The Connection to the Psychic Being Minimizes the Dangers of the Intermediate Zone

1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,700
The process of the yogic side.
Now begins to shift the

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:11,500
Consciousness, Inward and upward
and exposes the secret powers

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,800
forces and energies that are not
easily seen or understood from

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,200
the standpoint of the external
mind and life, thus there is

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,600
what we may call a natural
opening to the mental, vital and

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,900
subtle physical planes that
surround and press upon the The

7
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,400
external manifestation of the
universe.

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,600
An individual may choose to
adopt a discipline such as the

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,900
process of samyama as outlined
in patanjali's yoga.

10
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:49,900
Sutras to focus and concentrate
on a particular aspect and

11
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:52,600
thereby gain true knowledge and
connection to it.

12
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:57,300
Patanjali rightfully notes, the
need for preliminary

13
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:04,200
purification to avoid being
overcome distracted or mislead

14
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:10,000
by the powers that arise.
SRI aurobindo provides another

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,700
Viewpoint that relies on the
shift of standpoint to the soul,

16
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:17,700
and it's aspiration.
As the way to avoid the dangers

17
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:22,500
of opening to powers and forces
that are not easily understood

18
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:27,600
or withstood by the Seeker.
The psychic being has a natural

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,100
and automatic ability to
distinguish truth from

20
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,900
falsehood.
If it is allowed to take the

21
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:39,000
primary lead and guide the
Seeker, the ancient tale of the

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,300
Swan, being able to separate the
milk from the water, is a

23
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:47,300
parable of the Soul, being able
to identify the essential truth

24
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,700
from everything else.
SRI, aurobindo, observes quote,

25
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,000
it the breaking of the veil
comes of itself with the

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,900
pressure of the sadhna, it can
also be brought about by

27
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,500
specific concentration and
effort.

28
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:09,400
It is certainly better if the
psychic is conscious and active.

29
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,200
Before there is the removing of
the veil or screen between the

30
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,300
individual and the universal
Consciousness, which comes when

31
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,300
the inner being is brought
forward in all its wideness for

32
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,000
them.
There is much less danger of the

33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
difficulties of what I have
called the intermediate Zone and
