When we happen to identify ourselves with certain parts of the being, such as those parts that are conscious, or which are aware of the divine Presence, we generally fail to recognise that this is not the entirety of our being, nor that other parts of the being, with different types of needs, desires, demands and predilections, may act in opposition to, or at least, without active support for, the spiritual consciousness. It is thus that we may have spiritual experiences and realisations, and yet have vital movements, physical conditions or mental directions that fail to live up to the implica

As we begin to experience realms of awareness other than that of our current primary body-life-mind complex, we can begin to appreciate that there are further, higher states of conscious awareness that can be experienced, and which have powers of insight, and ways of working that are far different than the normal processing of linear thought that represents our mental consciousness. We tend, in our current mental standpoint, to process things in a step-by-step manner with very narrow framing around whatever we are trying to understand.

There has been a long-standing debate between religion and science, centered around the question of faith versus the search for truth through the use of the mind and its powers. This raises several questions, however, about the type and nature of the faith, and the type and nature of the mental action. There is no necessary or irreconcilable division between them, but we need to understand the situation more in depth to find the point where they coexist and actually support one another.

In order to know something, we need to utilize the tools and methods appropriate to whatever form or energetic action we are trying to know. Those things which rely on emotion, for instance, cannot be fully understood by the logical intellect. Similarly, the strict step by step process of mathematics is not something that the vital nature or the emotions in general can comprehend. This is actually one serious cause of misunderstanding between people, as they try to communicate with one another from vastly different perspectives and starting points.

Scientists and medical practitioners have studied hypnotism and even applied it in various situations. They raise some doubts due to studies that did not completely follow the highest double-blind standards used in medical research; nevertheless, hypnotism has been found to have some very clear practical uses and benefits and is utilized in a variety of situations including treatment of anxiety, stress, helping to overcome addictions such as smoking, sleep disorders and chronic pain, as well as providing benefits to reduce pain in acute situations.

There are hidden forces, vibrational patterns that move between people that remain unseen, but have their effect, similar to the way that we do not observe electricity, but we do observe its effects. These vibrational patterns operate without any overt, exte al medium, simply through communication of the vibrations from one vital being to another.

A yogic discipline focused on the abandonment of life does not take pains to develop the inherent powers and capacities of the body, life-force and the mind. In fact, the powers of these elements of the human instrument are instead considered to be lures, obstacles and impediments to the realisation. The focus on escaping the ‘illusory’ life of the exte al being implies that any attempt to develop the body, life or mind is wasted effort and a distraction.âSome take this to the extreme of not exercising, accepting whatever food happens to come their way, and not caring about basic issues of hy

With our normal human viewpoint based in the standpoint of the ego we react as if the entire world revolves around us. This ego-centric, anthropocentric viewpoint creates its own formidable limitations in terms of recognising, perceiving, knowing and addressing the larger forces at work. If we step out of the ego-standpoint for a moment we can see that there is an entire universal creation with galaxies, suns and planets, moving and producing energetic radiation, and we have no real idea why this all exists or what it is all about.

When Life evolved out of Matter, substantial transformations occurred. What was not possible in a purely material world suddenly became not only possible, but a key principle. Matter itself, to accommodate the life force, had to become more fluid, more flexible and responsive to changes that could not be conceived of when looking at the material universe.

One of the reasons that spiritual seekers have traditionally been advised to seek solitude and not engage in society is that there is a constant, subliminal interchange that takes place between all human beings. We generally do not notice it, but on an energetic, a vibrational level, we are constantly receiving (and sending) vibrations that impact how we respond to situations, what we are feeling, and even what we are thinking about in many cases.

There are many functions of our existence that take place without the conscious awareness or intervention of the mind. All of the complex functions of the body and its organs, for instance, are very much independent of control by our conscious mind and will, although some of these functions may, through intensive training and focus, come under at least partial control, such as the generation of inner heat in the Tibetan practice of tummo.

Desires, actions, and manifold anxieties are in reality all aspects that belong to the body and name. They are merely unfolding. And as they unfold, owing to ignorance of the Self (the real Self), in each circumstance, we experience attachment and abhorrence internally. Consequently, we get bound by merit or demerit karma accordingly. Hence, the root cause of our bondage is our ignorance of the real Self.rnWhilst we continue to believe the name and body to be our self, we wil

Jules Verne, a writer who was not himself a scientist, nevertheless inspired generations of scientists.

If we observe the trajectory of human development, we can see a very clear direction taking shape. As we have become more conscious of the stages of life, and the processes that accompany those stages, including the increasing weakening and deterioration of the body and the life energy, and the eventual breakdown and thus, the movement toward the death of the body, we also have taken steps to learn how to increase health, wellness and longevity.

