The egocentric mental-rational man is not the last stage in the evolution of consciousness. According to Sri Aurobindo, Medhananda, Jean Gebser (and others) a new dimension of consciousness wants to be realized in man today: We are in a transitional epoch in which we have the chance and also the task to go beyond dualistic “either/or” thinking. What our mind perceives as opposites – e.g. science/spirituality, matter/vibration – a higher level of consciousness within us recognizes as complementary aspects of the one reality, or – such as with the apparent opposition of unconscious/conscious, irrational/rational – as different degrees, intensities, dimensions of the same reality.
Medhananda’s illuminating thoughts are based on his own spiritual experiences as well as on the statements and realizations of his teacher Sri Aurobindo and the discoveries of quantum physicists. He shows us connections and links everywhere and invites us to perceive and experience the transparent, integral wholeness of the world – the spiritual-divine origin – in us and in everything.
