Solving the Existential Crisis of Our Lives Through the Evolution of Consciousness: My Personal Journey in the Adventure of Consciousness

We struggle with finding meaning in our lives. There is so much strife, so much confusion, so many issues that threaten our very existence as a species. We view enormous changes to the environment, the ever-dwindling supply of fresh water, the imminent collapse of the ocean fisheries, increasing pollution, the sixth planetary species die-off, the clear-cutting of forests and the inexorable warming of the planet, with all the follow on effects that these things have, including income inequality, unequal access to the world’s resources, and the consequence of war, famine, mass migration, etc.

The Value of Mental, Vital and Physical Progress for Future Births

Of what possible value is the effort at mental, emotional, vital or physical progress to the soul if it cannot carry that progress forward into the next, and future lives. In his epic poem, Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol, Sri Aurobindo raises the issue: “But the oblivion that succeeds the fall, Had blotted the crowded tablets of the past, And all that was destroyed must be rebuilt And old experience laboured out once more.”

Understanding the Relationship of Various Parts and Planes of the Being to Our Current External Mental, Vital and Physical Consciousness

Sri Aurobindo frequently describes going inward to discover the deepest inner being, the psychic being, or soul, as one way to come into contact with the truth of one’s existence and unify one’s being with the Divine. This is a way to overcome the artificial wall of separation that we set up that treats the Divine as something “other” than who or what we are, essentially recognising the inherent oneness of the entire creation, rather than accepting the illusion of duality.

What does independence mean to you?

Independence generally means...rnnot depending upon another. Independence means there is no superior over us. Independence is when no one interferes. Independence is when one feels fearless that, ‘Nothing can cause any harm to me!’ Independence is experienced when one is totally free and liberated! Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Enlightened being, explains: rn“In reality, this world is truly independent and no one can interfere with another. And if it were not so, there

Is reincarnation a fact? Do we all have past lives? What does a soul carry with itself to the next life?

Reincarnation is the process by which the spiritual essence of an individual i.e. the Soul passes from one body to another in a repeated cycle of birth and death. The Soul is eternal. It never takes birth nor does it ever die. It always remains in its natural form as it is. However, when the Soul leaves the physical body, the life ends and the body dies. After leaving one body, the Soul, along with the ego and the other things, moves on to form another physical body, which is

The Evolutionary Progress of Nature and the Impact of the Conscious Participation of the Soul

Sri Aurobindo describes the long, slow process of development of the universal manifestation. There is an evolution of consciousness which takes place over time spanning many millennia, and which does not involve the conscious participation of the individual. At a certain point in time, when the human being develops and has achieved a certain level of self-awareness, he is able to participate consciously in this evolutionary process and thereby speed it up and make it more complete.

The Growth of the Soul

We become so used to all of the dark tendencies, hurtful energies and bad faith displayed throughout the world that we sometimes believe that this is the unchanging way that life is meant to be. What we often do not see is the secret evolutionary development of the soul, through time and circumstance, as it weaves its way through its various lifetimes of growth and development, and the interactions that occur with those who are at different stages in their own evolutionary progression, all of which, together, creates the mixed energetic reality that we see around us.

The Nature of the Subconscious

Most of the impressions we receive on a day to day basis go unremarked by our conscious awareness, but are nevertheless received and stored away in our subconscious levels. These impressions may rise to the surface during dreams, or be triggered by certain sensations, events or circumstances, without us actually recognizing where they are coming from. In particular, it is known that the sense of smell can trigger memories and feelings that come from some past experience. But it goes much further than just triggering of memories that have been encapsulated and stored.

The Growth and Evolution of the Soul

Most people are not directly aware of their soul, although it is frequently talked about. There seems to be much confusion. Western scientists have tried to determine the existence of the soul like they would measure particular chemical elements within the body. They weigh the body immediately before and then immediately after the time of death, and try to determine if there is any difference in weight. This approach assumes that the soul has weight and mass that would be measurable by our exte al measuring capabilities.

The Two Uses of the Mind and Its True Role in the Manifestation

The primary functionality of the mind is to organize and classify, breaking down and fragmenting the reality into component parts. We see this easily in the classification systems for flora and fauna, in our detailed review of the genetic structure of life, gene sequencing, and in our ability to catalog and name star systems, galaxies, etc. We break our social units down into sub-units made up of variations of gender, age, religion, skin color, educational level, financial status, and position in society, among other things.

Understanding the Physical Mind and the Process of Change

There is in Nature, a conservative force that resists change. There is a benefit inasmuch as it ensures that life does not devolve into chaos, and there is a further benefit that it forces the change-process to become much more solid and effective in order to eventually bring out the intended evolutionary result. The physical mind is that part of the mental aspect of the being which embodies this conservative force. It is rooted in the palpable, solid and visible exte al world and does not recognise, or accept easily, the reality of vital worlds, mental worlds or spiritual worlds and powers.

