It served to provide the contained field, a delimited space where the poisonous fumes that were destined to arise from the acceleration of time could be contained, absorbed. This is the meaning of the Churning of the Ocean myth: Time, thus accelerated, gives off wastes; and these must be ‘consumed’ or ‘absorbed’ for the Earth. Until a new balance is reached, the forward drive is not yet in harmony with the alignment of consciousness of the species. More particularly, the new creation, which is to establish this new alignment, is just nearing the point where it can effect that harmonisation so as to avoid a global catastrophe. A signal of this overpowering imbalance due to acceleration is reflected in the ecological crisis the Earth faces. The accumulation of wastes affects all levels of being, down to the physical. On that level too, nothing will effectively change until the consciousness of the species secures this new alignment and balance.
          The fact that Auroville is the contained field to consume the waste of acceleration does not mean that there are no repercussions beyond when the temple’s measurements are not ‘perfect’, as the Mahamaya exhorts. When imperfect there will be repercussions on whatever is represented in the temple by the application of the Laws of Equivalence and Correspondence. We can demonstrate factually how this works in the Mother’s temple, and in the process reveal the area covered by the Mother’s Vision through these ancient formulations.
          Thus, as discussed in CIC 8, the translucent Globe measures 70cm diameter, which, by the Laws of Correspondence and Equivalence, encompass the total landmass of India as delineated by the nation’s astrological ruler, Capricorn. There has to be consistency in the Knowledge. We have seen how this zodiacal sign and its ruler, Saturn, are manifest throughout the temple. There cannot be a hodgepodge – something plucked from this school, something from another; or else one symbol, then another, and nothing linking the two. Consistency is the keyword. The Mother’s Vision has demonstrated an impeccable consistency: from whichever angle we approach the Knowledge we find the same unity of substance. This is the hallmark of a great revelation of Gnosis. In this Chronicle we will unveil even more astonishing proof of the Mother’s consistency and genius, citing her own words in describing her activities as the Supramental Shakti.
          In the Auroville Matrimandir the only consistency we find is the consistent lack of any higher content; added to this is the unfortunate fact that the building now standing at the heart of a township purported to be a creation of the Mother’s and the cradle of the Superman, bearing Sri Aurobindo’s name, consistently denies all that the Mother sought to capture in the temple. The Auroville Matrimandir is exactly what the community, the builders, the architects and the governing bodies desired it to be: no knowledge, no higher function and purpose, no truth-conscious unity. In fact, in the language of gnostic symbols, the Auroville Matrimandir is, as reported in CIC 8, a hymn to the Dark Lord.
          However, this is not a condition limited to Auroville. We find a woeful incompletion stamped on all the remaining parts of the Mother’s work; and if we have discussed the infirmities affecting Auroville in these Chronicles, we have to include the Ashram in our assessment because the two cannot be separated, though we might like to do so. The Mother’s decision to set the township on its way was not born of any mental formula. Like the moment when she redesigned Sri Aurobindo’s symbol, this too corresponded to a special threshold having been crossed in the destiny of the Supramental Manifestation. It was the time to extend the field (the Ashram) because that destiny had matured and the former laboratory could not support the new processes of Yoga that were to follow. This does not mean that the old field would cease to have relevance; it simply means that what it stood for could only find fulfilment when that extension had manifested in perfect synchronicity with Gnostic Time.
