	The Human Cycle - By Sri Aurobindo
		For Sri Aurobindo, even in recent history, what determined really the social and cultural development of mankind wasn't the Marxist or the capitalist economic conception or the materialistic and scientific success, because these are only the outward and transitory expression of an evolutionary necessity of man's soul.
		For Sri Aurobindo it is an illusionary gospel to believe that "the expectation and the prophecy that the extension of commerce would be the extinction of war" or that reason and science might achieve a peaceful existence between the nations.
		Sri Aurobindo's view is that "this great indefinable thing, liberty, is in its highest and ultimate sense a state of being" it is a "self living in itself".

	Vital - Integral Wiki
		The Vital or Life faculty or part of the being, in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, refers not simply to the life force as to the various passions, desires, feelings, emotions, affects, compulsions, and likes and dislikes that strongly determine human motivation and action through desire and enthusiasm.
		Unlike Western psychology, in which mind, emotions, instincts, and consciousness are all lumped together, Sri Aurobindo strongly distinguishes between the "Vital" and the "Mental" faculties.
		In addition to the individual Vital faculty, Sri Aurobindo refers to a Vital Plane or Vital world, which would seem to be partly equivalent to the Astral Plane of popular occultism and New Age thought.

	The Vital
		The Life or Vital Plane in this philosophy refers not to etheric or life-force body (which is here included under the heading of the "physical"), but the various emotions, desires, lusts, likes, dislikes, and so on; what in Neoplatonism and Kabbalah is called the "animal soul", the lower or instinctual self; the "lower self".
		Higher vital usually refers to the vital mind and emotive being as op posed to the middle vital which has its seat in the navel and is dynamic, sensational and passionate and the lower which is made up of the smaller movements of human life-desire and life-reactions...
		The lower vital as distinguished from the higher is concerned only with the small greeds, small desires, small passions, etc. which make up the daily stuff of life for the ordinary sensational man - while the vital-physical proper is the nervous being giving vital reflexes to contacts of things with the physical consciousness.
