Conscious Rebirth by a Fully Developed Psychic Being, Part 1

1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
The Tibetan Book of the Dead
describes the period from the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,680
time of death to the adoption of
a new body.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,000
In a new birth the individual
departs the physical body, which

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,200
begins to decompose.
Next the vital sheath dissolves

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,040
and following that the mental
formations.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,600
All these external instruments
are left behind in the general

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600
case.
The Buddhist teaching does not

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320
identify a soul or psychic
being.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,760
Rather, it references the clear
light of pure awareness and the

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,960
stream of awareness that carries
out the cause and effect through

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,600
dependent origination based on
the energy and trajectory of

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,960
past actions.
However it is described, it is

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,280
clear that some form of
consistent awareness traverses

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,480
the state following the death of
an individual being in the

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,040
physical world and encounters
experiences and opportunities

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,240
whereby the past stream of
actions bring about the

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,000
conditions for assuming a new
birth in a new body, life, mind

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,720
complex.
Srioro Bindu and the Mother

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,000
recognized the existence of a
psychic being, a soul entity

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,760
which carries the pure awareness
beyond birth and death and

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,440
rebirth.
The psychic being accumulates

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,600
experiences in each lifetime,
and through that it grows and

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,640
matures in both its conscious
awareness and its power to

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,440
effectuate its focus on the
body, life force, and mind that

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,800
it assumes in each successive
birth.

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,640
The esoteric question arises
when we look at the stream of

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,760
consciousness that persists from
life to life and then attribute

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,480
to it awareness and agency.
We see that in the case of the

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,120
reincarnation of the Dalai Lama
and other similar cases that it

30
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,680
is possible for the
consciousness present in the

31
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,759
pure awareness or the psychic
being to direct and specify

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,040
future incarnation conditions.
How far can this ability go for

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,040
a fully awake and fully formed
psychic being?

34
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160
The mother clarifies that such a
developed soul need not take

35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,600
random births for further
experience, but can choose to

36
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,760
return to carry out a consistent
process and thereby carry with

37
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,600
it not just the essence of its
experiences but actual mental,

38
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840
vital, or physical capacities as
well.

39
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,760
While such an instance may be
extremely rare, it is useful to

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,720
understand this possibility, as
it may help to explain phenomena

41
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,160
we find in certain children with
special knowledge or capacities

42
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,160
that were clearly not developed
and new in their short

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,040
lifetimes.
A disciple asks mother, since in

44
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,400
each new life the mind and vital
as well as the body are new, how

45
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760
can the experiences of past
lives be useful for them?

46
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Do we have to go through all the
experiences once again?

47
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,120
The mother responds quote That
depends on people.

48
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,240
It is not the mind and vital
which develop and progress from

49
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,120
life to life, except in all
together exceptional cases and

50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,360
at a very advanced stage of
evolution.

51
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,000
It is the psychic.
So this is what happens.

52
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,960
The psychic has alternate
periods of activity and rest.

53
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,440
It has a life of progress
resulting from experiences of

54
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,200
the physical life, of active
life in a physical body, with

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,880
all the experiences of the body,
the vital and the mind.

56
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:04,080
Then normally the psychic goes
into a kind of rest for

57
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,760
assimilation, where the result
of the progress accomplished

58
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,400
during its active existence is
worked out.

59
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,160
And when this assimilation is
finished, when it has absorbed

60
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,440
the progress it had prepared in
its active life on Earth, it

61
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,080
comes down again in a new body,
bringing with it the result of

62
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,680
all its progress.
And at an advanced stage it even

63
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,320
chooses the environment and the
kind of body and the kind of

64
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,880
life in which it will live to
complete its experience

65
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,840
concerning one point or another.
In some very advanced cases, the

66
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:45,440
psychic can, before leaving the
body, decide what kind of life

67
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,600
it will have in its next
incarnation.

68
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,720
When it has become an almost
completely formed and already

69
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,960
very conscious being, it
presides over the formation of

70
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,000
the new body, and usually
through an inner influence, it

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,040
chooses the elements and the
substance which will form its

72
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,440
body in such a way that the body
is adapted to the needs of its

73
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,040
new experience.
But this is at a rather advanced

74
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,520
stage.
And later, when it is fully

75
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,800
formed and returns to earth with
the idea of service, of

76
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,120
collective help and
participation in the Divine

77
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,640
work, then it is able to bring
to the body in formation certain

78
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,720
elements of the mind and vital
from previous lives, which

79
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,120
having been organized and
impregnated with psychic forces

80
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,440
in previous lives, could be
preserved and consequently can

81
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,280
participate in the general
progress.

82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,280
But this is at a very, very
advanced stage.

83
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,520
