Journey to Supermind: THE LIFE DIVINE, by Sri Aurobindo – Session #3
Channel: Cosmos Co-op
Date: 2018-06-15

This is our third session exploring Indian/Integral philosopher, poet, and yogi Sri Aurobindo’s classic *The Life Divine,* wherein @Douggins introduces his futuristic poetic vision for Auroworld, where all your deepest spiritual questions are answered, and we go on to share personal experiences/reflections on Mahler's Eighth Symphony; contemplative neuroscience; transmuting pain into bliss; the Singularity of consciousness (and technology); and the Delight of Existence (as problem and solution).

There was more, of course. We are working not only with ideas, but with an energy, a ‘conscious force’ (shakti), manifesting through us. If you are reading along, please share your own experiences related to the The Life Divine in the forum at Infinite Conversations.

## Background

Hosted by Metapsychosis.com, ‘Journey to Supermind’ is a series of reading/writing and creative/spiritual practice group events dedicated to the philosopher, poet, integral yogi, and spiritual revolutionary Sri Aurobindo. 

In this weekly series running from June to November 2018, we are reading his magnum opus of evolutionary metaphysics, The Life Divine, while creating a field for exploring his poetic and literary works (e.g., Savitri); political and historical thought (e.g., The Human Cycle); and practical teachings on human transformation, or Integral Yoga (e.g., The Synthesis of Yoga).
