AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How does the concept of “Morphic Resonance” in Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga explain the idea that an individual’s inner work on their unique difficulties creates a “contagion” of Divine Possibility that aids others in similar states, and why is this Collective Transformation essential for the Yoga? 👥😊🙏🏻🌷🌻✨

I have a couple of queries – one on your recent talk on Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga & Sanatana Dharma (TE 686), and another on Meditation. And each one who works on his unique possibility and difficulty, in turn, helps everyone else who corresponds to that state or that element in Nature. Specifically, are we saying that when we work on our possibilities and difficulties, we act as ‘mirrors/lessons’ to others who are in the same state and help them understand the full Divine Possibility of that state? And why is this important? 

Referring to the above question: Question on the Recent Talk (TE 686), towards the end, you refer to Integral Yoga as being a Collective Yoga where: Each nature undergoing Transformation has a corresponding ripple effect on corresponding natures since each of us is connected to each other. It is about each individual taking up the burden of others as his Consciousness expands. Each one is supposed to embody some Divine possibility which is unique, and corresponding to that, there is a difficulty. 

Mirroring is one aspect of it. That is something that takes place anyways in life. But more appropriate will be the study on morphic fields (body fields) and morphogenetic resonance. Due to the internal subtle connecting links, and a collective memory, the events that take place in one has a tendency to spread fast into others. It is like a contagion. So each person who conquers or discovers something facilitates it in several others by a kind of horizontal transmission. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alokda, I have been reflecting on the following passage from The Synthesis of Yoga: “But neither is that order or the execution of the universal will altogether effected by mechanical Law, but by powers and forces of which for human life at least human will, aspiration and faith are not among the least important.” (page-566-567) 📖😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

This is absolutely correct understanding. Very simply put  the Divine Will is not a mechanical determinism but a living conscious process. It will fulfil itself is the first most important fact. But this fulfilment is not through an arbitrary disregarding of all other …
