Universal Forces and Their Impact on the Individual and Means of Protection From Their Action

1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,440
We are constantly being
inundated by forces active in

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,760
the world.
These forces may be physical,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,360
such as the radiation from the
sun, radioactivity from the

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Earth, the power of wind, waves,
gravitational influences,

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,960
etcetera.
They may also be vital forces

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,720
that provoke sympathetic
vibrations within us based on

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,200
long habit or instinctive
reaction or some trained

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,200
response we have developed with
respect to events,

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,000
circumstances, relationships or
traumas in our past experience.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,040
They may also be mental forces
which may feed us ideas,

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,080
opinions, speculations,
imaginations that are

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,360
circulating in the world.
These forces may be introduced

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,880
to us through the medium of
specific individuals, events or

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,400
interactions, but they may also
reach us unseen and unheard and

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,400
try to find their entrance
through some form of inattention

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,600
or through active acceptance on
our part.

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,240
The practitioner of yoga may
shift his standpoint from the

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,200
external personality to the
inner psychic being, and from

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,720
there he begins to observe the
forces that want to move him to

20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:29,200
thought, word or deed.
He may accept, modify, reject,

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200
or retransmit these forces, as
the case may be.

22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,080
He may also reject a particular
force in his mind, but still

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000
have vital or physical
acceptance of it, thus giving

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,120
the force an entry point to his
being.

25
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
It is a frequent observation
that when one of these forces,

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,080
particularly strong vital
forces, is rejected by the

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,640
conscious observer, it tends to
try to assert its rights of

28
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
activity through an enhanced
force.

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Triorobindo also mentions the
potential action of hostiles.

30
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,760
We tend not to realize that we
are not the only conscious

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,440
beings in the universe, or that
beings that live in different

32
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,880
vibrational fields may be as
conscious or more conscious than

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,320
we are, and that they may have
the ability to interact with us.

34
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,720
At certain vibrational levels.
We may reflect that humanity

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200
tends to feed off of beings that
vibrate in many cases.

36
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,120
At a lower vibrational level, we
can appreciate that there may be

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,760
beings who may feed off of the
vital energies we vibrate, and

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,440
in some cases they may act to
provoke such vital expression

39
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760
for them to feed off of.
They may then try to activate

40
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,880
energies of greed, lust, anger,
hatred, violent passions as

41
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,360
providing them vital food they
seek.

42
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,720
In some cases they may feel like
they possess or own us, and if

43
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,280
we try to block them, they try
to take retributive action to

44
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,200
bring us into line.
Most people do not actually

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,800
actively experience these things
and thus remain ignorant of

46
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,680
these vital beings, their powers
and their ability to manipulate

47
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,120
human vital responses.
The physical body and the vital

48
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,640
envelope as well as mental
development may actually provide

49
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,240
some measure of protection for
the individual.

50
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,080
The more an individual becomes
conscious, however, of the

51
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,560
action of vital forces and the
flow of energies from outside,

52
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,080
in and around and through each
of us, the more likely it is

53
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,560
that he will be able to see and
recognize the attempts made by

54
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,880
these forces to influence and
control.

55
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,840
There are a number of ways the
seeker can develop ironclad

56
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,480
protection from attacks by these
forces, primary of which is the

57
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520
shifting of the standpoint to
the inner consciousness of the

58
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,920
psychic being and the
aspiration, devotion and

59
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,959
consecration that this shift of
standpoint brings to the being.

60
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:24,200
Dedication, surrender and
rejection of vital forces that

61
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:31,280
try to invade are a result of
this shift, Shiorovindo writes.

62
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,280
Quote As for the waves that
recur from general nature, it is

63
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:40,720
the natural tendency of the
inferior forces there to try and

64
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960
perpetuate their action in the
individual, to rebuild what he

65
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,640
has unbuilt of their deposits in
him.

66
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,040
So they return on him, often
with an increased force, even

67
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,080
with a stupendous violence, when
they find their influence

68
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,920
rejected.
But they cannot last long once

69
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,280
the environmental consciousness
is cleared, unless the hostiles

70
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,200
take a hand.
Even then, these can indeed

71
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,560
attack, but if the Sadiq has
established his position in the

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,080
inner self, they can only attack
and retire.

73
