  When we think about what qualities within ourselves, our
• 0:05
  aids to achieving conscious contact with the psychic being
• 0:09
  the sole. We would likely not named
• 0:12
  enthusiasm as one of them. The mother, however, makes the
• 0:18
  case for this quality. Those things that motivate us to
• 0:23
  learn to expand our capacities to go beyond our current limits
• 0:29
  to reach for something greater and higher than what we are now
• 0:34
  are the key to the kind of evolutionary progress that we
• 0:37
  are attempting to achieve. The motivating force may work in
• 0:42
  the mind and the emotions in the vital level or even on the
• 0:47
  physical plane each Dividual has some essential drive that works
• 0:54
  to push him along and this takes on an aspect unique to that
• 0:59
  person. When something grabs our focus.
• 1:04
  When we feel motivated and move to take action, we open up inner
• 1:09
  Pathways to The Guiding and directing force behind our life
• 1:13
  and personality, enthusiasm is the sign of this drive as it
• 1:19
  takes, hold of our minds, our emotions, our Vital energies,
• 1:24
  and our physical persistence. A disciple inquires.
• 1:31
  Here it is. Written our one objective must
• 1:33
  be for the Divine himself to whom knowingly, or unknowingly
• 1:39
  something always aspires in our secret nature.
• 1:43
  What is this? Something which aspires the
• 1:47
  mother responds quote? It is a part of the being, which
• 1:51
  is not always the same in every one and which is instinctively
• 1:56
  open to the influence of the psychic.
• 1:59
  There is always one part sometimes, indeed, quite veiled
• 2:04
  of, which we are not conscious something in the being, which is
• 2:08
  turned to the psychic and receiving its influence.
• 2:12
  This is the intermediary between the psychic Consciousness and
• 2:16
  the external consciousness. It is not the same thing in
• 2:21
  everyone and each one. It is different.
• 2:24
  It is the point in his nature or character through which he can
• 2:28
  touch the psychic and where he can receive the psychic
• 2:32
  influence, it depends upon people for each one.
• 2:36
  It is different. Everyone has a point like this.
• 2:42
  You may also feel that there are certain things which suddenly
• 2:45
  push you lift. You above yourself open a kind
• 2:49
  of door upon something greater. It can be many things, and it
• 2:55
  depends upon each one's nature. It's the part of the being which
• 2:59
  enthuses over something. It is this capacity for
• 3:03
  enthusiasm. And quote, reference SRI
