00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,440
When we are fixed in the
external consciousness and

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,880
perceive things with the
external senses, we treat

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,120
material objects as solid.
We do not see that they are

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:16,720
actually energy that has been
condensed to appear solid to us,

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,840
while in fact they are a form of
energy.

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,400
Western scientists, however, for
the last 90 to 100 years at

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,760
least, have understood that
matter is not real and that it

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,280
is energy.
More recently, scientists are

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,360
beginning to discover that
energy is actually a form of

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,960
consciousness.
What does all this have to do

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,520
with how we perceive our lives?
To the extent that we treat

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,800
matter as real and solid, we do
not undertake to see behind this

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,920
apparent solidity to the
interplay of vibratory forces

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,000
that is actually taking place.
We know that certain audible

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,960
vibrations, such as certain
notes expressed by certain opera

16
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,440
singers, can shatter glass.
We thus know that sound

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,880
vibrations interact with
material objects in a way that

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,480
can break down the integrity of
the object itself.

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Similarly, lasers, a
concentrated form of light

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,360
energy, can breakdown material
forms, and they are now widely

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,920
used in medicine to break up
obstructions or even tumorous

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,480
material in the body.
Shamanic practitioners and some

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,760
who engage in vision quests or
utilize entheogenic psychoactive

24
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,440
substances frequently report
seeing the energetic patterns of

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,920
the material substances, seeing
their vibrations, and seeing the

26
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,240
interchange of vibrations
between beings and substances in

27
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,800
their external environment.
They can actually see the trees

28
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,720
breathing and sending out
energies and see lines of force

29
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,880
radiating from everything.
Those with psychic sensitivity

30
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,360
can frequently see the aura that
radiates around others and

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,400
around material objects, and can
sense the impact of those

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,320
energies as they meet and either
work to enhance or oppose the

33
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,680
action of other energies.
There are numerous accounts of

34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,800
yogis or practitioners of the
occult sciences being able to

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,800
perceive, manipulate, and change
vibrational patterns and thereby

36
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,160
effectuate results that elude
the understanding of the

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,000
material mind.
Paramount's Yoganad, in his book

38
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,640
Autobiography of a Yogi,
recounts events of

39
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,400
materialization of fruits,
scents, vibhutiash, et cetera,

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,760
by those who had gained insight
and power of action in certain

41
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,760
manipulation of the vibrational
forces that lead to the

42
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,080
formation of material objects.
All of this is a preliminary

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,480
basis for understanding the play
of vibrations that takes place

44
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,560
constantly within and around us
as we interact with other

45
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,200
beings, objects, and forces that
are active in our lives.

46
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,360
In many cases, without our
observing or understanding them,

47
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,880
there are not only vibrations of
manifestation, but also those

48
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,600
that cause dissolution.
Each successive stage of

49
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,680
consciousness vibrates at a
different frequency, so that not

50
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,440
only can there be dissonant
vibrations occurring within one

51
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,440
sphere, but vibrations from
other spheres of activity can

52
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,960
interact with and modify the
other spheres.

53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Thus, the advent of the vital
plane into the material

54
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,920
existence had serious
consequences, some of which were

55
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,960
disruptive to the status quo of
the material plane.

56
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Also, the vital had conflicting
drives or forces that interacted

57
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,480
with one another, some to
enhance, some to oppose the

58
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,959
action of the other.
When the mental vibrational

59
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:25,760
field activated, it too had
serious consequences not only

60
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,480
for creating opposing vibrations
on the mental plane, but also

61
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,240
for the impact these have on the
vital and physical planes.

62
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Thus, they are all in a state of
disharmony and imbalance until

63
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,880
set right.
We may recognize something of

64
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,960
this process in the creation of
Symphony orchestras.

65
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Each of the instruments makes
different vibrational patterns

66
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,320
and sounds, and some play in
different ranges of vibration or

67
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,920
scales.
Without guidance, the sound can

68
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,240
be disharmonious and extremely
disturbing.

69
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,360
The role of the composer and
then the conductor is to bring

70
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,320
harmony to the vibrations
expressed by the various

71
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,720
instruments to make music.
A similar process is at work

72
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200
with the sequential expression
of higher forms of consciousness

73
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,480
vibrating at increasing levels
of coherence.

74
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Eventually the disharmonies and
imbalances caused by the action

75
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,680
of the physical, vital and
mental forces at work and

76
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,600
interacting with one another
have to be brought into a state

77
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,440
of balance and harmony, which
can occur as the spiritual force

78
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,520
intervenes and brings a vision
of an understanding of the

79
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,600
greater harmony and how it is to
be created.

80
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,160
The Mother observes.
Quote For my consciousness The

81
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,360
whole life upon earth, including
the human life and all its

82
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,840
mentality, is a mass of
vibrations, mostly vibrations of

83
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,760
falsehood, ignorance and
disorder in which are more and

84
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,800
more at work, vibrations of
truth and harmony coming from

85
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,760
the higher regions and pushing
their way through the

86
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,480
resistance.
