Transformation und Atem

Mother: “In nature there is an ascending evolution from stones to plants, from plants to animals, from animals to people. Since the human being of today is the last rung at the summit of ascending evolution, they consider themselves to be last stage of this process of improvement, and they believe that there can be nothing on Earth better than them. In this they are mistaken. In his physical nature he is still almost an animal, a thinking and speaking animal indeed but in his physical habits nevertheless an animal. Without a doubt Nature cannot be satisfied with such an incomplete result; it strives to bring forth a being  which would be in relation to people what people are to animals, a being which will remain in outer form like a human but whose consciousness is, however, far above the Mind and its slavery to ignorance.

Sri Aurobindo came to the Earth in order to herald this truth to humanity. He taught them that people were a transitional creation which lives in a Mind consciousness but has the chance to achieve a new consciousness – the consciousness of truth; and that they possess the ability to live a life which is totally harmonic, good and fine and completely conscious.

During his life on earth, Sri Aurobindo dedicated himself exclusively to the task of setting up that consciousness, which he termed ”supramental“ and to help those who had gathered around him to self-fulfillment.”

The consciousness which enables the next stage of evolution was dubbed by him the “supramental consciousness” and he stressed that it was not the spiritual consciousness to which humanity has

up till now begun contact: “If spiritual and supramental were the same, as readers assume according to what you said, then in that case all the sages and their admirers, Yogis and Saddhus in the course of time would have become supramental beings, and everything which I have written about the supramental would be highly irrelevant, useless and without purpose. Everyone who has spiritual experiences would then become a supramental being, and likewise every other ashram in India.”

While the entire established world of orthodox science believes that first of all came material, and that consciousness (in people in its most advanced i.e. most differentiated expression) was a result of material (chemical-physical) processes, that is the “Primacy of Material” is the case. In contrast for the most part higher mind/spiritually orientated people  including Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, have a conception of the world with the principle of the “primacy of consciousness”. From that viewpoint results the important realization that the body is not the producer of spirit and soul as materialists believe but rather its instrument.

Mother stated about the “primacy of consciousness” on the 19th of November 1969:
“In the Supreme it's a unity that contains all possibilities perfectly united, without differentiation. The creation is, so to speak, the projection of all that makes up that unity, by dividing all opposites, that is to say, by separating (that's what was caught by those who said that creation is separation), by separating: for instance, day and night, white and black, evil and good, and so on (all that is our explanation).
