02. The Triple Transformation: Psychic – Spiritual – Supramental

Fragment ID: 2449

What you see above is of course the true or higher consciousness – the Mother’s – in which one sees all the world as one, a vast free consciousness full of freedom, peace and light – it is that that we speak of as the higher or divine consciousness. Even if it comes and goes, yet its effect on the heart shows that a connection has been established through the psychic – for the psychic is behind the heart. It is there above the head that the consciousness has to ascend and remain; while it also descends into the head and heart and lower vital and physical and brings there its wideness, light, peace and freedom.
