The Direct Use of the Mind as a Sixth Sense

1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,040
We are trained to believe that
the mind relies entirely on the

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,840
five senses of perception and
the five senses of action in

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,160
order to receive data or
undertake action.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,200
If the mind is cut off from the
senses, we believe that it is

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,800
powerless and unable to either
sense, communicate, or act.

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Spiritual science indicates that
the mind has a power of its own

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,480
that is independent of these
senses.

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Modern Western science is now
validating this understanding

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,200
through a unique series of
experiments and advances in

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,720
understanding the operations of
the mind.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,480
We are all familiar with the
image of the great theoretical

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,920
physicist Stephen Hawking.
He was stricken with the

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,840
degenerative disease which left
him unable to operate his body,

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,720
including the power of speech.
He was able, however, to develop

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840
a method to generate speech
through the power of the mind to

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,120
generate internal vibratory
patterns which an external

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,840
device was able to translate
into speech.

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,000
The mind was capable of
generating these bioelectrical

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,040
impulses which carried the
content of the thought in such a

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,440
way that a computer aided device
could convert it into speech

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,840
patterns.
His experience is not unique.

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Researchers have been reported
to be testing the implant of an

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,560
interface called a biocortical
motor implant between the brain

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280
and the computer of people who
have lost the use of speech by

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,120
reading the signals the brain
generates and translating this

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,920
into computer generated speech.
Other people are able to operate

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,200
a computer through the power of
the concentration of the mind,

28
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,960
with the signal enhanced by
various listening devices that

29
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,960
have been developed.
Similarly, devices have been

30
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,960
developed to capture the brain's
signals to operate prosthetic

31
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,639
limbs.
What all of these things have in

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,200
common is that they directly tap
into the brain's signals and tie

33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,920
them into external devices that
at least partially replace the

34
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,240
use of the normal biological
senses that carry out actions

35
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,000
such as movement or speech.
They prove that the brain is not

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,080
absolutely dependent on the
senses.

37
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,600
There is also extensive research
into telepathy, the ability of

38
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,280
the mind to directly communicate
with another mind, either to

39
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,280
pick up the thoughts of another
person or to communicate

40
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,440
thoughts to another person.
A young student did an

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
experiment in telepathy and
found that certain pairs of

42
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,240
individuals were able to
identify colours or numbers or

43
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,200
shapes being focused on by the
other party, far in excess of

44
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,800
random chance.
Similar experiments have been

45
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,960
designed and carried out by
researchers in Mind Science

46
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,400
under rigorous conditions.
While such results remain rare,

47
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,560
they nevertheless do occur and
tend to support the idea that

48
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,720
just as a computer device can
pick up and enhance the

49
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,480
transmission of brain signals,
so certain individuals are

50
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,080
capable of internally enhancing
these signals, while others may

51
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,000
be receptive and capable of
capturing and translating such

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680
signals.
Making the incidence of

53
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,280
telepathic communication
something in our hidden

54
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,320
capabilities and potentially a
power that will manifest more

55
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,400
widely as we explore inner space
more systematically in the

56
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040
future.
There is no doubt that certain

57
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080
individuals who live together
are able to sink their thought

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,000
process to such a degree that
they know what the other person

59
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,880
is thinking.
And in many cases they are able

60
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,600
to supply words or finish
sentences for one another, or

61
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,720
just express something that the
other person acknowledges they

62
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,519
were just thinking about,
without a specific external

63
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,640
context to justify the
synchronistic thought arising.

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,800
TR de Chardin described a mental
atmosphere that surrounds us,

65
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,320
similar to the atmosphere of air
or the ionosphere around the

66
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,720
planet.
Thoughts generated create waves

67
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,240
which go out into this mental
atmosphere, which he called a

68
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,160
neurosphere, and are there to be
picked up, received, and

69
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,640
potentially acted upon by others
who happened to capture these

70
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,200
waves.
This may also explain how

71
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,760
certain ideas or inventions
arise in different parts of the

72
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,520
world at the same time without
direct communication between the

73
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,560
thinkers or inventors.
Another pointer in the direction

74
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,440
that the mind has its own power
of thought creation and

75
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,840
reception, independent of any
reliance on the senses.

