I just posted a portion of Chap. 5 of "Trialogues at the Edge of the West" which I think may relate to this fascinating discussion. My hope is that some of the new theories now surfacing in contemporary science may provide added perspective on the wisdom presented both in traditional Hindu and Buddhist texts and in Sri Aurobindo's more recent writings. For example, the initial section of Chap. 5, "Light and Vision" that I quote below raises some interesting ideas about the possible relationship between light, perception, mind and consciousness.

I also hope that the new theories will take care of this mystic-spiritual perspective possessing a truth of the spirit which, after all, is spreading itelf in manifestation. RYD
