... Purification of the Cells Mother or The New Species - II 12. The Infiltration And sometimes, without really knowing why, the true Vibration, the supramental Vibration or Power, emerged from behind the veil of mud. All we know is that the experience seemed to come more and more often. Twice the supramental world took veritable possession of me and both times... there must be some degree of clarification and broadening first, a beginning of infiltration through the veil of mud—later on, we will understand, or rather the body will understand. The Supramental Vibration The infiltration took place, slow, controlled and more and more "nourished" through the years, with an occasional great onslaught of supramental Power. And each time Mother's description... like a "fever" or a "fire" only because it is shut up in a cage. Birds do not get fever! At least not supramental fever. But neither do they know that they are "birds." Mother described the supramental Vibration to me dozens of times over the years, each time, however, with a sense of wonderment. What is very remarkable is that the perception of that Vibration seems to cause a triple transformation ...
... Matter. Space is connected to time, as we know, but everything contained in this "concrete" space changes properties as if by miracle as soon as the perception of time changes—as soon as the supramental Vibration comes into play. We could say that a particular speed of vibration, or rather a particular slowness, gives us the impression of colliding everywhere with pieces of solid Matter separated by... mean, that doesn't move WITHIN a space but is both beyond immobility and beyond movement, in the sense that it's so rapid as to be absolutely imperceptible to all the senses... 12 It is the supramental Vibration, which decidedly combines all opposites. I've noticed that in that state, the Movement exceeds the force or power that concentrates the cells into an individual form... 12 That is, you feel... stops... and Matter is transformed. This is perhaps an unexpected angle of the problem. The transformation of Matter is a problem of transforming the tempo of material consciousness. The supramental Vibration is at once perfectly still and characterized by fantastic movement. Mathematicians say that at the speed of light time stops, or it is the limit of time when it curves back onto its space ...
... something else — a being who takes the first step. Sri Aurobindo and Mother are neither philosophers nor sages nor saints: they are the pioneers or the experimenters of the next species. The Supramental Vibration The first time a tear occurred in the web was in 1958, the year of Joliot-Curie's death and of the first American satellite. Then the phenomenon recurred in increasing doses until the great... like a pulsation in the cells. During the first months, I had an almost detailed awareness of these myriad cells opening with that vibration. That is the vibration which Mother called the “supramental vibration”; physicists may call it by some other name in their vocabulary, but it is the same. 66.1511 It's something that takes hold of the body: a vibration so warm, so sweet, and at the same time ...
... extraordinary power of vibration. Something wholly out of proportion to the human body—tremendous! And it goes through like that. 19 That vibration is precisely our mystery. We call it the supramental vibration, but we would like to know what that supramental is. And when it comes, when I look, some people melt (not many, very few), but others are terrified! They get up and run away... 20 And... were eternal moments, in the body. One day, I asked Mother what this type of intense aspiration was that took hold at times in the body: I think what we call intense aspiration must be the supramental vibration. 43 It is that in the bodies’ depths—the depths of all bodies—that first vibration that spun life into forms and forms, that became crusted over, hardened, schematized, but one only breaks ...
... ty, has the simplest key there is: it is the Mind of the cells that attracts or stops the formidable Current of the primary, supramental substance. It is the fixative or connector of the supramental vibration. That was why Mother fainted every time She wanted to enter into contact with the Supramental by abolishing the Mind of the body: for it is the intermediary, the bridge between Matter as it... supramental Light and Force in material Nature. 105 It is Mother’s whole experience: once delivered from the hypnotism of the physical Mind, this corporeal, cellular mind began to fix the supramental vibration and form a new body. It began to repeat the Mantra as invariably as its old catastrophes. It is the stabilizer. That is why that mind alone was left, She said after the radical cleansing of ...
... vibration on the mental; the mental presupposes a corresponding originative vibration on the supramental at the very root of things. But a mental vibration implies thought and perception and a supramental vibration implies a supreme vision and discernment. All vibration of sound on that higher plane is, then, instinct with and expressive of this supreme discernment of a truth in things and is at the same ...
... psychological point of view, there must be the condition I spoke about in the story of the stag: perfect equality. It is an absolute condition. I have observed since 1956, for years, that no supramental vibration can be transmitted except in this perfect equality. If there is the least opposition to this equality—in fact the least movement of ego, any preference of Page 112 the ego, it does ...
... divine Presence in matter—to the supramental consciousness; it is much easier to pass from that into the supramental consciousness than to pass from the highest intellectual speculation to any supramental vibration. Perhaps it is the word that misleads us! Perhaps it is because we call it "supramental" that we expect to reach it through a higher intellectual mental activity? But the fact is very different ...

... don't envisage the possibility of a long duration—that trance won't be very long? I don't think that's materially possible. And the purpose of that trance would basically be to fix the supramental vibration in the body? To transform what's not receptive. There are billions of elements in the body, so it's a mixture of receptivity and non-receptivity. It's still mixed. And that mixture is ...