76
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,200
Many people have had the
experience of entering an

77
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,320
atmosphere that was filled with
mental concentration and being

78
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,160
impacted by that atmosphere.
Entering a library where people

79
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,480
are engaged in serious study has
a strong impact on the mind of

80
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,320
the individual and helps to tune
1's mind to the mental

81
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,360
wavelengths.
Similarly, when an individual

82
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,120
gives a lecture on a subject
requiring intense concentration,

83
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,480
1 can palpably experience the
atmosphere of concentration.

84
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Silent chanting of a mantra can
have an extraordinary impact on

85
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,600
an environment, as reported by
people who happen to enter that

86
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,200
location, indicating that the
mind was able to generate a

87
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,200
field externally without the use
of speech.

88
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,840
Many people have commented on
the ability of certain

89
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:10,000
practitioners of yoga to create
a field of peace and

90
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,960
concentrated awareness around
them, another sign that the mind

91
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,280
can have palpable effects in the
outer world without use of the

92
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,160
physical senses to create that
effect.

93
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,200
It appears that the mind's
ability to generate bioelectric

94
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,080
signals can be enhanced, and it
appears that the mind's ability

95
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,800
to receive and interpret such
signals can be enhanced.

96
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,440
When the two coincide,
communication can take place

97
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,280
without speech.
A future development thus can be

98
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:47,840
seen as a consequence of the
further evolution of

99
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,760
consciousness, Srioro Bindo
writes.

100
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Quote.
The awakening of the psychical

101
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,280
consciousness liberates in us
the direct use of the mind as a

102
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:03,040
sixth sense, and this power may
be made constant and normal.

103
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,040
The physical consciousness can
only communicate with the minds

104
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,960
of others or know the happenings
of the world around us through

105
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,720
external means and signs and
indications.

106
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
And it has beyond this limited
action, only a vague and

107
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,200
haphazard use of the minds, more
direct capacities, a poor range

108
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,400
of occasional presentiments,
intuitions and messages.

109
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Our minds are indeed constantly
acting and acted upon by the

110
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,000
minds of others through hidden
currents of which we are not

111
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,240
aware, but we have no knowledge
or control of these agencies.

112
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,160
The psychical consciousness, as
it develops, makes us aware of

113
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,000
the great mass of thoughts,
feelings, suggestions, wills,

114
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,400
impacts, influences of all kinds
that we are receiving from

115
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,280
others or sending to others, or
imbibing from and throwing into

116
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,800
the general mind atmosphere
around us.

117
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,160
As it evolves in power,
precision, and clearness, we are

118
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,760
able to trace these to their
source or feel immediately their

119
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,880
origin and transit to us, and
direct, consciously and with an

120
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,720
intelligent will, our own
messages.

121
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,960
It becomes possible to be aware,
more or less accurately and

122
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,960
discerningly, of the activities
of minds, whether near to us

123
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,760
physically or at a distance, to
understand, feel, or identify

124
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,559
ourselves with their
temperament, character,

125
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:44,200
thoughts, feelings, reactions,
whether by a psychic sense or by

126
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,600
a direct mental perception, or
by a very sensible and often

127
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,640
intensely concrete reception of
them into our mind or on its

128
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,000
recording surface.
At the same time, we can

129
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,040
consciously make at least the
inner selves, and if they are

130
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,600
sufficiently sensitive, the
surface minds of others, aware

131
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,280
of our own inner mental or
psychic self, and plastic to its

132
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,480
thoughts, suggestions,
influences, or even cast it or

133
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,800
its active image in influence
into their subjective, even into

134
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,320
their vital and physical being,
to work there as a helping or

135
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,440
molding or dominating power and
presence.
