as the progressive incarnation of a divine perfection. Death is a mockery, and the Work aims at physical immortality through an enlightenment of physical matter. To the Jnanis, on the other hand, incarnated life is a fatal mistake. Actually to the Jnanis the whole universe is a mistake, a sort of transient, foul and nauseating emanation. And the only purpose of life is to take a one-way ticket out of it as quickly as possible.
Sri Aurobindo was universally acclaimed in India as one of the most enlightened yogis of all time. But do not think that the Jnanis are shallow. A jnana-yogi such as Nisargadatta Maharaj, to take a recent example, has deeply impressed his generation, East and West, by the immensity of his states of consciousness.
There is no easy way around this fact: depending on where you are looking from, you see the universe and its finality completely differently. Please ponder upon this, for it seems to me one of the best antidotes for dogma. Whatever your views are, don't make them a prison. Always leave space to change your mind and your system of the world.
To the people who wish to engage in the Clairvision style of work, I particularly recommend two main bodies of writings: those of the Gnostics, and those of Rudolf Steiner. The reasons for this choice are that they both arose from vast enlightenments, they are full of wisdom and practical information regarding the path of inner alchemy and the western esoteric tradition, and last but not least... they are totally irreconcilable on a number of key points! If you want to operate with the two systems, you have no choice but to remain relative as to the value of mental conceptions.
Once more, it is not what you believe or what you have read that will change your spiritual life, it is what you can experience directly. Hence the work suggested in this book, which aims at giving you the capacity to tune in and reach your own perception of spiritual worlds.
