But it is this race that, according to her, would really merit to be regarded as composed of Gnostic Beings and making the Gnostic Community. Evidently her New Race and her Superman do not coincide as mostly did Sri Aurobindo's. Nor are her Gnostic Being and Gnostic Community the same as his. Doubtless, the description "New Race" is at... semi- supramentalised group, "a new humanity", possessing what he called the Mind of Light. In this context he labelled that humanity as "the new race", and told us: "Its mentality...at its highest...would be capable of passing into the supermind and from the new race would be recruited the race of supramental beings who would appear as the leaders of the. evolution in earth-nature",³ a community entirely... the great time ahead: "...preparing the future humanity to receive the supramental light that will transform the elite of today into a new race manifesting upon earth the new light and force and life."

... for a new life, a new race, a new age. Both Mother and Sri Aurobindo have come down here, into this clay world of ours, with a particular mission. It is not to establish another religion like Buddhism, Islam or Christianity. All these -isms are now back in great numbers. But Sri Aurobindo and the Mother do not want to found a religion; they want to establish a new race, a new race of Supramental ... beings, out of this human material. And I believe that many of you will, one day, belong to this new race. That is their mission and that is what they are doing day and night, night and day. You may have already got some proof of it; you may have had some taste of it, if you have looked a little more intently, quietly, at all the activities that are going on in the Ashram, and particularly in... from now, perhaps, you'll see that City of Dawn rising, little by little. So, young friends, let us have this aspiration today that we should Page 267 like to belong to this new race.

Returning on 10 October to the speculation regarding the probable first appearance of the new race, the Mother makes a significant distinction between an intermediate race evolving out of the present human race and the outright new race that may take a few centuries to arrive upon the terrestrial scene. But the time for the former is even now: ...the time has... earth-atmosphere and the time the first man appeared, nearly a million years elapsed. Now it will go faster.... But faster means still thousands of years probably.

So, if we wish to belong to the new race, the new creation, we must in all simplicity and sincerity follow the path of Sri Aurobindo shown to us by the Mother: the manifestation of the new race is not a freak, there is a method in it, and if we submit to it we too, in all probability... unfortunate point de depart, there is to my mind a note of over-optimism about our own immediate possibilities. I should be ready to grant that the Mother's force is working for the advent of the new race, but I cannot believe that the collectivity can so easily become responsive now and achieve for itself what it is alleged to have fatally prevented the Mother from doing for her own body.

Yoga of Sri Aurobindo - Part 5 VII MAN AND SUPERMAN When we speak of the superman we refer to a new race—almost a new species—that will appear on earth as the inevitable result of Nature's evolution.

Now, one may ask, what would be the relation between the two humanities—the human and the divine ? And what would be the effect of the appearance of the new race upon the older stock? Here again we can take up the animal analogy. How has the advent of Page 32 man affected the animal kingdom? It has affected to a certain extent, even to a ...

The best homage that we can render to Sri Aurobindo on his centenary... the possible end of civilisation but, in truth, thanks to the double action of supreme human effort and the answering response of Grace - it is actually the ushering in of the Next Future, and the new race of Superman.

... Blue Group with Udar Pinto as Captain. By bringing the young and old together on the Playground, the Mother aimed at a purposeful communion and transcendence, hinting at the ultimate emergence of a new race of supermen. The children of course - most of them, at any rate - hadn't deliberately opted for Ashram life as the elder sadhaks had; the children had only been brought or sent to the Ashram ...
... being, there would certainly be an intermediate specimen, one who would still be man in his outer appearance but with a consciousness sufficiently developed and transformed to constitute "a new race, a race of supermen". 14 Six months later, in answer to a question, the Mother said on 8 October, that there could be many intermediate stages between the mental man and the ultimate supramental ...
... process. Then again the web closes up: 72.197 There's an accumulation of defeatism in the body's subconscient, we absolutely must change that. The subconscient has to be clarified for the new race to come — it's a mire. It's full of defeatism: the first reaction is defeatist. And it keeps rising to the surface.... There is TREMENDOUS energy checked by that — by that horrible thing. Then ...

