Why Is Joy Inconstant, and How Does One Extend it?

It is first necessary to distinguish pleasure from joy. Pleasure may arise from the most insignificant, exte al factors, a sense impression, a lucky or fortuitous turn of events, or some passing vital response to a circumstance. Pleasure is a response of the surface being to something which has a positive impact for the body, the life-energy or the mind. It lasts while the stimulus that provoked it remains in place, or for some short period after the impetus has receded, as an ‘after glow’ effect. Pleasure is transitory by nature.âAt the same time, if the stimulus abides too long, it tends to

Distinguishing the Vital Mind from the Mental Power of Reason, Thought and Will

We may observe feelings, perceptions, thoughts, emotions, ideas, imaginations, memories, etc. all arising in our minds, and, for most of us, this is all just ‘mental activity’. And for most people this is clearly enough! For those taking up the spiritual life and practice, however, it becomes difficult to understand what is going on, and what can and should be done about it, to bring about the right mental ‘texture’ of the consciousness to be receptive and able to handle the higher inspirations, intuitions, and powers as they enter into the mind.

Steps Needed to ‘Become Conscious’

Some people believe that an intense aspiration is all that is needed to overcome the obstacles that prevent seekers from seeing, understanding and effectively responding to the forces that drive the outer life they lead. Others emphasize the details of the methodology to gain the needed insights and convert them into action items in the life. In reality, it is a combination of aspiration, and a specific and detailed methodology that together effectuate the needed consciousness changes. The aspiration energizes the will and focuses the attention.

The Ego Experience and the Experience of the Jivatman

When we observe the standpoint we inhabit closely, we find that we tend to identify ourselves as a distinct ‘person’ or ‘personality’ with specific traits, habits, relationships and viewpoints about ‘who we are’ and ‘what we do’. This is the ego-personality and we tend to try to associate everything to its impact on this ego-personality. The ego-personality tends to treat all other beings and forms as totally separate and distinct entities, and it thus creates a form of isolation and fragmentation in the creation which does not exist in reality, just in the ego-sense.

Understanding the Existence of and Interaction With the Higher Ranges of Consciousness Above the Mind

Just as all energy operates along a spectrum of vibration from shorter wavelength to longer wavelength, and this spectrum can be perceived within certain limited ranges based on the capacity of our sense instruments (or tools we develop to extend our range of perception), so also consciousness operates also along a spectrum with different and increasing powers of consciousness active starting from the most dense, inert material consciousness, extending up through the vital levels and into the emotional and mental levels. Consciousness however does not stop at the mental level.

A Shift of Standpoint from the Ego-Personality to the Soul or Self Is Needed to Unify, Organise and Harmonise the Entire Being

We tend to identify ourselves with the constructed ego-personality that we have built up, without recognising that this personality is itself an amalgam of different drives, instincts, habits, emotional predilections, feelings, thoughts, etc., which in many cases are not in alignment with one another and which fight for dominance in terms of our lives and the expression of our personalities. Thus, we are not generally consistent and we swing from one mood or direction to another based on whatever aspect prevails at a particular point in time.

Concentration of the Consciousness

People frequently confuse consciousness with mental awareness and concentration with some kind of mental effort or focus; yet, consciousness is not limited to mental awareness and concentration is not restricted to mental activity. We are all familiar with mental concentration. We focus on some specific subject and direct our attention, exclusively if possible, to that subject for a specified period of time. Taking a mathematics exam or concentrating on learning a song, or any other activity that requires highly focused attention is our usual way of understanding concentration, and this is in

Gnostic Consciousness Transcends Rigid Mental Rules for Living

As long as we remain fixed in the mental framework, we tend to create judgments and rules for everything we do that are founded on the limited and fragmented understanding that the mental power possesses. The advent of a new wider, more expansive, more unifying and comprehensive consciousness obviously will overtu or at least dramatically alter these rules in virtually every sphere of living.

