The Attempt to Change Human Nature at All Levels of the Being

It is a well-known occurrence. We have a wonderful experience in meditation and come back filled with light, a feeling of joy or bliss, an open heart and a sense of realisation. Then we go out to act in the world and all the old impulses arise, the feelings of desire, the drive of control, impulses of anger or lust, mental arrogance and an attempt to enforce our view on others, whatever it may be.

The Four Parts of the Vital Being: Their Functions and Their Seats

For those who focus on liberation from the worldly life, it is not much of a consideration to understand the exact details of the vital nature. If they can find a way to eliminate or reduce its action overall, so that they can concentrate on the process of liberation, that is considered sufficient. For those, however, who take up the goal of the integral yoga to transform earthly life into a divine life, it is extremely helpful to understand the distinctions between different aspects of the vital nature, and thereby begin to work on the process of change in a very detailed manner.

Glimpses and Experiences of the Inner Being, and the Shift of the Consciousness from the Outer to the Inner

If we focus on the experience of our normal, daily lives, we will find that it can be characterised by a specific feeling or quality that we know as our usual experience. While each individual may have a different characterisation of this experience, some happy, some sad, some joyful, some filled with pain, the preoccupation with the exte al body, life-energy and mind, the perceptions of the senses, the relationships we have with others and our experience of the environment within which we live, are the primary factors for virtually everyone.

How long can a Pure Soul remain Pure?"

Pure Soul has, is and shall always remain ‘Pure’ in all circumstances.The Soul is always pure, totally pure. Soul is the real Self of everyone. Whether it be a baby or an adult or a Senior Citizen, whether it be an animal or a tree or a human being, the Soul, which is the real Self of everyone, is the same. Always! These outer projections are all temporary and are mere transitory phases. But the Soul residing within each exterior is of a uniform quality. Soul is nothing b

Jesus, The First "Mr. Universe"

In The Last Word on Power, one of the foremost experts on transformational leadership Tracy Goss writes that one cannot do the “impossible” simply by changing the various activities that one does. Rather, to accomplish the impossible, Goss teaches, one must first actually allow oneself to be changed. Personal transformation, Goss says, is the only way to make the so-called “impossible” happen. nnGoss calls her teachings “non-religious.” Yet her methodology on “e

Liberation Should Precede the Attainment of the Cosmic Consciousness

The ego-personality actually can be a form of protection for the unprepared soul in the world, as it limits the range and power of action. If a person breaks out of the framework provided by the small ego-personality, and comes into contact with and active conscious interaction with the larger universal, cosmic forces, this can result in an enlarged form of egotism and lead to devastating results due to the self-aggrandisement that can occur, combined with the greater powers at play at that level.

The Spirit, the Soul and the Psychic Being

There is considerable confusion about the various terms used to describe the spiritual quest and the reality of our individual existence. Sri Aurobindo distinguishes and defines the different aspects or elements and their role in spiritual practice. There is additional confusion around the term “psychic being”. The term “psychic” is used in a vastly different sense in today’s society, and thus, his use of the term can be easily misunderstood.

“All Animals Feel and Need Compassion and Love”

Yesterday morning I found a beautiful little dog that someone had dumped on the sidewalk down the street from our house. The little dog had water and food and would not move from that spot because he was so afraid and it was starting to rain. And I was walking our two small dogs when I saw him and I said to God… “If he is still here when we get back from our walk I will take him home”.

“Probiotics and Natural Childbirth”

Probiotics are very important for every aspect of life. From the very second we are born we are to be inoculated with bacteria and thus our immune system is given a jump start. Living life in completely sterile conditions is not good our immune system. We need to have a robust immune system, and that only happens if we are in contact with bacteria. And having probiotics in our gut during birth is vitally important for the health and well being of our children.

The Need for a Direct Experience of the Reality of Existence

At the end of all our speculation, logic, reasoning, and opinions, we find that we are plagued by uncertainty and doubt in our minds about the meaning of our existence, our purpose in the world and the reality of the universal creation. We can recognize that what we observe through our senses is subject to error and misinterpretation. We also can recognize that however far we take our mental reasoning, it always ends in an inability to obtain certainty.

What Is Meant By the Concept of Mental Health?

For the most part, Western psychology is focused on treating what is considered ‘abnormal’ in order to help an individual fit into society and act ‘normally’. Much focus is put on exte al causes of various forms of disturbance and how the individual can adjust, adapt or respond to those disturbances. The approach leads to a constant need for ‘therapy sessions’ as there are countless causes of disturbance, looked at from an exte al standpoint, all the time in everyone’s life.

