“Flowers speak to us when we know how to listen to them,” says the Mother. “It is a subtle and fragrant language.” As if to provide a key to this language, she identified the significances of almost nine hundred flowers! Sri Aurobindo once remarked: “The plants are very psychic but they can express it only by silence and beauty.” In this course series, the Mother’s early introduction to the subtle essence and vibrations of flowers and those she assigned to the 12 Living Principles are presented.
We then continue our journey inwards with an exploration of the cosmic consciousness. Access to the cosmic or universal consciousness is through the subliminal realm of the inner mind, vital and physical. In the subliminal realm, the inner mind opens to higher and vaster ranges of cognition, the inner vital, to universal prana and boundless energy, and the inner physical, to the subtle senses whose range is non-local.
Sri Aurobindo discovered a more intimate aspect of the cosmic consciousness which he calls the ‘environment consciousness’. The environment consciousness envelopes one’s physicality and is where thoughts, feelings, ideas, beliefs, and even illnesses first enter our personal field. Aura is the modern term used to define one’s environment consciousness. Notably, Sri Aurobindo knew of this energy field years before Charles Leadbeater, Rudolf Steiner, Edgar Cayce, and others who popularized the concept and understood it within the much broader context of cosmic consciousness.
Lastly, participants are invited to engage in a meditative exercise: Widening Your Consciousness, which helps to open us up to the comic consciousness.
