"What the modern spirit has sought for is the economic social ultimate, - an ideal material organization of civilisation and comfort - , the use of reason and science and education for the generalisation of a utilitarian rationality which will make the individual a perfect social being in a perfected economic society".
"A rational and scientific formula of the vitalistic and materialistic human being and its life, a search for a perfected economic society and the democratic cultus of the average man are all that the modern mind presents us in this crisis as a light for its solution", (Sri Aurobindo, Life Divine II,28)

Our modern culture is based on the principle of concurrence . Man has inherited this behaviour from the animal kingdom where it is a neccessity to survive. We see the limitations of this system - which has no moral at all - today : There is growingly less win because of concurrence, people loose their jobs and so moral is degrading. Only a certain rich class benefits from these developements.

In the underdeveloped countries people mostly have to work under incredible conditions and earn just as much as to survive.
A society without ethic rules is the basis for irresponsibleness and consciencelotness. On the other hand tolerance and moral have never been a principle of very simple or of primitive people who love the primitive things of live, independent of their position in society.
The forces of the animal-kingdom are still an important and omnipresent factor in daily life, and man must first leave these roots behind himself before true relationships are possible.

Modern wars have their battlefields within the societies, the manyfolded battles for position and power, for posession and wealth and for the most attractive partner, the points of attraction for the small human ego.
A worldly socialism can not really change these problems, because his basis would be the too human nature with its self-assertion and the various vital and negative forces.
First through the true broad realization of universal religious principles and methods mankind will be able to elevate above the animal kingdom and learn to transform the primitive human nature.
First through the selfrealisation of higher and of universal religious principles man really raises above the animal kingdom and learns to transform himself.
The opposite of the principle of concurrence is the principle of solidarity(to use a modern name), which must be a basis of every big and long lasting society. The highest form of this principle would be the "charity" of the bible. This principle has been interpreted in the past because it is too high for the current human nature and a problem for worldly religions. In the eastern spirituality it is not so open known because the systems of yoga are mostly a kind of sublte spiritual egoism(work for the karma). In buddhism we know a similar wish to resolve all beings.
In the origins of christianity and in the old bible it was a central point. But Jesus said clearly : "My next one is who fulfills the will of the divine father", ie. who does not live in the will of his small human ego, and he and the Bible say : "Next love is equivalent to the fulfilment of the ten commandments" - and not only with the fulfilment the after the letter.

The roots of the modern global culture are the vital forces of the lower nature, of samsara, and seeing this our culture tries to whitewash its primitive roots and the perishableness through technical innovations and styling and luxury, and to make the happy consumers blind and satisfied and tame, all that on the costs of a plundered nature and of the poor nations.
Many people beleive simpleminded that man now controls the highly complex nature, because science has learned to use many laws of the material surface and made unbeleivable technical insights possible. But besides many temporary successes the results of techniqs were too often the destruction of environment and the loss of the biological balances and overexploitation of the natural resources - internally and externally. Our culture learns to control the outer forms and mostly fills them with old or laughable and exaggerated contents, often only seeking for a gap in the market which allows to survive.

A worldly socialism can not really change these problems, because his basis would be the too human nature. Similar problems have the democracies with their lack of inner values and free play of forces.
The worldwide overpopulation is only one indicator. First through the real common realization of universal religious principles mankind will be able to raise above the animal kingdom and learn to transform the primitive human nature.
Inwardly man becomes more and more the concurrent of the other - but he has learned to smile and to play his role in society. So lie and falsehood have become a daily companion.

Another modern problem is the international interlacing of world-economy. The poor countrys mostly serve as supplier of cheap raw materials for the industralised countries who would not be able to have this standard of life without such cheap fountains. Their societies have often become a caricture of a modern society just serving as a inexpensive supplier of work and industrial products and as markets for the industry-nations, suppliers who cannot pay their interest and are highly indebted.
The result is a chaos, in which all received values were overthrown and all firm ground seems to disappear from its social organisation, its conduct and its culture.

