The discernment and the guide

Auroville and the world: the site of the experiment

The Mother had initiated and founded an attempt at condensed, accelerated collective evolution. It was in 1968.

Yet She warned:

“Auroville will be what it must be only if and when the people living there will stop lying.”

This was not to imply that those already present were ordinary “liars”; rather, it was pointing at the indispensable individual choice and commitment to desist from any form or sort of alteration, dissimulation, deception, embellishment, presentation or betrayal of the factual truth, be it external or internal, physical or psychological. For, without this living and continuous commitment, the physical consciousness could not become clarified and receptive enough to the workings of the Force, nor could it hope to develop the capacity to hold and retain any flow of the true Consciousness. And, without this living and continuous commitment on each participant’s part, it would be much more difficult and tedious as a collective to reach and build an atmosphere of transparent trust, sharing and solidarity in the adventure.
