Transcript
- 0:01Fear opens up Pathways for whatever is feared to enter the
- 0:06being, as it creates the vibrational link between the
- 0:11individual and the feared event or circumstance.
- 0:15Fear also opens holes in the vital envelope or aura that
- 0:20helps protect the individual from Catching illnesses.
- 0:24We have all heard of instances where doctors wade into a
- 0:28contagious environment without fear, and are able to remain
- 0:32healthy while treating innumerable sick, individuals
- 0:36fear, that us is part of the mechanism that spreads disease
- 0:40and can help create the development of pandemics.
- 0:44This is not to minimize the virulence of the disease, but to
- 0:49indicate another pathway for it to enter the being and overcome
- 0:54the immune strength, the fear need not be an overt mental
- 0:59reaction or even a vital reaction in order to be
- 1:02operative. The body itself can respond with
- 1:06fear at the cellular level. Many people have experienced the
- 1:11phenomenon of an uncontrolled reaction in the body.
- 1:15When a circumstance occurs that reminds the body of past
- 1:18traumatic events? For instance, if one had a bad
- 1:23experience with a doctor or a hospital, one will have an
- 1:26automatic reaction. The next time one goes to a
- 1:29doctor or hospital it even has a name White Coat Syndrome.
- 1:35The blood pressure will go up the pulse increases the
- 1:39breathing becomes more irregular.
- 1:42All while the Mind emotions and conscious vital parts are at
- 1:47peace with the situation or even Supporting the need for the
- 1:51visit. These reactions represent a
- 1:55release of past trauma held in the cells of the body into a
- 2:00current circumstance and are not generally subject to conscious
- 2:04control at a certain point in the yogic process, the work must
- 2:10proceed to the cellular level and begin to adjust the very
- 2:14way, the body reacts to circumstances as long as we hold
- 2:19the standpoint of being a body rather than a Being taking and
- 2:24using a body for its own purposes.
- 2:27These automatic bodily reactions will find a basis for acceptance
- 2:32and thus, be able to recur. Underlying, all of this is an
- 2:37existential fear of death, which must eventually be overcome in
- 2:43order to accomplish the shift to the spiritual consciousness.
- 2:48The mother addresses this issue with some considerations based
- 2:52on her own insight and experience.
- 2:55The mother notes quote, you must not fear, most of your troubles
- 3:00come from fear. In fact, 90% of illnesses are
- 3:05the result of the sub-continent fear of the body.
- 3:09In the ordinary consciousness of the body, there is a more or
- 3:13less hidden anxiety about the consequences of the slightest
- 3:17physical disturbance. It can be translated by these
- 3:21words of doubt about the future and what will happen?
- 3:26It is this anxiety that must be checked.
- 3:29Indeed, this anxiety is a lack of confidence.
- 3:33In the divine, grace, the unmistakable sign that the
- 3:37consecration is not Complete and perfect.
- 3:42As a practical means of overcoming this subcontinent
- 3:45fear each time, that something of it comes to the surface.
- 3:49The more enlightened part of the being must impress on the body
- 3:53than necessity of an entire trust.
- 3:56In the divine's, grace, the certitude that this grace is
- 4:00always working for the best in our self, as well as in all and
- 4:05the determination to submit entirely and unreservedly to the
- 4:10divine's will The body must know and be convinced that its
- 4:15Essence is divine. And that if no obstacle is put
- 4:19in the way of the divine's working, nothing can harm us.
- 4:24This process must be steadily repeated, until all recurrence
- 4:28of fear is stopped. And then even if the illness
- 4:32succeeds in making its appearance its strength and
- 4:36duration will be considerably diminished until it is
- 4:39definitively conquered. And quote, reference SRI
- 4:44aurobindo in the mother living within the yoga approached.
