(pronounced "sci-y") by rjon on August 11, 2006 07:50AM (PDT) Our Purpose Vision: To consider emerging planetary science and culture in the light of Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga through mutually respectful dialogue, creative imagination, critical inquiry and non-dual epistemologies. Mission: To discern trends within contemporary arts, sciences and technologies which appear to facilitate (or not) the co-evolution of integral spirituality, scientific research and emerging planetary culture. Goals: To foster intra- and inter-community dialog among those who actively aspire to create a terrestrial environment which will advance an integral evolution of consciousness and thus a world of increasing truth, beauty and sustainable human unity. Who we are: The founders and core group of SCIY are engaged in the study and practice of Sri Aurobindo's "Integral Yoga," a non-sectarian spiritual path toward realizing "a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity."* - Our aspiration for SCIY is to foster inclusive scientific, cultural and spiritual research that serves this realization. We invite those who share this aspiration to join us. -------- * Quote from Sri Aurobindo's spiritual colleague, Mirra Alfassa (also known as "the Mother"), in her Charter for the Auroville universal township project being built near Pondicherry, India. _____________ "There are people who love adventure.

And we started an email forum to discuss some of these; and at this conference it is hoped that some of these objectives, issues, debates will come to surface in the minds of all the people here, and we take back with us something that fertilizes our lives and our sadhana, our yoga, our engagement with the world, our orientation towards the future.

We know the answer, because Sri Aurobindo has given us the answer, but we haven’t found the answer ourselves and we don’t really know how he got there, we missed the route. So when we are asked the question we are shy of giving the answer, because if anybody were to ask how we know it, then we have to admit kind of sheepishly that we have copied it from Sri Aurobindo. So that creates a kind of inner tension, because when we speak it is tempting to use the most beautiful words, but then that doesn’t work because when the experience isn’t there then the Truth doesn’t come through. ...
