"swallow up light" -This phrase reminds me of a passage frm #Satprem frm his book "On the Way to Supermanhood" & his "discovery" on the path of #SriAurobindo & Mother. Isn't the macrocosm a reflection of the microcosm?

It is indeed a resistance. Death is a resistance to the law of Truth, to the ever-renewed flow of Harmony. Deep down, we are founded on the "rock of the Inconscient" (Rig Veda #SriAurobindo ) the Vedic Rishis spoke of, the rock that is perhaps the 1st moment when the

cannot even be termed black b'coz there is not one spark of blackness there, not one glimmer that would permit one to call it black - it is the Blackness, absolute, w/o one breath, w/o one vibration of anything whatever: an instantaneous suffocation,a mortal stifling,

a world utterly still, utterly closed, as if strangled on itself, w/o a sound, w/o a movement, w/o an echo of anything whatsoever. An utter void, and yet like a black, asphyxiating existence, something that is in spite of everything - but is like a density of absolute

negation,a tremendous refusal which raises its walls of basalt & plunges like an abyss into an abyss, like a death into a death. To descend there is in fact like dying. It is death. It is the Inconscient. One cannot be there;one must not be there. It is like a supreme
