The Philosophy and Spiritualism of Sri Aurobindo is a theory of evolution detailed in Sri Aurobindo's "The Life Divine".

Through the action of a fourth dimension, Supermind (i.e. Truth Consciousness), the Force (Chit) of Sat-Chit-Ananda was divided into Knowledge and Will, eventually formulating as an invisible Energy that would become
