Contemplating a passage from Sri Aurobindo's "The Future Evolution of Man"
"What is necessary is that there should be a turn in humanity felt by some or many towards the vision of this change, a feeling of its imperative need, the sense of its possibility, the will to make it possible in themselves and to find the way."
Writing about a radical transformation of human nature as indispensable if humanity is to survive, Aurobindo noted that what is necessary is that the turn towards its vision be felt by some or many. In my experience of meeting people, those who feel that turn are more and more numerous.
Two other conditions, the sense of a possibility for such a transformation in the world and the will to make it possible in ourselves, are co-arising.
The more I'm willing to transform myself in every moment, through suspend –> re-direct –> let go, the more alive it becomes the sense of a possibility for such a transformation in the world. The more that sense is alive and becomes visible in the world, the more of us gets touched and inspired by it to transform ourselves.
I hear the last four words of the sentence, [the will] "to find the way," as a call to manifest consciousness in form, by equipping ourselves with the skillful means needed to ally with the evolutionary impulse, in transforming the world.
It seems that the necessary conditions for the Big Shift to occur is concurrent cultivation of three ancient yogas, the Yoga of Consciousness, Compassion, and Competence, by a large enough number of practitioners. What is the critical number? Join their ranks and life will tell us...
