Jung’s Psychology of the Living God and Transformation of Individual and Community: Part III—by David Johnston
In Part III I interpret Jung’s later visions and dreams and his most complete description of the Self in light of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s teachings on Integral Yoga, with special reference to Overmind and Supermind consciousness. I compare and contrast Jung’s experiences and writings with the goal of becoming one with the Transcendent non-dual Reality accompanied by ego dissolution. Jung’s psychology of individuation requires a creative engagement with the world and not seeking or attaining the Transcendent non-dual Reality per se. The goal of individuation, rather, demands full consciousness of spiritual experiences and not dissolution of the ego. I argue that Jung’s later visions and dreams are most likely experiences of what Sri Aurobindo and the Mother referred to as Overmind consciousness, although their high numinosity and comprehensiveness opens up the possibility of him having touched the Supermind, at least intuitively, His latest and most complete description of the Self, fourfold in structure and differentiated at four levels of being supports the Supermind hypothesis. Jung’s last dream-vision is an indication that Jung had won through to individualized global consciousness and attained completed individuation. An important caveat to this essay is that it is written as no more than a contribution to a hypothesis on the nature of Jung’s experiences and the level of consciousness he attained, and nothing more.
Why there was no freedom movement based on Hindu nationalism ... By sanjay choudhry
In any other society, a freedom movement based on the assertiveness of native ethos and culture against a hostile invader would have been the most natural outcome of being ruled forcefully by a predatory and brutal colonial power… Did Hedgewar make a blunder by rejecting offers to integrate RSS with the Hindu Mahasabha in political work for national independence and for the safeguarding of Hindu interests?... Seeing this, Aurobindo derisively remarked that “Hindus have lost the capability to think.” The all-India volunteer network of the RSS allied with the political vision of Hindu Mahasabha would have resulted in a powerful movement of Hindu nationalists who wanted to rule the land. It could have counter-balanced Jinnah’s Muslim separatism and offered Indian revolutionaries an alternative to Marxism.

Articles-Dealing with Crisis Emotional Security By Kavita A. Sharma
To sum up, emotion insecurity arises because of out functioning from the plane of the outer being rather than turning to our inner selves. When we function from the outer being, we have demands, expectations and needs that we want others to fulfil. This leads to insecurity, a feeling of being let down and hurt because the other person by his/her very nature cannot fulfil our demands. The only eternal, ever loving and ever protecting `Being’ who can give us the love, security and confidence that we seek, can be the Divine Being . But, for this, we need to surrender to the Divine in a childlike trust that nothing can ever go wrong, that we are always loved and protected…
