          Presently this key element is non-existent. Therefore there is no holding power for the township. In practical terms what this means is that Auroville’s future, disconnected as the township is from that new base, is simply what it is for ordinary humanity: a jumble of possibilities and mostly unrealisable potentials. Today one thread of those multitude of possibilities is taken up, tomorrow another. Having lost its connection to the Ashram at the time it rejected the Mother’s Vision in the 1970s, it could only tumble into the waiting arms of the Government and must abide now by the preferences and goals of political parties. A supramental focus of purpose is lacking whereby no such experimentation with destiny, if it may be so called, takes place. The future would be ordered, made a cosmos, responding to higher laws and patterns of destiny – indeed, the highest known to humanity for many thousands of years. In such a condition there is never any waste and never a residue. This is the application of Supermind in that integrated field. The symbol of the Sun provides an exact description (see CIC 7).
          On the basis of this symbol we learn that Point and Circle are one, harmonised, each dependent on the other. Boundaries are known and accepted, as in a true cosmos. It can be macrocosmic, like our own solar system. It can be microcosmic, like each individual component within that system. The important factor is that the PERFECT CENTRE exists, the CENTRE THAT HOLDS.
          And so, on one edge of the chasm there is the Ashram that is locked in its glorious past and afflicted by a complacent, indulgent Tamas that such a situation engenders. It therefore experiences no growth and is unable to apply its store of wisdom, power and experience because that extended field is not integrated into a single unified base where that Past can find its rightful place and contribute to the flowering of the new creation. It is thus trapped in the parameters of the old field, in an incomplete system, prisoner of the old way.
          On the other side of the chasm there is the inchoate future, caught in the bind of a vehement blinding Rajas. The balancing power of Sattwa (the present) is absent.
          In this ruler of Gnostic Time, with the Ashram as the Past and Auroville the Future, the Bridge that alone can connect and integrate the two is the Present. Thus, there is no power of the Present in action in this truncated process, which implies an actualising force on Earth. Both communities have rejected that connecting Bridge – the City by rejecting the Mother’s Vision in 1970, and the Ashram by doing the same when in 1978 it rejected the only book in the world where that very Vision and its temple were ‘constructed’ – read, preserved. This was the contingency plan since the Auroville community had made its choice to adopt the Troika model (see CIC 2). The Mother’s Vision could not be allowed to perish. But the same forces that dismissed her Plan also set upon the Book, undeniably in an affront to Saraswati reminiscent of the Inquisition. To compound the matter, the same press that shredded this already printed Book to pieces, where the only record of the Mother’s sacred Vision and its knowledge content was preserved, readily published the gibberish contained in A House for the Third Millennium, with Lohman’s banal interpretation of inside-outside/upside-down consciousness and fourth dimensional measuring! (See CIC 4). Indeed, there was an identical , predictable response to the Vision on both ‘shores of time’.
          The new base must be constituted by these three elements, which are represented by Gnostic Time as Past (the Ashram), Present (the Bridge), Future (the City). This describes an integral field. In terms of number-power, by which means we can APPLY the formula, they are 9 (the future), 6 (the past), and 3 (the present).
