A Technique to Shift to Another Domain of Consciousness

1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,560
It is a well recognized
phenomena that when an

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:08,760
individual focuses his
concentration down to a single

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,400
point and fixes it there long
enough, he suddenly can shift to

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,960
a new domain of consciousness
and everything becomes wide,

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,600
clear and known from that new
standpoint.

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,720
There is a yogic practice called
Trotek which has the individual

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,600
fixes focus on a flame, a candle
or some other bright object

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,760
until he passes out of the
external consciousness into that

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,040
new domain.
This can also occur through

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,720
focus on a mantra or through
concentration of conscious force

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,320
tapasia on a single subject.
The 3rd chapter of the Tituria

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Upanishad has the seeker
practicing Tapasia in order to

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,480
realize the truth of existence.
He systematically increases his

14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,879
concentration until he
transcends the ordinary external

15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,680
viewpoint and reaches a stage of
enlightenment.

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,840
The mother observes quote.
One can learn how to identify

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200
oneself.
One must learn.

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200
It is indispensable if one wants
to get out of one's ego.

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,520
For so long as one is shut up in
one's ego, 1 can't make any

20
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,960
progress.
How can it be done?

21
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160
There are many processes.
I'll tell you one.

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,000
When I was in Paris, I used to
go to many places where there

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,800
were gatherings of all kinds,
people making all sorts of

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,880
researches, spiritual, so-called
spiritual, occult researches,

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,800
etcetera.
And once I was invited to meet a

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,880
young lady, I believe she was
Swedish, who had found a process

27
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,720
of knowledge, exactly a process
for learning.

28
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,720
And so she explained it to us.
We were 3 or 4.

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Her French was not very good,
but she was quite sure of

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,960
herself.
She said it's like this.

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,000
You take an object or make a
sign on a blackboard or take a

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,160
drawing that's not important.
Take whatever is most convenient

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720
for you.
Suppose, for instance, that I

34
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520
draw for you.
She had a blackboard.

35
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480
I draw a design.
She drew a kind of half

36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,200
geometric design.
Now you sit in front of that

37
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,440
design and concentrate all your
attention upon it.

38
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,680
Upon that design which is there,
you concentrate.

39
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,080
Concentrate without letting
anything else into your

40
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,640
consciousness except that your
eyes are fixed on the drawing

41
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,040
and don't move at all.
You are as if we're hypnotized

42
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
by the drawing.
You look.

43
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,760
And so she sat there looking.
You look, look, look.

44
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,600
I don't know.
It takes more or less time, but

45
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,840
still, for one who is used to
it, it goes pretty fast.

46
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,880
You look, look, look.
You become that drawing you are

47
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,200
looking at.
Nothing else exists in the world

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,000
any longer except the drawing.
And then suddenly you pass to

49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,440
the other side.
And when you pass to the other

50
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,440
side you enter a new
consciousness.

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,800
And you know, we had a good
laugh, for it was amusing.

52
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,880
But it is quite true.
It is an excellent method to

53
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920
practice.
Naturally, instead of taking a

54
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,120
drawing or any object, you may
take, for instance, an idea, a

55
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,640
few words.
You have a problem preoccupying

56
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,880
you.
You don't know the solution of

57
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,200
the problem well, you objectify
your problem in your mind, put

58
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,400
it in the most precise, exact,
succinct terms possible, and

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,960
then concentrate, make an
effort.

60
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,120
You concentrate only on the
words and, if possible, on the

61
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,920
idea they represent.
That is, upon your problem.

62
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:25,120
You concentrate, concentrate,
concentrate until nothing else

63
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,920
exists but that.
And it is true that all of a

64
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,120
sudden you have a feeling of
something opening and one is on

65
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,040
the other side, the other side
of what it means that you have

66
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,200
opened the door of your
consciousness and

67
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,400
instantaneously you have the
solution of your problem.

68
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,680
It is an excellent method of
learning how to identify

69
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,280
oneself.
