Illness and the Vital Sheath

There are historical examples of individuals who were caught in the middle of a major epidemic, such as the plague, who worked daily among the infected populace, yet failed to become ill. Invariably we can see that they maintained a strong vital envelope, or aura, around themselves and never accepted the suggestion of the contagious illness. There are also examples of those who maintained this strength for some time, but got worn down, and through stress and exhaustion, weakened their vital sheath sufficiently to eventually succumb to the disease.

Distinguishing and Addressing Undivine and Antidivine Forces

There is a real difference in motivation and intention between what may be considered to be ignorant responses, and those that are malignant. Seekers face a difficulty or some resistance in the exte al nature constantly. For the most part, this resistance is due to the long embedded habits and instincts and trained responses embedded in the mental, vital and physical nature.

The Jivatman, the Soul and the Evolutionary Process Through Birth and Death

The soul makes choices along the way and in so doing, it builds up the psychic being as it grows, evolves and passes through a series of births and deaths of the physical existence. The Jivatman represents the Divine Consciousness presiding over each individual formation within the manifestation and remains unattached to the specific results of any specific decision made in the individual lifetime, but remains fixed on the larger divine intention in the manifestation.

The Development of the Powers of the Body

For the seekers who wish to depart the creation through unification with the Supreme, the body is often considered to be an obstacle, something that needs a certain amount of begrudging attention in order to allow the meditation to take place uninterruptedly. These seekers prefer to give as little attention as possible to the body, do not trouble about its health and well-being, aside from having the ability to enter the meditative state and maintain it.

Addressing the Contradictions Between the Spiritual Consciousness and the Exte al Body-Life-Mind Complex

We have numerous historical anecdotes about individuals who were creative and productive in their own field, but who had elements of their being that seemingly could not hold the creative force easily and devoted into various forms of dissipation when they were not directly engaged in their creative pursuits. Many of these anecdotes relate to great artists in one field or another, painters, actors, musicians, composers, etc. It is apparent from their creative output that they were able to receive and communicate a great power of inspiration.

No Man Is An Island

We are rarely conscious of the constant interchange taking place on the vital level of our being. Vital vibrations are constantly active in the world and all beings wind up being exposed to them and absorbing them. Those who live in more isolated locations tend to have less direct and intense exposure, simply because many of these vital forces are weak or tend to disperse over time and distance, or lose their intensity. Those who live in the midst of dense urban environments are subjected to all manner of vital forces that are constantly active, and which bombard them from all sides.

The Basis for Developing the Silence of the Mind

In today’s world, we tend to value those processes of mind, life and body which focus on the elements of success in the outer life. We educate children to remember facts of the past, to learn basic mathematics, and rules of grammar and spelling. We train students on how to utilize and implement various forms of technology into their lives, or to gain certain practical skills to maintain and install the powers that drive our society and economy.

The Supreme Power That Creates, Manifests, Sustains and Guides the Universal Creation

We go through our daily lives, busy ourselves with earning a living, supporting our families, maintaining our bodies, entertaining ourselves, arguing, fighting, gossiping, and following up on hobbies or passions we are engaged in. We close ourselves into a narrow and limited existence and feel content that we are doing something important, or useful, or at least, whiling away our time between birth and death, with no further meaning. We may feel helplessly caught up in a life we do not understand, or alte atively, we may feel powerful and proud in our accomplishments in our lifetime.

The Need and Benefit of the Power of Concentration

“By askesis do thou seek to know the Ete al, for concentration in thought is the Ete al.” Thus spoke Varuna to Bhrigu in the Taittiriya Upanishad [Sri Aurobindo’s translation]. Swami Vivekananda’s lectures on Raja Yoga, expounding the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with an extensive commentary, are a textbook on developing the science of concentration and the benefits of such development. For those who eventually recognise the chaotic and undisciplined state of the mental space, the practice of Raja Yoga can be a tremendous benefit.

Exceeding the Limits Set By Our Minds to Harness Powers of Health and Fitness

We generally remain locked within the framework of our past training and experience. We create walls around ourselves that circumscribe what we believe we can accomplish, what we can do, what is ‘real’ and what is possible. As long as we remain primarily fixated on the past, we limit our opportunity for growth and development in the future. We deny possibilities based on never having experienced them previously.

Harnessing the Body’s Innate Powers for the Transformation of Consciousness

We tend to overlook or disregard the capacity of the body and its ‘body consciousness’ to aid in the spiritual quest. Each element of the being, the mind, the vital nature, and the body, has its own consciousness and capacity for response. Each element also can either be an aid or an obstacle to the development of the spiritual nature, depending on how we treat it and interact with it.

