Transcript
- 0:01When we are fixed in the external consciousness and
- 0:04perceive things with the external senses, we treat
- 0:07material objects as solid. We do not see that they are
- 0:12actually energy that has been condensed to appear solid to us,
- 0:17while in fact they are a form of energy.
- 0:20Western scientists, however, for the last 90 to 100 years at
- 0:24least, have understood that matter is not real and that it
- 0:28is energy. More recently, scientists are
- 0:32beginning to discover that energy is actually a form of
- 0:36consciousness. What does all this have to do
- 0:39with how we perceive our lives? To the extent that we treat
- 0:44matter as real and solid, we do not undertake to see behind this
- 0:49apparent solidity to the interplay of vibratory forces
- 0:55that is actually taking place. We know that certain audible
- 1:00vibrations, such as certain notes expressed by certain opera
- 1:03singers, can shatter glass. We thus know that sound
- 1:08vibrations interact with material objects in a way that
- 1:11can break down the integrity of the object itself.
- 1:16Similarly, lasers, a concentrated form of light
- 1:20energy, can breakdown material forms, and they are now widely
- 1:25used in medicine to break up obstructions or even tumorous
- 1:29material in the body. Shamanic practitioners and some
- 1:35who engage in vision quests or utilize entheogenic psychoactive
- 1:40substances frequently report seeing the energetic patterns of
- 1:45the material substances, seeing their vibrations, and seeing the
- 1:50interchange of vibrations between beings and substances in
- 1:55their external environment. They can actually see the trees
- 1:59breathing and sending out energies and see lines of force
- 2:05radiating from everything. Those with psychic sensitivity
- 2:09can frequently see the aura that radiates around others and
- 2:14around material objects, and can sense the impact of those
- 2:18energies as they meet and either work to enhance or oppose the
- 2:24action of other energies. There are numerous accounts of
- 2:28yogis or practitioners of the occult sciences being able to
- 2:32perceive, manipulate, and change vibrational patterns and thereby
- 2:38effectuate results that elude the understanding of the
- 2:42material mind. Paramount's Yoganad, in his book
- 2:47Autobiography of a Yogi, recounts events of
- 2:50materialization of fruits, scents, vibhutiash, et cetera,
- 2:56by those who had gained insight and power of action in certain
- 2:59manipulation of the vibrational forces that lead to the
- 3:03formation of material objects. All of this is a preliminary
- 3:10basis for understanding the play of vibrations that takes place
- 3:14constantly within and around us as we interact with other
- 3:19beings, objects, and forces that are active in our lives.
- 3:24In many cases, without our observing or understanding them,
- 3:29there are not only vibrations of manifestation, but also those
- 3:33that cause dissolution. Each successive stage of
- 3:37consciousness vibrates at a different frequency, so that not
- 3:41only can there be dissonant vibrations occurring within one
- 3:45sphere, but vibrations from other spheres of activity can
- 3:50interact with and modify the other spheres.
- 3:54Thus, the advent of the vital plane into the material
- 3:58existence had serious consequences, some of which were
- 4:02disruptive to the status quo of the material plane.
- 4:07Also, the vital had conflicting drives or forces that interacted
- 4:12with one another, some to enhance, some to oppose the
- 4:16action of the other. When the mental vibrational
- 4:19field activated, it too had serious consequences not only
- 4:25for creating opposing vibrations on the mental plane, but also
- 4:30for the impact these have on the vital and physical planes.
- 4:35Thus, they are all in a state of disharmony and imbalance until
- 4:40set right. We may recognize something of
- 4:43this process in the creation of Symphony orchestras.
- 4:48Each of the instruments makes different vibrational patterns
- 4:52and sounds, and some play in different ranges of vibration or
- 4:56scales. Without guidance, the sound can
- 4:59be disharmonious and extremely disturbing.
- 5:04The role of the composer and then the conductor is to bring
- 5:08harmony to the vibrations expressed by the various
- 5:11instruments to make music. A similar process is at work
- 5:16with the sequential expression of higher forms of consciousness
- 5:20vibrating at increasing levels of coherence.
- 5:24Eventually the disharmonies and imbalances caused by the action
- 5:29of the physical, vital and mental forces at work and
- 5:33interacting with one another have to be brought into a state
- 5:37of balance and harmony, which can occur as the spiritual force
- 5:42intervenes and brings a vision of an understanding of the
- 5:47greater harmony and how it is to be created.
- 5:52The Mother observes. Quote For my consciousness The
- 5:56whole life upon earth, including the human life and all its
- 6:00mentality, is a mass of vibrations, mostly vibrations of
- 6:05falsehood, ignorance and disorder in which are more and
- 6:09more at work, vibrations of truth and harmony coming from
- 6:13the higher regions and pushing their way through the
- 6:17resistance. End Quote Reference Sri
