Progressively Becoming Conscious

1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:06,400
Everyone believes they are
conscious spiritual Seekers

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,000
especially having awakened from
the purely mechanical habitual

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,300
processes of the external life.
Certainly believe they are

4
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,500
conscious.
Those who believe in various

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:23,400
religious Traditions by virtue
of that belief, except that they

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,000
are conscious this belief.
However does not change the

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,200
facts of their lives or the
numerous areas where their lives

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,900
are purely based inhabit and a
form of dull sleepwalking.

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,100
Sometimes an individual has an
experience that shocks him out

10
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:49,200
of the comfort zone of his daily
beliefs acts and perceptions and

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,600
intense spiritual experience,
can do that based on this

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,000
experience, the secret.
Now, believes that he is

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,800
conscious in some religious
Traditions, he will understand

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,900
that he has been born again into
the spirit.

15
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:08,700
However, the experience is a
momentary phenomena.

16
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:13,800
Generally the secret quickly
revert to established patterns

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,100
habits and ways of seeing
thinking acting and interacting

18
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,200
it is possible also to be
relatively conscious in one

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,600
aspect or part of the being
while remaining unconscious in

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,400
other parts of the being, the
human being is a complex amalgam

21
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,300
of physical, vital, mental and
psycho-spiritual.

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,400
Ants and they do not all
progress in the same way or at

23
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400
the same time, we're at the same
speed.

24
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,700
The mother was asked the
question.

25
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:54,900
When can that one say, one is
conscious.

26
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:01,100
The mother responds that is
always a relative question.

27
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:06,400
One is never all together,
unconscious and one is never

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,300
completely conscious.
It is a progressive state but a

29
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:15,300
time comes when instead of doing
things automatically impelled by

30
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,800
a Consciousness and force of
which one is quite unaware.

31
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,500
The time comes when one can
observe.

32
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:26,200
What goes on in one self-study
one's movements.

33
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,300
Find their causes.
And at the same time, begin to

34
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:34,000
exercise.
A control first over, what goes

35
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,400
on within us.
Then on the influence cast on us

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,700
from outside, which makes us act
in the beginning, altogether,

37
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:48,000
unconsciously, and almost
involuntarily but gradually more

38
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
and more consciously and then
we'll can wake up and react.

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Then at that moment, the moment
there is a conscious will

40
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,200
capable of reacting.
When may say, I have become

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,700
conscious, this does not mean
that it is a total imperfect

42
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:11,000
Consciousness.
It means that it is a beginning.

43
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,600
For example, when one is able to
observe all the reactions in

44
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,500
ones being and to have a certain
control over them.

45
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:29,200
To let those one approves of
have play and to control, stop

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,600
annul.
Those one doesn't approve of

47
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:38,300
besides, you must become aware
within of something, like a goal

48
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:42,600
or a purpose or an ideal.
You want to realize something

49
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,000
other than the mere instinct,
which impels you to live without

50
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,700
your knowing, why, or how, At
that time, you may say you are

51
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:57,600
conscious but it doesn't mean
you are perfectly conscious and

52
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,700
moreover, this Perfection is so
Progressive that I believe

53
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,500
nobody can say.
He is perfectly conscious.

54
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:09,000
He is on the way to becoming
perfectly conscious, but he

55
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,000
isn't yet and quote reference

inner development.
