Disturbances of the Vital Caused by Life-Changes, Negative and Positive

Some years ago we were witnesses to an event that clearly illustrated the disturbance to the vital that can be caused by a positive experience. In that case, a married couple were planning to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and their extended family and friends were there to join the festivities, except for one daughter and her family who lived half a world away, and who were not expected. The day before the celebration, the daughter with family showed up at the doorstep.

Relationship Among Sadhaks in an Ashram Community

The history of spiritual and religious communities has witnessed numerous approaches to interpersonal relationships. For the most part, monasteries, cloisters or ashrams have tried to focus the attention of their members by maintaining strict rules, in many cases including vows of silence, celibacy and prayers. Individuals who were tasked with being ‘in charge’ would frequently enforce these rules through harsh discipline, and the atmosphere would be one of austerity and somewhat frosty (or in some cases even hostile) interpersonal relationships as a result.

Transition to a New Higher Standpoint of Consciousness Is the Basis of Achievement of the Cosmic Consciousness

Many people can identify the experience of suddenly receiving an intuition or inspired or illumined knowledge on occasion. Some experience such things relatively frequently. Where does this sudden illumination come from? How does it act upon us? Generally, the occasional intuition is recognised when it comes into the mind, vital or physical being and has a quality of ‘rightness’ and truth associated with it.

Who Am I?

Sri Ramana Maharshi famously inquired into the question ‘who am I?’. Through constant self-examination with this question, the seeker begins to separate himself from the idea that he is the body, or the particular life-energy formation or mental sense that make up his exte al, surface personality and being. For most people, we look to the physical body as being ‘who we are’. When we bury someone in a graveyard, we go to visit our family, friend or relative and lay flowers on the grave and recount that we went to see that individual, even though the body has likely long since disintegrated!

The Surrender of the Ego-Personality to the Divine

The ego-sense, in its attempt to be in control and glorify in its success, abhors the very idea of “surrender”. The connotation of the term in English is loaded with negative inferences, yet in other languages there are more subtle and deeper meanings to be unlocked. For instance, in Sanskrit, the term atmasamarpanam has the sense of self-offering. Similarly in German, self-surrender translates as ‘selbsthingabe’ which conveys a sense of dedication, commitment or self-offering.

“What Would Happen if the TV Disappeared”

Everyday we sit and wait to see what the news will bring. Or we watch the TV incessantly to see who will win the primaries. But does this do any good? Could it be that all that power we use watching TV could be used for the betterment of mankind? What if we were to stop watching TV all together, what would happen? Perhaps we would spend more time with our loved ones, and sit and talk and find common ground, and talk about our dreams, our fears, and most of all just listen. Because most people don’t want someone to fix everything, they just want to be heard.

Spiritual Experiences Are Real

For the individual who has a spiritual experience, one of the most notable characteristics is the absolute and incontrovertible ‘reality’ of the experience. Yet, people who live primarily in the surface consciousness tend to treat such experiences, when related, as somehow less real or even unreal, compared to the experience of the outer world. Terms such as dream, hallucination, or delusion frequently are used, and in many cases, the person having such inner experiences is lumped in with those who require some form of counseling or mental health support.

The Need to Remain Undisturbed by Outer Circumstances

One of the great obstacles to the reception and activation of the higher forces of consciousness are the pre-existing habits of action and reaction in the mind-life-body complex. We are constantly pulled in one direction or another, we react to events and circumstances from our narrow ego-standpoint, and try to enforce our desired results on people and activities. There is no room, in this reactive state, for a new focus and action of consciousness to occur. Thus arises the need to bring the reactive psychology to a state of quiet and receptivity.

What Does Sri Aurobindo Mean by Transformation of the Nature?

In setting forth a goal of transformation of the nature through the advent of the spiritual consciousness and the supramental level, Sri Aurobindo goes beyond the goals of other traditional spiritual paths which have ‘liberation’ as the goal. He describes the impact of each new manifestation of consciousness as representing a radical change that affects the preceding levels. This occurred with the advent of the vital life-force in a world of physical matter, and can be seen also in the advent of mind in a world of life and matter.

What Kind Of Genius Do You Want To Be?

“Case Study - Healing Osteoporosis Naturally”

When we eat any kind of animal products including beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, seafood, fish, milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and anything else from animals it creates an acidic reaction in the body. And because of that acid, our bodies try to balance that acid by removing calcium from our bones to buffer the acid… thus we create osteoporosis.

“To Have What You Really Want”

I have a friend who is really interested in taking his next step in his spiritual path. And he knows for sure he needs to make a move… yet he is afraid to let go. All the spiritual teachers who have come before such as Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna all had lots of suffering that they endured in order to achieve a state of ONENESS. And there are lots of people who think they can achieve this state without going through some kind of turmoil in their life. In fact, sometimes we have to give up everything in order to attain a higher state of consciousness.

A Settled Peace in the Being and a Fixed Resolution in the Mind Aid in the Transformation of the Vital

In ancient Greek mythology, there is the tale of the 12 labours of Hercules, one of which was cleaning out the Augean stables. He needed to accomplish this task in one day, but there were so many cattle that it was considered an impossible task. And every day the mess was renewed after the cattle returned from pasture in the evening. Hercules was undaunted as he had the help of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. He made a hole on each end of the stables and dug trenches that allowed a river to flow into and out of the stable.

Six Recommendations for Speech and Social Relationships

Speech not only can affect one’s own energy, but it can also affect one’s relationship with others and the dynamics of a social relationship and a community. For the most part, people tend to speak whatever comes to them without a great deal (if any) reflection. This practice however can have grave and negative consequences in interpersonal relationships and for any society. The loss of civility, an increase in anger and hatred, polarization are all symptoms of speech that has gone far beyond the bounds within which it acts as a positive influence.

Spiritual Growth: The Spiritual Challenge Of Modern Times

The Origin of Joy

There is a difference between ‘joy’ and ‘enjoyment’. Enjoyment is a more or less passive state, such as when we enjoy some form of entertainment. Joy, on the other hand, is an active status, which rises spontaneously through involvement and action. If we observe children, we see that they experience a true state of joy when they are able to ‘do’ something, whether it is learning how to jump for the first time, or helping their mother in some activity, or simply running, playing and experiencing life actively.

The Process of Turning Work into Yogic Practice

The Bhagavad Gita proclaims that ‘yoga is skill in works’. The type of focused concentrated effort that comes about through a yogic practice is an essential aspect of completing any task skillfully. It does not imply, however, that all ‘skill in works’ is necessarily yoga, unless by that one includes the secret yoga of nature that prepares the being for union with the Divine through the long, slow process of evolutionary development.