Listen Björn, you yourself have said we are a new race of adventurers; very well, what do you think adventure is? To discover magic potions? To remain with one's feet in the air, to hold one's breath?... The adventure is to be conscious of everything ...

... Sweet Mother, will there not be any intermediary states between man and superman? There will probably be many. Man and superman? You are not speaking of the new supramental race, are you? Are you really speaking of what we call the superman, that is, man born in the human way and trying to transform the physical being he has received by his ordinary human birth? Are... stages, so... In reality, in this race to the Transformation, the question is to know which of the two will arrive Page 410 first: the one who wants to transform his body in the image of the divine Truth, or the old habit of the body to go on disintegrating until it is so deformed that it can no longer continue to live in its outer integrality It is a race between transformation and decay ...

The promise is given: ...

... rituals” were intended to bring present-day Nordic people into contact with the dead ancestors in order to find out their secrets, which would enable the Germans of the twentieth century to found a new master race. 671 Like Dr Gutberlet with his “astral pendulum”, many birds of occult plumage must have visited Thule’s seat, the hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in the Maximilianstrasse. Heinrich Himmler is known... pragmatism. (The Americans commonly use the term “spiritualism”; we will use the term “spiritism”, not to cause confusion with the practice of spirituality.) Spiritism was considered no less than a new religion by its adherents. “The question of the continuation of life and the hope that death at the end is actually not the end are too deeply anchored in the human being not to try to respond to them... does not satisfy them any longer. Their living spirit demands more nourishment than that.” 664 As such, spiritism is clearly part of the pulling out of the medieval roots and the transition toward new times. “In the 1860s and 1870s numerous progressive spiritist groupings began to hold their own gatherings on Sundays, as an alternative to the Christian religious services. They consisted of lectures ...
... mind, life and body, this development and organisation of a power beyond mind, a supramental power, would be the creation of a new superhuman race and that the use of the words human and humanly would no longer be in place. This is no doubt true, but the possibility for the race still remains, if not for all in the same degree or at the same time, yet in an eventual fulfilment. ... destiny and not as now only of a part of it, first to provide the conditions of life and growth by which individual Man,—not isolated men or a class or a privileged race, but all individual men according to their capacity,—and the race through the growth Page 65 of its individuals may travel towards this divine perfection.

Freedom and harmony express the two necessary principles of variation and oneness,—freedom of the individual, the group, the race, coordinated harmony of the individual's forces and of the efforts of all individuals in the group, of all groups in the race, of all races in the kind,—and these are the two conditions of healthy progression and successful arrival.

... Then why should we make personal efforts? "What must happen will happen"? You know what I meant?—that there have been prophecies from the beginning of the world that there will be a new earth and a new human race and that the Divine will be manifest upon earth: and so I tell you, what must happen, will happen; what has been predicted, will be realised. There we are, it is that, it is not a small... satisfy them. They make a theory of it. You continue to satisfy your desires and then, naturally, you have others, for desires—well, one replaces another very easily, and you continue to satisfy the new ones under the idea that you are going to get cured.

And after all, I ...
... Animals are obviously more conscious than plants, but WILLED (and thus more rapid) progress belongs to humanity. Likewise, what one hopes (more than hopes!), what one expects is that when the new supramental race comes upon earth, the work will go much more swiftly; and man will necessarily benefit from this. And since things will be done in true order instead of in mental disorder, animals and everything... remain as they are! What kind of earth would it be for the supramental race to live on if no Matter gave response, if Matter did not begin to vibrate and respond to the Will? The same difficulties would always be there. And it isn't limited: for instance, even if we imagine a power over the body making corporeal life different, this new corporeal life still has to exist within an environment—it can't remain... automatically become universalized.... Yes, necessarily. And we are told that we have to change the Subconscient, to Page 289 bring Light into it; but being universal it has no end! New vibrations keep coming in at every instant... No! ...vibrations from the outside, from here, there—it's endless. How can we change it? No, it isn't endless—it's limited to the earth's atmosphere ...
