The Mechanism of Action Of the Subconscient in Relation to the External Being

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,320
When we respond to a situation,
either at the physical level,

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:11,200
the vital level or the mental
level, we open a pathway for

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,800
that vibration to impact us in
some way.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,800
And having once been accepted
for admittance, it creates A

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,360
propensity for us to admit it
the next time it comes our way.

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,480
In this way, a habit of response
is built up.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,080
This idea is validated by
scientists who track neural

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,440
pathways and who indicate that a
repeated experience builds up

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,000
grooves in the pathways of the
brain, which allow impulses to

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,680
traverse them more quickly and
easily.

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,520
That is why with repeated
experience, we respond more

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,480
quickly than if we have
something new to deal with.

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,920
We use this mechanism to
advantage when we are doing any

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680
kind of training of the mind,
the vital force or the body.

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,640
But it works also in a negative
direction when we find that we

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,760
have an habitual response to a
particular form of bodily

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,560
vibration in the form of an
illness or allergy, or an

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,320
automatic reaction of anger.
When certain specific types of

19
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:23,440
circumstances arise or we have a
mental response that is limited

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,760
and potentially
counterproductive when a

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,080
specific idea is put forth.
All of these reactions or

22
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,520
habitual responses occur due to
a mechanism that stores,

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,240
experiences, memories, reactions
in the very cells of the body,

24
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,000
and they lie there, inert and
latent, until a triggering

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,080
opportunity arises.
Yogic science calls these

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,400
suppressed impressions seeds,
and they just need a fertile

27
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,800
circumstance to sprout up.
It is our normal habit to

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,200
suppress reactions with our
conscious mental will or vital

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,400
force, rather than to actually
take steps to work through the

30
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,680
issues and then eliminate them.
Thus, we tend to have a large

31
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,400
store room filled with
suppressed ideas, feelings,

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,640
emotions, perceptions, and
reactions that in many cases

33
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:25,200
represent traumas that we re
enact from time to time.

34
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,720
To fully eliminate such
suppressed responses, we not

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,480
only have to be able to work
them out and eliminate them, but

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,960
we need to close off the pathway
that was receptive to them,

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,120
either by refocusing that
location or by blocking it off.

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,400
The vibration from the wider
environment still has its own

39
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,720
habit that indicates a specific
location or individual is

40
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,720
receptive and will continue to
try to enter there until such

41
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,400
time as it gets the firm message
of non interest and thus moves

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560
on from the individual's
environment.

43
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Because of the number of steps
involved and the role of the

44
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200
environmental consciousness in
addition to the action of the

45
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,120
subconscient, this can be a long
and tedious process.

46
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Because these things tend to
remain dormant until a

47
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,560
triggering opportunity arises.
We may believe that we have

48
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,360
conquered a particular response
and be surprised when it

49
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,720
suddenly springs up again,
possibly years later.

50
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,960
There are stories of religious
or spiritual aspirants who spend

51
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640
years in a monastery or
cloister, or meditating in a

52
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,440
cave, or living an ascetic life
in the desert, who find out when

53
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,360
they wind up interacting in a
social setting, The things they

54
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,240
thought were long gone actually
manifest with a force that they

55
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,400
had not expected, the mother
observes.

56
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Quote.
But when you have had either an

57
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,720
experience or like this, some
kind of phenomenon or an

58
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,120
illness, above all, in the case
of illness or even an accident,

59
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,399
the body remembers for a very
long time.

60
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,840
If you want to be completely
cured, you must cure this memory

61
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:25,480
in the body.
This is absolutely

62
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,120
indispensable, and whether you
know it or not, you work in

63
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,280
order to cure the memory of the
body.

64
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,200
When the remembrance is effaced,
the body is truly healed.

65
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,680
Unfortunately, instead of
destroying the remembrance, you

66
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,880
push it back.
Most of the time you push it

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,240
down into the subconscient, and
sometimes into the inconscience,

68
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,120
still more deep.
Well, now if it is pushed back,

69
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,920
if it, if it is not completely
effaced, then very gently, very

70
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,800
gently, without seeming to do so
at all, it comes up to the

71
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,160
surface and something of which
you have been cured for years.

72
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,840
If by chance it crosses your
mind simply like that, just like

73
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,600
a little dart.
As fast as that, like a passing

74
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,200
dart.
Why, at this time I had that you

75
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,480
may be sure that sooner or
later, a few seconds, a few

76
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,200
minutes, a few hours or days
later, it will return.

77
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,480
You can, it may come back in a
much milder form, It may come

78
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,760
back in the same form.
It may come even more strongly.

79
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,360
That depends on your inner
state.

80
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,360
If you are in a pessimistic
state, it will come back more

81
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,560
strongly.
If you are in an optimistic

82
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,400
state, it will be much weaker,
but it will come back and you

83
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,080
will have to begin the battle
all over again against the

84
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,000
memory of your body so as to
destroy it.

85
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000
If this time you are more
attentive.

86
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000
If you can destroy it, you are
cured.

87
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
But if you don't destroy it, it
will return.

88
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,720
It will take a longer or shorter
time.

89
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,000
It will be more or less total,
but it will return.

90
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,720
It can come back in a flash if
you are wide awake.

91
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080
And when it returns, if you have
enough knowledge and indeed

92
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,720
enough clear sightedness to tell
yourself, well, here is that

93
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,200
wretched remembrance.
Come back again to play its

94
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,920
tricks.
Then you can give can strike a

95
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,040
violent blow and indeed destroy
its reality.

96
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,120
If you know how to do this, then
it is an opportunity to get rid

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,080
of the thing immediately.
But it is not very easy to do

98
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,640
this.
