Thus, is it a coincidence that this figure, thought to be so utterly incomprehensible, should actually be conveying this simple message of the Age of her construction (Lion/Leo) and the Age of her unveiling (Man/Aquarius), our very own times?
           - Is it a coincidence that the Mother redesigned Sri Aurobindo’s symbol just six months after his own physical form had been remade? (CIC 6, 7, 10)
           - Is it a coincidence that the new symbol conforms to the dimensions of the Great Pyramid at Giza, before which stands the Sphinx? (CIC, ibid)
           - Is it a coincidence that her Temple-Vision should ‘contain’ this Pyramid and Sri Aurobindo’s symbol with unparalleled precision, that same precision employed to build the Great Pyramid itself so many thousand of years ago? (CIC ibid)
           - Is it a coincidence that there should be an exact correspondence between the entries to both the Great Pyramid and the Mother’s Temple of her original vision by a 15-step entry rising into her chamber? (CIC 3)
           - Is it a coincidence that the Mother should have described her work with number-powers in exactly the same manner as the organisation of the Solar and Lunar Lines in the Supramental Manifestation? (CIC 9)
            - Is it a coincidence that the Mother saw the ‘strange being’ Sri Aurobindo sent to announce something in exactly the figures of the two signs of his birth and rebirth?
           The usurpers would like us to believe that coincidences will just be coincidences and that they abound if one starts looking for them. Indeed, without a gnostic initiation these and many more are ‘just coincidences’. That is, they have no sense and above all no connected sense; they are random happenings that tell us nothing, much less are they the pregnant repositories of any supramental gnosis.
           The Mother was an accomplished adept in the language of gnostic symbolism which Supermind employs. Her own symbol is an exact display of the structure of that language – and we find it to be the same as the Sphinx and other such monuments that ancient traditions have left behind. There are 12 outer petals, the 12 signs of the zodiac; 4 inner petals, the four elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water – and they are positioned in such a way as to point to the four of Vishnu’s own signs, those of the classical sphinx; there are 3 concentric circles which are the 3 gunas or qualities, rajas, sattva, tamas, or Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable, as they are commonly known in astrological lore.
           - Is it a coincidence that this very symbol was employed by her as the basic plan of her Inner Chamber? By this means the temple is the world, and it is the cosmos as well. But there is far more to these symbols and structures than we have discussed so far. 

Egypt and India on the Axis of Time
The builders of the Auroville Matrimandir were unable to follow the Mother into the world of a new and higher precision. She spoke of this newness on several occasions prior to her vision of the inner chamber and it was with that seeing that the work was completed. Above all, its accompanying plan and the relevant corrective discussions that followed carry us into a world entirely unknown to science of any branch. It was known 12,000 years ago and during the intervening millennia India has stood as the sole nation in the world that seeks to preserve at least a part of that tradition. India was preserving a knowledge that would be resuscitated down the line of time exactly as it was known in those remote ages. India would play out the mystery of the Sphinx together with Egypt. And the Mother’s inner chamber would be central to it all.