How to Make Progress in the Practice of Karma Yoga

We tend to be carried away by the exte al focus in the work we are doing, and thus, the presence of mind needed to remember and offer is set in the background of our awareness. If we reflect on the state of consciousness we experience when focused on some exte al work, we soon find that we can be almost totally absorbed, and in fact, that work is generally best accomplished through what may be called a “one-pointed” concentration. So how do we convert this work into karma yoga when we are not paying attention at the time of the work to the spiritual focus?

Adwaita Vedanta (Mayavada) and Integral Non-Dualism: Contrasting Interpretations of the Nature of Reality

“One without a second.” This Upanishadic dictum forms the basis of Shankara’s philosophy of Adwaita, Vedantic non-dualism. The seeker leaves behind the illusion of the world to merge into the pure, transcendent Oneness of the Brahman. Sri Aurobindo proposes non-dualism, however, that adds the second great Upanishadic dictum “All this is the Brahman” to create an integral non-dualism that does not treat the world as something unreal to be abandoned to achieve realisation.

Aspiration and the Witness Consciousness

When spiritual seekers attempt to implement the technique of the separation of Purusha and Prakriti, they generally go through a stage where they try to utilize the mind to observe. The mind, however, is not the instrument for the actual shift to the standpoint of the Purusha; in fact, the mind is one of the elements that is to be observed by the Purusha.

The Awakening of the Yoga-Shakti and Its Unification With the Divine Consciousness

Sri Aurobindo describes the very traditional understanding of the awakening of the yogic force in the being and its ascent upwards from the Muladhara Chakra to the crown of the head where it meets the Divine Consciousness and thereby brings into the being the higher force to transform the life and the nature. He points out elsewhere that the Force can also enter from above and work its way downward, and that method may prove safer for the seeker.

The Mental Will and Its Influence on the Health and Well-Being of the Body

By now most people have heard of the ‘placebo effect’. Yet, they have not gone into the significance of what this implies. Studies have shown that as much as 30% of a group given an ‘inert’ treatment have similar healing outcomes to those given an actual targeted treatment. The individual given the placebo does not know he has received an inert treatment. The mind of the individual adopted the sense of being aided and undertook to create a will to heal.

The Action of Imagination in the Manifestation of Thought into Exte al Circumstances

There are several points worth considering with respect to utilizing imagination and some of the unanticipated issues that are based primarily in the lag between formulation and accomplishment of the imagined form. Visualization and use of the imagination can act to turn a vague idea or sense into something that can realize itself in action. Every thought form moves out into the world and tries to effectuate itself. If it is weak and transient, the impact may be slight.

The Seven Rays of the Infinite

Sri Aurobindo starts the review of the Knowledge and the Ignorance by reminding us of the sevenfold principles of existence: “In our scrutiny of the seven principles of existence it was found that they are one in their essential and fundamental reality: for if even the matter of the most material universe is nothing but a status of being of Spirit made an object of sense, evisaged by the Spirit’s own consciousness as the stuff of its forms, much more must the life-force that constitutes itself into forms of Matter, and the mind-consciousness that throws itself out as Life, and the Supermind th

The One Essential Thing in Spiritual Development is an Inward Focus of the Awareness on the Divine Presence

In the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, v. 54, Arjuna asks Sri Krishna how to recognise the enlightened man. Sri Aurobindo translates: “What is the sign of the man in Samadhi whose intelligence is firmly fixed in wisdom? How does the sage of settled understanding speak, how sit, how walk?” Sri Aurobindo goes on to explain: “Arjuna, voicing the average human mind, asks for some outward, physical, practically disce ible sign of Samadhi.

Work and Spiritual Development

The goal of integral yoga is both a shift of standpoint from the individual egoistic view to the divine standpoint, and the transformation of human nature to express the divine force as it manifests new phases of the evolution of consciousness in the world. This involves thus not only a subjective inner change of the mental nature, but a change in the vital and physical expression of the being in interaction with the outer world.

Programming and Reprogramming of the Being Through Application of Will

Everything we do represents an action of will. Even inaction winds up being a ‘willed’ action. We are provided a choice at each moment as to how to respond to circumstances, pressures, events, opportunities that lie before us. In many cases, however, we do not recognise the power of choice as we feel compelled to respond in a particular way, through instinct, habit, or conditioned, trained behaviour.

