00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,760
We tend to pay attention to the
various forms of external
2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,480
communication that takes place
between people.
3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,480
Written, verbal, and visual,
nonverbal cues through body
4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,880
language or expression are all
considered to be the major means
5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,720
of creating a relation between
individuals.
6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,880
What we do not always recognize,
however, is the impact and
7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,040
importance of the subtle
subliminal communication that is
8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,280
constantly taking place.
We understand that there are
9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,640
vibrations that fall outside the
spectrum that we can consciously
10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,080
perceive with our senses.
We cannot dismiss them, however,
11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,760
as to their effect on us, simply
because we cannot see, hear, or
12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,160
feel them with our limited sense
organs.
13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,560
Some examples are easily
appreciated.
14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,840
For instance, we sometimes feel
like someone is watching us
15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,600
although they are behind us and
thus not directly visible to our
16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,240
sight.
We get an inner feeling more
17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,160
than a direct sense perception,
and it often time proves to be
18
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,000
true.
Sometimes we get a sense of
19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,840
someone's goodwill or a feeling
of comfort, or of being
20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,920
protected in the presence of
someone.
21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,400
That represents A subtle
perception of the feeling
22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,480
someone is radiating from their
inner being.
23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,080
Similarly, we can sometimes get
a sense of discomfort or dread
24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,240
if that individual happens to be
putting out vibrations that are
25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,000
uncomfortable to US.
Women frequently report a
26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200
feeling of unease from receiving
unwanted vibrations of a sexual
27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,960
nature, even when nothing has
been overtly said and they
28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,200
cannot see the individual
focused on those energies.
29
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,720
Sometimes we simply absorb an
energy and experience feelings
30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,280
of hunger or sadness without
knowing exactly why.
31
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,479
A widely reported phenomenon is
the feeling of a deep peace or a
32
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,400
sense of spiritual energy that
occurs in the presence of a
33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,000
dedicated yogic practitioner or
realized spiritual being.
34
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000
The atmosphere in their
surroundings is permeated with
35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,880
vibrations that fill us with a
sense of well-being, an
36
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:32,320
experience of bliss or peace or
aspiration, gratitude or love.
37
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,080
The more focused we are on the
external senses and the thought
38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,160
process that arises therefrom,
the less we tend to pay
39
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,720
conscious attention to what is
taking place within us
40
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,800
subliminally.
As we shift our awareness inward
41
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,840
and reduce our reliance on the
impressions and impulses
42
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,160
provided by the external sense
organs, we can begin to
43
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,920
recognize and understand the
working of these heretofore
44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,840
subliminal forces.
We can then truly begin to
45
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,320
appreciate the way we are
influenced how thoughts,
46
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,120
emotions, feelings develop
without any ostensible outer
47
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,160
context or support, and we can
begin to appreciate the complex
48
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,800
interaction of each individual
with all others.
49
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,760
It is through a deeper
appreciation of the subliminal
50
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,360
interaction that we can truly
gain a better understanding of
51
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,920
the ideas, feelings,
motivations, needs and drives
52
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,720
that are active within ourselves
and others, and thereby gain
53
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,360
both a deeper understanding and
a better ability to manage these
54
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,720
impacts within the framework of
our aspirations and goals,
55
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Shriyorubinda Notes Quote There
is a constant, mental, vital,
56
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,120
subtle physical interchange
going on between all who meet or
57
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,920
live together, of which they are
themselves unaware, except in so
58
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,160
far as its impact and
interpenetrations touch them as
59
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,800
sensible results of speech and
action and outer contact.
60
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,480
For the most part, it is
suddenly and invisibly that this
61
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,400
interchange takes place, for it
acts indirectly, touching the
62
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,440
subliminal parts and through
them the outer nature.
63
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,400
But when we grow conscious in
these subliminal parts, that
64
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000
brings consciousness also of all
this interaction and subjective
65
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,920
interchange and intermingling,
with the result that we need no
66
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,720
longer be involuntarily subjects
of their impact and consequence,
67
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,800
but can accept or reject, defend
ourselves, or isolate.
68
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,000
At the same time, our action on
others need no longer be
69
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,760
ignorant or involuntary and
often unintentionally harmful.
70
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,680
It can be a conscious help, a
luminous interchange and a
71
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,280
fruitful accommodation, an
approach towards an inner
72
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,400
understanding or union, not, as
now a separate of association
73
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,840
with only a limited intimacy or
unity, restricted by much non
74
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,880
understanding, and often
burdened or endangered by a mass
75
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,600
of misunderstanding of mutual
misinterpretation and error.
