THE SUPREME | Sachchidananda—Unmanifest, making possible every kind of manifestation. | SACHCHIDANANDA IN MANIFESTATION The Supreme Planes of Infinite Consciousness (1) Sat (implying Chit-Tapas and Ananda) (2) Chit (implying Sat and Ananda) (3) Ananda (implying Sat and Chit-Tapas.) | SUPERMIND or DIVINE GNOSIS. (The Self-Determining Infinite Consciousness) From the point of view of our ascent upwards this is the Truth-Consciousness as distinguished from all below that belongs to the separative Ignorance. | OVERMIND or MAYA (Overmind takes all Truth that comes down to it from the Supermind, but sets up each Truth as a separate force and idea capable of conflicting with the others as well as cooperating with them. Each overmental being has his own world, each force has its own play and throws itself out to realise its own fulfilment in the cosmic play. All is possible; and from this separative seat of conflicting and even mutually negating possibilities comes too, as soon as mind, life and matter are thrown out into play[,] the possibility of ignorance, unconsciousness, falsehood, death and suffering.) — OVERMIND GRADATION TO MIND = OVERMIND GNOSIS (Supermind subdued to the overmind play, limited and serving for true but limited creations).
