Gebser along with
Teilhard arrived independently at many of the same conclusions as did
Sri Aurobindo regarding the evolution of consciousness. Gebser
work The Ever Present Origin is IMO one of the masterpieces of the last
century. When he came to know of Sri Aurobindo , he saw in him
the concrete realization of his own highest ideals. Recentlly it
was revealed that he has communication also with the Mother, and here
is what he says about her:
HERE'S AN
INTERESTING NEW TRANSLATION OF A LATER BOOK
BY GEBSER AFTYER
VISITING INDIA IN THE 70S:
"Sri Aurobindo died in 1950,
as did Sri Maharshi, but
his radianting spirit lives on with his
asharam.
Since his death this ashram has been guided and
cared
for by Mrs. Mira Alfassa, "the Mother," who over
many
decades has been the beloved student and co-worker of
Sri
Aurobindo. Her personality differentiates itself
from the
saintliness of Sri Sri Anandamayi-Ma in some
fundamental ways
because in contrast to "Ma" she has
become conscious in
certain manners that at first only
Sri Aurobindo had been capable
of. She was born a
French woman. Today, well into her
eighties, she is
an imposing and extremely forgiving personality
who
has at her disposal perfectly extraordinary abilities.
Her
brightness and clarity, which I myself have had
occasion to
experience in two conversations with her,
in which she extended
her protection to me convinced
me that she was genuinely learned
and trained in a
greater discipline and she had something
unlocalizable
and was visibly living through the realms of soul
and
spirit, that she scarcely lives through the human
body
anymore, but as one radiating from a conjoined
spiritual
power. She furthers the teachings of
Aurobindo to the young, a
teaching, which has been
integrated through India and is coming to
the West and
out of this 'synthesis' contains the beginning
point
for the true resolution of the question of the human."
