And the great Indian mystic Aurobindo, earlier in this century, said, the future is that force of new realisation not yet actual towards which the past was moving and for the sake of which it lived. . . . It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner Spirit and the logic of Nature's process. . . . The appearance of a human possibility in a material and animal world was the first glint of some coming divine Light, the first far-off promise of a godhead to be born out of Matter. . . . Out of the . . . All this must come as surely as the first atom came from the primeval heat.
Nature proclaims the power of self-transcendence seen in evolution.
There is a correspondence between Nature and Human nature, and we are come from primitive sensing cells that learned to find the direction to the Sun. The ancients believed that the primary stuff out of which things are made is alive, to Heraclitus, a living fire, out of which the soul is made. There was a belief, held for long millennia, that the eternal law was spread through the universe like tiny atoms of soul. There are laws that apply in this realm, but not in that. But the laws of Nature seem sometimes like a river.
