That is to say, the universal movement is like that … certain individuals, who are the pioneers, the vanguard, through inner effort and inner progress enter into communication with the new Force which is to manifest and receive it into themselves. And then, as there are calls of this kind, the thing is made possible, and the age, the time, the moment of manifestation comes. This is how it happened — and the Manifestation took place.
(CWM 8, p. 133)
Considering the level of our spiritual growth at present, obviously it will take thousands of years before the new race can be visibly effective amongst humanity. What do we do now? We have seen the descent of the Supermind on 5th December 1950; we have known about the manifestation of the Supermind on 29th February 1956; and we have seen that even after fifty years of its manifestation, humanity is not yet prepared. The question is if it has to become relevant and active upon earth what should we do? What can we do? Can we do something at all? What do we do to prepare ourselves to receive the supramental consciousness? These are some of the oft-asked questions.
What we have to understand is: “it is not man who is going to change himself into superman … it is something else which is going to work.” (CWM 8, p. 131). If so, the best thing that we can do is to collaborate in the advent of the new race. “That is to say [says the Mother], “he can lend himself to the process, with goodwill, with aspiration, and help as best as he can.” (CWM 8, p. 131)
Effect on the Collective Levels
On the collective level there will be consequences which will lend to eliminate in an opposite way what the intervention of the mind in life has created: the perversion, the ugliness, the whole mass of the distortions which has increased suffering, misery and moral poverty. That part of humanity, of the human consciousness, those human beings, may they be anywhere in the world who are capable of uniting with the Supermind and liberating themselves will be completely transformed. The part which is closest to nature, to animal simplicity, will be reabsorbed in Nature and thoroughly assimilated. But the corrupted part of human consciousness which allows perversion through its misuse of mind will be abolished, so all the corruption, all the violence, all that is coming up is not going to last. That whole section of humanity will be abolished.
So a true pralaya will take place — a pralaya of the cleansing of the perverted and the corrupted humanity, abolition of that which is not ready for the future, that which belongs to the corrupted old will be destroyed in the current crisis. So it is not the pralaya of the entire human race; there will be a kind of sieving of that which belongs to the future and that which does not belong to the future; those who refuse to progress will automatically loose the use of the mental consciousness and will fall back to a sub-human level. This type of humanity is part of the unfruitful attempt which must be eliminated just as there have been other species which have disappeared in the course of universal history. Nature is quite clear that all those who do not and cannot and will not progress spiritually will be thrown out of Nature as a failed species. In fact this is what has been happening in the last fifty years in the world history — a demolition of the old.
Supramental Flooding in the Last Fifty Years
The invasion of the supramental light and consciousness, in 1950, was more like a reconnaissance invasion, and then in 1956, the shutters of the dam separating the supramental light and consciousness were lifted up and since then there has been a flooding of the forces of light upon earth and men. If Prometheus had brought fire from the gods and gave it to mankind, bringing it a new hope,
