The Mind of Light in the Context of the Current Existential Crisis

Is it our destiny to create a divine life on earth? When we look around at the world today, we see innumerable problems, crises and contradictions that provoke many to feel utterly hopeless. Everywhere people have experienced the pain, the challenges, the aggressive opposition of ideas, ideologies, religions, creeds, movements and expressions. Some have given up and determined to simply live for today, “eat, drink and be merry” they say, as they abandon the thought that there is any purpose to their existence or to the universal existence itself.

Receptivity and Awareness of Occult Powers and Forces Does Not Come Through the Mental Faculty of the Intellect

it can be especially difficult for those who are highly educated in the field of Western science, medicine, or other studies that focus on the logical intellect of the mind, to actually appreciate and be receptive to the play of forces that occurs outside the normal perceptive range of the intellect. The educational process tends to create a blinkered view of reality; anything that does not fit within the walls of the mind and its senses is considered suspect or fake, even when it has palpable and observable effects.

The Vital Desire Soul and the True Soul of the Psychic Being

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother make a distinction between the ‘desire soul’ of the vital nature and the ‘true soul’ which expresses the inmost being that is a direct spark of the Divine. They differ in their focus, orientation, and basis of action. The desire soul incorporates the drives of the exte al being’s vital nature, the desires, emotions, impulsions that lead to the seeker after forms of power, wealth, sex, fame, and the fulfillment of the relationships which the individual has in his outer life, those of family, friends, and business associates etc.

The Difference Between Suppression and Rejection of Desire

Suppression of desire can be compared generally to the compression of a spring. The spring increases its latent energy by being compressed and eventually, when it escapes the compression stage, it responds powerfully. When desires are suppressed, they gain in strength and eventually burst forth with tremendous intensity.

The Need to Prepare the Being to Receive, Hold and Utilize the Influx of the Higher Forces

The raw power generated by an electricity power plant is far greater than any single house can sustain. Thus, the utility company utilizes step-down transformers to systematically bring the power down to a level that the homes and the wiring to the homes can sustain. A similar principle is at work with regard to the universal forces and the ability of any individual to receive and hold those forces. This is the reason that much of the work done in any yogic practice is to prepare the being to receive and utilize the force that descends.

The Power of the Psychic Being

When most people think of ‘power’ , it is within the context of some overt ability to accomplish something in the setting of the exte al world within which we live and act. This may be political power, economic power, physical power, moral power, the power to persuade, the power of an idea, the power of motivation, whether through speech, writing, or through some other medium. It may be the power to uplift and inspire, such as the power of art or music that touches something in the being.

Understanding Psychic and Soul In Their Deepest and Original Sense

The English language leaves a lot of room for confusion, simply because terminology tends to be imprecise, inexact, or vague. The issue is made even more difficult because, particularly in the West, there is very little understanding of the vast field of consciousness, the various planes and parts of the being, and their interactions with one another. It is compounded by the use of language to join together vastly different things simply because they are not recognised in their true place or significance.

Mental Consciousness Cannot Directly Comprehend Spiritual Forces at Work

In order to know something, we need to utilize the tools and methods appropriate to whatever form or energetic action we are trying to know. Those things which rely on emotion, for instance, cannot be fully understood by the logical intellect. Similarly, the strict step by step process of mathematics is not something that the vital nature or the emotions in general can comprehend. This is actually one serious cause of misunderstanding between people, as they try to communicate with one another from vastly different perspectives and starting points.

The Inner Subliminal Self

Having now referred to the Subliminal Self in our discussion of the creation of dreams, it is necessary to describe this part of our being more thoroughly, and Sri Aurobindo takes up the question. He points out that the subliminal self is not a creation out of the inconscience, but actually it is a meeting-place for the “consciousness that emerges from below by evolution and the consciousness that has descended from above for involution.”

The True Condition of Progress in the Spiritual Path

Sri Krishna taught Arjuna the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita on a battlefield. The setting is an important aspect of the teaching itself. The inner growth is not dependent on outer events or circumstances. Conditions will always be ‘imperfect’ if not absolutely terrible!

The Light Is Needed to Clear the Subconscient of Undesired Responses

In the Rig Veda, there is a legend about a cave of the Panis which Sri Aurobindo has explained as a description of how the subconscient captures and holds the higher divine Light and encloses it away in the darkness. The illumined mind and the higher powers of awareness break open this subconscient level and free the light from that encompassing darkness. In The Secret of the Veda, Sri Aurobindo describes the meaning of Indra, Sarama,the ‘cows’, representing the rays of Light, the battle of Light against the Darkness, and the significance of freeing these ray-cows from the subconscient.

