Why SCIY? (pronounced &quot;sci-y&quot;)
by rjon on August 11, 2006 07:50AM (PDT)
Our Purpose

Vision: To consider emerging planetary science and culture in the light of Sri Aurobindo&#39;s integral yoga through mutually respectful dialogue, creative imagination, critical inquiry and non-dual epistemologies.

Mission: To discern trends within contemporary arts, sciences and technologies which appear to facilitate (or not) the co-evolution of integral spirituality, scientific research and emerging planetary culture.

Goals: To foster intra- and inter-community dialog among those who actively aspire to create a terrestrial environment which will advance an integral evolution of consciousness and thus a world of increasing truth, beauty and sustainable human unity.

Who we are: The founders and core group of SCIY are engaged in the study and practice of Sri Aurobindo&#39;s &quot;Integral Yoga,&quot; a non-sectarian spiritual path toward realizing &quot;a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.&quot;* - Our aspiration for SCIY is to foster inclusive scientific, cultural and spiritual research that serves this realization. We invite those who share this aspiration to join us.

* Quote from Sri Aurobindo&#39;s spiritual colleague, Mirra Alfassa (also known as &quot;the Mother&quot;), in her Charter for the Auroville universal township project being built near Pondicherry, India.
