We frequently try to ‘know’ things based on a particular capacity of our being; however, this may not always be the correct way to appreciate and understand what is actually taking place. Trying to understand music, for instance, by applying the logical intellect and trying to parse the sounds, notes and combinations is going to be an exercise in futility. Music must be appreciated through a different type of evaluation than that of the logical intellect.

One of the ways we tend to limit ourselves is to decide, in advance, that we cannot succeed at something, that we don’t have the education, the experience, the skill or the necessary training to accomplish that task. We imprison ourselves within our narrow range by this type of mental restriction. Instead of experiencing life, trying to do new things, we give up before we start. A disciple asks: “Sometimes there are latent powers in us of which we are unaware. To do a work, how is one to know whether one is capable of doing it or not?”

For the most part, we live within a framework set for us by our parents, community, society, education and the individual choices we make as a result of these things. To some extent these things determine where we will concentrate our focus, what capacities we will practice and develop, and where we will direct our lives going forward. Once we get onto a specific road in life, we tend to stay on that road, for better or worse.

Everything we do represents an action of will. Even inaction winds up being a ‘willed’ action. We are provided a choice at each moment as to how to respond to circumstances, pressures, events, opportunities that lie before us. In many cases, however, we do not recognise the power of choice as we feel compelled to respond in a particular way, through instinct, habit, or conditioned, trained behaviour.

As science begins to recognise the fact that there are ranges of vibration outside of the limited scope that we can normally experience, and that countless reports of perceptions that are inexplicable based on the outermost physical reality that we have heretofore treated as our sole reality, we have seen a breaking down of the narrow and blinkered approach to knowing that has ruled humanity for so many millennia. The insights provided by quantum mechanics have also greatly upset our formerly orderly world-view about things, and forced us to look at reality from an entirely new perspective.r

Each successive plane of consciousness has a native action in its own domain and then, as it enters the material plane, it has to modify its action to conform to the limitations of the other principles. Thus, the native action of the vital plane is freer and more fluid and powerful than when the vital force manifests in the physical. Similarly, the native action of the mind is much more powerful when not limited by the instruments and incapacities or specific impulsions of the physical and vital nature as manifested here.

What makes us move in one direction or another? How do we choose, decide, set forth in one direction as opposed to another? There is the inner readiness that creates a sense of incompleteness, dissatisfaction or a view of something better, more perfect, more beautiful, more essential than what we experience now.

We are rarely conscious of the constant interchange taking place on the vital level of our being. Vital vibrations are constantly active in the world and all beings wind up being exposed to them and absorbing them. Those who live in more isolated locations tend to have less direct and intense exposure, simply because many of these vital forces are weak or tend to disperse over time and distance, or lose their intensity. Those who live in the midst of dense urban environments are subjected to all manner of vital forces that are constantly active, and which bombard them from all sides.

We recognise nowadays that actions of the mother impact the fetus in the womb. Certain things impact the physical development, including certain drugs or alcohol. Some drugs may cause physical deformities; others may impact the brain and nervous system. What is less frequently acknowledged, however, is the psychological impact of the mother’s experiences, thoughts and surroundings on the development of the unbo child.

If we review our lives through the lens of ‘history’, that is, looking back over the events of our lives from where we are today, we can see that things we thought, at the time, were positive things were in some cases, highly detrimental to us over time; and similarly, things we found distasteful or bad may turn out to have been very positive from this view.

There is a tendency in the human mind to create an artificial division between faith, based in the divine Grace, and effort, based in the mental, vital and physical being of the individual. Thus, if we have faith, we tend not to ‘worry’ about specific actions we can or should take. It is a type of fatalism that says that the Grace is watching over me, so whatever happens is for the best and I need not take steps to support or develop it. At the same time, the mind’s natural approach is to fragment, to divide, to question, to doubt and to hold conflicting ideas at one time or another.

The Dhammapada provides the spiritual seeker with a deep wisdom that forces us to reflect and gain understanding. The Mother has taken up a particular verse about the harm caused by a mind that is not tightly focused and under control. With some consideration we can understand the deeper intent.

