Steps Needed to ‘Become Conscious’

Some people believe that an intense aspiration is all that is needed to overcome the obstacles that prevent seekers from seeing, understanding and effectively responding to the forces that drive the outer life they lead. Others emphasize the details of the methodology to gain the needed insights and convert them into action items in the life. In reality, it is a combination of aspiration, and a specific and detailed methodology that together effectuate the needed consciousness changes. The aspiration energizes the will and focuses the attention.

Understanding the Consciousness of the Body

If we reflect on how many actions or operations of the physical body take place without our mental intervention, it becomes clear that the body has its own highly developed, and essential, form of consciousness that operates independently of the mind. One common example is widely experienced. An individual is walking across ice or some other slippery surface and suddenly starts to lose his balance. Before the mind can react, the body sets in motion a balancing routine and in many cases can prevent an outright fall to the ground.

The Best Way to Help Others and Help the World

When we want to help alleviate the suffering in the world, or help solve the general conce s, or the more specific individual needs and wants, we come up with an endless number of ideas about ‘how to help’. From an outward perspective these may be highly valuable and useful activities. Spiritual and religious organisations, in particular, tend to focus on feeding the hungry, healing and caring for the sick, providing shelter. These things help to mitigate some of the worst dislocations and imbalances in the world and how society functions.

The Need for the Persistence of Faith to Succeed in the Yogic Endeavour

We often do not recognise that there are different parts of our being that may be at different stages in terms of the spiritual focus, the dedication, the faith and the commitment. Thus, when our mind gets distracted or conce ed, or when our vital nature goes off in another direction, we may tend to feel like we are failing in the spiritual practice and we entertain considerations of giving up.

The Law of Attraction and Spiritual Practice

In recent years there has been a lot of focus on what is called the ‘law of attraction’. It has been mainly used to act as some kind of a ‘wish-fulfilling action’ that one undertakes by focusing on specific affirmations or visualizing results which then are ‘attracted’ to your focus and create the result you are seeking. This is, however, a very limited application of a much more general action of the universal consciousness of oneness.

How to Distinguish The Divine Force from the Habitual Action of the Lower as well as from the Hostile Forces

Trying to change human nature, the basic physical-vital-mental makeup that we accept as the predominant mode of being in the world today, is hard. The actions and reactions of the body, the senses, the vital energy, the organ systems, the emotional system, the hormonal responses, and the mental habits are deeply embedded. When someone tries to change any of these elements, he runs up against walls, obstacles and resistance.

Weakness of Limitation or the Power of Omnipotence Depends on the Status of Consciousness

When we are feeling weak or limited, we become unhappy, we react with frustration and are discontented with our lot. We feel in many cases oppressed by circumstances. We can become depressed if things are not going the way we expect or want them to go. We can become angry with ourselves, with others, with circumstances, with a general lack of what we desire to see or achieve.

Making the Vital Being an Instrument of the Divine Shakti

The idea of changing the basic way that human beings respond to circumstances is one that has been considered to be a virtually hopeless task. Long human experience has provided the impression that our vital nature is fixed and, while we can perhaps soften it around the edges, it is basically impossible to change. Thus, there are various directions that humanity has explored to overcome the limitations of the vital being.

Two Processes of Traditional Yogic Paths That Can Aid the Sadhana of the Integral Yoga

While the integral Yoga does not depend on the techniques or methods of the traditional yogic paths, Sri Aurobindo has identified several processes that can be of great help in some cases. They help the seeker achieve a state of separation from the outer ego-personality and vital desire-soul, to be able to recognise the motives, impulsions and habitual actions and reactions of the outer nature, so that they can be distinguished and either changed or transformed under the pressure of the yogic process.

Thought-Forms

When we examine the question of thought-forms, we recognise that people usually want to imply that a thought is able to turn into some kind of physical reality, purely through the power of thought. This, however, is one element of the question, but not the only element. Thought-forms have a variety of mechanisms for being created and effectuated.

Embracing the Quietude and the Silence of the Mind

In Western society, people are inculcated, from early childhood,in the idea that they need to be active in order to succeed in the world. The outlook is extremely focused on an outward perspective. The body, life-force and mind have to be trained and harnessed into action. Time not spent in active efforts at development and putting the powers of being to work is considered to be time ‘wasted’. People who do not focus on putting the powers of mind, life and body to work in the world in a noticeable way are considered to be ‘dreamers’ and are not taken seriously.

Drawing on the Universal Energy for Life-Force

If we observe the way we receive energy normally, we can determine that the sun is the immediate source of physical energy and it then gets transformed, or converted, into other forms of energy including life energy. The first step in this transformation comes about through the ability of plants to turn solar energy into life-energy. The plants then store the produced energy, using some of it for growth and some for life activities. Animals, in turn consume plants to obtain a share of this physical energy which they need to survive and thrive.

