0:02 Humanity is facing an existential crisis. Scientists report the changes brought about by human civilization, have created the conditions that are causing what is now being called the sixth planetary, die-off of species, the land Water, and Air are all being polluted. Toxic chemicals are poisoning. The planet climate change is wreaking havoc with the entire planetary environment. The ocean is seeing its food chain. Decimated, the central species, required for food, production such as honey, bees are dying off in record numbers, threatening the world's food supply.
0:47 And the issues continue to compound with no end in sight, the problems we see are based on the application of the Mind in an attempt to satisfy the desire, soul of the vital ego. Mental Solutions tend to be linear Limited in scope and generally failed to take into account the complexity interactions of a complete organic system such as the interdependent relationship of all beings in existence. The result is the kind of imbalance that is driving this crisis to the potential for enormous Devastation of the planet and Humanity. When we seek for a solution to this crisis, we find that as long as we remain locked into the mines framework and method of reaching its conclusions, there seems to be no solution some factor or factors simply Elm the best plans and given the nature of the Mind disputes arise between those who want to approach the situation in one way. And those who see a different line of development. We eventually reach a state of gridlock where nothing can be done.
2:10 While the pressures continue to mount, we are then forced under this intense pressure to find a way to adapt or die. In such a circumstance. What is the nature of adaptation? SRI aurobindo is response? Is that the entire development of life on Earth shows the theme of an evolution of Interesting. This man is not this final stage of that Evolution but what he calls the transitional being Nature's process is to set forth some kind of intense pressure such as an evolutionary crisis to create the intensity required for the manifestation of the next term of consciousness.
2:58 This process is what we are experiencing today. The next term of Consciousness is what SRI aurobindo calls the super mental Consciousness to signify that it is a Power Of Consciousness that exceeds the mental Level under the intensity of the pressure individuals are moved to shift their focus toward the conscious development and active participation in the Canary process SRI aurobindo indicates that man, the mental being has the capacity to consciously. Take part in and thereby dramatically speed up the long slow, and arduous developmental process of nature.
3:48 SRI aurobindo in the mother as Pathfinders were able to determine how a shift from the ordinary human mentality under the control of the external ego personality and driven. By the Divine desire soul of the vital nature to a spiritual consciousness could take place This involved a process of growth where by the individual gains contact with the psychic being the sole and shifts the direction of his life. Toward the contact with and development, of a constant relation of the individual soul, with the Divine reality, which is the actual driver of the universal manifestation.
4:35 The being must first be prepared and the instruments developed the aspiration for the change awakened and cherished. And then the being begins to turn its attention to the Fulfillment of the spiritual Quest. This inner process is what growing within the psychology of inner development has systematically developed an outlined.