The Sublimation and Transformation of the Sexual Energy

Western psychology has been fixated on the idea of sexual energy being at the root of all creativity. Beginning with Freud they have discussed the sublimation of sexual energy into creative pathways of art, and intellectual effort. The sexual energy stems from the root chakra and provides a powerful and basic force however it gets applied. Sublimation, if we examine the concept carefully, represents the shutting down or constricting of the expression of this energy in its original native form at the base of the being as direct sexual expression.

The Manifestation of the Supermind Level of Consciousness As the Next Evolutionary Phase

Each successive plane of consciousness has a native action in its own domain and then, as it enters the material plane, it has to modify its action to conform to the limitations of the other principles. Thus, the native action of the vital plane is freer and more fluid and powerful than when the vital force manifests in the physical. Similarly, the native action of the mind is much more powerful when not limited by the instruments and incapacities or specific impulsions of the physical and vital nature as manifested here.

To Become a Conscious Instrument of the Divine Action

In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna explains to Arjuna, at some length, the process of the universal manifestation and how individuals are essentially driven by their nature in relation to the larger forces of the manifestation itself to act in certain ways. For most of these individuals, the action takes place as a result of the forces of the exte al vital nature. They are essentially subject to the machinery of Nature through the operation of the three Gunas.

Immersion in the Exte al Nature: the Roots of Atheism and Agnosticism

Many people profess to believe in the existence of God based on the teachings of their religion. Because the belief is based solely on a teaching, rather than actual experience that would support this belief, they may, in many cases, not take their faith in God seriously enough to actually abide by the rules, laws and commandments set forth for regulating their behaviour in their lifetime. The Judeo-Christian belief in God and the 10 Commandments is a case in point. Many professed believers still commit adultery, steal or kill!

Transitioning From Mental Consciousness to Spiritual Consciousness While Controlling the Vital Nature

The mind provides a filter to manage and control the vital forces to a certain degree. While it is not perfect, without it, an individual can become subject to whatever vital energy is active and rising up within him. At the same time, the mind acts as a limitation on the ability of the individual to shift the standpoint to the spiritual level of existence. Those who take up spiritual practices, thus, have to navigate the issue of how to move beyond the mind, while not simultaneously becoming a victim of the resurgence of vital energies no longer restrained by the mental control.

The Supramental Force and the Quest for the Conquest of Disease, Decay and Death

In his book Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda describes the ability of various yoga practitioners to extend the capacities of the body far beyond what we consider to be normal, including prolonging the life span dramatically. One example he described was of Babaji, a yogi who reported lived and acted in the world for hundreds of years. This example was not an isolated case, as other yogis have been reported to extend life span or cure disease. Sri Aurobindo related a tale about his brother who at one point was desperately ill.

Mental Formations Can Be Enhanced and Empowered by Vital Force of Desire

For those who can see vital energies and auras, the driving forces of any individual are quite easy to observe. One can observe this frequently in nightclubs where sexual energies are high and those with particularly powerful formations in this direction can be seen virtually radiating or oozing sexual energy. They choose their intended partner and direct their energy there, and more often than not, there is a response and the two meet and carry out their desired activity.

Heightening the Force of Consciousness is the Trend of Evolution

“All evolution is in essence a heightening of the force of consciousness in the manifest being so that it may be raised into the greater intensity of what is still unmanifest, from matter into life, from life into mind, from the mind into the spirit. It is this that must be the method of our growth from a mental into a spiritual and supramental manifestation, out of a still half-animal humanity into a divine being and a divine living.

The Spiritual Experience, Not the Mental Idea, Is the Focus of the Spiritual Practitioner

We have the tendency to get caught up in trying to capture a line of thought or to verbalize a perception or idea. When we have an experience of the spiritual realms, the first thing we want to do is to create a thought-form to explain it, to organise it, and to be able to describe it. The very process of doing this kind of mental gymnastics tends to crush out much of the native force of the experience. It loses its impetus the more we try to capture it with thought or word. This is in fact what has dried up the sense of many religious doctrines. They likely started out as some kind of powerfu

Comparing Current General State of Human Consciousness With More Evolved States, Part 1 Unconsciousness Versus Increasing Consciousness

Matter has to become more responsive, more flexible, less dense, in order to carry out the demands of the Life-Energy.

Making the Vital Into a Willing Collaborator in the Transformation of Life

After all the attempts to bring the vital being under some kind of control, it may seem like it is an impossible task! The vital has its fixed habits of fulfillment and satisfaction and tends generally to want to continue its normal modes of action. It is, however, not a thankless task and there are solutions. We can see the potential when we look at the methods used to obtain willing cooperation from others, as well as from the animal kingdom.

