Introduction to the Subconscient Level of Consciousness

Western psychology has invested a considerable amount of time and energy in trying to understand, describe and treat the subconscious levels of our existence. Freud described various complexes that arose from the subconscious and which drove the being into actions that the conscious parts neither understood nor desired. Pavlov showed that deep training could link events in the subconscious to create automatic responses to stimuli.

Why are so many fake self help gurus on the rise? How can a common man avoid the trap?

We are currently living in Kaliyug, indicating an era of declining religion! Therefore, we are bound to observe deteriorating moral conduct all around. When we listen to the stories of the earlier era, we realize how the accomplished spiritually elevated Gurus cultivated moral values and helped establish excellent moral conduct in their disciples. This means in this era of declining religion, the accomplished spiritually elevated Gurus have declined. Therefore, as one of the

“Why Do We Have Evil in the World?”

Lots of people ask why do we have evil in the world… here is the short answer. It would have been easy to create beings that did not think and just served but they would not be able to give their love freely to God, the Universe, and Great Spirit. On the average robots only do what they are told to do and thus they don’t have free will. And free will is all important to Great Spirit, for the power of choice makes everything worth while. For to not have free will means we could not love, for love is part of free will, and freedom is part of love… they are inseparable.

How do we know if this is the last Janma? What planet indicates Moksha?

Sorry, but this is not the last janma for anyone who is presently living on the planet Earth- no exception!rnIt is because the era that we are presently living in is ‘Kalyug’. This era is not fit for going to moksha directly from here. rnMahavideh Kshetra is the place from where moksha can take place. From here, one has to take at least one more birth as a human being elsewhere. And if this birth happens to be in the Mahavideh Kshetra, then yes, from there we can go to mo

Is karmic debt transferable?

No.It is not transferrable. You have to suffer the fruits of karmas yourself, be it the good ones or the bad ones. You cannot give it to others nor can anybody take this away from you! If you want to take away your mother’s bad karma and add it to your karma, that will not happen. If your mother is suffering from cancer, there is no way you can take away her miseries or transfer her cancer onto yourself. She has to suffer her miseries herself.If fruit of her karma is bad, t

Mental and Vital Formations and Habits of Acceptance Which Create Obstacles for the Soul’s Victory

Every part of our being has certain habitual patterns of responding to, accepting and dealing with forces and vibrations that enter into them. These habitual patterns for the most part lock in the old ways of seeing and acting, and it takes a change in standpoint from the mental-vital-physical complex to the standpoint of the soul or psychic being, in order for the individual to clearly see what is happening and what is being accepted by them in the normal course. Sri Aurobindo provides the example of illness and the way to deal with it when there is an attack on the physical body.

The Attitude Towards Food and the Practice of Yoga

There is considerable confusion, and a resultant variety of ways that spiritual seekers respond, to the question of food. Ordinarily food should not lead to any sense of bewilderment, as it is simply a necessity for the maintenance of the physical body in general. The issue arises when food becomes something else, a sublimated vital response to life, or a means of enjoyment, etc. In particular, spiritual seekers who carry out a discipline of avoidance of other forms of vital enjoyment may channel the latent desires into their relationship with food.

The Mother’s Force to Effectuate the Change of Consciousness

Practitioners of Yoga speak of the opening of the Kundalini and the energy rising up from the base of the spine, through the various chakras and issuing out of the 1000 petalled lotus at the top of the skull. The experience of the rising of the Kundalini is a core development in many yogic practices. One of the disadvantages of this, however, is the potential for all kinds of unrefined energies from the lower chakras to be released and put in motion while the seeker is not yet fully prepared to deal with and manage them. This has led to some unfortunate consequences for many people.

Two Introductory Methods to Develop Remembrance in Work

Development of the inner attitude of dedication, and remembrance of the Divine in work is a progressive process. Initially, most people are unable to actively keep the focus and remembrance while concurrently concentrating on the work at hand. Sri Aurobindo introduces two methods to begin to integrate the aspiration and focus on the Divine into the daily work that one undertakes. These initial steps prepare for the deeper integration of work and consecration that come thereafter.

Two Methods for Achieving Equality of Feelings with Others

What causes an individual to ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ someone they meet. Some obvious reasons include similarities or differences in temperament, responses to situations, idea-sets, lifestyle, and, based on acculturation, accidental characteristics such as religion, social standing, career, or economic condition, as well as potential biases based on skin color, sexual orientation, gender, or appearance. Much of this, however, is what we may calll ‘learned’ response.

Understanding the Concept of Wideness in the Integral Yoga

The Vedic Rishis spoke of Satyam, Ritam, Brihat, ‘the truth, the right, the vast’. These represent psychological states into which the yogic practitioner can enter in order to embody the truth of the Brahman. The vast consciousness takes us out of the human egoistic standpoint into an awareness, which is a palpable experience in consciousness, of the divine standpoint. The mind tends to discount these as some kind of philosophical orientation, but they are in fact descriptions of actual states of consciousness.

Spiritualizing The Planet

We are one with the cosmos whether we realize it or not. Realizing it, though, quickens our spiritual energy and allows us access to higher realms. In those higher realms lies the awareness that we are more than just finite physical beings living one life in one place at one point in time. Connecting with this awareness is to awaken to the truth and take a step forward, and upward, on our soul’s journey. This upward movement is known as ascension because the more we remembe

The Silence of the Mind

We are so used to the constant internal dialogue that we have no conception of what it means to have ‘silence of the mind’. We strive to fill up any silence with sound, whether through conversation, consumption of media, music or even treating television or radio as ‘background noise’ for our daily lives. We fear silence in our interpersonal relationships and work to ‘make conversation.’ While we are waiting on the telephone, we hear music. When we ride in an elevator we hear music. Sound is constantly blasting at us wherever we go. Just the idea of silence is terrifying to most people.

What Do We Already Know Deep Within Ourselves?

Before following a spiritual path -- or, at least, consciously -- I would watch the show from the early 90's called "911 Emergency." The show reenacted actual 911 emergency scenarios and it interviewed close friends and family. Sometimes, the "victim" survived and sometimes they didn't. The manner of death might vary from murder, accident or sudden shutdown of the body (heart attack, stroke, blood vessel bursting, etc.) What was interesting at the time was that often there wa

Four Common Forms of Resistance by the Lower Vital to the Transformation Required

Sri Aurobindo considers yoga to be, in a certain sense, applied psychology. The review and understanding of one’s own actions and deeper motives and motivations is essential if one is going to overcome the limitations and habits of the lower nature and eventually receive and manifest new ways of knowing and acting, and thereby transforming the nature. The resistance of the lower vital is a critical element that must be overcome. Sri Aurobindo provides insight to four of the most common forms that this resistance takes.
