For this reason astronomers and scientific
cosmologists ponder endlessly over whether the universe is expanding to
its ultimate disintegration, or collapsing into a monstrous Black Hole,
given the ‘dark matter’ we cannot account for out there. Science is
also caught in the conundrum of expansion versus contraction – the
‘secret’ of the Sphinx.
Actually the two directions are contiguous,
simultaneous, indeed as depicted in the single-bodied Sphinx. But it is
only when India fulfils her part of the prophecy that this cosmic
puzzle will be solved for science. Meanwhile, we struggle to reinstate
the Mother’s original Vision and Act of Measuring at the heart of her
work because it is the new vedi that answers the demands of
both Egypt and India, and science and spirituality as well.
The Balancing
Universe
There was a discontinuity between
pre-pharaonic Egypt and the later Pharaonic period; an unaccounted-for
gap of several thousand years exists. During that time fragments of earlier
accomplishments are found here and there across the globe, in very
ancient Peru and Bolivia, for example, seat of the Incan
‘descendants of the Sun’, and then in the Vedic Age. India did not
experience a gap as such, though the actual origins of her Vedic
knowledge are lost to us, as demonstrated by the Capricorn symbol-map.
We see the development from a certain point in history rather clearly.
We move from the Vedic Age, as recorded in the Veda, to the Puranic
period when the Knowledge was forced underground. In between, the
description of a dilution, if it may be so called, is mirrored in the
successive Upanishads. The early texts are closer to the Vedic Source;
but then there is a distancing as otherworldliness began to encroach
upon the Earth-oriented realisation of the ancient Rishis. It is a very
different culture that we observe in the subcontinent in Medieval India.
Regarding Egypt, however, we have no such clear
documentation. But we do have the Giza Pyramids that stand as witness
to a civilisation in perfect alignment with the heavenly surround, as
pre-eminently demonstrated in their very alignment: the Great Pyramid
and its two companions are exact replicas on Earth of Orion’s Belt in
the constellation of that name. Moreover, it was in 10,500 BCE that a
perfect overhead alignment would have last occurred with those distant
stars. And in this manner the ancients also provided us with the means
to locate the time of their creation: 12,000 years ago, or in the
astrological Age of Leo, just as the hallowed Sphinx announces.
The period of Man/Aquarius is pinpointed for us as
the last of Vishnu’s famous ‘three strides to measure the universe’. We
began this most sacred passage in 1926, when Sri Aurobindo laid the
foundation by his own realisation that very year, thus allowing for the
coming Supramental Manifestation.
The Age of
Fulfilment
This is the time when all the threads
are pulled together, when the lines of the Supramental Descent are
drawn and the pieces are put in place, for it is the last and highest
of Vishnu’s strides; and the last Avataric appearance. But this covers
a development of many thousands of years. We will provide a superb
example of the manner in which this ‘thread pulling’, so to speak, is
taking shape in our very own times, and through these very Chronicles;
the reader can then appreciate that this is not a meaningless exercise
but that its purpose is vast and comprehensive. The example we provide
is from a portion of the 13th volume of The Mother’s
Agenda, page 177 of the English version, and page 267 of the original
French.
