(THEA) PATRIZIA NORELLI-BACHELET
Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet is the most perceptive seer-cosmologist in the world today. She is one of those rare individuals who has the ability to 'see' into the core of the collective chaos of modern civilization and expose the root cause of its problems. In her books and articles she has proven beyond all doubt that the malaise, purposelessness and confusion which define our modern world is the direct outcome of our past mystic and spiritual perceptions. Over the last 25 years, she has developed a formidable body of knowledge demonstrating that man's spiritual development does not culminate in an eternal and transcendent poise as it is traditionally conceived, but follows the same principles as the biological evolution, a progressive unfolding in time revealing constantly new and fuller aspects of the Divine consciousness. The primary feature of her work and the character of its newness lies in its recognition of the power of Time as the driving force behind the evolution. "Time", says Norelli-Bachelet, "is continually pushing mankind toward a higher stage of development. It is the primary element involved in the gestation of a new and superior consciousness-form in the material creation." Her realizations concerning the nature of Time are based upon a direct experience of an objective order which she has extended into a cosmological framework known as "The Gnostic Circle". When its principles are applied to our contemporary society it demonstrates that, as a collectivity, we are poised for an evolutionary leap beyond the limitations of our present mental species into an entirely new condition of consciousness. Our present stage is merely one step along the way, albeit a decisive one. We have reached a major evolutionary turning point and before us lies a totally new way of life and by consequence a new world order.
Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet lives at "Skambha", her estate in the mountains of southern India where she conducts the operations of the Aeon Centre of Cosmology. Aeon Centre is a microcosmic laboratory where she observes and records for publication the direct collaboration of the Time Spirit acting to unveil this new principle of order in the world.
Her evolutionary work is a continuation of the Supramental Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother of Pondicherry