How to Choose the Object or Idea for Meditation

In the Taittiriya Upanishad, Bhrigu approached his father, Varuna and asked to be taught about the Ete al. Varuna replied ‘Seek thou to know that from which these creatures are born, whereby being born they live and to which they go hence and enter again; for that is the Ete al.’ As Bhrigu meditated on the Ete al in this way, he came back for further guidance on several occasions and was told ‘By askesis do thou seek to know the Ete al, for concentration in thought (or concentration of force) is the Ete al.’ (translations provided here are by Sri Aurobindo)

What Actually Is Spirituality?

We speak of ‘spirituality’ and we have a conception in our minds about what it actually is. We vaguely sense that it encompasses a devotion and focus on something other than our daily exte al life and relationships. Many people state that they are ‘spiritual, not religious’. We sometimes conceive of it as a deep devotional sense in our being. Others may conceive of it as the ability to put aside all worldly conce s and cares and focus one-pointed attention on the Infinite, by whatever name, and in whatever form, we may conceive of the Infinite.

The Illusion of Constant Action

It is a malady of modern society that we believe we must stay constantly busy, We do not understand nor appreciate the value of quiet time for contemplation and stepping outside of the whirl of day to day activities to unite our awareness with that of the consciousness which manifests in the universal creation. Everyone is ‘busy’ while very few are actually accomplishing anything of note. Modern society prods us into this buzz of constant motion.

Comparing Current General State of Human Consciousness With More Evolved States, Part 6 Subjection to Suffering from the Dualities Versus Equanimity

The dualities, or pairs of opposites, are recognised throughout the world as a condition of life. Night and day, positive and negative, and all other dualities, can be seen in material nature, as well as in our vital and emotional existence and in our minds. Electricity flows between positive and negative poles. The pairs of opposites are seemingly inescapable in our world.

The Shift or Reversal of Consciousness Happens All At Once, Not Gradually

We are used to the idea that if we practice something, if we undertake a course of study, we will gradually increase our ability and our level of understanding, so that eventually we move, in the academic field, for example, from primary school to high school, to college, potentially to graduate school, and at each stage, we become more accomplished in our chosen field of endeavour. The shift of consciousness does not appear to work under that mode of development however.

Spiritual Insight, Not Psychotherapy, Leads to Deeper Truths of the Being

As human beings typically rely on their mental capacities to understand things, seekers frequently take the advice of tracing back to the roots of the impulses, thoughts, feelings they experience as requiring a method akin to the processes followed in psychotherapy. Western psychotherapy uses the mind to try to analyze causes and interpret signs, symbols and dreams to lead the individual to the underlying issues he is facing.

The Cycles and Causes of Recurring Difficulties in Relation to Spiritual Development and Progress

It is a limitation of our normal mental mode of understanding that we do not tend to take into account the impact of time and the cyclical nature of development. We expect things to move in a straight line. We expect progress to be continuous and in a single direction. When we overcome a particular issue or obstacle, we believe it is in our past, over and done with.

The Need to Overcome Fear in the Realisation of the Atman

In the exte al world, fear plays a role that can both hinder progress, and protect from impulsive or rash action that would result in injury, loss or death. If fear is excessive, it paralyzes the individual into inaction. If it is insufficient, he may rush into circumstances far beyond his expectation and suffer the consequences. Fear is like a tripwire and a defensive wall. Depending on how sensitively it has been set, we determine the limits of our exte al life beyond which we do not go.

Overcoming Desire Without Suppression or Indulgence

The mental consciousness likes to frame issues in terms of black and white determinations, as ‘either/or’ considerations. So we tend to swing from one extreme to the other. Either we try to indulge ourselves in fulfilling desires, in some cases with the idea that by satisfying the desire we will overcome it, or else we undertake harsh suppression of the desire and utilize all kinds of punishing methods to enforce this suppression. It is rare that we find a way out of the conundrum that both of these methods, by fixating on the energy of the desire, are actually strengthening its hold!

The Experience of the Individual in the Ordinary Life of the Exte al Surface Being

For the individual living on the surface of his being, interacting with the exte al world, responding to impulsions, pressures, forces and the objects of desire, his inner experience is essentially a reaction to these exte al pressures and an attempt to meet the desires that arise and somehow enjoy one’s life. When he succeeds in obtaining some object of desire, he experiences a short-lived sense of happiness or joy. When things do not work out as he hopes, he may go through experiences of anger, frustration, or depression.

