In 1966 Michale Caine starred in the movie Alfie, a story about a cockney womanizer; a typical, unconscious, playboy type, living from woman to woman. His life gets complicated by his unconscious choices and, after a string of setbacks, he asks the question, "What's it all about? You know what I mean?" It took him a while to ask. That it did so is not unusual, however.

Happiness comes to those who are willing to give happiness to others. Happiness is a process of spreading love… and thus allowing a smile to develop on someone else's face. Happiness springs forth from contentment… with what one has in this life. Happiness comes from inside… instead of being found out in the world. Happiness is a sign of inner compassion for all the challenges we face. Happiness is having the time to just “BE” every single day. Happiness is accepting of our feelings… and noticing feelings come and they go.

There is an idea, prevalent in some aspects of Western psychology, both mainstream and ‘pop’ psychology, that it is unhealthy to internalize and hold in strong reactions or emotions such as anger. They counsel letting it out and thereby saving oneself from the psychological and physical effects of suppressed anger and other strong emotions. There are even groups that support the idea of “scream-therapy” as a way to express one’s inner rage.

There is a verse in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad which illustrates the essential principle of an evolutionary cycle of the development and growth of consciousness, when it indicates a progression ‘from the darkness to the light, from light to greater light.” The Upanishad foresees that eventually the darkness that shadows awareness, that dominates the material consciousness, is lifted somewhat in the successive stages of the vital and mental consciousness, will eventually disappear as further evolution of consciousness occurs.

In an ancient Upanishadic tale, a youth approached a sage requesting to become a disciple and achieve spiritual realisation. The sage indicated that he should take two cattle into the forest, and when they numbered 1000 he should return and would undertake to teach the youth. The young man made sincere efforts and learned all there was to know about raising and breeding cattle, protecting them from predators, and survival in the forest for himself and his charges.

Oh! That’s a wonderful story. Come, let me tell you...rnI always thought self-respect is one of the most important ingredients in a personality. Anything which you yourself do not respect or value, how can you expect it from others? Moreover, right from childhood, I was inclined towards the path of salvation. And to be qualified for it, it was a given understanding that people should not feel ashamed of you. So, I allowed my habits and behaviour to get nurtured and cultivat

Every individual has a unique set of current capacities, difficulties and predilections in the nature. Spiritual growth therefore is not “one size fits all”. Some have a strongly developed mental power, others a vibrant emotional being, and still others have an active vital nature and / or physical capacity.

“What We Think Does Change Our Body” Every time we have a negative thought there are parts of our brain that react to bring about certain chemical changes which change our body completely. We have the amygdala, hypothalamus, thalamus, cingulate gurus, hippocampus, and the basal ganglia which produce different chemicals depending upon what kind of thinking we have going on… and in general these areas are called the limbic system. And we can heal our limbic system and body by changing our thinking.

Everyone goes through life thinking about everything except how to be a better person… but here are 3 simple ways to become the person and enjoy life more. Read More

For the practitioner of the integral yoga, any form of work represents an opportunity to discard the normal, habitual mode of action and replace it with the direct action of the Divine Force. This transition, however, is neither immediate nor completed all at once, so there is inevitably a phase where the mind, vital being and physical body continue to respond and act as they have been doing, and where incremental changes in the way they respond can aid in the change that is required.

There’s no such thing as work/home separation. Separation and resistance keep you stuck and tired. The solution is to bring more of yourself, not less. Your sacred, positive attention is the key to releasing victim mentality and bringing either real change or the grace of Spiritual Endurance into your life. Do you have an aspect of your life you find really unpleasant? For many people, there is a lot of negativity around their job. You may dislike your co-workers, your boss

Practitioners of yoga are generally familiar with the usual definitions of the chakras, their forms, colors and major operative powers when they open. In the integral yoga, where evolutionary planes of consciousness are recognised, Sri Aurobindo has expanded the definitions and understanding of the chakras to include their relation to the planes of consciousness and their action in the physical, vital and mental formations of the being.

It’s said there needs to be a large crack in the armor of ego in order to allow the love of God, the Universe, and Great Spirit to shine in. Nothing can be done to undo ego without a crack in the armor of ego, thus allowing the light of God to shine in. And that’s why we are put through so many powerful challenges in life to make sure our ego is opened up— and thus the love of God is able to soften our heart.

