In the present situation, the whole world is facing all kinds of crisis. It may be economic, social, and political. Everywhere is darkness. People are loosing hope in future life. Where we are going? To find the answer to this question we arrived at one conversation of The Mother. It runs like this. Question asked to The Mother: In 1919 Sri Aurobindo wrote that the chaos and the calamities were perhaps the pangs of the birth of a new creation. How long is this going to continue? In the Ashram, in India and eventually in the world? Answer of The Mother: It will continue until the world is ready and willing to receive the new creation; the consciousness of this new creation is already at work upon earth since the beginning of this year**. If instead of resisting, people were collaborating, it would be quicker. But stupidity and ignorance are very obstinate! 29 November 1969 **This year means 1969. The Mother had an experience on 1 January 1969. Later on about the descent Mother identified it as the descent of superman consciousness on earth. The Mother told that the new consciousness manifested upon earth on 1 January 1969. (la conscience du surhomme). She explained, “ …..It is the descent of the superman consciousness. I had the assurance later on. It was the first of January after midnight. I woke up at two in the morning, surrounded by a consciousness, so concrete, and new in the sense that I had never felt it before. And it lasted, absolutely concrete, present, for two or three hours, and afterwards it spread out and went about to find people who could receive it. And I knew that it was the consciousness of the superman, that is to say, the intermediary between man and the supramental being. That has given to the body a kind of assurance and confidence. That experience has, as it were, stabilised the body and if it keeps the true attitude, every support is there to help it.”*******************************
“There is only one new fact − from the beginning of this year a new consciousness has manifested and is working energetically to prepare the earth for the new creation.”17 April 1969

It is a wonderful opportunity in front of us to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the descent of Superman Consciousness on January 1 2009. Let us prepare ourselves for this occasion and be renewed once again. We should utilize the opportunity for that grand purpose.CWM, Vol 15, p. 114-115
