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.)

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

 Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri.  "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...

Seeds of synthesis

Some of the seeds of synthesis I have discovered (experiments are ongoing to give fair consideration and enlighten ourselves) so far between sciences, religions, philosophies are listed below for the lovers of truth and wisdom - Synthesis of mathematics - Category theory (Grothendieck, Saunders Maclane) Synthesis of religions - Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky) (A mathematical expression of the law of Karma or cause and effect is in my thesis) Synthesis of philosophies and Human Knowledge itself - A treatise on seven rays (24 Books of Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey) Synthesis of pyschology - Psychosynthesis (Roberto Assagioli), Humanistic astrology and soul-centred psychology (Dane Rudhyar, Alan Oken) Synthesis of ancient systems of Yoga - Synthesis of Yoga (Sri Aurobindo),Auroville (Experiment of synthesising city), Agni Yoga (Nicholas and Helena Roerich) Synthesis of agriculture - Permaculture (Masanobu Fukuoka) Synthesis of signal representation - Functorial Signal Representation Synthesi...

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...