Science now feels that our conscious mind uses about 1 billion neurons and our unconscious mind uses about four times that amount. Most people take the unconscious mind for granted, but the reality is that our unconscious mind is really running the show. And whenever we do anything our choices are always influenced by our unconscious mind. Thus it’s important to make sure that our unconscious mind and conscious mind are on the same page. But how do we do that?

“Great Spirit is the Great Awareness Watching Everything” It’s not that we have a path we have to follow without deviation, we have free will and free will means the power of choice, and our freedom of choice will never be taken away.

If we observe the mental status that takes place at times when we focus on achieving some objective or other, taking a test, working on a project, running a race, playing music, or creating some work of art, for example, we see that the attention is focused intensely on the task at hand, and there is in most cases, little perception of extraneous sensations or matters, or even of the passage of time. This is concentration.

The lure of occult powers and experiences can be a considerable obstacle for the spiritual seeker who becomes enmeshed in the idea of developing these capacities. There is a reason why traditional paths of spiritual development eschew the use of the occult powers that arise naturally as one goes deeper into the inner levels of awareness. These are not magical or even, in most cases, very extraordinary powers, but to the normal surface consciousness they seem to be so.

The physical body (actually the entire material world) is subject to habits, and change tends to come slowly. Our being, however, is made up of a series of sheaths which progress from the subtle to the gross physical and thus, any attempt to make a change to the more outward sheaths, the physical, the vital and the mental included, must begin at the more subtle levels of the inner being. The more subtle an energetic field is, the more pliable it can be, and the more powerfully it acts upon the next more outward sheath.

Save the Oceans to Save the Planet: Part 2 Developing Solutionsr

At a certain point we come to the conclusion that our minds cannot finally determine the truth or the meaning of our existence. We recognise that many of our daily perceptions and assumptions about the world and, in fact, all of existence, are simply inaccurate. We see the sun rise in the East and set in the West, and assume the sun moves across the sky, with our world at the center of the process, when in fact, an entirely different set of circumstances apply.

Once we acknowledge that Truth cannot be ascertained through intellectual prowess alone, that the mind is not an instrument of truth, but rather an instrument for seeking, filled with doubt, confusion and limitation, we can no longer rely entirely on the mind to be the arbiter of what reality actually is, and what the significance of life is. We must either acknowledge that there is no way to truly find the meaning and purpose of our existence, or else, that there must be another faculty that can exceed the mind and provide the certainty and knowledge that we seek.

For the practitioner of the integral Yoga, energy is utilized to redirect and shift the standpoint away from the ego-personality into the divine standpoint, and then to effectuate actions to carry out the divine manifestation in the world. Energy dedicated to the enhancement or satisfactions of the ego-personality is therefore ‘wasted’ for this purpose, although it may be, for those not actively engaged in the yoga, a positive effort and activity that they carry out.

Many have read thousands of books and know the meaning of all the spiritual texts, but only those who put knowledge to work attain enlightenment. To know something in our mind is wonderful because it uplifts and starts the process of opening the heart. But in order to open the heart completely, we have to use our knowledge to help others. Having knowledge and not using it is a waste. Thus to know even a small amount of knowledge and use it in a practical way by helping others is the path of enlightenment.

If we take a look at the Mara people in Colombia and other indigenous tribes in New Zealand, Africa, in the Rainforests of Brazil, tribes on Pacific Islands and other places which have little or no influence by western society, it’s very clear that their children are very calm and peaceful. They don’t have ADD and they are not acting out… so what’s going on?

Santosh Krinsky gave this talk to outline both the existential crisis we are facing in the world today, tying together numerous different symptoms into a view of the larger issues we are facing, as well as the causative factors and the direction for solving this crisis through the development of the next phase of the growth of consciousness on the planet, the development of the supramental consciousness, beyond the mental level.

While many people discount the value of imagination, pigeon-holing it into the realm of the creative arts, without much impact on their lives, an ever-expanding number of people are realizing the tremendous power that imagination holds in shaping one’s life and future.

The object of creative expression through art is of primary importance to the spiritual seeker. As long as art is used as a way to enhance the vital ego, achieve recognition, fame, wealth, it has little, if any, value for spiritual practice. These objectives, in and of themselves, are part of the normal life of the mental/vital man and are expected to be the goals for those who take up these pursuits.

The power of concentration is well-known. It is a power that we utilize daily to accomplish the various tasks set before us, or to achieve some goal that we have set for ourselves. In yoga, also, the power of concentration is required. The focus and intention behind the concentration is the primary difference between ordinary concentration and that utilized by practitioners of yoga.