The Divine Grace and Spiritual Realisation

The pivotal role and importance of Divine Grace in the spiritual realisation comes about because all humanity is essentially locked into the framework of our normal mental-vital standpoint and thus, cannot truly transform the consciousness without something intervening from outside this framework. This is a dual process of preparation, receptivity and acceptance from the side of the individual, and the influence of the higher principle or force that exerts the pressure for change.

The Essential Role of Supermind in the Transformation of Mind-Life-Body

The aspiration and goal of seekers from time immemorial is the Ete al, which represents a status outside of the normal functioning of body-life-mind, that is, outside our normal experience. Through achievement of samadhi, the consciousness enters into the experience of pure existence, consciousness and bliss, Sat-Chit-Ananda. This is an “undifferentiated” state that is pure and unmoving. This status, while being the underlying basis and frame for the active movement of the universal energy in its manifestation, is not one that actively and dynamically creates that manifestation.

“How to Overcome the Ups and Downs of Life”

Our senses are in complete control over our lives, they run the show so to speak, and can create havoc in our lives if we allow them to take over. But how do we take back our lives? The senses control our outer world and the more we are consumed with our outworld the more our senses play havoc with our life… and start to make us feel agitated, upset, full of anger, and we lose peace of mind. Our total sensory control also brings about pride, greed, hatred, and anxiety… all of which need to be curbed.

Kabbalah Perspective: Through Hubble's Eye

Technology invites humanity to tour the universe! With the quick click of a computer mouse, we can now explore the universe through Hubble's eye. Hubble is a telescope that orbits the Earth. According to NASA, Hubble's eye gives us a view of the universe from above the atmosphere while "searching out clues to fundamental questions about the universe and life itself." What is interesting to note is that Hubble's view is raw data - data that remains meaningless without someone

Kabbalah: The Science of the Concealed

Some people think of Kabbalah as a mystery, a new age religion, mysticism, or magic. In fact, Kabbalah is none of these , yet even Kabbalists call it "a concealed wisdom." At first, this seems like a paradox: How can Kabbalah be something that’s “concealed,” yet not be a mystery? nnThe key discernment here is to understand that by “concealed,” the Kabbalists do not mean that Kabbalah is something which can never be understood or comprehended.

The Action of Divine Grace

The difference between our human understanding and effort, and the action of Divine Grace, is the standpoint from which the result flows. The human ego standpoint tries to evaluate everything in reference to itself at the center, and thus, looks to “my effort”, “my results”, “my progress” and measures these things according to the framework of the human understanding. Yet the Divine acts and manifests from its own “divine standpoint” which exceeds the limits of the mental egoistic view, and thus, it can seem incomprehensible to the individual.

Advanced Methods for Converting Work into Karma Yoga

Sri Aurobindo explores the methods of converting work into ‘karma yoga’ with several additional ways to approach this. The development of an inner ‘witness consciousness’, the purusha which is separate from the outer active nature, prakriti, is an intermediate stage beyond those which involve the individual remembering before and after the work takes place. Cultivation of this inner separation can aid both in developing a sense of constant peace as well as in being able to manage the reactions and responses of the outer nature eventually.

Characteristics of Human Love, Psychic Love and Spiritual Love

If we examine the nature of love as we see it in human society, there is a considerable amount of expectation, as well as ‘bargaining’, in our expressions of love. We tend to expect that the object of our love will reciprocate and return a measure of love, or some other concrete manifestation of response. If we do not get what we expect, our love tends to sour or decline and we move on to other potential objects of love to get our expectation and needs fulfilled.

Developing Aspiration Without Admixture of Desire

The Bhagavad Gita devotes considerable focus to the operation of the three gunas, qualities of the action of the nature, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. The Gita indicates that all actions are modified and controlled by the action of the gunas. This includes the practice of spiritual sadhana. Rajas taints the sadhana through the action of desire. When rajas is active, we come to the sadhana with a demand, an expectation or some kind of pressure to achieve a specific result in a certain time. Some try to carry out extreme austerities to “storm the gates of heaven”, so to speak.

Issues in the Establishment of Equanimity and Peace in the Being

We have long-established instincts that harken back to the animal kingdom, in what we may call the “fight or flight” response. This instinct is deeply embedded and lies at the root of one of the biggest obstacles to achieving calm and peace in the being. Every impulse we receive from outside triggers a reaction and if it appears at all threatening, it triggers this virtually automatic process. There are other reactive triggers, such as the built in neuro-chemical transmitters that are evoked when something is pleasurable or unpleasurable.

What is the biggest Obstacle in Self-Realization?

The biggest obstacle in Self-realisation is one’s own pride.There is a positive and negative side of pride. Positive pride does not hurt others, but the negative pride could have a great adverse impact on us, in our life and in our relationships. Pride is an emotion which makes one susceptible to being fragile and easily wounded. Here, the ego’s want is to be recognised and be praised at the cost of making others feel insignificant.
