The Subconscient and the Inconscient · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:02
  We are conscious and aware of forces and energies that operate
• 0:06
  within a certain specified range.
• 0:09
  Anything that falls outside that range whether above or below
• 0:15
  remains unseen and unknown to us?
• 0:18
  Even if the forces operative in those Superior, or inferior,
• 0:23
  ranges impact, our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and life
• 0:29
  Energies. We recognize that many
• 0:32
  operations of our lives. Our internal organs are
• 0:37
  basically self-regulating without conscious control or
• 0:41
  intervention by our self aware mental Consciousness.
• 0:45
  We do not for instance, regulate consciously, the oxygen uptake
• 0:50
  into the blood or its dissemination into the cells of
• 0:54
  the body. Nor do we regulate consciously,
• 0:58
  the energy production functions of the cells Beyond these
• 1:03
  organic functions. However, there are also levels
• 1:06
  of consciousness that store up Impressions and encapsulate
• 1:11
  reactions without conscious mental control.
• 1:15
  Either various stimuli can then trigger responses from these
• 1:20
  levels that may surprise us with their suddenness and intensity
• 1:26
  Sometimes these subconscious elements arise in the state of
• 1:29
  dreaming, and we can get a brief view into what is hidden in
• 1:33
  those layers of our being for the most part.
• 1:37
  However, they remain obscure and impact us without are
• 1:42
  consciously. Being aware of what is there and
• 1:45
  what they are actually able to effectuate in our lives and
• 1:49
  reactions. We tend to also believe that
• 1:53
  there is no consciousness in matter.
• 1:56
  Yet the only way for Consciousness to appear out of
• 1:59
  matter, is for it to evolve, they're from.
• 2:03
  And thus, we can understand that Consciousness is encoded
• 2:08
  involved in material nature, just as the tree is encoded in
• 2:13
  the purely material seed from which it develops.
• 2:18
  Dr. Dalal writes quote, the subconscious in is what is below
• 2:23
  the mind and conscious life. Just as the subliminal is what
• 2:28
  is behind the outer Consciousness.
• 2:32
  Whereas the subliminal is an inner and larger Consciousness
• 2:35
  compared to the surface Consciousness, the subconscious
• 2:40
  is a Nether and inferior diminished consciousness.
• 2:44
  SRI aurobindo observes quote, the sub-continent covers, the
• 2:49
  purely physical and vital elements of our constitution, of
• 2:53
  bodily being unmeant alized, unobserved by the Mind
• 2:58
  uncontrolled by it, in their action.
• 3:01
  It can be held to include the dumb occult Consciousness
• 3:05
  Dynamic, but not sent by us, which operates in the cells and
• 3:11
  nerves and all the Boreal stuff and adjust their life process
• 3:18
  and automatic responses. It covers also.
• 3:22
  Those lowest functionings of submerged since mind, which are
• 3:26
  more operative in the animal and plant life. in our Evolution, we
• 3:32
  have over past the need of any large organized action of this
• 3:35
  element but it remains submerged and obscure Lee at work below,
• 3:41
  our conscious nature this obscure activity extends to a
• 3:46
  hidden and hooded mental substratum into which past
• 3:51
  Impressions and all that is rejected from the surface mind
• 3:55
  sink and remain there dormant and can surge up in sleep or in
• 4:01
  any absence of the mind, taking dream forms forms of mechanical,
• 4:07
  mind action or suggestion forms of automatic vital reaction or
• 4:11
  impulse forms of physical, abnormality, or nervous,
• 4:16
  perturbance forms of morbidity, disease, unbalanced, Out of the
• 4:23
  subconscious. We bring ordinarily so much to
• 4:26
  the surface as our waking since mind, and intelligence need for
• 4:31
  their purpose in. So bringing them up, we are not
• 4:35
  aware of their nature origin, operation and do not apprehend
• 4:41
  them in their own values, but by a translation into the values of
• 4:46
  our, waking human sense and intelligence, but the risings of
• 4:50
  the subconscious, it's a Effects upon the mind and body are
• 4:55
  mostly automatic uncalled for and involuntary.
• 5:01
  For we have no knowledge and therefore no control of the sub
• 5:05
  content. Dr. Dalal continues, quote below
• 5:11
  the subconscient is the incontinent, the nethermost
• 5:15
  plane of Consciousness. It is not really devoid of
• 5:19
  Consciousness as the term might imply, but a level of
• 5:23
  Consciousness, which represents a total involution of
• 5:26
  Consciousness, the inverse reproduction of the Supreme
• 5:30
  super conscience as SRI aurobindo describes it.
