The Mysterious Divine Trio
Franklin Wolff highly valued the work of Sri Aurobindo and in fact, he spent almost a decade (during the 1950s) studying the writings of Aurobindo. Indeed, you will find that a good number of Wolff’s audio recordings (all posted on the Fellowship’s website) speak of Aurobindo’s work and philosophy. This essay was inspired by the work of Aurobindo and by Wolff’s comments on this work: Timothy Zook recounts how he was led to what Aurobindo calls the “psychic being,” and he hopes that this discovery will help others to find their own “Helper.”
