Living Truth Has the Last Word

Even though Reality appears different in different states of consciousness, at its 'summit' all states fall away. Meantime, it's fun to gab and scribble about its 'spectrum' -- as long as those who are not yet 'Realized' don't insist their version of 'truth' is the right one -- for in the end, the Living Truth must have the last word.

I quoted the following already (I'm sure) from The Flame Of Love - A Theology Of The Holy Spirit, penned by Clark H. Pinncok, but will again for the purpose of cross-referencing with what Sri Aurobindo said in The Mind of Light to see how although the spiritual orientation is different, in the end both philosophies word-point to the same 'truth'.

"God is present to us in creation, and the world is a natural sacrament. We meet Spirit in moments of joy and sadness, hope and yearning, suffering and struggle.
Spirit is in at work in the world and not "an ornament of piety." Our experience has the potential to mediate his presents. Spirit is "the mobile, pure, people-loving Spirit who prevedes every wretched corner, wailing at the waste, relaesing power that enables fresh start.
Her energy quickens the earth to life, her beauty shines in the stars, her strength breaks forth in every fragment of shalom and renewal that transpires in arenas of violence and meaningless."
(quote from "Johnson She Who Is p.213.)

The phrase "in arenas of violence and meaningless" is important. Spirit is not only everywhere present but everywhere up against the human negation of God.
The world does not know or receive the Spirit (Jn 14:17). There are powers of resistance with whom the Spirit is locked in mortal combat. Spirit is present in the struggle to make creatures whole, giving hope to the hopeless and working at reconciliation to bring about newness.
Spirit renews the face of the ground and works to restore brokenness, For when sin abounds, the Spirit's grace does much more abound.

Second, Creator Spirit keeps the link between creation and redemption open and alive.
Theology has the unfortunate habit of drawing a line between creation and redemption, distinguishing them too sharply. This looses sight of of the truth that redemption is a restoration of creation, not its denial. . . ."

"Let us stop demoting the Spirit, relegating him to spheres of church and piety. His role in creation is foundational to these other activities. The whole creation is home to the Spirit's operations, and the cosmic fruits issue in new creation The Spirit is the perfecter of the works of God in creation."

Aurobindo's The Mind of Light was published in 1953 . . . He didn't witness the Berlin wall collapse, didn't witness the other political changes on the world-stage. Slowly and surely the changes come . . .
Hell, my (Polish) father was arrested for buying a pig to feed his skinny brood of 6 which he purchased from a farmer directly -- which was against the communist law.  Had Sri lived longer, would he sound more optimistic about the "descent" of Supermind? The following is one of the more 'up beat' passages.

"It should be noted, however, that even at the bottom of the involutionary descent, in the blind eclipse of consciousness in Matter, in every field of the working of the Inconscient there are signs of the labour of an infallible force, the drive of a secret consciousness and its promptings, as if the Inconscient itself were secretly informed or impelled by a Power with a direct and absolute knowledge; its acts of creation are infinitely surer than the workings of our human consciousness at its best or the normal workings of the Life-power."
