The Ego-Standpoint Bias — the Basis of Self-Deception

We tend to have a more or less hidden bias in favor of our own view or position in various matters, which carries out at each level of the ego-standpoint, individual, family, community, religion, country, etc. as it expands its scope. We tend to see things from our unique viewpoint and not take into account the viewpoint of other stakeholders in the event, situation or interaction.

The Exploration of Inner Space

Humanity has developed a method for exploration of the world around us, and in recent times, the exploration has expanded to include exploration under the vast oceans, exploration of the solar system and further reaches of outer space. Attention has now turned to the internal foundations of life and new technologies allow us to map genomes and discover how the machinery of physical existence functions. All of this exploration however, relates to our surface lives, our physical body and its surroundings, and the vital and mental opportunities that arise through our life experience.

The Power of the Evolved Soul to Tread the Spiritual Path

We frequently hear people speak about the ‘law of attraction’. In most cases, they treat this as some kind of method or ‘trick’ to attract wealth, fame or other objects of desire to them, through use of a sort of mental focus or vital magnetism effect. The true ‘law of attraction’ however is much more subtle and not focused on the gratification of the exte al being and its desires, but based on the way that an evolved soul is able to link to the higher divine purpose and intention and organise the entire being around the dictates of that higher purpose.

What does it take to find your purpose and true meaning in life? What is involved?

To know ‘who am I?’, the knowledge of the Self! Only when we know really who am I, based on that can we envision the right purpose and true meaning in life. Until we do not understand ‘who am I’, the purpose and meaning of life remains restricted to doing something, be it something good, great or best that we do or it could be even bad, worse or worst that we may do. But we do not recognize our own Self. The way people see us, we too see and identify ourselves in that

Awakening and Transformation of the Subconscious Must Precede Change at the Inconscient Levels of Existence

The inconscient level is a substratum for the broader manifestation and is not tied to any particular individual. Before anything can be done to effectively wake up and energize the inconscient, the task of the spiritual seeker is to bring down the light and consciousness through all the higher planes of the being, and then work on becoming conscious of and transforming the subconscious level, which includes both general and individualised aspects. An individual’s own experiences sink down into the subconscient and remain embedded there, waiting to manifest when the conditions ripen.

Consciousness in the Unconscious

How can something arise out of nothing? How can consciousness develop out of unconscious matter? Western science has tried to explain how life and mind can arise through random recombination of atoms and the impact of energetic forces on these atoms, but Western science has not explained where these ‘building blocks’ of existence come from and how they know what to do. If we look into the elements, and then into the atoms that make up the elements, we see that there is a consciousness at work in what we call the unconscious material universe.

Small Vital Entities and Their Action in Human Life

The Mother relates two stories here about interactions she personally had with some small entities. One group were of good will and acted to remind her of things when she was otherwise distracted. She was able to pay attention to their hint and ensure that all worked out properly. It takes a great deal of quietness of the mind and development of a sensitivity to the touches of these vital entities to be able to recognise the hints and make use of them.

Where can one human being find real happiness in this world of society?

Every society in the world undergoes changes. These changes are influenced by the environment, technology, climate, people, interaction, the way we live, and many more factors. And amidst so many changes taking place all around, to find real happiness that remains constant is impossible! Therefore if a human being is in search of real happiness, he should seek happiness from something which is steady, everlasting and eternal, and not from material wealth and possessions, that

Who is right in the battle of the heart vs the mind?

Obviously, it’s the heart! rnGenerally, one’s mind is in control of the intellect. So, actually it’s a battle between the heart and the intellect.rnThe Enlightened One beautifully highlights how to distinguish whether it’s the heart or the intellect ruling at the moment. He explains: rnIn order to have it my way, if I cause you hurt, and yet care a damn about it; if I say, “It has to be done, what are you cribbing about?” At that time, my intellect was in action.

How much do our negative or positive thoughts affect our real life?

Our thoughts shape who we are and how we interact with the world around us. Therefore it becomes important to have a positive outlook in our daily life. We always hear people saying, “Be positive.”rnIt is because studies have shown that having positive emotions, one can improve their health; the chances of getting illnesses reduce and it helps us grow in many aspects of life and spirituality. On the other hand, studies have also shown that prolonged negative emotions can

The Mental Process and Developing Independence of Thought

We may believe that we create our own thoughts and ideas, but a close examination makes it clear that streams of thoughts, ideas, mental energies are constantly bombarding us, both overtly through what we read, what we hear, what we see and what we experience, and covertly through the subtle impinging force of thoughts in the “mental field” that is created through the action of the mental consciousness in its own plane and impinging on our earthly existence.

