00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:06,500
When looked at from the outside,
it seems that matter came first
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,300
and out of matter, arose life,
and out of life, arose mind.
3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,200
What is not addressed here is?
How material forces were able to
4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,200
create life and intelligence in
a seemingly random fashion.
5
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:26,600
This is why some religious
Traditions posit that there is
6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,000
an external all-powerful, being
God, who creates everything
7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,400
since matter on its own, simply
is not able to create something
8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,200
Beyond itself.
The New Testament of the Bible
9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,100
begins with an intriguing
statement of in the beginning
10
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,000
was the word.
This points to a non-material
11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,200
origin as the cause of
existence.
12
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:57,100
When we observe the working of
human intelligence applied, to
13
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:03,000
any situation, we see that
imagination concept idea,
14
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:08,700
thought and planning precede the
actual creation of any material
15
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:13,400
form that an individual May
envision. plus, there are many
16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000
who hold that, the more subtle
power of thought is, in fact,
17
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:22,400
the causative Factor If we
follow this logic further, we
18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,900
find that there are even more
subtle and Powerful causative
19
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:29,200
elements that create thought
itself.
20
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,800
In the tight area, who punish
odd the secret tries to discover
21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,500
the reality behind existence as
he seeks for the eternal. his
22
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:45,700
father, his teacher tells him to
seek that, by which, all is
23
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:51,100
born, by which all live and
into, which all things enter
24
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:56,100
Gann upon death and dissolution,
The secret begins with the idea
25
00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:01,500
of matter, but soon finds that
he cannot explain everything as
26
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:05,400
resulting from matter.
He continues the process
27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,200
eventually coming to knowledge
and Bliss as the true powers of
28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,300
creation.
Western scientists following a
29
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,300
similar process.
Have delved deeply into matter.
30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,900
They eventually found that
matter does not exist.
31
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,100
It is actually a form of energy.
Further, they find that energy
32
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:33,600
is a form of Consciousness,
Consciousness pervades
33
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:38,700
permeates, and constitutes the
universal creation.
34
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,400
The actual moving power is an
existence are not those.
35
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,200
We observe on the surface just
as we are misled.
36
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,300
When we believe the sun rotates
around the earth, or that the
37
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,200
Earth existence is at the center
of the universe.
38
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:59,300
So also, we are similarly,
misled about what causes us to
39
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:03,300
exist, to live, to act, to
think.
40
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:11,000
And to grow Dr. Dalal observes
quote, a Salient aspect of Sri
41
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
aurobindo as yoga pertaining to
the psychology of inner growth
42
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,400
is its view of the inner and
higher planes of Consciousness
43
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,600
as Dynamic forces though.
Hidden from the outer surface
44
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,900
Consciousness, the inner and
higher parts of the being
45
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,900
exercised on the surface parts
of the being a constant
46
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:35,200
influence and pressure pushing
towards the evolution and growth
47
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,600
of Consciousness alluding to the
decisive part, played by the
48
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,900
higher planes of Consciousness
in the earth evolution SRI
49
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:49,300
aurobindo, writes quote, our
development takes place very
50
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:53,300
largely by their superior but
hidden action upon the Earth
51
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,200
plane.
All is contained in the
52
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,000
incontinent or the subconscient,
but in potentiality, it is the
53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,800
action from above that helps to
compel an emergence. a
54
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,500
continuance of that action is
necessary to shape and determine
55
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:13,500
the progression of the mental,
and vital forms, which are
56
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,800
Evolution tapes in material
nature for these Progressive
57
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,400
movements cannot find their full
momentum or sufficiently
58
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,300
developed their implications
against the resistance of an
59
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:32,600
incontinent or inert or ignorant
material nature, except by a
60
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,400
constant do occult resort to
Higher super physical forces of
61
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,900
their own character.
This Resort, the action of this
62
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:46,400
veiled Alliance takes place
principally in our subliminal
63
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,800
being and not on the surface.
It is from there that the active
64
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,000
power of our Consciousness
emerges, and all that it
65
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,600
realizes it sends back
constantly into the subliminal,
66
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,500
being to be stored up developed
and re-emerge in stronger, forms
67
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:10,300
Hereafter This interaction of
our larger hidden being and our
68
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:14,700
surface personality is the main
secret of the rapid development.
69
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:19,400
That operates a man once he has
passed beyond the lower stages
70
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,100
of Mind.
