The Action of the Higher Planes Is Needed to Bring Forth the Manifestation of Life, Mind and Spirit in the Material World

1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,680
Matter prepared and encoded with
the data set required to bring

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,560
forth life does not
spontaneously on its own express

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,000
the life form for which it is
encoded.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,360
The seed or the egg remains
potential latent until it is

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,000
acted upon by a force external
to it.

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,960
In the case of the seed of a
plant, the sun's force combined

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
with the action of moisture
leads to the sprouting of the

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,760
seed.
In the case of an animal's egg,

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,760
we find that a heat source is
needed to warm the egg until it

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,280
is ready to hatch.
For mammals, a complex mixture

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,400
of warmth and nourishment is
provided to the embryo as it

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,360
grows within the mother's womb.
The external force that is

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
required to bring about the
manifestation of the life energy

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,920
in a material form provides us a
clear sign of the interaction

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,160
that takes place to lead to the
manifestation of life and mind

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,040
and eventually further aspects
of consciousness involved in

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,240
matter.
Through the pressure and occult

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:21,120
action of these higher planes on
the material plane, Shriorobindo

19
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,000
notes quote, our development
takes place very largely by

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,320
their higher planes superior but
hidden action upon the earth

21
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,040
plane.
All is contained in the

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,080
inconscient or the subconscient,
but in potentiality it is the

23
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,640
action from above that helps to
compel an emergence.

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,520
A continuance of that action is
necessary to shape and determine

25
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,080
the progression of the mental
and vital forms which our

26
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,440
evolution takes in material
nature.

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,880
For these progressive movements
cannot find their full momentum,

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,400
or sufficiently develop their
implications against the

29
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,840
resistance of an inconscient or
inert and ignorant material

30
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,320
nature, except by a constant,
though occult, resort to higher

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,880
supra physical forces of their
own character.

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,560
This resort, the action of this
veiled alliance, takes place

33
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,280
principally in our subliminal
being and not on the surface.

34
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,640
It is from there that the active
power of our consciousness

35
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,760
emerges, and all that it
realizes it sends back

36
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,440
constantly into the subliminal
being to be stored up, developed

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
and re emerge in stronger forms
hereafter.

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,640
This interaction of our larger
hidden being and our surface

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:49,240
personality is the main secret
of the rapid development that

40
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,640
operates in man once he has
passed beyond the lower stages

41
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,240
of mind immersed in matter.
