The Psychic Being Senses the Divine Presence and Guidance · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:00
  Everything we experience is sensed or felt by some developed
• 0:04
  capacity or part of the being. Vibrations that occur within the
• 0:09
  ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum that human beings can
• 0:12
  perceive are identified as light, colours, sound, etcetera.
• 0:19
  We have senses of taste, touch, and smell similarly tuned to
• 0:23
  specific ranges of perception. The sensation occurs.
• 0:29
  The vibration moves through the nerve channels to the
• 0:31
  appropriate location in our being and is then interpreted so
• 0:36
  that we may say that we can see, taste, touch, hear, or smell
• 0:42
  something. There are additional senses that
• 0:45
  work more subtly. Some individuals, for instance,
• 0:49
  are able to Orient themselves as to the direction.
• 0:52
  Others can measure weight accurately.
• 0:55
  Still others have an innate time sense and ability to wake.
• 0:59
  According to that time sense, the number of relatively
• 1:03
  unexplored or unrecognized senses exceeds those that we
• 1:08
  acknowledge. There are also more subtle
• 1:12
  senses that appear to be based in the mind, which are gaining
• 1:16
  more and more credence and understanding as exploration in
• 1:20
  this realm expands. Some can intuit the thoughts of
• 1:24
  others. Some can project thought forms,
• 1:28
  some can acknowledge consciously the emotional vibrations of
• 1:32
  others, or act to soothe or modify such vibrations.
• 1:37
  Still others have powers we might call clairvoyance, clear
• 1:41
  audience, out of body travel, remote viewing, et cetera.
• 1:47
  While relatively rare and frequently looked down upon as
• 1:51
  being out of the mainstream, it must be noted that such senses
• 1:56
  have been gaining credibility the more they are studied and
• 1:59
  tested under various circumstances.
• 2:04
  With respect to the Divine Presence or Divine Force, there
• 2:08
  are those who acknowledge the Presence and those who do not.
• 2:12
  Just as there are variances in the ability of individuals to
• 2:16
  experience external sensations or to recognize and utilize the
• 2:21
  relatively rare senses that relate to the external world,
• 2:25
  there are also those individuals who have a developed, awakened
• 2:30
  and conscious soul entity, the psychic being.
• 2:34
  The role of the psychic being is to be tuned to, connected, and
• 2:40
  responsive to the divine. Such individuals are thus able
• 2:45
  to know when that presence is active within them and actively
• 2:50
  work to increase their receptivity and responsiveness
• 2:53
  to it, Triorobindo notes quote. The truth for you is to feel the
• 3:00
  Divine in you open to the Mother, and work for the Divine
• 3:04
  till you are aware of Her. In all your activities.
• 3:08
  There must be the consciousness of the Divine Presence in your
• 3:11
  heart and the Divine guidance in your acts.
• 3:16
  This the psychic being can easily, swiftly, deeply feel if
• 3:21
  it is fully awake. Once the psychic has felt it, it
• 3:25
  can spread to the mental and vital also.
