4. SUPERMAN, SPACE & TIME

Dear Friends,

We have reached a stage in our postings, where we have to take a hard look at the "Superman" who is slated to succeed the human being as the leader of evolution on planet Earth. Since we have concluded that Superman will evolve out of the current human race, we have to see what components in the humanity qualifies to be fine-tuned and carried forward to the Superman. As per the prototype of the Superman, as revealed by "The Mother" of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, these components are only "the Brain & the Nervous System". We can understand this better by discussing the process of this collaborative evolution. (Please refer to my posting No.1 {para 12} below).

However, the human has to come to terms with a new entity within him which has not yet surfaced in the ordinary course of his evolution. This entity is loosely called the 'soul', but for our practical purpose we call it the "Psychic Being" (being the source all consciousness & psychology of man). Man is a 'mental being' and that is what distinguishes him from the animal. So also, Superman will be a 'Psychic Being' and that is what will distinguish him from the human being. Hence, the emergence of the Psychic Being in the human system is the first condition for this upward evolution from man to superman.

What is this "Psychic Being"?. This is the question we have to tackle now. In this world, there are certain entities who can never be destroyed; neither do they 'die' nor are they 'created'! So, where are they existing? The answer lies in another question > "Have you ever experienced the 'infinity of Space' & 'the eternity of Time'?" . The human mind, the buddhi, can intellectually accept the concept of infinity&eternity. But it has no real time experience of it. Right? Well, the Psychic Beings are existing in that dimension, but right inside us, the humans. If you want to experience infinity&eternity, then you should bring forward the Psychic Being which should become your 'central being' in place of the 'mental ego'. The mental being is only a coordinator of your activities in mental nature. But the Psychic Being is the Boss, it possesses the 'whole of you'.

In fact, you are the Psychic Being. You have to evolve from the status of a mental being to the status of a psychic being! ( If you can make any animal understand, tell them "You are a mental being and you can evolve from the status of a sense being to the status of a mental being(buddhi). The buddhi is involved in your 'manas'. Bring it forward and manifest it and become a human being")

We know that space is infinite but we are unable to experience it. Is there an 'infinite space' and a 'finite space'? Is there an 'eternal time' and a 'temporal time'? The answer is YES. In the experience of the temporal time, there is a past, present & future. But in the experience of the eternal time, there is only the 'moment'. The buddhi can tackle the experience of the temporal time, while the 'intuition' can tackle the experience of the eternal time. We may say that 'truths' are lined up in eternity and 'intuitions' bring it forward into temporal time and manifest it through 'buddhi'. Using computer terminology, we may say that all 'truths' are stored in a hard disk in eternity in a 'Server'. Intuition is the 'system software' which access these truths and bring it into the 'user software buddhi'. The human brain is the hardware of the front end terminal in material time where it gets converted to real time usage. This is what has happened in Einstein's brain when he declared his famous formula! These types of 'truth manifestations', we usually call 'genius'. But genius can be a full time faculty. It will be so for the superman.

Shall we peep into this hard disk in eternity? Let me present the salient features:-

1. 'Intuition' is a system software with network capabilities;

2. Psychic Beings are the users of the front end hard ware, the brain;

3. Buddhi is the front end 'user cum system software'

4. Intuition connects all the psychic beings who exist in material time(our experience of time)

5. Each psychic being has a 'uniqueness' which distinguishes it from other psychic beings (its

IP address)

6. Intuition delivers truths 'packet by packet' to the buddhi according to its real time

requirements( the requirement of the 'moment') to each IP address

7. Thus, the Psychic Beings will deal with their environment and other psychic beings with

'harmony' because every truth is coming from the same source and there is no clash of

interest or competition.

8. The hard disk contains 'truths', well designed and fool proof, to guide the psychic beings to

manifest their uniqueness in our T&S.

9. The truths are existing as 'Real Ideas' in the HD.

10. The Psychic Beings will 'materialise' it in our space.

11. Humans materialise mental ideas and Supermen materialise intuitions.

12. We can expect that, in all fields of their activity, the Supermen can beat the humans.

13. And, thus they will be the leaders of evolution in our planet!

14. Yes, it is an evolving 'knowledge world'.

Do you want to take this 'quantum jump'?

3. TIME, SPACE & EVOLUTION

Dear Friends,

Thank you for all your mails & comments.

How is time, space & evolution interconnected? This is something we should understand in the correct spiritual sense. Let us recall what we have already stated in earlier postings:-

1. It is "the emergence of consciousness" that is the significance of evolution on Earth.

2. The highest entity evolved is the 'human' & and the highest consciousness evolved & manifest in him is 'Buddhi'(Intelligence & Reason) .

3. Now the time has come to take the next step in evolution, to go beyond 'buddhi'.

4. Will Nature do this on her own or the human can collaborate?

5. Since the human has become self-conscious and aware of his environment, he can collaborate in his own evolution and accelerate it to a considerable extent. {This was not possible for the animal} At the stage of humanity, evolution becomes self-conscious.

6. The new type which will come into existence as a result of evolution beyond humanity is called 'Superman' by Sri Aurobindo.

7. The new consciousness which will evolve and manifest in the superman is a range of consciousness beyond 'buddhi'.

Having said that, let us proceed to consider finer points on 'Time, Space & Evolution'.

In a way, we can say that:-

Time = Consciousness

Space = Substance / Matter(where matter & energy are interchangeable)

Evolution = The process of unfoldment & manifestation of involved contents

Based on the above concepts, if we study the process of evolution from big-bang up to now, we may draw the following conclusions as per the logic of our buddhi:-

a. In Nature, the 'Atom' was formed to be the basic unit of matter/substance

b. Whatever entities which has further evolved in nature, has the 'atom' as its basic unit.

c. Hence, we can conclude that all that has evolved was already involved in the atom. Only whatever was involved can evolve. That is why in nature there is evolution and not miracles.

d. So, we have to restate that the atom contains energy & consciousness apart from the sub-atomic particles in its nucleus.

e. To place this sequentially, if we can observe deeper into matter, we may encounter:-

1. particles

2. Material Energy Field

3. Life Energy Field

4. Sense Consciousness (manas)

5. Buddhi (Intelligence&Reason)

Or, we may say, Buddhi is involved in Manas & Manas is involved in Life Energy which is involved in Material Energy where the particles are residing.

f. In the process of evolution, in the field of material energy and matter, 'life' evolves out of forms made of atomic matter, the inanimate becomes animate. The 'form' of the entity evolves from minerals & rocks to plant to facilitate the flow of 'life'.

g. As we have already stated, the next turn is for 'manas' to evolve out of 'living matter'. And, there is a corresponding change in the outer from to facilitate the manifestation of manas. We see the form of the animal coming into existence.

h. And then the 'buddhi' evolves out of 'manas' and the form of the 'human' come into existence.

i. Now, it is the turn of 'the range of consciousness' beyond buddhi to evolve out of buddhi.

There is range consciousness involved in buddhi waiting to evolve and manifest. The form which will evolve and manifest this range is called "Superman" and the consciousness that will emerge is called "Intuition".

At the stage of the human evolution, where 'buddhi' is his main faculty, there is a defenitive scale of awareness which has become operational. This awareness makes him aware of two components of his existence > Space & Time. He is aware that space is an infinite material extension and in this space, the unfolding events are measured in terms of 'time'. The buddhi can pinpoint an entity or an event with this two coordinates of T&S.

In my next posting we will consider the T&S aspects for the Superman
