Focusing One's Attention on the Forces One Wants to Manifest · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  The human being receives vibrations from the universe.
• 0:05
  They are either accepted and allowed to act upon the
• 0:08
  individual or rejected at some level of the being with minimal
• 0:13
  impact other than the pressure on the sheath or aura that feels
• 0:18
  the vibration. If the vibration is accepted, it
• 0:23
  can not only effectuate changes in patterns of thoughts,
• 0:27
  emotions, feelings or physical sense of well-being, but it can
• 0:32
  be weakened or enhanced by the way the individual responds.
• 0:38
  Each vibration moves at its own wavelength and the receiving
• 0:43
  capacity of the individual is stratified according to the
• 0:47
  various chakras or energy centres, each of which responds
• 0:51
  to specific ranges of vibration. Thus, the more physical, slower,
• 0:58
  denser vibrations tend to impact the first or second chakra.
• 1:03
  The more light and mobility the vibration has, the higher up the
• 1:07
  range of chakras it tends to be experienced and dealt with.
• 1:12
  At a certain point, the individual not only subjectively
• 1:16
  experiences the vibrations, but can either transmute them into a
• 1:20
  new form, intensify and retransmit them, or weaken them
• 1:26
  but still transmit them to others.
• 1:29
  That is why emotions, feelings, diseases, and even ideas and
• 1:36
  other formations are able to be communicated from one individual
• 1:41
  to another. We are able to tune our
• 1:44
  receptivity to the vibrational frequencies of the various
• 1:48
  chakras. If we tune to the first or
• 1:51
  second chakras, we become immersed in physical wants and
• 1:54
  needs, sexual energies, et cetera.
• 1:58
  If we tune to the heart center, we become receptive to emotions,
• 2:03
  including feelings of love and goodwill.
• 2:06
  If we tune to the 6th chakra, we gain powers of knowledge and
• 2:10
  will that are based there. The real work, then, is to
• 2:16
  continually remember to tune ourselves to the level we are
• 2:19
  trying to embody, and when we catch ourselves vibrating to a
• 2:23
  different frequency, moving that focus elsewhere.
• 2:28
  Looked at this way, everyone has the capacity to observe and
• 2:32
  attend to those vibrations that they are most willing to attune
• 2:36
  themselves to. Even if someone gets caught off
• 2:39
  guard and begins to vibrate to a frequency that contradicts the
• 2:43
  aspiration, it is possible to change the channel, so to speak,
• 2:48
  and free oneself from that energy.
• 2:52
  Shrioro Bindu observes quote. The way to get faith and all
• 2:56
  things else is to insist on having them and refuse to flag
• 3:01
  or despair or give up until one has them.
• 3:04
  It is the way by which everything has been got since
• 3:07
  this difficult earth began to have thinking and aspiring
• 3:11
  creatures upon it. It is to open always, always to
• 3:16
  the light and turn 1's back on the darkness.
• 3:20
  It is to refuse the voices that say persistently, you cannot,
• 3:25
  you shall not, you are incapable.
• 3:28
  You are the puppet of a dream, for these are the enemy voices.
• 3:33
  They cut one off from the result that was coming by their stride
• 3:37
  and clamour, and then triumphantly point to the
• 3:40
  barrenness of the result as a proof of their thesis.
• 3:44
  The difficulty of the endeavour is a known thing, but the
• 3:47
  difficult is not the impossible. It is the difficult that has
• 3:52
  always been accomplished, and the conquest of difficulties
• 3:56
  makes up all that is valuable in the earth's history.
• 4:01
  In the spiritual endeavour also it shall be so.
• 4:05
  You have only to set about resolutely slaying the Rakshasa,
• 4:09
  and the doors will open to you as they have done to many others
• 4:13
  who were held up by their own mind or vital nature.