Understanding and Addressing the Mechanism of Anger and its Exte al Cause

If we examine the phenomenon of anger closely we see how it suddenly rises up and overpowers even those who are normally quite even-keeled in their day to day lives. By studying mob psychology, where we see a large number of individuals inflamed in a crowd setting and set into motion to wreak havoc and destroy, or express hatred, we see that on their own many of these individuals would never have engaged in such expressions or acts, but when their rage or anger has been whipped up from outside, they can do things that would be otherwise unthinkable.

Sincerity Is the Only Protection in the Development of the Spiritual Life

If we consider what the most important quality is for progress in spiritual growth, we generally come up with a number of different ideas, including devotion, strong mind or will, faith, dedication, aspiration. We rarely name ‘sincerity’ as the quality most required. Yet, the Mother stresses the importance of this generally under-rated quality. Without sincerity, all the other qualities tend to fail at some point. A disciple asks: “What is the fundamental virtue to be cultivated in order to prepare for the spiritual life?”

The Mother’s Force to Effectuate the Change of Consciousness

Practitioners of Yoga speak of the opening of the Kundalini and the energy rising up from the base of the spine, through the various chakras and issuing out of the 1000 petalled lotus at the top of the skull. The experience of the rising of the Kundalini is a core development in many yogic practices. One of the disadvantages of this, however, is the potential for all kinds of unrefined energies from the lower chakras to be released and put in motion while the seeker is not yet fully prepared to deal with and manage them. This has led to some unfortunate consequences for many people.

The Gunas and the Seeker’s Relation to Material Objects in the Practice of the Integral Yoga

The action of the three gunas, qualities of nature, is often overlooked in our understanding of how things take place in the world, including in our spiritual growth; yet, these qualities permeate all activity and an appreciation of them helps the witness consciousness observing the actions of the outer being to both understand and manage these actions. Our relationship to handling material things is very much based on the gunas. When tamas, darkness or indolence, is predominant, we tend to treat material objects carelessly, and they break down or lack smooth functioning.

Acting from the ‘Right Spirit’

The Mother provides another example of the need for insight and flexibility to address changing circumstances. Most people want to have a fixed routine provided for them. ‘Do this, and you will achieve that.’ This process, while comforting to the mental consciousness that normally functions within fixed and narrow limits, is unable to address the fluidity and complexity of the world within which we actually live.

Most people do not understand why it is they are alive, what it is they are here to do in the world. Many simply think that ‘eat, drink and be merry’ is the sum of their purpose; in other words, they do not recognise a life purpose or mission in that sense, and just want to find a way to enjoy their lives, satisfy their physical needs and cravings, enjoy their desires and relationships and then seek entertainment to avoid boredom, loneliness and ennui.

Understanding the Exte al Medium of Communication and the Inner Force Within the Communication

There are hidden forces, vibrational patterns that move between people that remain unseen, but have their effect, similar to the way that we do not observe electricity, but we do observe its effects. These vibrational patterns operate without any overt, exte al medium, simply through communication of the vibrations from one vital being to another.

Does the Universal Manifestation and Our lives Have Any Meaning?

Rene Descartes famously proclaimed the fact the he existed by stating ‘I think, therefore I am.’ In today’s world, however, that method of proving existence is under pressure as we grapple with more subtle possible answers to how we exist, why we exist and what this entire existence means, if anything. There are scientists who hold that all life has come about purely through various chemical interactions and that these combinations of elements are simply, through the magnitude of time and chances to create our universe and all of our developments of awareness.

Habits

Much of the activity in our lives is governed by the force of habits, whether ingrained in the genetic and species memory as ‘instinctive’ behavior, or built into the structure and function of the anatomy and physiology of our bodies, or developed through various forms of conditioning of our perceptions, feelings, responses, vital reactions, emotions and thoughts. Every vibration in nature has a pattern which lends itself to repetition and this repetition, which we may call a vibratory rhythm, builds habits and “grooves” of response at all levels of our being.

Conquering Difficulties With a Positive Mind-Set

The Indian tradition relates a story of the divine singer, Narad, which emphasizes the power of a positive mind-set in the spiritual quest. He came across a yogi undertaking strenuous discipline, tapasya, This yogi inquired how much longer he would need to achieve enlightenment. Narad replied “4 more lifetimes”. The yogi became despondent and complained that after so much effort, still 4 more lifetimes would be required. Narad continued on his jou eys and came across a seeker who was singing and dancing in ecstatic dance.

What is Meant by the Term ‘Meditation’?

