The Need for a Civilisation of New Consciousness N2 - Meta-history: The unfoldment and fulfilment of human destiny by V. Madhusudan Reddy explores the concept of "Meta-history," going beyond a purely linear or material understanding of historical events. The book is deeply influenced by Sri Aurobindo's vision and presents history not merely as a record of past occurrences, but as a purposeful unfolding towards a divine fulfillment and the realization of human destiny. Reddy argues that human civilization is at a critical juncture, facing decline, and that a new consciousness is essential to salvage it. He posits that the "Truth-Consciousness" should be the true focus of history, suggesting a progressive manifestation of the Divine on Earth. This perspective aims to overcome fatalism and determinism, viewing history as a dynamic process guided by a supreme will. The book discusses the evolution of human destiny, emphasizing the complementary nature of Eastern and Western outlooks and the urgent need for a civilization of new consciousness. It draws upon philosophical and spiritual insights to offer a vision of human unity and spiritual fellowship as integral to this unfoldment ER -