Memory of Past Life Experiences

For most people, the trauma associated with the death of the body and the corresponding dissolution of the vital and mental being that formed within the life of that individual, means that there is no realistic way for any memory of past lives to remain intact and carry forward. The psychic being carries the essence of the life-experience, while not attaching itself to specific personality, experiences or capabilities that occurred in any of those past lives. The exceptions are rare and based on highly developed and conscious souls who are continuing a line of growth and activity on a concentr

Personal Effort, the Ego and the Nature of Selfishness

There is considerable confusion about the role of the ego and the nature of actions one undertakes. Many believe that charitable actions, altruistic or philanthropic actions by definition are unselfish acts and evidence the elimination of ego from the action. This, however, is not accurate. The ego remains active as long as the individual identifies himself with a specific person or personality. It is the development of the ego that is a necessary transitional step from the more amorphous consciousness of the vital and rudimentary mental levels. At the point where a seeker becomes self-aware a

The Soul’s Progress Relies on an Earthly Inca ation

Spiritual traditions around the world agree that it is on earth, in the physical body, that progress takes place. They treat the soul’s time in the body as the time for growth, for development, for maturation. When the soul leaves the body at the time of death, it goes through a transition that is either active, moving the soul toward its next inca ation, or passive, moving the soul into a place of rest and assimilation of its recent experience. There are many different versions of the tales woven around the soul’s journey beyond death and leading up to a new birth. The essential factor, howe

The Subtle Energetic Interchange That Takes Place at a Subliminal Level

We tend to pay attention to the various forms of exte al communication that take place between people. Written, verbal, and visual non-verbal cues through body language or expression, are all considered to be the major means of creating a relation between individuals. What we do not always recognise, however, is the impact and importance of the subtle, subliminal communication that is constantly taking place. We understand that there are vibrations that fall outside the spectrum that we can consciously perceive with our senses.

The Ego-Standpoint Bias — the Basis of Self-Deception

We tend to have a more or less hidden bias in favor of our own view or position in various matters, which carries out at each level of the ego-standpoint, individual, family, community, religion, country, etc. as it expands its scope. We tend to see things from our unique viewpoint and not take into account the viewpoint of other stakeholders in the event, situation or interaction.

The Exploration of Inner Space

Humanity has developed a method for exploration of the world around us, and in recent times, the exploration has expanded to include exploration under the vast oceans, exploration of the solar system and further reaches of outer space. Attention has now turned to the internal foundations of life and new technologies allow us to map genomes and discover how the machinery of physical existence functions. All of this exploration however, relates to our surface lives, our physical body and its surroundings, and the vital and mental opportunities that arise through our life experience.

The Power of the Evolved Soul to Tread the Spiritual Path

We frequently hear people speak about the ‘law of attraction’. In most cases, they treat this as some kind of method or ‘trick’ to attract wealth, fame or other objects of desire to them, through use of a sort of mental focus or vital magnetism effect. The true ‘law of attraction’ however is much more subtle and not focused on the gratification of the exte al being and its desires, but based on the way that an evolved soul is able to link to the higher divine purpose and intention and organise the entire being around the dictates of that higher purpose.

Awakening and Transformation of the Subconscious Must Precede Change at the Inconscient Levels of Existence

The inconscient level is a substratum for the broader manifestation and is not tied to any particular individual. Before anything can be done to effectively wake up and energize the inconscient, the task of the spiritual seeker is to bring down the light and consciousness through all the higher planes of the being, and then work on becoming conscious of and transforming the subconscious level, which includes both general and individualised aspects. An individual’s own experiences sink down into the subconscient and remain embedded there, waiting to manifest when the conditions ripen.

Consciousness in the Unconscious

How can something arise out of nothing? How can consciousness develop out of unconscious matter? Western science has tried to explain how life and mind can arise through random recombination of atoms and the impact of energetic forces on these atoms, but Western science has not explained where these ‘building blocks’ of existence come from and how they know what to do. If we look into the elements, and then into the atoms that make up the elements, we see that there is a consciousness at work in what we call the unconscious material universe.

Small Vital Entities and Their Action in Human Life

The Mother relates two stories here about interactions she personally had with some small entities. One group were of good will and acted to remind her of things when she was otherwise distracted. She was able to pay attention to their hint and ensure that all worked out properly. It takes a great deal of quietness of the mind and development of a sensitivity to the touches of these vital entities to be able to recognise the hints and make use of them.

The Mental Process and Developing Independence of Thought

We may believe that we create our own thoughts and ideas, but a close examination makes it clear that streams of thoughts, ideas, mental energies are constantly bombarding us, both overtly through what we read, what we hear, what we see and what we experience, and covertly through the subtle impinging force of thoughts in the “mental field” that is created through the action of the mental consciousness in its own plane and impinging on our earthly existence.

European culture takes credit for ‘discoveries’ that it makes despite the fact that societies in other parts of the world have long known about these things. Thus, Europeans ‘discovered’ America while disregarding the fact that it was already populated with numerous tribes of indigenous people, and had been visited by Scandanavian Vikings much earlier than the European “discovery”.

