How to call It?

What a supramental body, a body of the new species, will be like, what will be its abilities, its functions and its possibilities, the present body knows not yet. But it senses, it feels, it aspires and turns to an almost accessible material, corporeal state, which seems as if to stand at the edge of a mist enveloping us still. Of which it divines and senses the possibilities as if these were lacking or it was missing them, as if they were legitimately its own but had been taken away, or denied – or else, as if they had been promised long ago and were now imminent and most required. An intermediate body?

First and foremost it aspires to become able to progress continuously – that the time be granted to consolidate and fortify and deepen, in concrete and practical terms, its union with the true consciousness and the Presence, to learn to express and manifest ever more faithfully in ever newer and more tangible ways the reality of the Presence in the world. And to this end it aspires firstly to be relieved of its dependency on other material forms and organisms for its own sustenance and to learn and receive directly the energies needed for the renewal and progress of its cellular aggregate.
