About this episode

In episode 27, we met Dr. Sangeeta Sahi and discussed her innovative approaches to integrative health and wholeness, focusing on the individual. In this episode we extend the scope of the conversation to social, cultural and cosmic perspectives of integral evolution and spirituality. Sangeeta shares a visionary yogic experience by Mirra Alfassa, known as the Mother to devotees of Integral Yoga, of a supramental ship which comes to earth to expedite the evolutionary process of the spiritualization of material substance. Inspired by this, Sangeeta has organized a conference called the Mothership Summit, which is an experiment in designing a new planetary narrative, and will be featuring world leading scholars in integral theory and evolutionary spirituality. We collectively discuss themes to be covered in this summit and focus in on the importance of spiritual technologies of cultivating yogic equanimity, acceptance, receptivity and sincerity. Rather than being a passive vessel of divinity, we discuss the narrative of becoming an active participant and co-creator in the emergence of a supramental evolution and divinization of the earth and world.