Becoming Aware of the Illusion of the External Life

Many people are begin to reflect, and even entertain the notion, that the world we experience on a day to day basis is somehow unreal or illusory. Films such as the dystopian story set forth in The Matrix envision that human beings are fettered and their brains wired so they experience a form of reality while their actual bodies and lives are turned into an energy farming activity. When they are disconnected from the matrix, they wake up to a bleak reality and an enormous struggle to free humanity from subjection to this terrible illusion.

How To Effect Permanent Change in the Subconscient Nature

It is often said that ‘you can’t change human nature’. One of the major obstacles turns out to be the seeds of all past habits, actions, behaviors, reactions and instincts that reside in the subconscious levels of the being. An individual may spend his life culturing his mind, his emotions and his vital nature. He may train the body and create an enormous power of will to impose his focus and his direction on the rest of the being; and yet, something occurs that suddenly awakens one of the embedded habits or instinctive reactions, and years of effort are seemingly lost.

The True Soul and the Desire Soul

The confusion about the soul is pervasive at virtually every level of our being. Sri Aurobindo identifies what he calls the ‘desire soul’ which is a formation of the vital being, living on the surface of the consciousness and seeking gratification of desires for the exte al being. The amalgam of thoughts, emotions, feelings, desires and needs of the exte al being makes up the ego-personality and its fulfillment is the essential role of the desire soul.

Remote Influencing For Effective Prayer The Christos Path

Remote influencing through the energetic sequence of the Christos path creates the opportunity and ability for manifestation through effective prayer. The request for assistance must come forth through the desire for self-empowerment, and not from the perception of the victim consciousness. This perspective generates low vibrational energetic patterns through a weakened connection to the higher energies, and creates an unsuitable environment for effective remote influencing.

Why does ego take an upper hand in our mind after we complete a tough task?

It is because the ego wants to take the accolade, it likes to be appreciated and recognised. Moreover, the ego loves to dwell in self-importance and control. Although ego is not able to do anything, yet it believes to be the ‘doer’ of every positive task that happens, and accordingly takes on the praise associated with the job. One takes credit for things that turn out good, but blames others or one’s own bad luck when things do not turn out as planned. “Ego will alwa

The Education and Uplifting of the Vital Nature

One of the most confusing issues for the spiritual seeker is the ‘care and feeding’ of the vital nature. We shift from one extreme to the other in our view of how to bring it under control, for it is virtually uniformly recognised that for spiritual development, the vital nature must be controlled. We may choose to try to suppress the vital nature, to prevent its natural predilections from expressing themselves. In such a case we tend to struggle with the impulses, urges, demands of the vital forces that surge within us.

The Nature and Action of the Physical Mind

Individuals who are primarily rooted in the function of the physical mind have a difficulty in accepting the reality of anything that goes outside their ability to sense and perceive. These individuals will frequently deny the existence of the soul because it cannot be seen, measured or recognised by them. They follow the general tenet “seeing is believing”, although in today’s world, that concept is quickly losing any validity, even for the physical mind, with the advent of complex situations, as well as photoshop and AI imaging.

The Value of Attaining the Standpoint of the Witness Consciousness in Understanding the Complexity of Interaction of the Parts of the Being

It has been famously stated that we cannot understand the system within which we are acting until we can shift our view to a standpoint outside that frame. As long as we are immersed within any particular system or standpoint, we are locked into the viewpoint and understanding embedded within that frame, and our ability to perceive and fully appreciate the forces acting upon us is both severely limited and extremely biased. To become the observer of the exte al nature, therefore, is a prerequisite for attaining both self-knowledge and self-mastery.

Spiritual Experiences Manifest When They Are Ready and When the Seeker Can Perceive Them

Our ability to perceive is limited both by the scale within which we are able to perceive, as well as the operation of the “all or nothing” phenomenon. Thus, events are occurring, activities are underway at wavelengths below those we can perceive, and above those we can perceive. At some point, the impact of those events that occur outside our frame, may have consequences within our frame, but until that occurs, we remain blissfully ignorant of the changes that are in preparation. Similarly, our sense organs have a threshold of perception.

Distinguishing Vital Movements from the Expression of the Psychic Being

It is not easy for most people to distinguish vital responses such as feelings or emotions from the true expression of the psychic being within them. This is primarily due to the fact that just about everyone bases themselves in the exte al surface being. We see this confusion when people see someone who has a deep emotional resonance, a longing or a feeling of human love or attachment and they call this a ‘soul’ relationship or expression. The vital nature may be influenced by the psychic being, but it still is busy carrying out its own movements and forms of expression.

The Vital Desire Soul and the True Soul of the Psychic Being

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother make a distinction between the ‘desire soul’ of the vital nature and the ‘true soul’ which expresses the inmost being that is a direct spark of the Divine. They differ in their focus, orientation, and basis of action. The desire soul incorporates the drives of the exte al being’s vital nature, the desires, emotions, impulsions that lead to the seeker after forms of power, wealth, sex, fame, and the fulfillment of the relationships which the individual has in his outer life, those of family, friends, and business associates etc.