The Need to Master the Sex Impulse for the Sadhak of the Integral Yoga

Religious and spiritual paths throughout the world have recognised the need to gain control over the sex impulse. Similarly societies have recognised that in many cases the sex impulse can create disruption in the orderly processes of the society. Traditionally, certain mores or rules of conduct have arisen around the expression of sexual energy. In some cases, sex is considered ‘sinful’ and is a cause for guilt and shame to arise. In other cases, society uses subtle manipulation to increase the focus on the sexual energy and thereby distract people from other and higher pursuits.

Understanding the Need and Limitations for Rules and Guidelines in Social Interactions and Activity in the World

Finding and holding the right balance between the inner life and the outer action is one of the constant difficulties facing the seeker. In the ordinary human life, focus on the outer world and its demands takes precedence and there is little or no emphasis on an inner life. During this phase, there are several ways people address their existence. Some focus on trying to create an ordered life and harmony that pays attention to detail and tries to create an outer form of perfection.

Focusing on the Signal While Eliminating the Noise: Concentration and Purification

Consider briefly that you have a television set that receives all the available channels, but you cannot tune the set, so that all picture and sound from the entire frequency range come in at the same time and mix up with each other, along with the static that occurs between various station signals. Obviously such a system is chaotic and does not function properly. In order to receive, understand and utilize whichever channel you want to watch, you need to be able to tune to that specific frequency and exclude all the others.

Accessing the True Source of Vital Energy

Access to the universal vital force and the renewal of one’s energy follows basic principles that can be seen in the action of another universal force that allows the creation of results in the exte al world, symbolised by what we know as ‘money’. In his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo states that ‘money is the visible sign of a universal force’. Money sitting stagnant and being held without purpose puts a barrier to the flow of the money-force. When money is put into action, the force flows and creates a cycle of replenishment.

The Divine Grace By Any Other Name…

It is human nature to want to categorize and pigeon-hole what happens and make developments fit into definitions of our choosing. This same thing occurs when we look at openings of the spiritual nature and the development of or transformation of consciousness. Not only do we want to define and categorize, but we want to overlay our own preferred view and methods onto other people and use that template to try to understand and judge others, their spiritual practice and their inner development.

Gaining Mastery Over the Action of the Mechanical Mind

The mechanical mind encompasses some of the most basic, most rudimentary activities of the mind. It lies below the faculties of higher logical reasoning, and forms a foundation for the most simple and automatic mental processes. It is like the core computer language upon which all kinds of routines are later built and which functions behind the scenes to keep the functionality of the computer in place.

Changing the Mental Focus From Negative to Positive Objects: the Power of Positive Affirmations

The idea that there is a ‘law of attraction’ has gained significant attention in the West over the last few decades. It has largely been interpreted by the materialistic mind of the West as a way to attract wealth and all forms of fulfillment of desire. This, however, is both a misreading and a misuse of the incredible power that lies within us to turn our attention and focus on some vibratory pattern, and thereby to create an environment in our lives where that pattern brings us into contact with all of its various aspects.

Two Aids in Overcoming the Impulse of Anger

For the spiritual seeker there are two major transformations ahead of the ultimate supramental transformation. These are the psychic transformation and the spiritual transformation. The one opens up the devotional aspiration and the receptivity of the being. The other shifts the standpoint away from the ego to the universal divine standpoint. Each of these provides leverage to the seeker who is trying to overcome the impulse of anger.

The Subconscient and the Inconscient

We are conscious and aware of forces and energies that operate within a certain specified range. Anything that falls outside that range, whether above or below, remains unseen and unknown to us, even if the forces operative in those superior or inferior ranges impact our thoughts, feelings, perceptions and life-energies.

The Emergence of the True Soul and Its Influence on Our Lives

When they were asked how they develop their most inspired concepts or inventions, noted personalities such as Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla made it clear that it is not through some laborious process of thought, but through an inspiration, a vision, a process of understanding that is outside the normal function of the mind-life-body in its limited functionality. Similar reports come from artists, composers, and visionaries who have been recognised as the leading lights in the development of human progress and culture.

The Nature and Practice of Karmayoga in the Integral Yoga

We frequently hear about the practice of ‘karma yoga’ in connection with feeding people, or providing medical care and support. These and other ‘good works’ are clearly beneficial to the social body and to the numerous individuals who receive real and substantial benefits from them. These functions, in and of themselves, however, do not constitute ‘karma yoga’ in the truest sense of the word.