We are asked to meditate and for most, the question arises, what is meditation? How do i do it and what is supposed to happen when I meditate. Those with an active or highly devotional nature may find it difficult to sit for formal meditation, but for those who have a developed mental process, meditation can be an important part of their spiritual practice. To understand what is meant by the term ‘meditation’, Sri Aurobindo has provided a brief overview:

Programming the Subconscient to Modify Habits

While we tend to place a negative connotation on ‘habits’, in fact, habits are an important part of the action of the being, particularly of the physical being. We see times and seasons in Nature that repeat themselves, and we see animal life surviving through patterns and habits that they have developed over time. Human beings have sleep and waking cycles as well as general times for taking food that represent physical habits deeply ingrained in human activity. We can measure changes in the energy cycles and hormone release cycles to identify that these patterns are generally operative.

The Secret Significance and Process of Evolution

Western science has attempted to understand existence by analysis, first and foremost of the outer forms and forces we experience in the world around us. The mind’s analytical and organisational capabilities have been brought intensively to bear upon the forms of existence, the material basis, the vital life-forms and the developments of mental capacity. Charles Darwin conducted extensive research which he recounted in his seminal work in the field titled The Origin of Species.

Divine Realisation and the Uplifting and Perfection of Life in the World

The ancient sages of India, as we see in some of the texts that have come down to us through the course of time, understood the balance between the internal and the exte al, between individual liberation and a balanced activity in the world. They recognised the individual role as part of the divine manifestation and embraced it. The Isha Upanishad makes this clear in its short compass. The Taittiriya Upanishad goes to great lengths to ensure that the seeker does not abandon the material world.

The Greek Temperament and the Roman Temperament in the Practice of Yoga

We observe some individuals who have an obvious connection to the life-energy and who have a sensitivity and responsiveness to life that allows them to experience the fullness of life. We also observe individuals who appear more restrained, self-contained, and less subject to the life around them, who tend to reflect and analyze in order to understand and act. Each of these temperamental types has its own special and unique advantages, and disadvantages, for the yogic practitioner. Neither one represents the only temperament capable of achieving the result of the yogic practice.

Religion, Fanaticism and Divine Truth

Adherents of virtually all religious traditions want to believe that their own religion is the one “true” religion, and all others are false, mistaken or imperfect. This belief reinforces their own faith and thus, enhances the satisfaction of the vital ego. In some cases, however, this belief goes far beyond an inner feeling and becomes an outer expression of fanatic belief that tries to enforce the position of the religion against that of everyone who is not a believe in that particular creed.

The Challenge of Changing Human Nature

Those individuals who take up the practice of yoga for the purpose of transformation of the nature and the development of wider and higher states of consciousness inevitably find that the influence of the physical and vital basis upon which human life is based represents one of the greatest, if not actually the greatest, obstacles to their spiritual development. The idea of changing human nature, overcoming the embedded habits, the atavistic tendencies, the ingrained responses bred into human existence for many millennia is one that most people consider to be essentially impossible.

The Subtle Energetic Interchange That Accompanies All Interaction in the World

One of the reasons that spiritual seekers have traditionally been advised to seek solitude and not engage in society is that there is a constant, subliminal interchange that takes place between all human beings. We generally do not notice it, but on an energetic, a vibrational level, we are constantly receiving (and sending) vibrations that impact how we respond to situations, what we are feeling, and even what we are thinking about in many cases.

Experiencing the Shift of Consciousness from the Outer Being to the Inner Being

There is a complete reversal of consciousness that occurs when the inner being opens and the awareness shifts inward. It may be experienced as a separation of an observer watching all the actions and events in the outer world, including the thoughts, feelings, perceptions and outer stimuli that impinge upon the being. Suddenly one might feel transported into a different state of awareness where the outer actions seem to be somewhat illusory or unreal. This seems to be one of the experiences that led to the development of the concept of the illusion of the world.

They “become” that movement, whether it is happiness and joy, hunger, anger, ennui, fatigue, or some concentrated state of mind, etc. Their awareness, their conscious existence is totally wrapped up in those movements of energy in their being. Few are those who feel a degree of ‘separation’ such that they can actually observe these changes of moods with conscious awareness and recognise the causal links, the situational causes and their reactions.

The Soul’s Aspiration for Adherence to the Divine Will in Manifestation

The most direct way to align oneself with the Divine Will is to treat the soul, the psychic being, as the standpoint from which the being takes its stance. This is not a mental analysis, a desire of the vital or a physical need or impulsion; rather it takes the form of an aspiration, a prayer, a consecration which recognises the Divine as the focus, driver and director of all one’s actions.

As each phase of the evolution of consciousness manifests, it arises from the prior stage and continues to interact with that stage. At the point of meeting, the stages take on characteristics that resemble in many ways both together. Thus, the higher forms of Matter begin to exhibit characteristics of response, such as increased conductivity, responsiveness to stimuli, such as heat and cold, pressure and stress that presage the responses we observe in life.
