Worlds and Beings Exist Beyond What We Can Perceive With Our Physical Senses · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  Explorers of the world came across situations and beings
• 0:05
  with whom they had no prior contact and found some of them
• 0:09
  to be extremely dangerous, while others seem to be neutral or
• 0:13
  even positive. Over time, as the range of
• 0:18
  exploration increased, more previously unknown beings were
• 0:22
  encountered. All of this has occurred within
• 0:26
  the range of human perception until more recently, exploration
• 0:32
  took on a new meaning and humanity began to explore outer
• 0:36
  space and microscopic life in particular.
• 0:42
  The study, conducted under the extraordinary magnification
• 0:45
  powers of the electron microscope, propelled a new
• 0:49
  understanding of the life forms that abound unseen in our
• 0:54
  environment. These life forms can be either
• 0:57
  helpful and symbiotic to human beings or extremely harmful to
• 1:03
  our existence. As we explore outer space, we
• 1:08
  are beginning to see that certain meteorites, planets,
• 1:11
  moons, and star systems apparently have the building
• 1:15
  blocks of organic life, thus raising the expectation that
• 1:20
  eventually we will discover life forms in the physical universe
• 1:25
  outside our immediate Ken. It is not certain, however, that
• 1:30
  all beings function on the same biological basis or frequency
• 1:35
  levels that normally create the kind of physical forms we are
• 1:39
  conditioned to observe. We can appreciate that beings
• 1:43
  that are more subtle than physical human beings are both
• 1:47
  capable of existing and of interacting on some basis with
• 1:51
  human beings. To the extent that human
• 1:55
  individuals are able to enter into various other domains, such
• 1:59
  as some of the vital domains, as they undertake what is generally
• 2:04
  known as astral travel, there is a further opportunity for such
• 2:09
  interchange to occur. The weight of reporting by
• 2:14
  people throughout history and across the entire world, and
• 2:18
  people who have various types of out of body experiences, near
• 2:22
  death experiences, and encounters with beings or
• 2:25
  entities that interact with them, leads us to conclude that
• 2:30
  these things are real, even if not palpable to our external
• 2:35
  senses. As we develop greater
• 2:38
  sensitivity, As we gain better instrumentation in our
• 2:42
  scientific research. As we gain access to new powers
• 2:47
  of awareness through the evolutionary process, we can
• 2:51
  expect to be able to document and support this conclusion
• 2:56
  based on compounded experience over time.
• 3:00
  Every day, scientists are expanding their understanding of
• 3:04
  the nature of existence. The further they dive into
• 3:08
  matter, the more they conclude that energy and eventually
• 3:12
  consciousness are the stuff of existence and that matter is not
• 3:17
  actually self existent but a formation shaped by
• 3:21
  consciousness through the condensing of energy.
• 3:25
  Albert Einstein stated quote. One thing I have learned in a
• 3:29
  long life that all our science measured against reality is
• 3:34
  primitive and childlike. We still do not know one
• 3:40
  thousandth of 1% of what nature has revealed to us.
• 3:44
  It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our
• 3:48
  senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.
• 3:54
  End Quote. The mother observes quote.
• 3:58
  And there there are as many and even many more things to see and
• 4:04
  observe than in our poor little material world, which belongs to
• 4:08
  only one zone of this infinite graduation.
• 4:12
  You meet all sorts of things in these domains, and you need to
• 4:16
  make a study as profound, perhaps still more profound than
• 4:21
  in the physical world, to be able to know what is happening
• 4:25
  there, to have relations with the beings who live there.
• 4:31
  It is obvious that as one goes farther, as it were, from the
• 4:35
  material world, the forms and consciousness of those beings
• 4:39
  are of a purity, beauty, and perfection much higher than our
• 4:44
  ordinary physical forms. It is only in the nearest vital
• 4:49
  world, the one which is, so to say, mixed with our material
• 4:53
  life, though it lies beyond it, and there is a zone where the
• 4:57
  vital is no longer mixed with the material world.
• 5:01
  Of that material vital, one can say that in some of its aspects
• 5:05
  it is even uglier than things here, for it is filled with a
• 5:10
  bad will which is not counterbalanced by the presence
• 5:14
  of the psychic being, which in the physical world amends,
• 5:18
  corrects, puts, right, directs this bad will.
• 5:24
  But it is rather a limited zone, and as soon as one goes beyond
• 5:28
  it, one can find and meet things that are not favorable to human
• 5:31
  life beings, not on the same scale as human existence, but
• 5:37
  having their own beauty and grandeur, with whom one may
• 5:40
  establish relations which may become quite pleasant and even
• 5:45
  useful. End Quote reference.
