Latest / Sri Aurobindo Studies / The Mental and Vital Formation May Transfer Into a Next Lifetime Under Certain Conditions
Transcript
- 0:02There are phenomena that are inexplicable under our normal
- 0:05understanding of life and death, the body dissolves.
- 0:10Certainly, and the vital being and mental dispersed soon
- 0:14thereafter and return into their native Plains yet.
- 0:19We find that occasionally. It seems like a particular
- 0:23understanding or capacity has been continued as if from an
- 0:29earlier life. And we have to explore how this
- 0:33may occur. The phenomenon of The
- 0:37Reincarnation of the high Lamas of Tibet such as the Dalai Lama
- 0:42who are in fact, located and identified by their clear
- 0:45Affinity to and memory of physical tools or things they
- 0:50used in the prior lifetime. Gives us an insight to a facet
- 0:55of existence. That goes beyond our normal
- 0:58perception and which occurs in highly evolved and advanced
- 1:03Souls, who are able to organize, their Consciousness, and their
- 1:07mental, and vital powers in a very high degree such that they
- 1:13can hold together Beyond Death. We also note that sometimes a
- 1:18child is born with capacities that simply were not possible to
- 1:22be acquired and learned fresh in that infants, short life, when
- 1:28we hear of great composers such as Mozart or Beethoven and their
- 1:33exploits, in the musical realm at such an early stage.
- 1:37It becomes clear that this capacity has been brought
- 1:41forward somehow from a past development.
- 1:45There are also documented instances where an individual
- 1:48may know a language other than one from the land where they
- 1:52were born or may have clear memories of places people and
- 1:57events that occurred in a past time and place these things.
- 2:03Make it clear that in some cases, all be it.
- 2:06Rarely the mental or vital formation of one lifetime is
- 2:11able to survive death and continue in some fashion in a A
- 2:15new life and individuality. The mother notes quote when it
- 2:22has become an almost completely formed and already very
- 2:26conscious. Being it presides over the
- 2:29formation of the new body and usually through an inner
- 2:33influence it, chooses the elements and the substance,
- 2:37which will form its body in such a way that the body has adapted
- 2:42to the needs of its new experience.
- 2:45But this is at a rather Advanced stage and later when it is fully
- 2:50formed and returns to Earth, with the idea of service of
- 2:54collective help and participation in the Divine
- 2:58work, then it is able to bring to the body in formation,
- 3:03certain elements of the mind and vital from previous lives which
- 3:09having been organized and impregnated with psychic forces.
- 3:12In previous lives could be Curved and consequently can
- 3:17participate in the general progress, but this is at a very,
- 3:22very Advanced stage. When the psychic is fully
- 3:27developed and very conscious when it becomes a conscious
- 3:31instrument of the Divine will it organizes the vital and the mind
- 3:36in such a way that they to participate in the general
- 3:40Harmony and can be preserved. A high degree of development
- 3:46allows at least some parts of the mental and vital beings to
- 3:50be preserved in spite of the dissolution of the body.
- 3:55If, for instance, some parts mental or vital of the human
- 4:00activity, have been particularly developed these elements of the
- 4:04mind and vital are maintained even in their form, in the form
- 4:09of the activity, which has been fully organized As for example,
- 4:15in highly intellectual people who have particularly developed
- 4:19their brains, the mental part of their being keeps this structure
- 4:25and is preserved in the form of an organized brain which has its
- 4:29own life and can be kept unchanged until a future life.
