  Mother, Sri Aurobindo says here: Whether the whole of humanity would be touched [by the Supramental influence] or only a part of it ready for the change would depend on what was intended or possible in the continued order of the universe.

  The Supramental Manifestation, SABCL, Vol. 16, p. 56

What is meant by what was intended or possible? The two things are different. So far you have said that if humanity changes, if it wants to participate in the new birth

It is the same thing. But when you look at an object on a certain plane, you see it horizontally, and when you look at the same object from another plane, you see it vertically. (Mother shows the cover and the back of her book.) So, if one looks from above, one says intended; if one looks from below, one says possible. But it is absolutely the same thing, only the point of view is different.

But in that case, it is not our incapacity or lack of will to change that makes any difference.

We have already said this many a time. If you remain in a consciousness which functions mentally, even if it is the highest mind, you have the notion of an absolute determinism of cause and effect and feel that things are what they are because they are what they are and cannot be otherwise.

It is only when you come out of the mental consciousness completely and enter a higher perception of thingswhich you may call spiritual or divine that you suddenly find yourself in a state of perfect freedom where everything is possible.

(Silence)

Those who have contacted that state or lived in it, even if only for a moment, try to describe it as a feeling of an absolute Will in action, which immediately gives to the human mentality the feeling of being arbitrary. And because of that distortion there arises the ideawhich I might call traditionalof a supreme and arbitrary God, which is something most unacceptable to every enlightened mind. I suppose that this experience badly expressed is at the origin of this notion. And in fact it is incorrect to express it as an absolute Will: it is very, very, very different. It is something else altogether. For, what man understands by Will is a decision that is taken and carried out. We are obliged to use the word will, but in its truth the Will acting in the universe is neither a choice nor a decision that is taken. What seems to me the closest expression is vision. Things are because they are seen. But of course seen, not seen as we see with these eyes. (Mother touches her eyes) All the same, it is the nearest thing. It is a visiona vision unfolding itself.

The universe becomes objective as it is progressively seen.

And that is why Sri Aurobindo has said intended or possible. It is neither one nor the other. All that can be said is a distortion.

(Silence)

Objectivisationuniversal objectivisationis something like a projection in space and time, like a living image of what is from all eternity. And as the image is gradually projected on the screen of time and space, it becomes objective:

The Supreme contemplating His own Image.
