Self-Identification with Others — Loosening the Bonds of the Ego-Consciousness

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,500
With Focus over time and with
dedicated effort the power of

2
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:13,000
concentrated attention some Jama
eventually bears fruit and one

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,700
can escape the boundaries of the
ego Consciousness and enter into

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:23,400
an identification with others.
As this occurs, we understand

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,700
their motivations and the
direction of their thoughts and

6
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:30,000
actions.
The mother points out that this

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200
can even occur while reading a
book as the concentration

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,600
deepens.
It is possible to enter into the

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,200
mind of the author.
This is not an intellectual

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,300
exercise based in the mind and
some kind of process of logic or

11
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:50,100
memory.
But rather comes about when when

12
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:54,900
read With the quiet or silent
mind, and allows the force of

13
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,700
the writing to enter and
transform the view.

14
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,100
The mother has described
elsewhere how she recommends,

15
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:07,000
the writings of Sri aurobindo,
be read and her description

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
mirrors.
The process of allowing the

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Consciousness to shift away from
The Logical intellect and the

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,100
hold of the ego Consciousness to
one in which the force and

19
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,900
standpoint of Sri.
Aurobindo is writing, is Simply

20
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:24,700
absorbed and begins to transform
the awareness.

21
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,500
Many have reported an experience
breakthrough of the

22
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:32,400
Consciousness outside the bounds
of the ego, while reading

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,000
various books of free aurobindo
with sabitri, a legend and a

24
00:01:37,008 --> 00:01:39,900
symbol being the predominant
vehicle.

25
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,500
The mother notes quote, at
first, you won't succeed very

26
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,500
well.
But if you persist, you will end

27
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:52,800
up by succeeding admirably.
This adds a lot of interest to

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,900
life and besides it is a work
which really makes you progress

29
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,500
for it, makes you come out of
that little armor of yours in

30
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:05,400
which you are nicely, shut up,
in which you knock against

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,500
everything, you have seen moths
knocking against the light,

32
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,800
haven't you?
Everyone's Consciousness is like

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,100
that.
It goes along knocking here,

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,100
knocking there for these are
things for into it, but instead

35
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,100
of knocking about on enters
within then, it begins to become

36
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,900
a part of oneself.
When widens oneself, breathe

37
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:35,100
freely, has enough space to move
in one doesn't knock against

38
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:40,300
anything one.
Enters penetrates understands

39
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:44,800
And one lives in many places at
the same time, it is very

40
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,500
interesting.
One, does it automatically?

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200
For instance, when you are
reading a book that interests

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,600
you very much a wonderful novel,
full of exciting Adventures,

43
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,000
when you are completely absorbed
in the story at times, you

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
forget your class hour or even
dinner time or your bedtime.

45
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,300
You are completely absorbed in
what you are reading.

46
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,900
Well, this is a phenomenon of
self-identification.

47
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,700
And if you do it with a certain
Perfection, you succeed in

48
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:18,400
understanding ahead, what is
going to happen.

49
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:23,500
There is a moment when being
fully absorbed in the story, you

50
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,800
come to know without trying to
look for it towards.

51
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,500
What end?
The author is leading you, how

52
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:34,100
is going to unfold historian?
Come to his conclusion for you

53
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,600
of identified yourself with the
creative thought of the author.

54
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,300
You do it more or less perfectly
without knowing that you are

55
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,000
doing it.
But these are phenomena of

56
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000
self-identification in quote,
