And that is me and you and numerous others: a potent number of forward-looking people awakening to the meaning of our environment and concentrating their full heartfelt attention on a devout call to the ‘unmoved mover’; individuals, eager for Light, ready to respond in kind and to adapt to a different way of being under newly arising conditions.

Man is a bridge, not a goal, and I believe that my role, my scaffolding truth, is to conscientiously cross the bridge that will take me to a more limpid space as a playground. As for the shape and expression that such concrete flow will take in our cumulative history, let’s wait for the momentousness of a thrilling surprise.

The way out is within.
