... humanity is developing today towards creation of a new order of the world through the instrumentality of which highest state of humanity's fulfillment can be realized. 3 Evolution and Human Progress It may, however, be argued that even if there was an Page 3 evolutionary stress in the animal kingdom as a result of which man has evolved, that stress must have sunk back into... into quiescence as soon as the object was fulfilled by man's appearance. It may further be argued that there is no evolutionary stress in humanity; it may be contended that the idea of human progress itself is very probably an illusion, for there is no sign that man, once emerged from the animal stage, has radically progressed during his race-history. It may be conceded that man has advanced in knowledge... as a degree in the scale of rebirth, but as an open step towards the spiritual and supramental status." 7 According to Sri Aurobindo, the time has come in the evolutionary story of man when human progress demands imperatively an upward curve of the spiritual progress, and this progress impels the race to be carried beyond itself, into a self-exceeding, a transformation of the mental being and even ...

To the extent that we outgrow the habit of referring everything to ourselves, we ...

NATURE In the economy of man the mental nature rests upon the moral, and the education of the intellect divorced from the perfection of the moral and emotional nature is injurious to human progress.

Six of the world's most famous men have been brought together, apparently by chance, in a life-boat in which they have taken refuge when the ship that was carrying them to a world conference on human progress sank in mid-ocean.

The filled activity of the thinking mind is as much part of life as that of the body and vital and emotional being, and its growth and predominance are a necessary stage of human progress and man's self-evolution.

For a time the names Julian Huxley and evolution became more or less synonymous, and he was ranked as one of the five best brains of Britain. “Huxley believed in human progress with a religious zeal, and he wanted others to share his belief.

This evolution takes place at present by a conflict and progress of ideas applied to life. In their primary aspect human ideas of life are simply a mental translation of the forces and tendencies of life itself as they emerge in the form of needs, desires and interests. The human mind has a practical intelligence more or less clear and exact which takes these things... the law of our actualities and the law of our potentialities. The latter takes for the human intellect which tends always to an arbitrary and emphatic statement of things, the form of a fixed ideal standard or set of principles from which our actual life is a fall and deviation or towards which it is a progress and aspiration. The evolutionary idea of Nature and life brings us to a profounder view ...
... Aswapathy too is often denoted by the same vocable. Let us briefly note the sequence of the human aspirant's progress. "His soil" is prepared and "his soul" is built into the statue of a god. "His rhythmic parts" are modelled "in inward time" by the World-Craftsman. Then suddenly divinity enters the human formation. There is the birth of a Seer, Time receives a shining Guest. It is the being of Aswapathy... powers, illuminations and widenesses; by his victory he ushers in the wide days of the siddha, for which these nights and dawns of our human life are the preparatory movements." 1 We have here the picture of a divine Presence that establishes itself in the human consciousness, turning that consciousness into a figure of divinity. We have pointers to the light of a Seer-Guest being "born victorious"... a portion of the human intellectuality that has to be cloven with the help of the freshly arrived and established Fire-God who in the Rig-veda is simultaneously the mortal's visitor from heaven and his immortal in-dweller, purifier, guide, mediator, liberator. As already suggested, Agni may himself be looked upon as the break, the gap, in the lid or vault formed by the human mind. In that aspect ...

Can it help human consciousness progress?" Immediately, Mother broke out laughing. She had no need to "think" about the value of LSD: She had experienced LSD. So, I had the experience without swallowing the drug! And everything... world, things, beings took on a clarity for Mother only in proportion to the consciousness they contained—and strangely enough, human beings were not always the ones to contain the most consciousness! Those "black screens" are a typically human phenomenon, perhaps even purely human: how often did Mother speak of the life in stones, not to mention the bottles of mouthwash! Well, some people come to see... it the "Truth-Consciousness" and in what way He was "blind." I never saw the world so much as since I have withdrawn, he wrote.

... in which there is, as it grows, increasing pressure towards a real self-knowledge. In technical terms, it can be said that it is the human consciousness progressing towards or groping towards real self-knowledge that can be called evolutionary Ignorance, distinguishable from involutionary Ignorance, which was the parent of the Inconscience. In the working of the evolutionary Ignorance, therefore,... individuality becomes more and more visible, and it is in evolution of human consciousness that the body, life and mind within the limits of which the human consciousness seems to be operating in states of great imprisonment of confinement that individuality becomes more and more manifest in particular forms of body, life and mind.
