The Growth and Evolution of the Soul

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,300
most people are not directly
aware of their soul, although it

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,200
is frequently talked about There
seems to be much confusion.

3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,800
Western scientists have tried to
determine the existence of the

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Soul.
Like they would measure

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,100
particular chemical elements
within the body.

6
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:24,500
They weigh the body immediately
before.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,100
And then immediately, after the
time of death and try to

8
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:32,100
determine if there is any
difference in weight.

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,000
This approach assumes that the
soul has weight and mass that

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,100
would be measurable by our
external measuring capabilities.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,400
It does not recognize the subtle
unseen powers of existence

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
unless they can be validated
through some external technique.

13
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:59,700
The same approach can be applied
and is proven when one tries to

14
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:03,600
measure the existence of the
Mind, No weight difference

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,700
before and after death or the
existence of the heart of

16
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,900
emotion.
The action of the emotions, the

17
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:15,100
action of the Mind are subtle
actions.

18
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:17,800
That use the physical
instruments to receive an

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,600
Express, various energetic,
vibrational States, but do not

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,500
add to the weight that we carry
around as a physical organ or

21
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,400
form.
Similarly we cannot see

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:38,500
electricity or gravity or other
cosmological forces yet we can

23
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:44,000
experience their effects.
Einstein famously developed a

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,200
formula to convert energy and
matter into one another which

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,600
indicated that mass could become
pure energy moving at the speed

26
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,500
of light without Mouse.
One could extrapolate that there

27
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,500
are states were a measuring tool
subtle enough and sensitive

28
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,900
enough.
Could actually weigh the

29
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:10,500
energetic packets and who knows?
Maybe someday they will succeed

30
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,000
in measuring the weight of the
soul, for whatever?

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,700
That will be worth.
As the spiritual growth takes

32
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,000
place.
The individual becomes acutely,

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,300
aware of both the existence of
and the action of the soul.

34
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:30,700
In The evolutionary development,
including the transition from

35
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:36,000
birth to death and rebirth, that
marks, the souls developmental

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,500
Journey Through Time, SRI
aurobindo writes quote.

37
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,300
It is necessary to understand.
Clearly, the difference between

38
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:53,100
the evolving Soul, psychic being
and the pure Optimum cell for a

39
00:02:53,108 --> 00:02:57,700
spirit.
The pure self is unborn does not

40
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:02,300
pass through death or birth is
independent of birth or body or

41
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,200
mind, or life, or this
manifested nature.

42
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,900
It is not bound by these things,
not limited not effective even

43
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:14,900
though it assumes and supports
them.

44
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,200
The sole on the contrary is
something that comes down into

45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,000
birth and passes through death.
Although it does not itself die

46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,300
for it is Immortal from one
state to another from the Earth

47
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:33,200
plane to other planes and back
again to the Earth existence.

48
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,800
It goes on with this
progression, from life to life,

49
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,400
through an evolution, which
leads it up to the human State

50
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,700
and evolve through it all.
A being of itself which we call

51
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:53,200
the psychic being that supports
the evolution and develops a

52
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,500
physical vital, a mental human
consciousness, as its

53
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:05,100
instruments of World experience.
And of a disguised imperfect,

54
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:10,300
but growing self-expression.
All this, it does from behind a

55
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,100
veil showing something of its
Divine self.

56
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,300
Only insofar as the imperfection
of the instrumental, being will

57
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,700
allow it.
But a time comes, when it is

58
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:27,400
able to prepare to come out from
behind the veil, to take command

59
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
and turn all the instrumental
nature towards a Divine

60
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,700
fulfillment.
This is the beginning of the

61
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,100
true spiritual life.
The soul is able now to make

62
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,700
itself ready for a higher
evolution of manifested

63
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,400
Consciousness than the mental
human.

64
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:50,600
It can pass from the mental to
the spiritual and through

65
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,000
degrees of the spiritual to the
Supra mental state.

66
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Till then there is no reason why
it should cease from birth.

67
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,200
It cannot in fact, do so if
having reached the spiritual

68
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,900
state it Wills to pass out of
the terrestrial manifestation,

69
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:14,600
it may indeed do so but there is
also possible a higher

70
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,300
manifestation in the knowledge
and not in the ignorance.
