If we observe closely, we can see and identify a slow, but steady growth of a new consciousness, a consciousness that transcends the egoistic bonds of self, family, tribe and community. This new consciousness sees a future for humanity that respects each individual and their social or religious background. This new consciousness works to bring about mutual benefit rather than egoistic fulfillment at the expense of others, and takes care of the needs of planetary health as a basis for long-term human survival.

This book is an exercise in comparative Philosophy,one that unpacks the mind of Sri Aurobindo in the context of Indian, European and Anglo-American philosophical discourse. It is of great relevance for a new generation of students, scholars of Indian philosophy, politics, religious studies and those interested in knowing the thought and practice of the twentieth-century Indian, thinker and yogi, Sri Aurobindo.

We see around us an ever-deepening crisis for humanity. We are out of balance with our own inner psychology, with our society, with our environment and with the other beings who share the earth. At the same time, more people are seeking solutions through yoga, through inner contemplation and meditation, and through concious inner growth and development. These are encouraging signs of the spiritual evolution of man in the subjective age. This book explores Sri Aurobindo's writings in The Human Cycle, the Psychology of Social Development, which holds relevance and insights for the world we live in today, while revealing our potential for restoring balance and establishing harmony.

If we observe closely, we can see and identify a slow, but steady growth of a new consciousness, a consciousness that transcends the egoistic bonds of self, family, tribe, community, city, state, nation, empire, religion, race, cultural background, or language. This new consciousness sees a future for humanity that respects each individual, each social or religious background, each tradition and which understands the need for diversity and difference for the very health of humanity in the long run. This new consciousness works to bring about mutual benefit rather than egoistic fulfillment at the expense of others, and takes care of the needs of planetary health as a basis for long-term human survival.

Santosh highlights key relevant points of Aurobindo's Essays on the Gita, explains them and reveals their depth and implications today. Each of his well-chosen selections and lucid comments constitutes a luminous doorway into the heart of the Gita.

The story of consciousness describes the mystery we are; where we come from before birth and where we go after death; and the thinking both in our body mind and subconscious and beyond it. It is the dimensions of rational awareness of mind and heart we use for our ego and creative life on earth, and in other dimensions around us. Imagine that you have an all-pervading higher intelligence within in your many layered consciousness. How we employ it for this dynamic life with love, and the ways it works, make you the self you are. Consciousness is an energy which comes into the brain of the embryo to activate the mind for this life; it functions at many levels. The level we call the heart is an influence emotionally with love and loving. Consciousness radiates, and the way it relates in us and beyond is the story of our lives. We can use this to great effect with certain techniques. We are alive in several levels of consciousness.

Heaven Is Not the Last Stop by Sheila Keene-Lund is the first book to attempt to reconcile the cutting edge of today's metaphysics, history, theology, and cosmology with the unprecedented teachings of The Urantia Book, a 2,097-page text claiming to be a planetary revelation. Keene-Lund addresses this formidable challenge in four sections: The first three address humanity's origin, history, and destiny; her fourth section builds upon the universal and inspiring worldview that results from her research, and offers readers an advanced framework for living a life of love and service.