Time Perspective on Achieving Spiritual Realisations and Change of Human Nature

Life is so short! When one wants to accomplish something extraordinary or difficult, it takes considerable time and focus. If we reflect however, that the first 16 years or more are formative years and are focused on physical growth, development of vital powers of action, and cultivating the inherent mental powers of the human being (if the individual is not held back by factors such as disasters, wars, famine, mass migration, hunger, etc. of course).

They now admit the ‘mind-body’ connection and teach us how to harness the power of positive affirmation and visualisation in our immune strength and in recovery from any illness or injury.

Other Domains and Worlds Exist Beyond the Limits of Our Waking Awareness

When we reflect deeply on the development of life and mind out of Matter, it becomes clear that they are not able to manifest in Matter if they do not already exist in their own right and in their own domain. Seers and mystics have described vital worlds. Teilhard de Chardin described a mental sphere, which he called the ‘noosphere’ which encompassed the mental force in its own right. Similar to the ionosphere, or the biosphere, the noosphere created a range of its own vibratory level within which the actions of mentality could take place.

What Is Meant by Spontaneity and How to Apply It

There are two types of spontaneity and each of them proceeds from a different cause and has a vastly different effect. Spontaneity is generally understood in the context of responding ‘naturally’ to situations without a lot of thinking, planning or detailed consideration of one’s actions or their consequences. It is important to distinguish the two types of spontaneity to understand when and how it should (and should not) be applied.

When we reflect on the difficulties involved with both the transformation of the individual to a spiritual, gnostic consciousness and the need for this individual change to proliferate and transform society, it becomes necessary to focus on what the transitional phase or steps might be and how this might be effected. It is not sufficient, obviously, for an individual here or there to undergo this transformation in isolation.

How to Establish Unity in the Being

The Mother advises that the way to establish unity in the being is to treat the psychic being or the central aspiration as the guiding principle, and then observe and manage the mind, the life-energy and the body to conform to the intentions expressed by that central guiding principle. It is interesting to note that when the seeker finds a movement in the exte al being that does not meet this criteria, he is asked to treat the “recalcitrant parts as disobedient children.”

The Creation of Karma — the Interaction of Forces and Consequences

Many people consider the concept of ‘karma’ to be some form of moral retributive factor that brings back to an individual the ‘fruits’ of his actions. Thus, they believe, if a man does something considered wrong, dishonest, underhanded, the universal law of karma will eventually right the score. In the Christian religion this takes the form of belief that those who are oppressed and treated badly here on earth will eventually go to heaven and enjoy ete al life, while those who do the oppression will suffer endless torture in hell. We always look for some direct line of ’cause and effect’.

The Mechanism of Action Of the Subconscient in Relation to the Exte al Being

When we respond to a vibration, either at the physical level, the vital level or the mental level, we open a pathway for that vibration to impact us in some way, and, having once been accepted for admittance, it creates a propensity for us to admit it the next time it comes our way. In this way, a habit of response is built up. This idea is validated by scientists who track neural pathways, and who indicate that a repeated experience builds up ‘grooves’ in the pathways of the brain which allow impulses to traverse them more quickly and easily.

The Two Beings of Man: the Exte al Self and the Inner Self

As long as we focus our attention on the surface perceptions, events and actions, we respond to the vibrations associated with those things. We may focus on our physical needs, our vital desires, our mental interests, our emotional states, or on our aesthetic and artistic sensibilities, or on simply forms of entertainment to create enjoyment of these exte al events and sensations. We can see quite easily that focus on one area tends to reduce or eliminate our ability to focus on another area, even in these exte al perceptions.

In each instance of a vibrational spectrum, there is a range within which we can consciously perceive the energetic movement, and there are ranges, both above, and below our range of perception.

it can be especially difficult for those who are highly educated in the field of Western science, medicine, or other studies that focus on the logical intellect of the mind, to actually appreciate and be receptive to the play of forces that occurs outside the normal perceptive range of the intellect.

It is common for an individual to take some kind of illumination of the mind, or some strong positive emotion in the heart, for instance, as a sign of their contact with the soul.

If they are not fully conscious instruments, however, they will tend to have limiting or contrary movements that partially deflect the true and powerful direction intention.

Sri Aurobindo describes in The Synthesis of Yoga, the long, slow process of evolution that occurs in nature, long before human beings become conscious of this process. He indicates that through the conscious participation of the spiritual aspirant, this process can be made conscious and speeded up. Thus, yogic practice can condense into a much shorter time span, progressive development that would otherwise potentially require hundreds of years, if not millennia. Thus, there is a certain amount of progress that occurs within the natural evolution, unseen and unrecognised due to both its tardy p
