Overcoming Hopelessness and Depression by Tuning the Consciousness Towards the Light

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,900
Many people including those who
are treading a spiritual path,

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,000
feel depressed and hopeless,
when they see all the

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,600
negativity, violence and
destruction taking place in the

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,900
world around us.
The mass media focuses on and

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:24,600
emphasizes all this negativity
with the saying, if it bleeds it

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,800
leads, they know they can
capture the attention of more

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,100
people for violent dramatic
events, then with positive and

8
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:37,200
harmonious issues.
It is no wonder that.

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,000
We tend to fix a tremendous
attention on this type of thing.

10
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,500
And consequently we feel like
there is no way out and we are

11
00:00:46,508 --> 00:00:53,000
heading to inevitable loss and
destruction their forces and

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,400
beings.
Who embody these forces in many

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,200
cases, which purposely work to
create hostility chaos and fear

14
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,900
who feed off of our negative
emotions and who will do

15
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:11,700
practically anything to be the
center of attention.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,300
They understand that we will
turn our Focus towards them and

17
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:23,700
thereby come suddenly or overtly
under their control they develop

18
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:29,000
what is called Charisma to
enchant and hypnotize us. even

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,900
to the most desperately negative
things, they may choose to say

20
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:37,800
or do these forces make us
accept and believe in their

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,700
drama and can lead us to
hopelessness and despair.

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,200
And yet, when we recognize the
way Consciousness actually works

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,900
and the way the universal
manifestation evolves, it

24
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:58,500
becomes clear as SRI, aurobindo
puts in savithri a legend and a

25
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:06,100
symbol I hope stolen that hardly
dared to be the beings and

26
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:09,500
forces that are working to move
the evolutionary progression

27
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,900
forward.
The forces of light and Harmony

28
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,000
the forces of compassion and
Goodwill, are generally quiet,

29
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:23,400
unassuming working without
Fanfare and avoiding the

30
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,800
Limelight.
But working nevertheless human

31
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000
consciousness acts in many ways
like a frequency tuning device.

32
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,200
We receive an act upon those
frequencies to which we tune

33
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,500
ourselves.
If we accept the input, that

34
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:44,300
comes from the mass media,
without understanding that, this

35
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,700
is a very narrow slice of the
frequency spectrum.

36
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:53,000
We become depressed by the
difficulty or even a parent

37
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,900
impossibility.
Progress, survival and positive

38
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,600
development.
If however, we recognize that we

39
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,900
can consciously turn our
attention to the powers, and

40
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,500
forces, and beings of light, and
good will call them into our

41
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,700
lives and except they're
supportive and bullying energy.

42
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,900
Then we find that on the
contrary real progress is being

43
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:26,600
made because of the lack of
fanfare, tuning to these

44
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,700
positive forces and beings may
happen through our A receptivity

45
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,700
and aspiration gaining a sudden
sense of conviction.

46
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,700
Or we experienced some
telepathic guidance, where we

47
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:44,400
interface with these beings in a
dream state, or we receive what

48
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,200
the Tibetan Buddhists call the
psychic gift waves that Inspire

49
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:55,400
guide and uplift our spirits,
There are other Realms in the

50
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,100
purely physical that interact
with an impact, our world and

51
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:04,900
its development, just as some of
the Hostile forces and beings

52
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,900
reside in the vital world and
influence us from there.

53
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:14,500
So also some of the uplifting
forces and beings reside in the

54
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:19,300
subtle, physical the vital or
other worlds of higher Energies,

55
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:23,100
SRI, aurobindo declares in
sabitri.

56
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Quote, when darkness deepened
strangling, the Earth's breast

57
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,300
and man's corporeal mind is the
only lamb as a thief in the

58
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:39,000
night shall be the covert.
Tread of one who steps unseen

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,400
into his house.
A voice ill heard shall speak to

60
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,300
solo Bay a power in two minds
inner chamber.

61
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,700
Steal a charm and sweetness
open.

62
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,000
Life's closed doors.
And Beauty conquer the resisting

63
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,400
world.
The truth light captured Nature

64
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,400
by surprise, a stealth of God
compelled the heart to Bliss and

65
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:11,200
earth, grow unexpectedly Divine
and quote, SRI aurobindo,

66
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200
observes quote.
If there are always forces

67
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,400
around us, which are concerned
to depress and discourage their

68
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,200
always forces above and around
us, which we can draw upon Into

69
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,900
ourselves to restore to fill up
again with strength and faith

70
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,800
and joy, and the power that
perseveres and conquers.

71
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:36,100
It is really a habit that one
has to get of opening to these

72
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:41,100
helpful forces and either
passively receiving them or

73
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:46,000
actively drawing upon them.
For one can do either, it is

74
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,100
easier.
If you have the conception of

75
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:51,800
them above and around you and
the faith and the will to

76
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,500
receive them.
For that brings the experience

77
00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:00,300
and concrete sense of them and
the capacity to receive at need,

78
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:05,400
or it will it is a question of
habituating, your Consciousness

79
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,800
to get into touch and keep in
touch with these helpful forces.

80
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:14,400
And for that, you must accustom
yourself to reject the

81
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,100
Impressions forced On You by the
others.

82
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,600