"The first danger is a resurgence of the old vital and material primitive barbarian in a civilised form; the means Science has put at our disposal eliminates the peril of the subversion and destruction of an effete civilisation by stronger primitive peoples, but it is the resurgence of the barbarian in ourselves, in civilised man, that is the peril, and this we see all around us.
For that is bound to come if there is no high and strenous mental and moral controlling and uplifting the vital and physical man in us and no spiritual ideal liberating him from himself into his inner being. Even if this relapse is escaped, there is another danger, - for a cessation of the evolutionary urge, a crystallisation into a stable comfortable mechanised social living without ideal or outlook is another possibl outcome. Reason by itself cannot maintain the race in its progress; it can do so only if it is a mediator between the life and the body and something higher and greater within him; for it is the inner spiritual necessity, the push fom what is there yet unrealised within him that maintains in him, once he has attained to mind, the evolutionary stress, the spiritual nisus."
(Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine, II pg.1053)

As result of the modern ignorant way of life mankind sinks more and more in the forces of the body and closes the doors to the forces of evolution.

Real cultural life needs at least the well known but insufficient four freedoms as A.A. Baileys new WGW stated over 50 years ago - but it must be seen that the support of her White Brothership is an illusion, and so the WGW had no real success :
1 Freedom of personal deveolpement
2 Freedom of religion
3 Freedom of need
4 Freedom of fear

Morality and Nature-Law are in reality the same, based on the principle of divine harmony, a harmony which does not develop with the observance of the rules and ethics of a specific religious movement. Only a spiritual harmony can prevent the chaos which can only be reached by spiritual developement.

Nowadays freedom is often misunderstood as complete unboundedness, as "to do what one wants", but such a view forgets the retroactions of all deeds in the area of karma. Absolute freedom would mean the disentanglement from everything inclusive the limitations of the small person.
Real freedom would presume a free will. In the divine the will is the revelation of the highest infinite divine force, and power and plan are in unity. Because of the omnipotence the result of the plan is perfect, but because of the omnipotence this willpower is absolute irrespective.
The acting human ego-centered or selfcentered will has its origin in the reaction of challenges in the material world, on wishes and desires, which actuate the will.
The success of the effort depends upon many unclear factors. Often this will undertakes false or fruitless efforts in direction of the target and the achievement of the aim is unsure.
Even the highly developed ego-centered(Ahamkara) mental volition(Mahat) is still a product of Maya, and therefore the true "white magician" surrenders to the plans of the divine.
First trough identification with the spiritual willpower true freedom can be reached, which leaves behind the small ego and the personality. But in the hidden background of the spiritual will stands the light of the divine providence, First the enlightened master in his unity sees that behind success and failure stands the divine plan and the acting of the divine providence - which cannot be escaped.

Even the human rights mostly just stand on paper worldwide, everything has its own price, and therefore our culture has a doubtful future .

Master Sri Aurobindo ("The Mother") said : "Modern man is an asura; the asuras understand only the language of fight", and further on : "Might, wealth and sexuality are the most attractive things for the human EGO".

"We must replace competition and strife by collaboration and fraternity." - The Mother(Aurobiondo)

The average man is completely unsensitive for spirituality, and he follows the rules of his unconscious nature. The simple rule is : "Where the STREAM does not flow exists no hunger for the stream".

"The Individual does not owe highest loyalty to the state which is a machine, nor to the community which is only a part of life and not the whole life. His obligation is to the truth, the self, the spirit, the divine in himself and in all.
His real life goal should not consist in subordination to the mass or to lose in the mass, but to find and to express the truth of being in itself, and to help the community of humanity to find their own truth and fullness of being", (Sri Aurobindo)

Therefore it is advisable for the true seeker to live after the old traditional hermetic principle of "KNOWING-DARING-WILLING-RETICENCE", a bit like in the middle-ages, because we have to live in a modern intolerant and often very negative world ! The purpose of the reconnaissance was once to see things with the reason and not to beleive in vague and strange explanations, but modern reason is based on models and notions and ideas with their limitations. The majority of people is not enough intelligent to understand these scientific developements, despite from the limitations of modern science, and they would not live after the realizations because they are bound to the zigzag course of their vital nature.

Some readers may argue that these thoughts about psychology and society are not necessary for the understanding of the spiritual process. But we are a part of this world, and we are causing karma for other people in daily life and we are still working at our own personal karma.
I have not disclosed the Universal Path here for people who just want to draw the biggest advantage out of all things or those who do not want to applicate INTROSPECTION in practice or who do not want to surrender to the divine rules and forces.
This website has been written for the people of true good will, ie. for true spiritual seekers !
The spiritual path is not a hobby or an intersting exotic entertainment. You must be able to fight and You must know what You really want. The ASPIRATION must be a flame and You must be willing to surrender to he higher spiritual rules and to Your inner divine self.

is the means of the WGW to connect with those forces of the hierarchy which are thought to bring a big change .... but what comes really from there !

From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let Light stream forth into the minds of men . Let light descend on Earth .
