  Some people, especially those with a naturally devotional
• 0:05
  nature will gravitate toward concentration.
• 0:08
  That is centered in the region of the heart.
• 0:11
  Others will have a more intellectual term, will find it
• 0:15
  easier in most instances to experience the concentration in
• 0:19
  the mental Center. This approach actually can
• 0:23
  itself takes several different forums classically.
• 0:27
  The secret is instructed to concentrate on the air.
• 0:30
  Area between the eyebrows. The ajna chakra also, termed the
• 0:35
  third eye by many, this is a center of concentration and
• 0:39
  mental will. It is also possible.
• 0:42
  However, to shift the concentration upwards to the top
• 0:47
  of the head region at the point, where the mental Consciousness
• 0:50
  reaches its higher levels, and through which higher forces,
• 0:55
  sometimes descend into the mind. Many who have experienced what
• 1:00
  is called the mothers Force. While meditating at the SRI
• 1:03
  aurobindo ashram have reported a pressure or a dripping of force
• 1:09
  of Consciousness or a powerful descent through this higher
• 1:13
  mental Center. The issue punish odd points out
• 1:19
  the face of Truth is covered by a brilliant golden lid.
• 1:24
  It is possible for the secret to experience.
• 1:27
  What seems to be such a lid at the higher reaches of the mental
• 1:31
  level? At some point when this lid is
• 1:35
  breached upwards, or through Descent of the force downwards,
• 1:39
  it can open up the secret to get higher Realms of Mind.
• 1:44
  Those in, which intuition, illumination, Etc, become
• 1:48
  active, and overtake. The plotting action of the
• 1:52
  mental Center, in its native state, SRI aurobindo writes
• 1:57
  quote, that other way is the concentration in the head in the
• 2:02
  mental Center. This if it brings about The
• 2:05
  Silence of the surface mind opens up an inner larger deeper
• 2:11
  mind within which is more capable of receiving, spiritual
• 2:17
  experience, and spiritual knowledge.
• 2:20
  But once concentrated here, one must open the silent mental
• 2:24
  Consciousness upward to all that is above mind.
• 2:28
  After a time, when feels the Consciousness Rising upward and
• 2:33
  in the end it rises beyond the lid which is so long.
• 2:36
  Kept it tied in the body and finds a center above the head
• 2:42
  where it is liberated into the infinite there.
• 2:46
  It begins to come into contact with the universal self.
• 2:50
  The Divine peace, light, power, knowledge, Bliss, To enter into
• 2:57
  that and become that to feel The Descent of these things into the
• 3:02
  nature. To concentrate in the head with
• 3:06
  the aspiration for quietude in the mind and the realization of
• 3:10
  the self. And divine above is the second
• 3:14
  way of concentration. It is important.
• 3:17
  However, to remember that the concentration of the
• 3:20
  Consciousness in the head is only a preparation for its
• 3:24
  rising to the center above, otherwise when may get shut up
• 3:29
  in one's own mind, and it's experiences or at best attain
• 3:34
  only to a reflection of the truth above instead of rising
• 3:38
  into the spiritual, Transcendence to live there.
• 3:43
  For some, the mental concentration is easier for some
• 3:47
  the concentration in the Heart Center, some are capable of
• 3:51
  doing both alternately but to begin with the heart center, if
• 3:56
  one can do it is the more desirable end quote, reference
