This includes several levels of the subconscient: a mental subconscient, a vital subconscient, and a physical subconscient, down to the material Inconscient. The Outer Being includes the physical, vital and mental levels of Being, which characterises our everyday consciousness and experience. Sri Aurobindo discerns three types of being: the Outer being, the Inner being, and the Psychic Being. Integral yoga reunites "the infinite in the finite, the timeless in the temporal and the transcendent with the immanent. Success in this effort unifies the human individual with the universal and transcendental Existence. According to Sri Aurobindo, all life is Yoga, while Yoga as a sadhana is a methodised effort towards self-perfection, which brings to expression the latent, hidden potentialities of being. The goal of Integral yoga is to become aware of the Divine, to integrate the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves, and to manifest the Divine at earth. It is not a mechanistic or deterministic teleology, but a "manifestation of all the possibilities inherent in the total movement." The goal of integral yoga Evolution is teleological, since the developing entity contains within itself already the totality toward which it develops. Evolution follows a developmental trajectory from the original inconscience of matter into life, to mind, and then to spiritualized mind, culminating in The Supermind or Truth Consciousness. Through evolution Spirit rediscovered itself as Spirit. Ībove Mind proper lie various higher levels of Mind, which ascend toward Spirit. It modifies the internal and attempts to modify conformably the external existence of the being. Mental: an emerged consciousness reflecting fact of life in a mental sense, perceptive and ideative.Vital: an emerging consciousness, a consciousness half delivered out of its original imprisonment which has become of vital craving and satisfaction or repulsion.Material: a submerged consciousness concealed in its action and losing itself in the form.The lifeforms and substances are stretched out on a wide range, from physical matter to a pure form of spiritual being, akin to the five koshas or sheaths, where the subject becomes fully aware of itself as spirit: It is a manifold oneness, that generates an infinite variety of lifeforms and substances. Īccording to Aurobindo the world is a differentiated unity. The first manifestation of Spirit in the process of involution is as Satchitananda, and then as Supermind, the intermediate link between the higher (Spirit) and lower (matter, life, and mind) nature. Being manifests itself as a multiplicity of forms, meanwhile becoming lost in the inconscience of matter. Involution is the extension of Spirit, the Absolute, to create a universe of separate forms.