When we try to define consciousness we tend to do it from an individual standpoint, our own state of awareness. From a broader perspective however, we can see that consciousness exceeds both in scope and power, that of the individual status. Western science is moving toward a view that will eventually agree with the insights of the ancient Rishis and sages, as it has definitively determined that Matter is a form of energy, and in fact, maintains immense energy potential locked up in the concentrated form that we call Matter.

A powerful technique for inner growth and understanding is to sit quietly and simply observe one’s thoughts and feelings as they arise. Then, trace back any of them to where and how it arose. What triggered it? Where did it come from? Initially it is difficult to successfully carry out this practice as the next thought comes along and we tend to jump to that one; however, with time and patience, one can begin to isolate any specific thought or feeling and track it backwards. Invariably one finds that something from outside triggered it, even if it seems to arise from inside oneself.

Whenever there is some kind of news headline about a major negative event, such as a school shooting, or a catastrophic earthquake or hurricane, we hear major political leaders express “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families. Everyone knows that there is no serious force behind this and it is intended to deflect from actually doing anything. It also makes us doubt the efficacy of ‘thoughts and prayers’ at all. Aside from the deliberate hypocrisy at work here, it is clear that no real force of consciousness and development of a powerful thought form was applied at all.

For those who can see vital energies and auras, the driving forces of any individual are quite easy to observe. One can observe this frequently in nightclubs where sexual energies are high and those with particularly powerful formations in this direction can be seen virtually radiating or oozing sexual energy. They choose their intended partner and direct their energy there, and more often than not, there is a response and the two meet and carry out their desired activity.

When we are injured or affected by a disease condition that can cause pain, we find that the nerves attached to the injured area capture a vibration and transmit it to the brain as a signal we associate with pain. This signal is intended to spur us to some form of action to relieve the causative factor.

We take the chatter in our minds for granted and do not attribute any real significance or power to it most of the time. The constant influx of thoughts is just a lot of background noise, for the most part. When we concentrate on something and focus the thoughts, we recognise that we can actually accomplish something with thought, but even then we do not generally recognise either the mechanism or the actual power of thought or the creation of thought-forms.

We typically live rooted in the ego-consciousness in the exte al, physical world. We judge things based on our perceptions, our physical, vital and mental processes and our habitual way of understanding things from the standpoint of the ego. This leads to a very limited and biased viewpoint that does not provide a complete view of things. We see a small slice of existence and try to judge from that.

One of the limitations of Mind embedded in a physical body is that it tends to fixate on what it can experience ‘here and now’. It has a hard time correlating past, present and future and seeing and understanding trends, directions, trajectories and momentum, other than in specific areas such as physics or mechanics that focus the mind on those things. Things that are unseen are for the most part either ignored or dismissed.

The Mother advises us that we are generally not aware of the action of all the subtle forces and how they interact to cause circumstances that occur in the exte al world. She further notes that with awareness, many accidents could be avoided. This reminds us of an incident reported some time back:

There is a clear divide between those who have actually experienced the action of spiritual or yoga-force, and those who have a mental conception of spirituality but have not had a strong experience thus far that makes the theory into something real and actual for them. Once the experience is there, it is impossible to deny its authenticity or power and it is no longer a subject of internal debate as to whether it is real.

We frequently remark on how young people act with a seemingly carefree attitude and take risks that older people would not take. This is due to the inherent trust they have in their body’s vital and physical resilience and powers of prevailing even in difficult or dangerous circumstances. As they age, they tend, in most cases, to gain more caution, as they come to realize that their bodies are not ‘immortal’ and they experience the pains and setbacks that tend to accompany the initial surge of trust in the life of the body.

Teilhard de Chardin described what he called a noosphere, a belt of mental energy that encompasses the earth, and which moves vibrations that can be perceived at the mental level and converted into thoughts and thought-forms. This is similar to the biosphere at the level of the life-energy and the ionosphere that protects the planet through absorption and reflection of solar radiation.

Every thought, every idea, every imagination, every focus, represents electrical impulses that are formed and projected into the general mental atmosphere, whether expressed verbally or in writing, or simply formulated in one’s mind. Each such formation is either weaker or stronger depending on its development in the mind, and whether, and to what extent, it is linked to the will or the emotions to provide it additional impetus.

Ascent and integration. Relentless effort. What many do not appreciate is that any attempt to achieve individual perfection or transformation is limited by the readiness of the world and the rest of humanity in particular, to accept those changes that are needed for this to occur.

