00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,200
Just as the electromagnetic
spectrum has ranges below those
2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,900
that we can consciously receive
and translate as well as ranges
3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:14,800
above those.
We can utilize So also
4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:19,000
Consciousness has ranges below
and above our limit.
5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,400
The range is below.
Our limits are called sub,
6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,900
continent and incontinent, those
above are called super Concha.
7
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:32,800
Scientists have developed tools,
to measure ranges of vibration
8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,400
outside.
The normally perceptible ranges,
9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:41,400
we can capture with our senses,
thus, we know about infrared and
10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,100
UltraViolet, ranges as well as
sounds that vibrate at lower and
11
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,600
higher levels.
While the limits of the sense,
12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,800
organs May prevent our directly
experiencing UV or infrared
13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,200
energy levels, we can experience
their effects and thus can
14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,700
develop strategies to either
utilize them or at least protect
15
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:09,400
ourselves from deleterious
effects such as sunburns and the
16
00:01:09,408 --> 00:01:13,700
development of skin cancers that
can occur from too much UV
17
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:18,800
exposure over time.
An analogous process can be
18
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000
understood with respect to the
action and impact of
19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,600
Consciousness, psychologists are
able to begin to unravel the
20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,300
process for understanding the
action of the subconscious
21
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,200
levels on our lives.
Freud, you will and many others
22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,600
since then have delved into the
subconscious forces that provide
23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,600
motive Force to the actions and
reactions we experience in our
24
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,100
lives.
Even if we do not fully
25
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:53,000
appreciate or understand them.
Creative Geniuses, artists,
26
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,300
inventors Visionaries.
Tell us through their
27
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,600
description of how their novel
understanding came to them of
28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,100
levels above and beyond those of
the normal human mind, and they
29
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:10,000
speak of inspiration and
intuition.
30
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,500
The Vedic, rishi's explored, the
supercontinent Realms, and their
31
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:19,800
forces and work to expand the
limits of human development, to
32
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,200
begin to incorporate these
forces where possible into their
33
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,500
experience and Consciousness.
Some of the code language, we
34
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,900
find in the rig Veda, refer to
powers of light of Illumination
35
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:39,000
of understanding that exceed,
the mental processes upon which
36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,100
our external lives are generally
found.
37
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:46,300
Hundred SRI aurobindo took up
the work of exploring and Co
38
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:48,500
defying.
The levels of consciousness
39
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:54,000
above the Mind, both through
glimpses and experiences and
40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,500
through an understanding of
their effects.
41
00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:01,500
When the mind was touched by
these forces, by observing the
42
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:04,800
stages of the evolution of
Consciousness, SRI, aurobindo
43
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,300
was able to recognize that those
ranges above the mental level,
44
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:14,000
that he was exploring and
Experiencing were representative
45
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,400
of the next phase, in the
evolution of Consciousness.
46
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,400
In the world, based on the
mechanism of the next phase
47
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,100
developing at the level of the
highest prior development.
48
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,600
He saw that, it was through
evolved Humanity that these more
49
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,400
powerful levels of consciousness
and therefore of power of action
50
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,600
in the world would necessarily
develop.
51
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Dr. Dalal notes quote, the
supercontinent consists of
52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,100
higher levels of consciousness
above the ordinary mind from
53
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,600
which the higher Consciousness
comes down into the lower planes
54
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,700
of the being, SRI aurobindo
explains quote, the role of the
55
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,500
supercontinent has been to
evolve slowly.
56
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:01,600
The spiritual man, out of the
mental, half animal and quote
57
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,900
dr.
De la continues, the
58
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,800
superconscious in, includes the
higher planes of Mind, higher
59
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:15,500
mind, illumine mind intuition
and over mind, as well as what
60
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:20,100
is beyond my namely, super mind
and the Supreme reality called
61
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:27,200

Just as the electromagnetic

We can utilize So also
4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:19,000
Consciousness has ranges below
and above our limit.
5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,400
The range is below.
Our limits are called sub,
