Ashram and Auroville: One of Centres of Synthesis in Cedercrans writings

 The other day in the eastern molecular meeting of Joseph Dewey (Author of Immortal Series and his encounters with John Apostle), I brought up discussion on "Sri Aurobindo and The Mother". I read on the esoteric astrologer website a dialogue between Dr. Michael Robbins (Founder of University of Seven Rays) and Lyn Hebenstreit, where both agree Sri Aurobindo being a high degree initiate. Lyn goes further suggesting the Auroville to be one of the nine planetary “centers of synthesis” that Master R refers to in Lucille Cedercran's teachings. I felt sharing a few of my experiences which concur with Lyn's experiences. The "supramental man of Sri Aurobindo", "Sixth Root race man", "New Age intuitive man of Bailey" and "Man with Wisdom of Synthesis of Cedercarns" to me inwardly resonates to the same point where humanity is evolving ! 


H.P. Blavatsky wrote in the Secret Doctrine that there are seven branches of knowledge mentioned in the Puranas:—S. D., I, 192 comprising of the six schools of Indian philosophy being the six principles.—S. D., I, 299. These six schools are:


1. The school of Logic Proof of right perception. 2. The atomic school System of particulars. Elements. Alchemy and chemistry. 3. The Sankhya school System of numbers. The materialistic school. The theory of the seven states of matter or prakriti. 4. The school of Yoga Union. The rule of daily life. Mysticism. 5. The school of Ceremonial Religion Ritual. Worship of the devas or Gods. 6. The Vedanta school Has to do with non-duality. Deals with the relation of Atman in man to the Logos. 7. The Gnosis, the hidden Knowledge, is the seventh Principle, the seventh being the synthesis of the six. 


In his extensive writings (as far as I am able to grasp) Sri Aurobindo touches upon these ancient Indian knowledge systems mentioned by H.P.B. focussing especially on Sixth and Seventh principles leading to the synthesis of yoga which he terms as Integral Yoga. Mirra Alfassa, The Mother or La Mère, was considered by  Sri Aurobindo to be of equal yogic stature (or in Alice Bailey's words initiate of the same degree) to him. The seventh ray aspect (physical mainfestation) of their work was taken up by her and she established Ashram (centre for synthesis of yoga) and Auroville (experimental city of human unity and synthesis). Having resided in Auroville as a volunteer (making friends who have become old now but were with The Mother) for about a year so far and visiting both Ashram and Auroville once every month, my experience has been in agreement with Lyn. For those who are familiar with Bailey and Cedercrans works will resonate with synthesis aspect of some of The Mother words on Auroville (from The volume 13 amongst 17 volumes of her collected works). A synthesis is firmly taking shape in my consciousness the proof of which I have shared in some tables in earlier posts and will be expanded in time to come.


Central Aim and Principle of Auroville (in her own handwriting image is attached) - 


"Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity." - 8 September 1965



Few of various messages on Auroville alluding to being one "planetary center of synthesis" (in Mother's visions of etheric realm) -


"The true spirit of Auroville is collaboration and must be more and more so. True collaboration paves the way to divinity." -22 October 1972.


"For everyone to agree each one must rise to the summit of his consciousness; it is on the heights that harmony is created."

April 1970.


"Auroville wants to be the first realisation of human unity based on the teaching of Sri Aurobindo, where men of all countries would be at home." - January 1972.


"Jesus is one of the many forms which the Divine has assumed to enter into relationship with the earth. But there are and there will be many others; and the children of Auroville should replace the exclusiveness of one religion by the wide faith of knowledge." - 1972.


Message for UNESCO (The magzine Courier carries the photo and articles of their dream - image attached)


 "Auroville is meant to hasten the advent of the supramental Reality upon earth. The help of all those who find the world is not as it ought to be is welcome. Each one must know if he wants to associate with an old world ready for death, or to work for a new and better world preparing to be born." - 1 February 1972.

One of messages of hers, regarding Sri Aurobindo (I think of him to be one of the messengers of the coming World Teacher/Maitreya/Christ/Krishna-Kalki.)

Third Initiation : Disciple and Mental Body

 We studied initiations until the second in our ealier posts. Today let us look at the third especially from the perspective of a disciple (rather than the ray as well as the external ceremonial aspect conferred during the wesak full moon which we will cover later). The third initiation marks the culmination of complete mastery of the mental (in the same way that the earlier two initiations resulted into the control of physical and astral planes). It is a distinct initiation, which marks a definite transition out of the form consciousness (lower personality of mental, emotional(astral) and physical planes), and the initiate can function at will on the plane of the intuition though soul (ego). Between the second and third initiation work is struggling with and mastering the energies of the mental world. What kind of work ? DK sums that for us (details found in TWM book) as -  "A. Work on the mental plane produces realisation of duality. The disciple seeks to blend and merge the...

Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

 Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):  "Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see: THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come. THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee. THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation. THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfa...

The Twelves of the Inner Ashram of Vicente Beltran Anglada

 The 'Inner Chamber of the Matrimandir Auroville' as seen by 'The Mother' in her inner visions and manifested at Auroville today is illustrated using a real concrete ashram of Vicente Beltran Anglada. The apparent simplicity of many initiates and disciples deprives the overly intellectualised mind of this natural recognition. They are too humble and never boast about their inner association with ashrams. A few, such as 'B', even begged VBA not to mention his details in the writings since he is very well known socially and did not want any indication to identify him from near or far. The composition of a second-ray sub-ashram was disclosed: 1 B. Relatively young; he is an excellent writer North American 2 C. Catholic missionary, mentioned in the South American “Knowledge” magazine from March 1970. Because he died after the festival of Wesak 1971 his square in the Ashrama was automatically occupied by Di...a South American disciple who since For many years she had...
