The Subconscient Basis of Our Individual Being, Part 3 · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  There are Realms that operate under different rules or laws
• 0:05
  than what we have come to expect here.
• 0:08
  Our Earthly life is a complex amalgam of physical, vital,
• 0:13
  mental and psychic Consciousness, and this mixture
• 0:18
  implies that none of these are able to express themselves in
• 0:22
  the purest sense of their own terms of existence and action.
• 0:26
  There are however Realms where these powers are native.
• 0:30
  And Us have their complete expression without compromise.
• 0:35
  The physical body acts as a barrier, a restraint and a
• 0:39
  protection from the direct operation of any of these other
• 0:43
  levels the nearest Realm of the physical, is the vital.
• 0:48
  There are numerous accounts of individuals who have left their
• 0:52
  body and traveled, in what they call the astral realm which is a
• 0:56
  vital world, the powers operative there.
• 1:00
  And their force of action means that the individual must
• 1:04
  exercise tremendous caution to avoid injury.
• 1:09
  It is not however, solely a concern.
• 1:12
  When an individual travels outside the body to the vital
• 1:15
  realm, rather the forces of the vital realm also infiltrate, and
• 1:21
  Infuse themselves in various ways into the physical reality.
• 1:26
  We inhabit. In these cases, they may provoke
• 1:30
  Actions were responses that feed their hunger just as every being
• 1:36
  has its own Natural Food. Source in the vital realm, the
• 1:40
  food is made up of vital energies and emotional
• 1:43
  reactions. Some beings act in this world to
• 1:47
  farm humans for their food source in the form of intense
• 1:51
  energy releases whether in the form of anger, hatred lust,
• 1:56
  desire, greed, hunger, Etc, Most of this takes place through
• 2:02
  suggestions or pressures placed in the subconscious layers of
• 2:05
  our being. And then as these get triggered,
• 2:09
  the vital beings harvest. The forces they were seeking,
• 2:14
  this adds another issue on top of our genetic ancestral
• 2:18
  inheritance, and the influence of the society and our peers, on
• 2:23
  our thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, the mother notes,
• 2:30
  quote, If that were the end of the problem, what could yet come
• 2:34
  out of the mess. But there is a complication this
• 2:38
  terrestrial world, this human world is constantly invaded by
• 2:42
  the forces of the neighboring. World, that is of the vital
• 2:45
  world. The subtler region, beyond the
• 2:48
  fourfold earth atmosphere consisting of the four
• 2:52
  principles, physical vital, mental, and psychic.
• 2:55
  And this vital World which is not under the influence of the
• 2:59
  psychic forces or the psychic Consciousness is essentially a
• 3:03
  world of ill-will of disorder disequilibrium.
• 3:08
  Indeed of all the most Anti Divine things one.
• 3:11
  Could imagine this vital world is constantly, penetrating, the
• 3:18
  physical world and being much more subtle than the physical.
• 3:23
  It is very often quite imperceptible.
• 3:25
  Except to a few rare individuals.
• 3:28
  There are entities beings Wills, various kinds of individualities
• 3:34
  in that world who have all kinds of intentions and make use of
• 3:39
  every opportunity either to amuse themselves.
• 3:42
  If they are small beings or to do harm and create disorder, if
• 3:47
  they are beings with a greater capacity, And the latter have a
• 3:52
  very considerable power of penetration and suggestion.
• 3:56
  And wherever there is the least opening, the least Affinity they
• 4:00
  rush in for, it is a game, which Delights them besides.
• 4:05
  They are very thirsty or hungry for certain human, vital
• 4:08
  vibrations, which for them are a rare dish.
• 4:11
  They love to feed upon and so their game lies and exciting
• 4:16
  pernicious movements in man. So that man May emanate these
• 4:20
  forces And they'd be able to feed on them just as they please
• 4:25
  all movements of anger, violence.
• 4:27
  Passion desire. All these things which make you
• 4:30
  abruptly throw off certain energies from yourself.
• 4:34
  Project them from yourself, are exactly what these entities of
• 4:39
  the vital world like best for. As I have said, they enjoy them
• 4:44
  like a Sumptuous dish. Now, their tactics are simple,
• 4:49
  they send you a little Chin. A little impulse, the small
• 4:53
  vibration, which enters deep into you and through contagion
• 4:58
  or sympathy. Awakens in you.
• 5:01
  The vibration necessary to make you throw off the force, they
• 5:05
  want to absorb And quote, reference SRI aurobindo, and the
• 5:10
  mother living within the yoga approach to psychological health
• 5:15
  and growth. Disturbances of the subconscient
