In one letter you make four divisions: mental Overmind, intuitive Overmind, true Overmind and supramentalised Overmind. You have also used the expression: "Overmind Gnosis."

The Overmind 'touch' on the Higher Mind and Illumined Mind can thus raise towards the O.I. or to the O.G. or leave in the M.O.; but estimating at a glance ...

... from there?

If the power of an ordering overmind Gnosis intervenes, then there is a cosmic structure of the consciousness and action, but this is not like the rigid mental structures; it is plastic, organic, something that can grow and develop and ...

... planes of overmind that are more and more connected with the supermind and have a Page 153 partly supramental character. Highest in the overmind ranges is the supramental Overmind or Overmind gnosis. But these are things you cannot understand until you get a higher experience. It [ the overmind ] can for convenience be divided into four planes—mental overmind and the three you have ...
... them. Several of their elements leave us in a blur. We might have been helped if there had been private records of Sri Aurobindo himself, such as those which yielded to us the mention of the Overmind Gnosis. Unfortunately no diary-notes of the Master from 1920 to 1926 exist. All we are left with is the sense of the time-span within which the process must have taken place. ¹. Purani, ...
... sporadic recurrence of its reflex action in the Subconscient, one has then to rise into the Overmind which is beyond the Higher Mind, Illumined Mind and the plane of Intuition, and bring down the Overmind gnosis into the Subconscient and the Inconscient. The Overmental widening of consciousness is a global universalisation, and its perfection marks the snapping of all egoistic bonds, and a considerable ...
