"Only Teilhard and Sri Aurobindo postulated a divinisation stage beyond the spiritual mind ":

There is a huge difference between De Chardin and Sri Aurobindo. De Chardin was a typical left brained western philosopher/theologian. His philosophy was pure speculation. He was also a product of his time and place. A time when the Divine Radiance had long since disappeared from the cultural landscape and possibility of western so called "culture". A time and place when any kind of yogic or mystical realization was both taboo and impossible. As Niezsche said "god is dead"!! Sri Auribindo by contrast was a profond "mystically" inspired yogic Realizer. His "philosophy" was informed by his profound Realization and consequent unique understanding/perspective of what he was talking about. He (plus The Mother) were profound LIVING proof of their "philosophy".
