toward world peace
. According to Sri Aurobindo, the central theme of Integral Yoga is the evolution of life into a "life divine". In Sri Aurobindo’s words: "Man is a transitional being. He is not final. The step from man to superman
is the next approaching achievement in the earth evolution. It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner spirit and the logic of Nature's process".
Sri Aurobindo’s disciple The Mother
established a ashram
-city
called Auroville
in Viluppuram district
in the state of Tamil Nadu
, India
near Pondicherry in South India
in 1968 to train and develop this new super-race through yogic practices.
According to Aurobindo, "The supramental transformation is the final stage in the integral yoga, enabling the birth of a new individual fully formed by the supramental power. Such individuals would be the forerunners of a new truth-consciousness based supra-humanity. All aspects of division and ignorance of consciousness at the vital and mental levels would be overcome, replaced with a unity of consciousness at every plane, and even the physical body transformed and divinised. A new supramental species would then emerge, living a supramental, gnostic, divine life on earth".
On January 1, 1969, Sri Aurobindo’s Integral yoga co-worker and disciple, The Mother (at age 90) announced the "arrival" of the "superman consciousness" – "the intermediary between man and the supramental being".

of the future greatly expanded Internet
through brain-computer interfacing
) by gradually replacing their biological cells
with new cells having a more efficient cellular energy processing system
that will be based on nanobots manufactured using nanotechnology
. These nanobot based cells will enable those who possess these initially quasi android bodies ("Human body 2.0") to have much greater physical endurance as if they were permanently on steroid
s, and many Olympic records will be routinely broken. The five sense
s will be enhanced first by genetic enhancement
and then by additional brain-computer interfacing. By about 2040, most humans will have become fully android ("Human body 3.0").
Finally, predicts Kurzweil, by 2045, because of the operation of Moore's law
, supercomputer
s linked together by the Internet
will have developed enough memory capacity such that most of the now mostly android human race (except those who don’t want to) will be able to upload themselves into the worldwide Internet supercomputer of 2045 and live forever after in virtual reality
—an event he calls the Singularity.
Kurzweil predicts that soon after the "Singularity", the worldwide supercomputer will deploy other humanoid androids and robot
s in the meat world. A space navy
of these androids and robots will radiate outward from Earth (by now itself a gigantic worldwide supercomputer
, except for extensive areas of the surface of Earth set up as nature reserve

and convert all the matter they encounter into megacomputers made of computronium
(such as Jupiter Brains) in order to continually expand the computer capacity of the solar system and thus create ever more realistic virtual reality and solve ever more complex computer problems
. Once the matter of the solar system has been mostly converted to computer substrate, forming a Matrioshka brain
, according to Kurzweil, life
will then expand outward into interstellar space
in all directions, deploying miniature starship
s (to save on expensive anti matter starship fuel) that will be Von Neumann probes crewed by swarm
s of nanobots, to colonize the entire Milky Way Galaxy. When these nanobots arrive in a planetary system
, the nanobots will be programmed with software to begin converting some of the matter they encounter into more androids and robots. While in the process of doing so, they will continue converting all other matter they encounter not being used to create additional androids and robots into more megacomputers—the androids and robots created by the nanobots will build interplanetary spaceships to fan out into the planetary system and themselves help get this job done. Some of the androids and robots will then settle down in the meat world as immortal colonists on the surfaces of the Matrioshka brains thus constructed (regularly making backup copies of the contents of their brains so they can be reconstructed if they are killed in an accident), while others will upload themselves into the virtual reality based on these Matrioshka brains, keeping their bodies in cryonic storage
. Eventually, the entire Galaxy, then the Local group
, then the Virgo Supercluster
, then the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex
and ultimately the entire Universe
will be turned into a gigantic megacomputer.
