Educating and Uplifting the Vital Nature: Part 2 Concepts and Principles of Action

1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,680
Gaining the cooperation of the
vital nature is an important

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,760
step in the transformation of
our existence, including the

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,280
upliftment of the physical
nature.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,600
Once we have begun the process
of observation of the vital

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,800
nature, its habits, and its
predilections, we can begin to

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,600
implement various methodologies
and techniques to reshape and

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,920
redirect its energies.
In order to do this effectively,

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,280
however, we must appreciate
certain principles and concepts

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,400
that govern the process.
Whichever specific techniques we

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,560
attempt, the vital nature will
naturally respond to leadership

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,640
that is built on trust, respect,
and a consistent, disciplined

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,440
approach.
It will remember if it is

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,520
allowed to go one way one day
and another way another day, and

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,640
it will then follow its own
inclination, expecting to get a

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,920
result consistent with what it
has observed in the process.

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,880
The vital nature responds most
effectively to a positive

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,720
approach of education rather
than a negative approach of

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
punishment.
A cheerful, supportive

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,960
encouragement is far superior to
an approach based in instilling

20
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:28,040
fear or utilizing pressure to
suppress or outright deny the

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,640
expression of the vital.
And conversely, one should not

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,200
take an attitude of fear in
relating to the vital nature and

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,480
its reactions.
Love and joy are more effective

24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,640
over the long term than an
approach focused on denial and

25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720
suffering.
The process should be

26
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,680
progressive, taking into account
the starting point of the

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,880
individual nature and working
towards whatever next step or

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,720
stage is possible.
Patience should be exercised to

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,760
allow for the time needed for
the vital to adapt and adjust.

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,160
Education should be focused on
adjusting the vital nature's

31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,160
aspirations and goals away from
its habitual mode of fulfilment

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,480
and satisfaction to a new,
higher, purer and more refined

33
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,160
intention in its expression.
The aim is to inspire the vital

34
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,400
nature.
Gratitude and goodwill should be

35
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,880
inculcated as part of a natural
relationship between the higher

36
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
elements of the being and the
vital nature.

37
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Mutual respect and support
should be the prevalent

38
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,080
relationship.
These principles form the basis

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,520
for a systematic, progressive,
and uplifting development of the

40
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,240
vital nature and underpin any of
the techniques that may be

41
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,480
utilized from time to time as
the seeker confronts another

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,120
element in the complexity of the
vital and its habitual ways of

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,880
responding to situations.
The result of gaining the

44
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,400
constant and powerful support of
the vital nature in the

45
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,280
transformation process is worth
the effort, The mother notes

46
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,000
quote.
Naturally, it is very difficult

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,600
to establish a constant contact
between the most external

48
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,280
physical consciousness and the
psychic consciousness.

49
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,880
And oh, the physical
consciousness has plenty of

50
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,640
goodwill.
It is very regular.

51
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,400
It tries a great deal, but it is
slow and heavy.

52
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360
It takes long.
It is difficult to move it.

53
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,480
It does not get tired, but it
makes no effort.

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,360
It goes its way quietly.
It can take centuries to put the

55
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,520
external consciousness in
contact with the psychic, but

56
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
for some reason or other the
vital takes a hand in it.

57
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,400
A passion seizes it.
It wants this contact for some

58
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,280
reason or other, which is not
always a spiritual reason, but

59
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,480
it wants this contact.
It wants it with all its energy,

60
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,399
all its strength, all its
passion, all its fervor.

61
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,200
In three months The thing is
done.

62
