With even a very cursory examination of the thoughts and sensations that enter our awareness, it becomes quite clear that there is a constant flow of sensations, impressions, perceptions, feelings, emotions and thoughts that seem to bombard us all the time. Our attention flits from one thing to the next instantaneously, seemingly without any control. When this becomes somewhat extreme, so that the individual can barely function in the world, Western psychologists term it ‘ADHD”, or in the general language “attention deficit disorder”.

There is a complex game called ‘chess’. The modern form of the game reputedly developed from a strategic game that appears to have originated in India in around the 6th or 7th century, although there were likely precursor forms that existed prior to that time. As a game of strategy, the object for the two players is to deploy their various game pieces, each having different basic powers of action, in order to gain control of the field and eventually conquer the opposing king. It is a game, simultaneously, consisting of offense and defense.

When we are busy fulfilling our desires or ambitions, we notice that the vital energy is generally plentiful and positive, we forget about fatigue and want to carry on with exuberance. This is the normal status of the vital energy carrying out its habitual functions in human life and society. There is a ‘gusto’ to life that is palpable and which weaves itself into whatever we are doing.

When we consider the way we take in and expend energy in our lives, we start by looking at food as the source of energy. Food represents the conversion of solar energy into biological energy through the medium of photosynthesis and (for those who eat animal foods), the conversion of the plant material into animal flesh through eating by the animal. The ultimate source of energy from food is therefore the sun.

That which is all knowing, every present, and everywhere, how can it be separate from us? It’s impossible for those very same reasons. Thus THAT which is out there is also in here, in our heart, in our being, it is not separate from us. Yet we believe that we are disconnected and lost, but the reality is we are never lost if we allow ourselves to listen to that which dwells within.

“Here is a daily plan with rituals for a peaceful, harmonious, and joyous life” A lot of people drag themselves out of bed at 7AM go to the bathroom and clean up. Then drink some coffee and grab something to eat while running out the door. Then they work all day and grab fast food for lunch and head back to work. And then get off work and have some more fast food before heading home and then watching TV until 1AM. But does this process create joy?

Distraction is actually a symptom of another characteristic, that of “dispersion” of the consciousness. If we take the time to observe our own sense of awareness we find that it seems to be primarily on the surface of our being, receiving sense perceptions, reacting to people, things, events and circumstances and otherwise busying itself with all the details of the exte al life. From time to time we may experience a centred, indrawn state of awareness where we feel ourselves to be ‘self-contained’, so to speak, and thus, at peace.

As the individual confronts the various impulses, emotions, drives and thoughts that arise and drive his life and action, he begins to recognise that there are elements that are not easily identified on the surface, and that there is something that cannot quite be grabbed with the intellect, which represents a motive spring for many of the impulses that he contends with.

There are a number of different ways that physically alive beings draw and obtain energy. Human beings tend to rely heavily on eating food, and converting the food into other forms of energy to carry out work in the body. Plants, on the other hand, rely primarily on direct conversion of sunlight into physical energy to fuel the creation of their bodies and the operation of their energetic action. We can understand that there are other and higher forms of energetic reception and action which can provide ‘fuel’ for beings of various sorts.

“High in Protein and More Antioxidants tha Blueberries and Pomegranates”

How to Heal the Forest of Humanity In our modern society, we have come to a point of no return. We have taken our psychological approach to the growth of an individual to the extreme. Now we are seeing the outcome of that process throughout the world.

We pride ourselves on our independence and self-sufficiency. We believe that we make conscious choices that are ‘our own’ choices. We do not generally recognise that who we are today, and what choices we tend to make, are very much conditioned by and even controlled by influences from the past. The Buddhist concept of ‘dependent origination’ describes this intertwined relationship between the present and the past. There is a built-in genetic inheritance that provides much of the framework for the mind, life and body that we inhabit in our lifetimes, and thereby controls many events.

