But Sri Aurobindo and Mirra suggested another, far more magnificent, but also far more difficult, alternative. Rather than go from Here (this world) to There (Nirvana, the Absolute), why not bring There down Here? In other words, why not draw the Divine or Absolute Consciousness - what Sri Aurobindo calls the "Supermind" or "Supramental" because it is totally beyond mind and mental activity - down into this world, into this gross physical world of matter, into one's physical body (the individual centre of inconscience), and by doing so transform, perfect, and Divinise it.
The result would be the "glorified body", the Supramental Body, the Divinised Body, the Perfected Body free of illness and imperfection. With this there would be the elimination of ignorance and negativity. Suffering would be replaced by Divine Harmony.
...While Rudolph Steiner defines the Christ in us as our Higher Self, who draws flashes of spiritual light down to the Earth body...
The Jesuit philosopher Teilhard de Chardin, perhaps the most popular thinker in the New Paradigm movement, spoke of evolution towards "the Omega Point"; the state of planetary Christ-consciousness, when all human minds are united with each other and with the Christ, while still at the same time retaining their diversity. While in "New Age" thought itself there is a tremendous amount of enthusiastic mythology about planetary transformation, transmutation of the body and the DNA gene structure, "a raising of the vibratory level", and so on, including frequent quoting of the Revelation of John's reference to "a new heaven and a new earth".
