Comparing Current General State of Human Consciousness With More Evolved States, Part 5 Identification With the External Nature Versus Poise of Detachment

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,300
We generally experience
ourselves as our body life and

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,100
mind.
When we injure our body.

3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,700
We say that we have heard
ourselves when their hunger

4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:14,500
pangs.
We say that we are hungry.

5
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,900
When we experience an emotion,
we say that we have become angry

6
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:24,900
or are in love, or are feeling
lonely or depressed.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,200
Rene Descartes, famously stated.
I think therefore, I am showing

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,500
his sense that he was identified
with his mental consciousness.

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,200
When the body dies, we believe
that we die.

10
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:46,100
The tight area opening shot goes
through an exercise to show us

11
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:50,100
that we are not solely, the
body, the life force or the

12
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,500
mind.
But the that these are stages in

13
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:58,500
our self-awareness, that lead us
eventually with concentration to

14
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,600
the true causative levels of
knowledge and Bliss.

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400
The keynote punish odd makes it
clear that the powers of body

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,300
life and mind represented by
ugly, vile and Indra.

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Are not Supreme and that their
powers are nullified.

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,700
When faced with the Supreme
yoga, text speak about the

19
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,300
separation of purusa and
prakruti, the witness

20
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:27,800
Consciousness and the active
nature.

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,300
Other upanishads speak of two
birds on a common tree one,

22
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,200
observing.
While the other eats of the

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,300
fruit, all of these observations
are confirmed in the actual

24
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,000
experience.
When an Dividual slips into the

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,900
status of the witness himself
and experiences that he can view

26
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,500
his body, his life, and his
mind, as something separate and

27
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,200
external to him.
As if watching a motion picture,

28
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,800
the power of Detachment from
Total immersion in the outer

29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,900
external being represents a
stage of the development of

30
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:10,900
Consciousness As It prepares to
break out of the limits, imposed

31
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,800
by the ego Consciousness time.
To the body life.

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Mine complex.
Dr. Dalal observes, quote, in

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,900
the normal State Consciousness
is involved and identified with

34
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,500
its instruments, the body, the
vital nature.

35
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:33,300
And the mind, one feels oneself
to be the body thoughts and

36
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:39,000
feelings as Consciousness.
Evolved it experiences itself,

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,600
more and more as detached and
separate from the outer

38
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,800
physical, vital, and mental
nature.

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,300
Instead of being identified with
the movements of the outer

40
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:54,600
nature, it observes them as a
detached witness suck.

41
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:03,400
She to use a term of the Gita.
SRI aurobindo writes quote, it

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Consciousness can be detached,
it can be involved in the human

43
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,100
consciousness.
It is as a rule always involved

44
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,500
but it has developed the power
of detaching itself.

45
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,300
A thing which the lower creation
seems unable to do as the

46
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,400
Consciousness develops.
This power of Detachment also

47
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:31,000
develops And quote, reference
SRI aurobindo in the mother

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,900

of inner development