When we flip a light switch, we have faith that there is electricity flowing through the wires and the lights will turn on. We do not actually know or perceive the electricity, but we can see its effects in operation. Similarly, our surface being may see effects of the Divine Force at work in the being, without necessarily having a direct perception of that Force in action.

During the Olympic games in the summer of 2021, we were able to hear about the separate consciousness of the various parts of the being. One of the premier gymnasts in the world withdrew from events by saying that she had lost, at least temporarily, the body consciousness that basically oriented her to where she was in her routine, and thus, was putting her well-being into danger with the complex gymnastic routines she normally performed. This is an illustration of the understanding of human consciousness as described by Sri Aurobindo.

From childhood we are acculturated with the idea of family and family life as a primary function and goal of our existence. This becomes a habit in our vital being and in our minds. At some point, through some seminal experience or through a growing inner conviction, certain individuals become aware of a deeper spiritual need and purpose to life, and they begin to take up spiritual practices to try to bring about the realisation and the fulfillment that they perceive.

If we reflect on the amount of time and focus we give to organizing and living our exte al physical lives, dealing with food, shelter, clothing, comforts of various sorts, entertainment, travel, family and friends, it becomes clear that a considerable part, indeed the greatest part, of our time and attention is spent on addressing the outer life.

With the development of the mental being in evolution, we can observe the central leadership role that the mind plays in dealing with the vital and physical levels of our existence. The mental being, however, is limited by its strict framework and sequential process, and thus, is something like ‘the blind leading the blind’ in terms of its ability to truly comprehend the nature of existence and how to address the complexity of the universal manifestation.

For the majority of individuals who live on the surface of their being, the energy they experience, the thoughts, emotions, feelings, perceptions are simply the working of the machinery, with no understanding about the process or source of this energetic action in their lives. For those who have some experience of the inner awareness, however, there begins to develop a perception of various energies being located in specific areas, and this perception actually carries through into the ordinary awareness as habitual sayings or thoughts.

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.

An Enlightened One, also known as the Spiritual Master / Spiritual Leader is One who has a constant awareness of the Self i.e. the Pure Soul. He is free from anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, and abhorrence. In His presence, everyone experiences immense harmony and peace. His words touch people’s hearts, and each one can experience a tremendous result of His said words. A Spiritual Master brings a closure to the problems that come to him by giving answers to the sati

Here is a very simple experiment that anyone can try which allows one to see the power of love. The other night my wife and I retired for the night and we were holding hands as we fell asleep. I woke up a little later and it came to me to start saying the name of God over and over again in my mind silently. Usually, I am not holdings hands with my wife when I do this so I didn’t think anything unusual would happen. So I started to say my personal name of God in my mind and all of a sudden my wife moved a bit as though a bit of electrical energy ran through her.

When we have cancer or even if we are healthy it’s vital that we eat great nutritious organic food that’s chemical free, and food has not been tampered with in any way. So many people come down with cancer and eventually become cured, only to have their cancer return later because of poor diet. The body is not able to heal if itself with a poor diet, because it doesn’t have all the powerful antioxidant nutrients, and live enzymes to fuel the furnace.

Right now we see the oceans polluted and filled with plastic. But even thousands of years ago in spiritual texts, we were told to care for the planet. Sai Baba said: “Whosoever worships the Supreme Lord should also worship Nature. He should love and adore Nature because Nature is not different from the Supreme Self. Nature is the effect and God is the Cause.” We are to care for nature as if nature were God Himself.

All of us are an exquisite examples of love, and all do a great job of living life and taking care of ourselves and others. But at times we forget how amazing we really are. Here are just a few reminders of how wonderful we are. You are Rare - You are rare, you are like a diamond that has a twinkling and shiny quality that’s beyond comprehension. You are Sublime - You are heavenly and beyond compare when it comes to being you. You are Beautiful - You are stunning and gorgeous, and it’s important that you never forget how beautiful you are.

