Though I take no exception with anything you said, it has been my experience that evolution, be it manifesting in the physical sense, or more subtly, in a spiritual sense, kind of stretches of into infinity. It seems like there is no end to it in either direction. Would it not then make sense to say that evolution finds no final apex, but rather spirals upwards infinitely? Though this is something to which I cannot place a definitve answer, I have always thought that (in the words of Ken Wilbur) we are all food for the next generation, no epoch is finally privileged. Please Barin, elucidate, I want us both to be accurate at the same time.

My answer:

Yes, Mezzomorto, the Evolution has no end. It is there eternally.

When we will be in the supramental race, we will be striving for further evolution, both you and I and others, who want and aspire the eternal progression.

Thanks for this beautiful question.

Interesting, how then would pathology manifest when that is the status quo? I'm presuming that higher stages of evolution occurring on this planet will still be subject to duality.

My answer:

There is no status quo in the eternal progression. Or if any status quo is there, that is temporary, which will change from time to time, as it also happens in our present life as human beings. There is no permanent status quo even in present day humanity.

Supramental beings will not be centered around mind, or even very intelligent mind, or even with highly spiritual mind. They will be beings with Supermind. Supermind is not a mind, as the principle of life is not a mind, nor is the principle of matter is mind. Of course, everything is involved with matter. Life has evolved from Matter. Mind has evolved from Life in Matter. Similarly, Supermind, or Truth-Consciousness, will emerge and evolve out of Mind in the Living Matter.
Supermind is a principle higher than Mind, out of reach of the common ordinary mind. But when Man reaches the higher regions of mind, termed as the Higher Mind, the Intuitive Mind, the Illumined Mind, and the Overmind, as defined by Sri Aurobindo, when Man reaches there, he can have the glimpse and the touch of Supermind. It may be very difficult, even appear to be impossible. But when the Supramental Consciousness is present on earth, things will be easier, much easier.

And now the Supermind is on earth, actively present on earth. I am quoting from Mother's Agenda Vol.1:

FIRST SUPRAMENTAL MANIFESTATION


(During the common meditation on Wednesday

The 29^th February 1956)

This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you. I had the form of a living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door, which separated the world from the Divine.

As I looked at the door, I knew and willed, in a single movement of consciousness, that ‘the time has come', and lifting with both hands a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow on the door and the door was shattered to pieces.

Then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness rushed down upon earth in an uninterrupted flow.

When the Supermind will start functioning in the full swing, many things will change, more or less, including pathology. However, even when supramental beings will be there, there still may be human beings. And pathology need not change for them, but still there will be improvements in it also.

All apes have not become human beings. Even all kinds of apes were not evolved as human beings. Apes are present very well now also. All apes laws are still applicable to them, like jumping from one tree to another.

So, some men will reside on earth, in a better society, in a better life, when the supramental race will manifest.

Thank you for the question.

Sincerely,

Barin