But the reality is quite different ...
... hammering of the mantra, all kinds of phenomena start taking place, rather imperceptibly at first, like a breath, but becoming more precise and amplifying over the years. But first, the true supramental Vibration begins to infiltrate Matter, not in a crushing and "dazzling" way, but in a tenuous form that Mother described many times: As it works to settle itself in here, it produces this little vibration—a ...

How can we live that ...
... up. That's it, you understand: an INTENSE aspiration. And it's absolutely still, still within, as if all the cells grew still.... That must be it: what we call intense aspiration must be the supramental vibration. It must be the divine Vibration, the true divine vibration. I have often said that to myself. But if even for five minutes the body falls into the state of inertia—stillness without asp ...
... The supramental transformation of the mind of the body cells, of the matter of which the body consists, was called ‘the Mind of Light’ by Sri Aurobindo — of the supramental Light that is the supramental Vibration. About this completely new phenomenon on Earth he has first written in a series of articles requested by the Mother for the Bulletin of Physical Education , the quarterly of the section of ...
... the principal psychological requirement in my answer to that American: a state of perfect equality. This is an ABSOLUTE condition. Over the years since that experience I have observed that no supramental vibration whatsoever can be transmitted without this perfect equality. The slightest contradiction of Page 34 that equality—in other words, the least movement of ego, of egoistic preference—and ...
... It is that, an intense aspiration. And it is absolutely immobile, immobile within, as though all the cells became immobile.... It must be that. What we call intense aspiration must be the supramental vibration. It must be the divine vibration, the true divine vibration. That I have said to myself often. But if, even for a single minute, the body falls into the state of inertia—immobility without ...
... cellular consciousness was liberated from all the intermediate levels, including the physical mind. Here was now the possibility of infusing a new genetic code in the cells—the code of the supramental vibration of knowledge, power, harmony and immortality. This is the phenomenon that took place in Mother's body. A new ________________ ¹ ibid., pp. 228-9. ² Ibid., pp. 232-6. ...
... sleeping), it repeats its own vibration over and over again, automatically and independently. Hence, its great value for the transformation: it can become an extraordinary means of fixing the supramental vibration in the body. This is what Sri Aurobindo says about it: There is too an obscure mind of the body, of the very cells, molecules, corpuscles. Haeckel, the German materialist, spoke somewhere of ...

A fatigue which is—I can't say almost unbearable, because nothing in the ...

But her body had succeeded in getting "a complete immobility and an intense aspiration".* The aspiration was really a supramental vibration or the true vibration, and the immobility "the vibration of the true Consciousness... equivalent to the inertia of immobility", so intense that it is not even perceptible to us! Since creation ...

Now, the supramental Vibration has one peculiar property, among many others...

That must be it: what we call intense aspiration must be the supramental vibration. I have often said that to myself.

The supramental vibration. The vibration of pure, true Matter. The primal fire that ignited the stars. But it is an awesome fire…. “A vibration that has the intensity of a higher fire,” Mother said. And which ...

... historical consequences — more important perhaps, because more fundamental. For the transformed cell emits its supramental vibrations to which all correspondent elements in the world are automatically tuned. This has always been the clandestine influence of the yogi, also before the supramental Yoga. ‘Thou thinkest the ascetic in his cave or on his mountain-top a stone and a do-nothing.

She had also noted: ‘Mighty and long-lasting penetration of the supramental forces into the body, everywhere simultaneously.’ 39 And she explained that: ‘Penetration into the body, yes. Penetrations by [supramental] currents I have had several times, but that night that came as if there was nothing else but a supramental atmosphere. There was nothing... 1962 the second stage of the Work of the Avatar was accomplished: six years of intense Integral Yoga representing six hundred or six thousand years of unassisted supramental evolution. The pillars of the bridge connecting the supramental world and our gross material world were put in place. Normally at this point the Work of the Avatar would have come to an end. But it was decided that the Mother would ...
... 1951: ‘It may very well happen that at a given moment the supramental Force manifests, that it is conscious here, that it acts on Matter, but that those who don’t consciously participate in its vibration are incapable of perceiving it. People say: “When the supramental force manifests, we shall know it quite well. It will be seen.” Not necessarily. They will not feel it any more than those people of little... from elsewhere.’ 22 And she had written also: ‘Man must understand that in spite of all his intellectual achievements he is as incapable of perceiving the supramental vibrations as the animal was incapable of perceiving the mental vibrations when they pervaded the earth before the appearance of the human species.’ 23 All the same, not everybody had been ignorant of the fact that something... trained who are destined for the supramental life. These people, or at least part of their being, had already undergone a supramental transformation, for the ship itself and everything on board was neither material, subtle-physical, vital, or mental: [everything consisted of] a supramental substance.

... the only explanation of the ‘contagion’: Unity.’ 46 The vibration of the elementary particle has a repercussion in the whole universe, and vice versa; to the vibrations of one cell answer the vibrations of all cells, and the life of all cells has an effect on the life of the single one.