The vital worlds are generally unseen and unrecognised by us, as they do not take physical forms in the same way as our exte al world within which we live and act. This does not imply, however, that they do not have interaction with our world and the beings, including ourselves, that inhabit this physical world. Almost everyone has the experience of some event that occurs in a dream-state or in other circumstances where our mind and senses are shifted away from the focus and attention demanded by the outer world. The phenomenon of astral projection is one such circumstance.

Some spiritual seekers follow the path of knowledge, utilizing deep meditation in a trance-state called Samadhi, to put aside all interaction with the exte al world and focus intensely on the unification with the Supreme Truth, and liberation from the life of the body. Their goal is thus for a status outside the world of life and action. For these seekers, the world is an illusion that needs to be overcome so as to provide them an ‘exit ramp’ from the world. These individuals ‘de facto’ do not accept the manifested creation as having any real and substantive purpose or goal, and they seek sim

Spiritual seekers are frequently advised not to indulge in or display any ‘powers’ that arise along the way. Patanjali, in his Yoga Sutras, describes a number of powers that can arise naturally through the practice of Yoga, and seekers throughout the ages have validated the reality of powers that develop as the concentration of force, tapasya, effectuates openings in the various energy centres of the being, and as the powers of the vital being and the mind are activated.

Many people hold that the truth of existence is an “either/or” proposition. If the universal forces create all of existence, then the individual is essentially an illusory conception; and on the other hand, if the individual is a real and separate entity, then the universal is somehow denied or disproven. It is however not necessary to go to either of these two extremes in our understanding of our existence in relation to the universal manifestation. Sri Aurobindo resolves this conflict in chapter 4 of The Life Divine, a chapter titled ‘Reality Omnipresent”.

While most people envy individuals with greater success, fulfilling friendships and a vast amount of money - no matter who you are looking at, they too are suffering. The richest and most successful people are also having to suffer. And the poorest and least conventionally successful individuals also are suffering. What is the reason why people suffer and experience pain? rnThe science of karma states that whatever we encounter or experience in this life is the result of our

When a scientist studies the physical properties of matter and energy, and thereby creates an invention that can do things such as communicate voice or sound wirelessly across the world, or predict general weather patterns, or develop pharmaceutical drugs or vaccines that can cure, mitigate or prevent serious diseases, we seem to take these things for granted.

When we begin to reflect on the role of thought in the creation of forms in the world, it becomes clear that it is an important part of the process of converting pure conscious awareness into the world of vital action and physical substance. Thought is a tool of consciousness. When properly utilized, it has the power to shape matter and life. We see this in the way we manipulate material substance in the modern world.

If we observe the way we receive energy normally, we can determine that the sun is the immediate source of physical energy and it then gets transformed, or converted, into other forms of energy including life energy. The first step in this transformation comes about through the ability of plants to turn solar energy into life-energy. The plants then store the produced energy, using some of it for growth and some for life activities. Animals, in turn consume plants to obtain a share of this physical energy which they need to survive and thrive.

Many spiritual seekers in today’s world dismiss the need to develop the mind and its inherent powers. The mind is seen as the obstacle to the attainment of the greater knowledge that accompanies spiritual development. This understanding is rooted in the larger belief that spiritual growth implies a separation and abandonment of the life in the world, a belief that took hold with the ascendancy of Mayavada and similar schools of thought around the world that placed primacy on spiritual realisation at the expense of the development of the inherent powers of the mind to develop and refine the lif

Perhaps the biggest impediments to the exercise of the occult powers native to the human condition is our lack of willingness to acknowledge these powers for what they are, and our lack of attention and focus on understanding, developing and exercising them. When extraordinary circumstances arise, and we actually concentrate our minds, things may take place that we do not associate with the direct action of our minds. Perhaps they occur out of sequence with our action, or at a distant place, or in an unexpected manner.

Several years ago there was a world-wide pandemic that affected many tens of millions of people, which was called the covid-19 pandemic. It provided us a clear opportunity to see the impact of fear on the reactions of people. Panic ensued. Stores closed, public access was shut down in many places, people tried to avoid the pandemic by staying at home and minimizing their interaction with other people, keeping their distance, using face masks, protective gear such as plastic shields and using a lot of hand sanitizer products.

Some societies have attempted to solve the the complex problems humanity is facing through massive attempts to educate and regiment the life of the individuals making up that society. These attempts rely on the idea that by controlling the education the society can create more or less “cogs in a machine”, and they try to develop patterns of living that essentially effaces individual uniqueness or creativity. Massive experiments have been tried.

In his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo defines the conditions and qualities of faith needed to overcome all obstructions or disasters: “To walk through life armoured against all fear, peril and disaster, only two things are needed, two that go always together — the Grace of the Divine Mother and on your side an inner state made up of faith, sincerity and surrender. Let your faith be pure, candid and perfect.