People in modern society are confused about the meaning, purpose, significance and value of their lives. The society sets goals for them that involve for the most part, material satisfactions through acquisition of wealth, family, and enjoyment, without any further insight provided as to why one should be doing these things.

The weather here is finally breaking, which means increased opportunities to observe and partake in the great outdoors. The budding trees, the growing green grass, the light breeze, bird songs, sound of lawn mowers, and people walking and jogging about are all clear signs of spring. It truly is a wonderful time of year when the temperature is perfect and the spirit of rejuvenation is in the air. Each rejuvenating exercise or experience ripples out as positive effects to Mothe

There are so many unimaginable things that happen in our life, and how many unexpected news we hear in life. For instance plane crashes, bombing, fire, earthquake, tsunami, etc. A person exists at one moment, and is no more in the next! Many meet death in accidents, while many die of hunger. Different types of diseases take their own toll. There are kids who come dead, while few get born, die in no time. Some are by birth, disabled, and some when they grow choose to commit su

The human being is actually composed of a number of “sheaths” as described in the Taittiriya Upanishad. The outer form is the physical sheath. Informing the physical sheath with energy and responsiveness is the vital sheath. More subtle than the vital sheath is the mental sheath that provides cognition on an individual level. Then comes the ‘knowledge’ sheath that brings a wider understanding and awareness, and then comes the ‘bliss’ sheath which integrates the individual into the universal manifestation and which then brings the bliss of existence into the individual frame.

Some believe that it is impossible to change human nature. They repeat the proverb that one cannot straighten out a dog’s tail, but it will return to its former status time and again. Some become frustrated and essentially fight with their body, vital being or mind, wherever the movement they desire to change resides. Some try to suppress the movement with force, and some through intimidation of torturing the body when an impulse arises which they do not want to accept.

The yogic trance state called ‘samadhi’ has several levels, including one that is known as ‘with seed’ and one ‘without seed’. The difference essentially is that the level ‘with seed’ means that it still retains the capacity to be broken by the intrusion of exte al stimuli and internal reaction or awakening of suppressed items in the consciousness.

Through ambition or impatience, the spiritual seeker may try to rush the spiritual progress, and in many cases, this is attempted through various forms of overt or sublimated violence. The overt forms include various extreme penances or even self-punishment, while the sublimated forms may include internal reactions of self-doubt, suicidal thoughts, or inner turmoil of struggle. All of this, however, simply reinforces the focus on and strength of the ego-consciousness, and thus, does not achieve the intended result.

There are many different spiritual disciplines and methods, and also different experiences of consciousness that result from practice of these methods. For those who aspire to bring the soul, the psychic being, forward and active in the physical body and life, Sri Aurobindo describes several methods.

One can clearly appreciate the unique nature of the integral yoga when one reflects on the preparation needed for the practice when compared to the preparations required for numerous other paths of yoga. The 8 steps set forth in Patanjali’s yoga sutras include two preparatory stages, called yamas and niyamas. These set forth purifications of the physical, vital and mental being so that the further practices can bear fruit and not wind up harming the practitioner.

It is a malady of modern society that we believe we must stay constantly busy, We do not understand nor appreciate the value of quiet time for contemplation and stepping outside of the whirl of day to day activities to unite our awareness with that of the consciousness which manifests in the universal creation. Everyone is ‘busy’ while very few are actually accomplishing anything of note. Modern society prods us into this buzz of constant motion.

It seems that people fall into two camps. Either they believe in a personal form of divinity, God, or savior, or they don’t. For those that do not believe in a personal form of the Divine, there is a belief in some impersonal machinery of unknown origin or purpose. These two however need not be mutually exclusive; rather, the division is due to the way we process concepts with our mentality, which seems to prefer ‘either/or’ choices and black and white distinctions.

The cultural background of the West clearly differs from the background found in India, which has a history of spiritual development stretching back thousands of years. Westerners tend to have difficulty with the concept of surrender to the Guru’s guidance, whereas in India, this is an accepted concept and thus, fits more perfectly into the psychological framework of the people.
