Undated Script, c. 1927 - 1928

There is no certitude as yet of an absolute kind; even the relative certitude is very much veiled for the present. At any rate the ground has been cleared of much of the remnants of the intelligence. It is practically certain that much more will be done tonight, but the direction is not clear.

This will be done. First, in the third chatusthaya the entire elimination of the merely mental reason; the entire elimination of the original mind. The supramentalised form of these things in the Overmind. Second, the Vishaya and the Samadhi. In the latter, first coherence, then supramentalisation of lipi in deep samadhi,—stability and supramentalisation of drishya, ghatana, chintana, itihasa. In the former, freedom of all the four. Rupa soon to be complete followed by the fifth vishaya. Thirdly—in fourth chatusthaya, Arogya and Ananda to be established; the other two to be carried forward. In the fifth great increase of Karma and Kama.

These things will be done progressively but with a sufficiently rapid movement. Tonight begins the completion of the third chatusthaya.

It will be complete before long. There is no doubt of it.

All this is partly the old struggle, partly the process of supramentalising the most material consciousness and its movements, partly a condition of the farther advance of the supermind transformation.

Many things have still to be done before the divine gnosis can manifest in the nature. It is the gnostic overmind in different forms

that is now current there; it has to be transformed into the true supermind gnosis. Let it be done rapidly from tonight till the 15ᵗʰ instant.

It is sure of fulfilment in the end but constantly delayed by the apparently chaotic complexity of the process. As yet, it is not the end. It is true that the most material couch is open and touched, though not yet transformed. But this is not sufficient; for the power that will work in it must be the true supermind, and as yet it is only the supramentalised overmind that has become at all normal in the material consciousness; the others are normal only for a time and then there is a relapse to the supramentality and to the supramentalised mind or overmind. This is the trouble.

It will soon be overcome.

[.....]¹ has become more normal and facile, the first can now disappear. The second will remain until supermind in overmind (a still higher stage) can be perfectly established. That again will remain until gnostic overmind has changed into gnosis [in]² overmind. The transformation will then be complete and only the transcendence of overmind and ascent into divine gnosis will be left as the last step to the perfect siddhi.

[......] supramental movement³ [......] disregards all apparent disproof [and] adverse circumst[ances.]

The automatic perfection of supramental overmind thought is the next siddhi indicated. It will begin with a progressive elimination of all that remains of supramentalised mind in overmind.
