So your just pulling out of auroville, the bus is curving on the road like a snake, this driver has talent, okay so how is my impression of auroville, hhmm I guess if you look at it from a pure visual perspective it is very nice, the centre with the "golden sphere" is amazing (and took more than 20 years to build) the garden is beautiful, its truly well taken care of. Now what my concern is, is the philosophy behind it - I heard some hard sentences that made me on one hand surprise on the other a bit worried. No I don't want to discuss religion here, if it exist or not, but building society - because that is or was what "the mother" was trying to do, on the principles of getting rid of religion, to focus on the true meaning of life which according to them is to reach the highest level of concentration - which I would say can be discussed, whether or not it really is the meaning of life..I think some of the ideas are great, but are following common sense I think, respect for each other. As we are leaving auroville I can't help thinking that after all people are free to believe in what they want to, and who they want to - but it all seems to me a bit to similar to our old hippies, with peace, love and happiness, which is just fine as well - but don't include me into that, the search for me and my personal highest level of happiness goes on..
