00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,300
Nature takes a long time to
effectuate substantive
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,300
evolutionary progress in
manifesting higher, more complex
3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,000
and more powerful forms of
Consciousness.
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,700
The shift from the realm of
matter, took countless
5
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:21,300
Millennia.
The first appearance of life was
6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,700
simple.
And again, the time required was
7
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:28,900
far beyond what any human
individual can possibly conceive
8
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:33,200
in any realistic manner.
Along the way, there were
9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,200
countless forms that developed
embodying various powers of the
10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,300
Life Energy.
Just as before that various
11
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:45,300
forms of matter, evolve to
include metals and crystals that
12
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:49,300
have a higher responsiveness
than the initial forms of rock
13
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:54,600
that were expressed with the
Advent of Mind, a new form of
14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000
evolutionary development
manifested.
15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,000
And again, there were different
forms that To embody varying
16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,100
powers of mind.
Again, countless Millennia were
17
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:10,500
required to bring us to the
current status of the
18
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,100
manifestation of Mind in the
world as seen in our human
19
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:20,700
existence. in each case, the new
expression of Consciousness
20
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,800
built up and was based in the
existence of the prior
21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,000
expressions in our world, thus
life, evolved in and through
22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,100
matter and mind, evolved in and
through life, in a material
23
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:39,900
body, Well this progression may
not hold true in all possible
24
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,800
worlds.
Where universes, this is the
25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,900
evident progression in our world
as the next level of
26
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,000
Consciousness begins to emerge.
We met extrapolate from the
27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
manner in which the prior levels
of manifested, the new
28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,900
Consciousness would then be
expressed through mind and based
29
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,300
in life and matter.
Given the imbalances caused by
30
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,400
the Advent of life and mind into
the world of matter.
31
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:12,600
Pollution, climate change world
wars, nuclear and biological
32
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,600
weapons.
Waste and mismanagement of
33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,500
limited resources, etc, etc, etc
with no Solutions Insight from
34
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:25,700
even our, highest mental
capacities, we certainly cannot
35
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:30,300
wait for countless Millennia for
the next phase to develop and
36
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:35,100
provide new powers of To
rectify, these imbalances, and
37
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,600
provide a harmonious development
platform.
38
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:43,900
Thus the issue arises as to
whether anything has changed to
39
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,500
provide us to Hope or the
certainty of a faster and more
40
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,900
leveraged process.
SRI aurobindo has identified the
41
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,100
ability of the human being to
participate consciously, in the
42
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,800
evolution as a lever to speed up
this emergence.
43
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:08,700
SRI, aurobindo, observes quote.
It is fundamentally an evolution
44
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,600
of Consciousness that has been
taking place in nature and
45
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
quote.
Dr. De la Alex founds further
46
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:19,900
quote the inner growth of the
human being is simply a
47
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:24,400
continuation of the evolution of
Consciousness which has hitherto
48
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,200
resulted successively in the
emergence of life out of matter
49
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,100
and of mind out of life.
In other words, Consciousness
50
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:36,900
has developed ever higher forms
of its manifestation on Earth
51
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,600
from the mineral to the plant,
to the animal to man.
52
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,600
The mental being Called inner
growth in this book, refers to
53
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,500
the evolution of Consciousness,
Beyond mind.
54
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:55,000
Prior to the appearance of the
human or mental beam, Evolution
55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
has been a slow subconscious
process.
56
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:02,000
The emergence of Mind marks, the
beginning of a new process of
57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,800
evolution by which the human
being through a conscious will
58
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,900
and aspiration for inner growth
becomes a conscious participant
59
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:15,300
and collaborator in the
evolution of Consciousness.
60
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:20,100
Thus inner growth is a process
of conscious evolution.
61
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,300
Any system of proven methods for
achieving inner growth is yoga
62
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,800
for yoga is as noted by SRI,
aurobindo quote, a Methodist
63
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,300
effort towards self Perfection
by the expression of the
64
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:39,400
potentiality is latent in the
being in quote.
65
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:45,000
Regarding the two modes of
evolution subconscious Evolution
66
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,900
through the processes of Nature
and conscious evolution through
67
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:54,600
yoga, SRI aurobindo writes,
quote, all nature is an attempt
68
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,500
at a progressive, revelation of
the concealed truth.
69
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:03,100
But what nature aims at for the
mass in a slow Evolution yoga
70
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:07,800
effects for the individual by a
rapid Revolution, their aim is
71
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,800
one in the end.
The generalization of yoga in
72
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,000
humanity must be the last
victory of nature over her own
73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,400
delays and concealments.
Even as now by the progressive
74
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,700
mind of science, she seeks to
make all mankind fit for the
75
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,900
full development of the mental
life.
76
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:32,200
So by yoga mushy, inevitably
seek to make all mankind fit for
77
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,100
the higher Evolution.
The second birth.