Thought Forms Originate and Are Based in the Mental Plane Creating the Noosphere Which Acts Upon the Biosphere and Geosphere of the Exte al World

Physical forces take physical forms. Vital forces take vital forms. Even though they may act upon the physical existence of the being, they are not physical forces. Similarly, mental forces take mental forms on the mental plane. Once again, they may act upon vital forces and physical forces, but they are based in the mental plane. The physical world operates within what we call the geosphere (comprising the land mass), the hydrosphere (comprising the water element on earth and the atmosphere (comprising the air element).

Understanding Planes of Existence or Planes of Consciousness

We reflect on the evolution of consciousness, how Life evolves out of Matter and Mind evolves out of Life in Matter. Nothing can evolve that has not been previously involved, just as a tree can develop out of an acorn, because the genetic coding is 'involved' in that seed and under the proper conditions, it carries out the involved instruction set. This leads to the idea that in order for these levels of consciousness to 'involve' into Matter, they must exist somewhere independently.

The Witness Consciousness

When the seeker first becomes aware of the practice of separating the witness consciousness from the active exte al nature, he may naturally take his stance in the mental awareness and begin to observe his actions and reactions from the mental standpoint. This generally yields some kind of analytical process and inner dialogue, similar to what an individual may do in watching a motion picture and commenting on the actions of the characters and the story line that is unfolding.

The Nature and Power of Peace

In the context of yogic psychology, peace is not the absence of disturbance, just as in the exte al world, peace is not the absence of war. We generally define peace as a negative attribute. As the seeker gains depth of experience, however, it becomes clear that peace is ultimately a very positive attribute. The seeker can palpably experience peace as it reaches various parts of his being. Peace in the mind can be experienced as a serene, tranquil receptivity, like a lake without any ripples in it, readfy to accept the divine wisdom and power that illuminates the mind.

Peace Is the True Remedy

As long as we are getting upset or disturbed, the exte al personality is still reacting to things and we have not attained the true standpoint of the witness consciousness. Thus, we experience difficulties and respond based on the Guna that is predominant at the moment. We may react with happiness if things seem to be working according to our expectation, frustration or anger if we feel like we are not getting what we want, or despondency or depression if we lose hope or feel like our efforts are being rebuffed.

Two Introductory Methods to Develop Remembrance in Work

Development of the inner attitude of dedication, and remembrance of the Divine in work is a progressive process. Initially, most people are unable to actively keep the focus and remembrance while concurrently concentrating on the work at hand. Sri Aurobindo introduces two methods to begin to integrate the aspiration and focus on the Divine into the daily work that one undertakes. These initial steps prepare for the deeper integration of work and consecration that come thereafter.

Understanding the Concept of Wideness in the Integral Yoga

The Vedic Rishis spoke of Satyam, Ritam, Brihat, ‘the truth, the right, the vast’. These represent psychological states into which the yogic practitioner can enter in order to embody the truth of the Brahman. The vast consciousness takes us out of the human egoistic standpoint into an awareness, which is a palpable experience in consciousness, of the divine standpoint. The mind tends to discount these as some kind of philosophical orientation, but they are in fact descriptions of actual states of consciousness.

The Need for Preparation of the Being Before Exploring Occult Worlds and Domains

When an individual leaves the relative safety of the physical being and traverses other domains and interacts with other beings, including vital beings both beneficent and maleficent, he is faced with the reality that the vibrations which he carries with him, or that resonate with him, draw to him beings and forces that are themselves able to respond on those levels. Thus, if an individual goes into a vital domain with all kinds of desire, passions or fears, he is bound to interact with beings who either feed upon such vibrations or who act to stimulate such vibrations.

The Path to the Attainment of Integral Self-Knowledge

In The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo describes at some length what he calls ‘the refusal of the ascetic’. This refusal is caused by the focus on the attainment of the Supreme by disregarding or even eliminating the relationship of the seeker to the life of the exte al world and society. He eschews all objectives or goals that do not lead directly to the Supreme. In so doing, he necessarily treats the material world, the vital powers and the mind as a form of distraction, an illusion, or at best, of being of lesser importance.

Spiritual Sadhana Varies by Individual Based on Temperament and Situation of the Sadhak

Not everyone can achieve spiritual progress using exactly the same methods or disciplines. The “one size fits all” approach tried by many religious or spiritual communities of the past only works if their members are all basically similar in temperament and their spiritual development.
