SUPERMIND
OR
DIVINE
GNOSIS
(The
Self-Determining Infinite Consciousness)
From
the point of view of our ascent upwards this is the Truth-Consciousness as
distinguished from all below that belongs
to
the separative Ignorance.
|
OVERMIND
OR
MAYA
Overmind
takes all Truth that comes down to it from the Supermind, but sets up each Truth
as a separate force and idea capable of conificting with the others as well as
cooperating with them. Each overmental being has his own world, each force has
its own play and throws itself out to realise its own fulfilment in the cosmic
play. All is possible; and from this separative seat of conflicting and even
mutually negating possibilities comes too, as soon as mind, life and matter are
thrown out into play the possibility of ignorance, unconsciousness, falsehood,
death and suffering.
