Often when I go into solitude for meditation🧘♀️ for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldn’t see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple — it was me walking around some “school” if it can even be called that” with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I haven’t felt that way since, and I still don’t know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?

Old age is often called second childhood and we see the elderly expressing their repressed desires when they are of a ripe age❄️. They seem to become especially vulnerable and act more and more child-like as they near their death.

I am suffering😰 from lower vital hunger for Love. Unable to find right kind of vision to see the world. Life seems so empty. I pray to The Mother but still unable to move on. Unable to find my happiness without him.

I have been having very scary😱 dreams for the past 2-3 days, where an animal is chasing me and I am crying. But yesterday, the dream I had was different — in it, the plants in my house had flowers and fruits on them. Please tell me, do these dreams have any symbolic meaning?

In Savitri, does Eternal Night mean the deep of Inconscience and Everlasting Day mean the bliss of Superconscience? Sri Aurobindo describes the eternal night as ‘terror’s boundlessness’, ‘ pitiless void’ or as a ‘stupendous Nought’? If this is such a dark and strong denial of being, how does Savitri 🕊️even manage to talk to Death? One can understand that in the Everylasting Day it is all so beautiful that Savitri can talk to the Lord but it is hard to makes sense of Eternal Night.
The Eternal Night is indeed the Inconscient. Its terrifying aspect is because it is a state of ultimate separation from the Divine. Hence it is

I see an alchemical ⚗️🧪touch in all of Sri Aurobindo’s vision in how he describes the dance of cosmic evolution from matter to supramental, isn’t spiritualizing matter in a way and alchemy? Can Sri Aurobindo be called a supreme alchemist?