The Nature of the Subconscient Level of Consciousness in Man

European culture takes credit for ‘discoveries’ that it makes despite the fact that societies in other parts of the world have long known about these things. Thus, Europeans ‘discovered’ America while disregarding the fact that it was already populated with numerous tribes of indigenous people, and had been visited by Scandanavian Vikings much earlier than the European “discovery”.

Time Perspective on Achieving Spiritual Realisations and Change of Human Nature

Life is so short! When one wants to accomplish something extraordinary or difficult, it takes considerable time and focus. If we reflect however, that the first 16 years or more are formative years and are focused on physical growth, development of vital powers of action, and cultivating the inherent mental powers of the human being (if the individual is not held back by factors such as disasters, wars, famine, mass migration, hunger, etc. of course).

Occultism and Our Daily Lives

We rarely reflect on the occult powers that we use all the time, automatically, including the various powers of the mind and emotions. Researchers in the field of medical science have now recognized the important role that our mental state has on our health and well-being. They now admit the ‘mind-body’ connection and teach us how to harness the power of positive affirmation and visualisation in our immune strength and in recovery from any illness or injury.

Other Domains and Worlds Exist Beyond the Limits of Our Waking Awareness

When we reflect deeply on the development of life and mind out of Matter, it becomes clear that they are not able to manifest in Matter if they do not already exist in their own right and in their own domain. Seers and mystics have described vital worlds. Teilhard de Chardin described a mental sphere, which he called the ‘noosphere’ which encompassed the mental force in its own right. Similar to the ionosphere, or the biosphere, the noosphere created a range of its own vibratory level within which the actions of mentality could take place.

What Is Meant by Spontaneity and How to Apply It

There are two types of spontaneity and each of them proceeds from a different cause and has a vastly different effect. Spontaneity is generally understood in the context of responding ‘naturally’ to situations without a lot of thinking, planning or detailed consideration of one’s actions or their consequences. It is important to distinguish the two types of spontaneity to understand when and how it should (and should not) be applied.

What is the relation between energy, God, soul, light, sound, consciousness, causal body and desire? Also, what is moksha/liberation?

Let’s first understand the meaning of the terms, which in turn shall automatically help us establish the relation between them. Energy Energy signifies the power or strength. Soul is the life-energy (chetan)! rnIt is due to this energy that growth happens. If you tie grains, they sprout. But if you tie pebbles, would they grow? No! So, where growth happens, there is Soul there. It is because of this life-energy that there is growth, there’s knowledge of pain and happiness

Challenges of a Transitional Phase for Transformation of Earthly Life

When we reflect on the difficulties involved with both the transformation of the individual to a spiritual, gnostic consciousness and the need for this individual change to proliferate and transform society, it becomes necessary to focus on what the transitional phase or steps might be and how this might be effected. It is not sufficient, obviously, for an individual here or there to undergo this transformation in isolation.

How to Establish Unity in the Being

The Mother advises that the way to establish unity in the being is to treat the psychic being or the central aspiration as the guiding principle, and then observe and manage the mind, the life-energy and the body to conform to the intentions expressed by that central guiding principle. It is interesting to note that when the seeker finds a movement in the exte al being that does not meet this criteria, he is asked to treat the “recalcitrant parts as disobedient children.”

The Creation of Karma — the Interaction of Forces and Consequences

Many people consider the concept of ‘karma’ to be some form of moral retributive factor that brings back to an individual the ‘fruits’ of his actions. Thus, they believe, if a man does something considered wrong, dishonest, underhanded, the universal law of karma will eventually right the score. In the Christian religion this takes the form of belief that those who are oppressed and treated badly here on earth will eventually go to heaven and enjoy ete al life, while those who do the oppression will suffer endless torture in hell. We always look for some direct line of ’cause and effect’.

The Mechanism of Action Of the Subconscient in Relation to the External Being

When we respond to a vibration, either at the physical level, the vital level or the mental level, we open a pathway for that vibration to impact us in some way, and, having once been accepted for admittance, it creates a propensity for us to admit it the next time it comes our way. In this way, a habit of response is built up. This idea is validated by scientists who track neural pathways, and who indicate that a repeated experience builds up ‘grooves’ in the pathways of the brain which allow impulses to traverse them more quickly and easily.

The Two Beings of Man: the External Self and the Inner Self

As long as we focus our attention on the surface perceptions, events and actions, we respond to the vibrations associated with those things. We may focus on our physical needs, our vital desires, our mental interests, our emotional states, or on our aesthetic and artistic sensibilities, or on simply forms of entertainment to create enjoyment of these exte al events and sensations. We can see quite easily that focus on one area tends to reduce or eliminate our ability to focus on another area, even in these exte al perceptions.