Our consciousness tends to be so fluid and so mixed that it is difficult, if not practically impossible, to distinguish what represents our own internal process and what is coming to us from outside, from our interaction with others, from environmental influences. None of these things remains pure and unadulterated. There is a constant mixing process that goes on. We can observe the thoughts. We can observe the emotions. We can observe the vital reactions. We can observe the physical responses.

Throughout human history, mankind has turned to religion in an attempt to address or solve the problems of human life. In many cases, charismatic leaders have arisen who, through their teaching and their personal example, have inspired people to make changes in their individual lives, and there is no doubt that in this sense, religion has played a role in helping to guide and enhance the lives of individuals, and in some cases, through various disciplines associated with the religion helped to foster an opening to spiritual experience and development.

Matter, prepared and encoded with the dataset required to bring forth Life, does not spontaneously, on its own express the life-form for which it is encoded. The seed, or the egg, remains potential, latent, until it is acted upon by a force exte al to it. In the case of the seed of a plant, the sun’s force combined with the action of moisture, leads to the sprouting of the seed. In the case of an animal’s egg, we find that a heat source is needed to warm the egg until it is ready to hatch.

We are able to perceive and respond to specific frequency ranges. Anything above, or below the frequency ranges to which we are attuned, does not register with us consciously, although there may be some subtle impact and energetic action that takes place, even so. We see that in the case of the opera singer who can shatter glass when she reaches a certain note and pitch, that the glass vibrated only when that frequency was attained and otherwise, remained stable in its constitution of being a vessel of glass.

Enormous forces are at work in the universe. Vast numbers of stars and their planetary groupings move at high speed. Radiation of various sorts streams throughout the universe. There is a cosmic background radiation that scientists can now measure as they develop ever-finer instrumentation to try to understand the universal creation. Here on earth, we exist due to the radiation provided by the sun which provides the energy needed to sustain life on the planet. We are subject to gravitational forces including the influence of the Moon.

We recognise that there are ocean currents which circulate ocean water world wide and regulate the climate. We also recognise that there are air currents which we can partially observe through the soaring of birds who let the air currents carry them along, and experience directly if we are participating in the sport of hang gliding, or operating an air balloon or small airplane. Meteorologists refer to the jet stream and the movement of air in consistent patterns is a well-known and accept phenomenon, on which we rely and which we utilize constantly.

When we can once appreciate and accept the fact that forces, unseen by us, unperceived by our senses, can, and do, act upon us, pushing us to act in certain ways, pressing on us to move in certain directions, it is but a small step to recognize that there are beings who inhabit these unseen and unperceived regions and that they have their own goals, objectives, agendas which they carry out, but in their own sphere, and in their action upon the physical world.

The Mother clarifies a distinction between receiving the universal vital forces directly and receiving them through a vital interchange with other individuals. These two methods represent two entirely different statuses of consciousness. To receive the universal vital forces directly, a wide and receptive consciousness is needed. Many people do not appreciate that this is an actual, palpable experience of wideness, not restricted to a mental status.

Traditional paths of yoga describe the various chakras, or subtle energy centers, that act as collecting and disseminating points for various specific vibrational patterns related to the action of that specific chakra. Certain paths, such as various Tantric disciplines as well as the well-know Kundalini Yoga, take up this knowledge and apply it to the growth of consciousness and the realization of the Divine and liberation of the individual from the exte al personality and the ego.

The imposition of the exte al world on our mind and senses is so powerful that we don’t pay attention to the vast universe of galaxies and stars. In former times, before the world was widely illuminated by lighting at night, there was at least some opportunity for people to be outside at night, and see the broad array of stars, and wonder about what it all meant. In today’s world, however, one would have to go to a remote location, or to a place that had no electrification, to even see the stars most of the time.

We tend to operate under the fallacy that any spiritual force that is operative will automatically, and completely, achieve its intended result without difficulty. We forget, thereby, the way forces actually work in the world. There are always starting points, conditions, limitations, and opposing forces, as well as the object upon which the force is working and its status, and the overall situation within which the operation is taking place.

Sri Aurobindo describes the very traditional understanding of the awakening of the yogic force in the being and its ascent upwards from the Muladhara Chakra to the crown of the head where it meets the Divine Consciousness and thereby brings into the being the higher force to transform the life and the nature. He points out elsewhere that the Force can also enter from above and work its way downward, and that method may prove safer for the seeker.

We start from the ego-consciousness and we treat ourselves, from that standpoint, as independent, separate and “walled off” from all other beings, interacting with them from our insulated status. When we then turn to spiritual growth and development from this standpoint, we start by looking at it as something that the individual can “accomplish” regardless of the status of the rest of humanity or the world as a whole.
