Nobody starts out trying to make Sri Aurobindo a GOD, nor to become part of some sort of cult. It is ur problem if u have these kinds of notions. It is only when one delves deeper, gets an idea of what is the nature, quality & level of this Being that u rightly evaluate & relate.

You could also go back to William James, re: post-rationalism. 
But Gebser does develop a robust, phenomenological description for integral arationality in his work.
