On Auroville 2022 to 2025

according to the true Consciousness alone, we would be stronger and would not have been thus divided, impuissant and exposed. Therefore, this document is presented as a tool of perception and collaborative search. Whether in small groups or individually, one can contribute to it, alter, complete, simplify and clarify it and thus we shall eventually find in it a ground of agreement and common action.

How to, all together, find again the sense of the Auroville Way, now, today, in 2024? How to re-learn together, learn anew to serve the spirit of Auroville, so that it incarnates progressively upon earth in a collective body? What can we, must we retain of the past experience since the foundation of Auroville in 1968? Here are some notes and propositions to be shared, contemplated, developed so as to commit, each and all, to a more conscious and more humble process of evolution, offered to the task before us all, at the service of Truth. 1. Never to lie. Never to lie to oneself but maintain a constant vigilance, lucidity, honesty, sincerity, integrity in every movement of our being (mental, emotional, vital, physical, material). Never to lie to anyone under any pretext: one may abstain and keep silent, if one perceives a possible danger resulting from saying what one knows to be true, but in no circumstance must one ever allow oneself to knowingly and voluntarily distort the actual truth. Truth is the only durable and solid foundation for the evolution of Auroville. Any lie, as inconsequent at it may appear, acts like an invisible corrosion which eventually will corrupt the entire collective edifice. Resolutions: 2. Creation of a Forum. Approach every difficulty and every contradiction as an occasion to develop a better understanding and as an indication of the needed progress. Open and maintain an organ of reflection and offering – a Forum – constantly accessible, both physically and virtually, wherein each and everyone may present an observation, a question, so as to place it in relation to the spirit of Auroville. Every subject, every issue, can be presented there, for there is nothing that cannot or must not be offered to the Force of change, to the force of Truth, beyond all judgment, opinion, prejudice, in an aspiration towards an ever more inclusive, comprehensive, integral harmony.
