Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time

Cyclic evolutionary time; the cosmic descent and ascent of Spirit.
Space
Sri Aurobindo
Non-local emergent; the planes of consciousness interpenetrate.
Matter
Sri Aurobindo
Emergent through the descent of Spirit; matter is the densest manifestation of consciousness.
Observer
Sri Aurobindo
Plural evolving souls; multiple time/space instances through planes of consciousness. Personal metaphysical agency: Sachchidananda.
Energy
Sri Aurobindo
Conserved cosmic shakti; reversible cosmic respiration.
Information
Sri Aurobindo
Personal soul conserved through evolution; eventual union with the supramental.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Aurobindo's claim to have inaugurated a supramental descent in 1956 has been a matter of devotional commitment for his followers and skepticism for outside observers. The Auroville experimental township has had a difficult institutional history. The reception of his integral-yoga programme in Western New Age and Wilberian "integral theory" has been substantial but doctrinally loose.