How to Deal With Anger and Other Strong Vital Reactions

There is an idea, prevalent in some aspects of Western psychology, both mainstream and ‘pop’ psychology, that it is unhealthy to internalize and hold in strong reactions or emotions such as anger. They counsel letting it out and thereby saving oneself from the psychological and physical effects of suppressed anger and other strong emotions. There are even groups that support the idea of “scream-therapy” as a way to express one’s inner rage.

Untying the Knot of the Ego-Consciousness

As long as an individual is locked within a framework of understanding, he is unable to truly recognise or exceed the limits of that framework. The ego-consciousness is such a frame of awareness. It creates the sense of a separate individual, apart and having his own autonomy in contra-distinction to the rest of the creation. It creates a sense of “self” and “other” that drives the individual to see things in a fragmented manner.

Actualizing the Surrender to the Divine in All the Parts of the Being

Particularly when we are predominantly seated in our mental consciousness, we tend to believe that 'knowing' something with our minds represents 'knowing' it in its reality. We gain what may be called the arrogance of the mental consciousness. We soon learn, however, that mental knowledge is not equivalent to actual practical experience.

A Change of Consciousness Is Required for a Change in Human Society

When we look back at the history of human civilization, we can see that many ideas have been attempted to try to develop a fair, balanced and prosperous society. Thinkers, philosophers, political scientists and economists have all weighed in with their dreams and considerations about how to perfect human life on earth. We can also see, however, that none of these ideas has actually worked out in practice.

The Effort of the Spiritual Seeker in Distinguishing the Action of the Divine Force from the Promptings of the Ego

A constant conce for spiritual aspirants is to distinguish the divine Will from their own ego-personality’s desires or ambitions. The vital nature has the uncanny ability to convince the mind that what it desires is actually something that can and should be justified, and once the mind adheres to it, the individual spends his time fulfilling the desires of the vital nature while feeling that he is carrying out the divine Will. In some cases, this reaches such an extreme state that the individual is able to justify all manner of harm to others as the fulfillment of a divine mission.

How Do We Determine Our Destined Role in the World? — Part 1

Dannion Brinkley told the story in his book Saved By the Light. He was a mercenary, a hired killer. He was struck by lightning. He was pronounced clinically dead. He returned to life. He knew, at that moment, that he was ‘sent back’ to accomplish a task, a mission. He left behind his prior life and founded an organization called Compassion in Action (C.I.A.) to train people on how to work with those who were terminally ill and in hospice.

Sex, Spirituality and Transformation of Human Life

Most religious and spiritual paths have addressed the issue of sexuality from a viewpoint that turns it into some kind of sin or morality concern, and proscriptions about sex and responses to the sexual impulse mirror this focus on morality versus immorality. People who engage in sexual behaviour itside the accept norm in a particular society are stigmatised for those activities. The determination of what constitutes ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’ is clearly based on the view of specific societies, and thus, can be seen as a ‘temporal’ determination not some kind of universal law or judgment.

The Way of the Integral Yoga

Many paths of yoga teach a fixed method that everyone who takes it up is asked to follow in a precise and standardized way. Whether it is the use of a fixed set of asanas, pre-determined pranayama routines, set routines of prayer, mantra, japa, or devotional practices, everyone is given essentially the same starting point and are set to reach essentially the same result at the end of the process.

How to Change One’s Nature

As the awareness develops of the influences that have shaped our character and active nature from our ancestors, our parents, as well as the influences from our peers and from the society at large, we begin to develop a respect for the complexity of the task and the reasons why we cannot simply use our mental conception and will-power to change our own nature. There is too much embedded in the subconscious layers of our being, not to speak of what resides in universal nature, to simply isolate ourselves from all those influences and create ourselves anew out of whole cloth.

Morality and Spirituality

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna becomes conscious of the sin of fighting against and killing his relatives, revered teachers and elders, and declares that the moral code supports the idea that he should not fight. Sri Krishna responds that the divine intention is not limited by human-made moral codes, and that it was both his duty and his destiny to undertake the fight and come out victorious, killing those very elders, teachers and relatives who stood against him on the other side of the battlefield. There was a larger issue at stake that needed to be addressed.

How to Experience the Influx of Universal Forces Directly Through the Experience of a Wider Consciousness

The Vedic Rishis described a change in conscious awareness as representing satyam, rtam, brihat, the truth, the right, the vast. It is difficult for most people living in the modern world to gain a conception of the vastness of existence. We may know intellectually that the universe is large, we may know that the world, from our individual perspective is large, but the sense of infinity, the sense of unending wideness is missing as we remain circumscribed by the limits of our daily life and the frenetic pace of interaction that occurs within that life.