Auto-suggestion is constantly active, although we generally do this more or less unconsciously. For example, when we anticipate a meal at a favorite restaurant, our mind sends signals to the body that generates feelings of hunger, begins to develop saliva, and prepares the body for enjoyment of the meal. It is often said that the mind is the most erotic organ as it is through mental attention that the sexual drive is most frequently activated and energized.

Each individual has his own unique types and levels of receptivity, and these too can vary over time. The universal forces are constantly there, but if an individual is closed off, unresponsive, then he does not gain the full benefit of that force. The ancient description of the energy centres in the subtle body, the chakras, holds that we receive energies through an ascending series of centres, and each one has its own characteristic action and expression.

Vital beings, by their very nature, take advantage of our ambitions, desires, greed, and fears to convince us to interact with them, and they then use these responses for their own enjoyment or nourishment. The more we are motivated by these vital drives, the easier it is for such beings to toy with us, as a cat will toy with a mouse before finally delivering it to its death.

A devotee reported several incidents that appeared to be the result of spiritual force. The first occurred in early 1973 in Los Angeles. He attended a talk by Udar Pinto of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and afterwards joined his party for dinner, at which there was extensive discussion. Udar told the devotee ‘you should come to the Ashram”. The devotee replied that he had no money and had no idea how he would be able to pay for the plane flight or a stay in Pondicherry, India.

There are a number of examples that lead to the conclusion that it is not medicine alone that cures the patient. A young man reported his own experience. He was visiting India in the early 1970’s and was afflicted by a severe case of amoebic dysentery while there, to the point that he was in extreme pain, bleeding and undergoing constant bowel disruption. He asked some people where he was staying how he should deal with the situation and they recommended a homeopathic doctor nearby.

Developing exte al power through the use of technology has several unexpected or unintended consequences. One of these, of course, is to give us powers of observation and action that were not available to us through the normal progression of physical, vital and mental development. In order to develop such exte al powers, a corresponding inner development is of course also required, as it requires a power of insight, intuition, imagination, perseverance, reasoning, etc. Thus, the development of any exte al power has a corresponding inner movement associated with it.

We see a proliferation of people who claim to act as intermediaries through a process of seance, or use of a Ouija board or planchette, to communicate with individuals who have passed away. The interest in this area goes through periods of peaks and troughs, but continually captures the popular imagination, particularly for people who are unwilling or unable to ‘let go’ of their deceased loved ones, or who have specific unfinished business for which they are seeking answers.

The idea that there is a ‘law of attraction’ has gained significant attention in the West over the last few decades. It has largely been interpreted by the materialistic mind of the West as a way to attract wealth and all forms of fulfillment of desire. This, however, is both a misreading and a misuse of the incredible power that lies within us to turn our attention and focus on some vibratory pattern, and thereby to create an environment in our lives where that pattern brings us into contact with all of its various aspects.

There is an occult tradition that a practitioner of certain arts can create a formation, send it out to act upon another individual, and thereby succeed in achieving his objective with that other person. The stories mostly revolve around sending forces to harm another individual, and they point out clearly that the formation, so developed, goes to do its work, but if it fails and gets rejected by the intended victim, it comes back on the originator with considerable force.

In our fragmented process of understanding, we frequently create an artificial separation that does not exist in reality. Thus, seekers sometimes undertake to find ways to draw on the universal vital energy, when in fact, it is through the flow of that energy that they live, breathe, exist, grow and undertake actions. A more precise formulation of their interest is how to tap into the universal vital force consciously, at will, and with enhanced power flow.

Spiritual seekers harness the powers of body, vital being, emotions and mind in order to develop and eventually attain the goal of their seeking. The power of dedicated work, the power of the breath, the power of devotion, the power of concentration all have a part to play in the seeker’s journey toward spiritual fulfillment. This is considered to be acceptable.

We live in a time of incredible feats of technological progress. Digital technologies, quantum computing, wireless transmission of energy, solar power, airplane flights, space flight, landing on the moon, instant communications of audio and video content world-wide are things we tend to take for granted. Just 50 or 100 years ago, however, many of these technological wonders were considered to be fanciful or the stuff of science fiction.
