00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:05,100
Most people identify closely
with their active external
2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,400
personality and as a result,
they consider that to be the
3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,700
extent of their existence.
They live on the surface
4
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:18,900
interact with others Family,
Friends, acquaintances,
5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Associates, and other members of
society and respond to the outer
6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,300
environment, the weather, the
economic, and political
7
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,700
conditions, Etc.
This constitutes the framework
8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,500
of their lives.
Some individuals.
9
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,900
However, particularly as they
begin to have experiences that
10
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,300
show them, that there is another
aspect and significance to their
11
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:48,300
lives, find that they can
observe this outer life and
12
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,900
participate in it yet, feel
themselves separate and apart
13
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:58,100
from that existence, they begin
to experience an inner life.
14
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,300
As these individuals explore the
experiences thoughts, emotions
15
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:08,700
and feelings that are associated
with this separation, they begin
16
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:12,800
to recognize that the Apparently
superficial goals objectives.
17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:19,100
And purposes of the external
life are insufficient to explain
18
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,800
either the existence of the
universal manifestation or
19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,600
indeed their own lives.
In many cases, they have
20
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,800
intimations of a long
developmental process and
21
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:39,200
evolution of Consciousness in
which they have participated in
22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200
some cases.
They have intimations of past
23
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,400
lives and experiences that fall
outside the framework of the
24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,200
external life they lead. if
pursued further the individual

00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,400
either comes in contact with the
psychic being the sole, which is
26
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,500
a part from the Mind life body
that he occupies in this
27
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:06,100
lifetime, or he finds himself
achieving a new standpoint of a
28
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:12,100
witness of the nature, free
independent and able to observe
29
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:17,700
and eventually direct the outer

inner physical Consciousness,
constituting another or inner

self.
This inner self once a week
35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,900
opens in its turn to our true.
Real Eternal self, it opens
36
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,700

It opens above to the self or
Spirit, which is unborn.