Most people, embedded in the physical body and its consciousness, find it difficult, if not impossible, to accept or validate the reality of the out of body experience. At the same time, there are countless anecdotes of people who have an out of body experience, or the related ‘near death experience.’ The descriptions by those who have these experiences are remarkably similar, despite coming from a diverse cross-section of humanity and occurring among people who in many cases have no preconception of the possibility of such an experience.

The Subconscious, the Subliminal and the Superconscious Influence on Our Exte al Lives

When we are focused on our exte al being, we tend not to recognise that forces unseen actually not only impact how and what we perceive, understand, and respond to impressions and pressures, but actually very much define who we believe we are. There are forces that are subconscient to our exte al awareness which send up suggestions, thoughts, impulses, drives, habits, and instincts that drive our action. There are also forces superconscient to our exte al awareness that help us see, and grow beyond the limits of our physical-vital-mental existence.

Let Endurance Be Your Watchword in the Yogic Endeavour

Successful people, in whatever field, tend to highlight their ability to keep going. They indicate that no matter how many times one falls, one must get up, or in the local vernacular, ‘keep on keeping on’. Reactiveness, an inability to hold one’s peace under provocation, is considered to be a sign of vital weakness. People who have cultivated vital strength tend to be able to bear much without expressions of anger, without lashing out, without crying or otherwise evidencing signs of distress.

There are quite a few anecdotes and statements by individuals about remembering past lives, and there is an entire field of study dealing with what is called ‘past life regression therapy’. Some of the more intriguing incidents involve young people who can describe a village in some distant land, and even recognise or speak in a language they have not learned in this lifetime.

They enjoy, they develop the capacities of the body, they do not think twice about it, other than to the extent that their religious or moral training has provided them reasons to treat the normal functions of the body as sinful or immoral, and the expectations of society challenge the body image of the individual to raise up feelings of shame or pride.

Everybody Practices Occultism, Whether They Realize It or Not

People proudly deny occultism with a laugh and a smirk about how unreal it is, and how people are taken in by the occult sciences. They state their dependence on what is “real” and “solid” and palpable to their senses. Seeing is believing, they say! They frequently pound on the table to prove how “real” what they believe in happens to be. Yet, when given the opportunity to objectify what they do in their lives, they reveal that they too are practitioners of occult arts, things that are not so palpable or ‘solid’ as they profess in their attempt to minimize the value of occultism.

The Psychic Being Senses the Divine Presence and Guidance

Everything we experience is sensed or felt by some developed capacity or part of the being. Vibrations that occur within the ranges of the electro-magnetic spectrum that human beings can perceive are identified as light, colors, sound, etc. We have senses of taste, touch and smell, similarly tuned to specific ranges of perception. The sensation occurs, the vibration moves through the nerve channels to the appropriate location in our being and is then interpreted, so that we say that we can see, taste, touch, hear or smell something. There are additional senses that work more subtly.

If we focus on the experience of our normal, daily lives, we will find that it can be characterised by a specific feeling or quality that we know as our usual experience. While each individual may have a different characterisation of this experience, some happy, some sad, some joyful, some filled with pain, the preoccupation with the exte al body, life-energy and mind, the perceptions of the senses, the relationships we have with others and our experience of the environment within which we live, are the primary factors for virtually everyone.

Many people do not take the opportunity to shift their perspective on life and this then represents the frame within which they exist. They live in the exte al world without much reflection.

Can Reading Random Passages of Books Provide True Guidance and Direction?

The human mind tries to find patterns and meaning in things. We see random cloud shapes and we want to understand a ‘message’. We look into the night sky and create shapes out of stars which are enormous distances separated from one another by seeing a particular form or image in the pattern created by the starlight of those disparate stars. Moving closer to our daily lives, we try to understand patterns in divination, tarot cards, and other practices which we use to build inner linkages and thus, provide meaning for our present and future actions.

Higher Mind Is the First Gradation of Consciousness Beyond the Normal Human Mental Level

It is difficult to appreciate that there are gradations of consciousness, each with their own distinct characteristics, that occur outside our normal human range of perception. We tend to see separations and divisions within our limited range, while we treat anything outside that range as being uniform and indistinct. If we, however, simply observe our own range of perception and awareness carefully, we will see that there are gradations that occur within that range.