Listening and Heeding the Voice of the Soul

The voice of reason, the urging of desire, the warning of what we call the conscience, all of these are aspects of the inner dialogue that takes place within the individual as he determines his direction and his response to life situations. None of these are, however, the voice of the soul. How can we distinguish the voice of the soul from these other elements?

Overcoming the Influence of the Subconscient on the Physical Body

We understand that there is an electro-magnetic spectrum, ranging from very short wavelengths to extremely long wavelengths. We can visualize the color spectrum with a similar range. There is also a sound spectrum. In each instance of a vibrational spectrum, there is a range within which we can consciously perceive the energetic movement, and there are ranges, both above, and below our range of perception.

Receptivity and Awareness of Occult Powers and Forces Does Not Come Through the Mental Faculty of the Intellect

it can be especially difficult for those who are highly educated in the field of Western science, medicine, or other studies that focus on the logical intellect of the mind, to actually appreciate and be receptive to the play of forces that occurs outside the normal perceptive range of the intellect. The educational process tends to create a blinkered view of reality; anything that does not fit within the walls of the mind and its senses is considered suspect or fake, even when it has palpable and observable effects.

The Evolutions of Forms in the Machinery of Nature

As we are basically fixated on the physical world within which we reside, we tend to look at the development of forms and the relationship of form to function on the physical level. Scientists such as Darwin studied the evolution of species. Mendel looked at the genetic factors that have later been charted to determine dominant or recessive traits and the method of transmission of these traits. It is clear from the work done by scientists that there is both an evolutionary “tree” of development and a specific methodology for specific species to pass along specific characteristics to maintain c

The Influence of the Soul on the External Nature or the Direct Relationship with the Soul in the Deepest Inner Being

It is common for an individual to take some kind of illumination of the mind, or some strong positive emotion in the heart, for instance, as a sign of their contact with the soul. Yet in many, if not most, cases the contact is with a mental or vital movement tinged with the influence of the soul, and thus, only a partial and diluted relationship to the divine essence at the deepest soul level. The Mother clarifies this in some detail:

To Become A Conscious Instrument of the Divine Force

The Mother identifies a distinction between those of goodwill who are ‘unconscious’ instruments of the Divine, and those who can and do become ‘conscious’ instruments of the Divine. Those with good will and aspiration may be guided or impelled to undertake actions which support the divine intention in the manifestation. If they are not fully conscious instruments, however, they will tend to have limiting or contrary movements that partially deflect the true and powerful direction intention.

Addressing the Contradictions Between the Spiritual Consciousness and the External Body-Life-Mind Complex

We have numerous historical anecdotes about individuals who were creative and productive in their own field, but who had elements of their being that seemingly could not hold the creative force easily and devoted into various forms of dissipation when they were not directly engaged in their creative pursuits. Many of these anecdotes relate to great artists in one field or another, painters, actors, musicians, composers, etc. It is apparent from their creative output that they were able to receive and communicate a great power of inspiration.

Making Progress Unconsciously

Sri Aurobindo describes in The Synthesis of Yoga, the long, slow process of evolution that occurs in nature, long before human beings become conscious of this process. He indicates that through the conscious participation of the spiritual aspirant, this process can be made conscious and speeded up. Thus, yogic practice can condense into a much shorter time span, progressive development that would otherwise potentially require hundreds of years, if not millennia. Thus, there is a certain amount of progress that occurs within the natural evolution, unseen and unrecognised due to both its tardy p

The Constant Effort Needed in the Yogic Practice

When people think about yoga, they generally think about practicing certain poses, or asanas, or doing certain breathing techniques, or chanting various mantras, reading certain books, meditation, or singing devotional songs, etc. Those who take up the practice of Raja Yoga follow an eight-fold path starting with various vital controls called ‘yamas’ and ‘niyamas’ followed by attaining a good seat, or asana, implementing specific breath controls, and then developing various mental concentration techniques to enter into a state of yogic trance.

The First Step in Unifying the Consciousness

The mind, vital, and physical body tend to pull one in different directions, based on their differing needs, wants or desires, and propensities. This creates a tension in the being when the pulls from these aspects come into conflict with one another. For instance, someone has the desire to become a proficient athlete and this requires a strict discipline as to diet and training; at the same time, certain foods are desired, or the being wants to simply relax and enjoy the day.

The Forces and Beings Active in Places of Worship

We tend to attract those energies, beings and forces to us that respond to the vibratory pattern of our thoughts, emotions, feelings, desires and physical state. Keeping this in mind, we can review our relationship to places of worship, whether a temple, mosque, church or other. Some individuals, and on some occasions, bring true devotion to the place of worship. Yet, we also see many other drives, desires and motives operating as people visit their local shrine. A major motive is desire.
