Occult Forces Surround Us and Can Act Upon Us

1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,720
The human range of perception is
bounded on both sides and thus

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,800
forces that are active in ranges
above or below our own field of

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,720
perceptions are able to act
without our ability to directly

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,640
know what they are doing or
interact with them consciously.

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,360
To the extent that they wield
influence on our lives, it is

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,640
something that takes place for
us basically unconsciously.

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,600
Additionally, there are forces
that act on the various planes,

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,000
which encompass ranges outside
our ability to perceive and

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,440
ranges within our frame, but
which are obstructed to us

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,840
because of the wall of
protection that the physical

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,680
body and the vital energy field
or aura provide for us.

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,320
These forces thus do not act
with their full power and result

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,280
in the material world to the
extent that their vibrational

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,000
impact is partially blocked or
watered down by the gross

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,640
physical sheath.
Some of the forces at work in

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640
these other planes or realms are
what we would consider to be

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,840
Maleficent to us, hostile or at
least contrary to what we see as

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,680
our own interests and needs,
while others may be beneficent

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,280
and help us grow and thrive and
potentially provide some level

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,360
of protection from those that
are inimical to us.

21
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,720
Some of the forces, particularly
vital forces, feed on vital and

22
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,040
emotional energy that we throw
off, So their interest lies in

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,360
provoking us to anger, rage,
lust, passionate outbursts, et

24
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,160
cetera, in order to harvest the
energy we expend.

25
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Sri Aurobindo describes the
action of these forces in

26
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Savitri.
The following passages take up a

27
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,280
description of some of them
which are more forcefully

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,440
opposed to us, and which need to
be understood and fended off if

29
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,919
we are to remain unharmed.
On the inner path of Yogic

30
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,680
development, Sri Aurobindo
writes in Savitri A Legend and a

31
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Symbol.
Book 6 Canto 2 Quote There is no

32
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,560
visible foe, but the unseen is
round U.S. forces intangible,

33
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040
besiege touches from alien
realms.

34
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Thoughts, not our own, overtake
us and compel the erring heart.

35
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,760
Our lives are caught in an
ambiguous web.

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,320
End, Quote, and quote.
A grisly company of maladies

37
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,000
come licensed lodgers into man's
bodily house, purveyors of

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,760
death, and torturers of life in
the malignant hollows of the

39
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,920
world, in its subconscient
cavern passages.

40
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Ambushed they lie, waiting their
hour to leap, surrounding with

41
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,760
danger the siege city of life
admitted into the citadel of

42
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,560
man's days.
They mine, his forces and maim

43
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,080
were suddenly kill.
