Sri Aurobindo, The Mother Site
Sri Aurobindo was the Indian sage and seer who developed an extraordinary visionary philosophy about the course of the future evolution of humanity, synthesizing the deepest insight of the East with the modern evolutionary thinking of the West. Many of the concepts of Growth Online come from his insights, as well as those of his philosophical disciples. In that light, we have developed a companion site that describes in great depth his Sri Aurobindo's life, his rich spiritual philosophy and insights, and his methods for individual progress and evolution. Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively on such subjects as the origins and process of creation of the universe; the nature of matter, life, and mind; the origins and nature of consciousness; and the methods of connecting with spirit in life. His goal was to show humanity the way out of suffering, duality, and strife, and the way to a new spirit-based, divine life on earth. In addition, he wrote extensively on social evolution, human unity, the future literature and poetry, and many other subjects. His titanic intellect and intuitive insight has led many to believe that he was the greatest thinker and seer of the last hundred years. In addition, the site reveals the details of the astonishing life and influence of Sri Aurobindo's spiritual companion, The Mother.

Mother's Service Society
We should also mention the groundbreaking work of the Mother's Service Society. MSS has spent most of the last 30 years interpreting the works of Sri Aurobindo and applying his principles to such fields of life as economic development, business management, education, science, and literary criticism, amongst others. Their pioneering interpretations of Sri Aurobindo's principles in these, and their revolutionary insights into personal, business, social, and spiritual growth and development has been the essential foundation of all of the content of Growth Online.

THE MIRACULOUS PHENOMENON OF "LIFE RESPONSE"
"Life Response" is the way life suddenly, abundantly, and miraculously responds positively on the outside to a corresponding change of your consciousness inside, apparently defying notions of cause and effect, and space and time. E.g. you change an attitude and suddenly a moment later someone who you never knew before contacts you from half way round the world with news of a new job position, of monetary gain, or other success for you. We can learn to invoke such response from life all of the time, enabling vast accomplishment, success, and happiness in our lives. Learn More

THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION
 In this extended article we trace the course of human evolution; including our makeup, our current status, and our evolutionary possibility. First, we will discover the principles of consciousness that have emerged since the birth of the universe. Then we will discuss the makeup of the individual human being. There we will discover that the makeup of the individual human consists of planes that closely parallel the original principles of the universe. Then we will more closely examine these planes of the person, breaking them down into their more subtle sub-components. Finally, we will discuss how an individual human grows, develop, and evolve amongst these levels; and we will address the issue of where humanity is headed in the future. Along the way we will also introduce the spiritual planes of life for the individual; the key to his ultimate progress, accomplishment, fulfillment, and joy in life.

DISCOVERING THE SPIRIT WITHIN
In this extended interview Roy Posner, president of Growth Online, discusses how we can find the spirit within us to enable infinite delight as well as infinite accomplishment and success in life.

INNER-OUTER CORRESPONDENCE
"What we experience on the outside is a direct reflection of what we are inside. I.e. there is a correspondence between our inner psychological condition -- including our habits, wants, feelings, attitudes, opinions, and beliefs -- and how the world takes shape outside ourselves. This would suggest that if we were shift to a more positive psychological condition inside, life on the outside would instantly respond positively in kind."  Learn More

THE HIDDEN PATTERNS OF LIFE
"There are subtle patterns of life that go unnoticed, and which defy our normal perceptions of logic, cause and effect, and space and time. Understanding these hidden patterns not only enables us to see the world in a different way, but gives us the insight to perceive the truth that is unfolding around us, which can lead to right decisions that ends in right actions (or non-action) and vastly successful outcomes. In other words, perceiving the subtle workings of life can lead to great accomplishment, success, and happiness in life."  Continue

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENA IN LIFE
In this lengthy Growth Online interview Roy Posner, president of Growth Online, discusses a number of extraordinary phenomena in life that normally go unnoticed.

We believe you will be astonished by the information contained here!

SEEING BEYOND THE CONTRADICTIONS OF LIFE
"From a deeper consciousness, the divisions and dualities, the contradictions of life, the conflicting pairs and elements appear quite differently than when we live at the superficial surface. From a deeper poise, we perceive that things that are in opposition on the surface actually form complementary relationships and purposes at the depths. There we perceive that the two sides of any pair – night and day, good and bad, pleasure and pain, etc. -- are not in opposition with one another, but actually form an inextricable unity of purpose."
