Habits, Human Life and Achieving Individuality … and Beyond

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,500
That's the secret begins to
examine his life.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,400
He quickly finds that virtually
all his thoughts, emotions,

3
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:14,000
feelings and actions are based
on habitual patterns.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,400
Either ingrained in the human
encoding as a species or develop

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,500
through socialization in a
society or civilization through

6
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:29,100
family influence, peer
influence, educational influence

7
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,900
or Through interaction through
communication and media,

8
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:38,100
including advertising internet,
and the subtle expectation of

9
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:43,300
things built into each Society,
very rarely can the secret

10
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,300
identify anything that does not
have as an underlying basis.

11
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:52,800
One of these habitual factors we
are thus, for the most part,

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,400
very much similar to one another
and the field of psychology

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,400
recognizes this by identifying
Sighing, what is normal in the

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,600
society and graphing responses
to various tests or

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,200
circumstances using bell-shaped
curve modeling Etc?

16
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,900
Rare exceptions may be due to
specific individual

17
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:20,300
circumstances, physical
limitations, or developed

18
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:25,400
capacities or may represent a
true and unique individuality

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,300
that has developed.
Well, we pride ourselves on our

20
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:33,300
individuality, when we look
deeply at these habitual

21
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:39,600
processes, the differences are
mostly superficial true

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,400
individuality arises when an
individual is able to go beyond

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,700
the habits that are either
encoded or trained nature and

24
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:52,500
nurture to create a truly unique
responsiveness to the world.

25
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,000
And its environment forces,
pressures and activities.

26
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:02,400
Such a uniqueness occurs when
the soul, the psychic being

27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600
actually comes forward
addresses.

28
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,699
The unique challenges and
opportunities for the souls

29
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:13,700
growth based on its past
experience and needs in the

30
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:18,500
current lifetime true and
devout, individuality is as SRI

31
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:22,100
aurobindo sews and adventure of
consciousness.

32
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:28,200
The mother observes quote, one
lives by a kind of habit, which

33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,500
is barely half conscious one
lives does not even objectify.

34
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:37,600
What one does, why one does it?
How one does it?

35
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,600
When does it by habit?
All those were born in a certain

36
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,100
environment a certain country
automatically take the habits of

37
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,800
that environment.
Not only material habits, but

38
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,600
habits of thought, Feeling and
habits of acting they do it

39
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,700
without watching themselves,
doing it quite naturally.

40
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,800
And if someone points this out
to them, they are astonished.

41
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:09,400
As a matter of fact, one has to
habit of sleeping speaking,

42
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,600
eating moving, and one does all
this as something quite natural

43
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800
without wondering.
Why, or how, and many other

44
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,300
things all the time, when does
things automatically by force of

45
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,200
habit?
It when does not watch oneself.

46
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,600
And so when when lives in a
particular society, when

47
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,500
automatically does what is
normally done in that society

48
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:39,500
and if somebody begins to watch
himself acting watch himself

49
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,300
feeling and thinking he looks
like a kind of phenomenal

50
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,400
monster compared with the
environment.

51
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,800
He lives in there for
individuality is not at all.

52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000
The rule it is an exception.
And if you do not have that sort

53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,800
of bag a particular form, which
is your outer body and your

54
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,000
appearance, you could hardly be
distinguished from one another.

55
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:10,600
Individuality is a conquest and
as SRI aurobindo says here, this

56
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,400
first Conquest is only a first
stage in once you have realized

57
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,500
within you, something like a
personal independent and

58
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:23,200
conscious being, then what you
have to do is to break the Come

59
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,300
and go farther or example, if
you want to progress mentally,

60
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,600
you must break all your mental
forms.

61
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,200
All your mental constructions,
to be able to make new ones.

62
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:40,800
So, to begin with a tremendous
labor is required to

63
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,500
individualize oneself and
afterwards.

64
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,700
One must demolish all that has
been done in order to progress.

65
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,400
In quote, reference SRI
aurobindo and the mother growing

66
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
within the psychology of inner
development.
