The horizontal is the space
measure, while the vertical is the time measure. This is
confirmed by the Knowledge in that the time factor and its relevant
equations or formulas are found in the vertical shaft of Light, the
descending Ray playing upon the Globe. From these Chronicles we also
know that in time the Globe ‘contains’ the measure (days) of
the Festival of Light – i.e., the December Solstice from 21-22 December
to 5 January. From that point to the end of the year there are an exact
360 days, the degrees of a circle. Therefore, the first five days of
the year which close the Festival and have been considered ‘out of the
calendar’; are the most sacred days of the Festival of Light, its
culmination in fact – they are thus the five degrees/days of the
Chamber.
We note that
the complete period of the Festival of Light is 15 days –
and this reveals again the importance of our 9+6=15 Shruti and the
15-step entry into the Chamber, as described in Chronicle 3. That the
Globe contains this number of days is another wonder of the
Mother’s Vision; while 15cm of that luminous 70cm Globe which is
representative of all that the Festival of Light stands for, are in
turn ‘hidden’ in the Pedestal.
Let us
penetrate more deeply into the significance of the Festival of
Light and the process carried out in these Chronicles, for 9 have been
completed so far. These 9 tones or notes (or Chronicles) are time’s
pulsation, similar to the 9 pulsations of our Sun in an Earth day of 24
hours (one pulsation every 2 hours and 40 minutes). Each ‘tone’ has
contributed its particular resonance to the process MAC is developing
through these Chronicles; each one represented a ‘peeling off’ of the
veils covering the true Vision, those obscuring veils that have
withheld the Mother’s light from sincere seekers. But once the 9
‘tones’ are struck – in this case the 9 Chronicles – something
important, fundamental occurs. The true seeker of the Supramental Light
experiences the fullest extent of an inward thrust: contraction
has reached its extreme and compels this plunge. Carried into those
innermost, deepest recesses of Being by a supreme concentration of
power – just as the Mother anticipated her chamber would induce – the
aspirant finds the sacred passageway by which the 9 becomes the 10.
It is
at this point that the power of contraction (9 or the vertical time
measure) whips the consciousness around itself and what has been
contracting in the vertical is joined to the horizontal at the 10th
level of space. In the passage of the year this would be
the 10th month of Capricorn (the count starts with Aries,
the first sign, at the March Equinox). In this manner, by living the
experience within our very own beings, the 9 has become the 10 and time
and space are integrated. This is the operation that the Core of the
Mother’s Vision describes and for which reason it ‘contains’ the 15
days of the Festival of Light since it is in that particular period of
the 12-month year that this fundamental reversal takes place and one is
allowed access to a dimension otherwise sealed off like a great
pyramid of impenetrable stone.
This is the
hidden message in the 15 step rise into the Chamber from
below, which corresponds perfectly with the entrance into the Great
Pyramid (see CIC 6), as well as the initiation of the Festival of
Light: the 9 becomes the 10.
We have
revealed in these passages the profound significance of
Bhisma’s choice of the December Solstice for his passing, or the
shortest day of the year. No other day would allow access to that
sacred dimension through the severe contraction that is death. It is a
passage that must be undertaken consciously, similar to Sri Aurobindo’s
own passing, when he too lived the process of the 9 becoming the
10. We have been told that Sri Aurobindo periodically came out
of his ‘coma’, to ask the time. Clearly the right moment had to be
honoured for a conscious passage. As the 9th of the
Dasavatars, he returned in a direct line of time as the 10th, thus confirming a tradition of many thousands
of years: the 9 becomes the 10.
