Abstract

Sri Aurobindo theorises that in the future, human civilisations and cultures worldwide will turn inwards for knowledge, ushering in the Subjective Age following the current Individualist Rational Age. This new age will integrate the objective epistemologies of recent rational enquiry with subjective epistemologies of the subliminal worlds. Against this vast theoretical canvas, this chapter focuses on the potential of process work as a discipline of applied behavioural sciences to contribute to this civilisational turn through its experiential knowledge of individuals, groups, and societies. Such understanding transcends and integrates the rational mind to arrive at greater and greater planes of truth, consciousness, and bliss. To illustrate this possibility, it draws correspondences between the author's experiences in labs, particularly Suprarational ones, with the theories of Sri Aurobindo on the personality structure and subjective epistemologies.
