Vital Beings and Their Interaction in the Evolutionary World on the Material Plane

1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:05,320
According to Sages and Rishis
who have investigated the issue

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:11,200
deeply, the Earth, the material
manifested world we live in, is

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,200
the place where evolution of
consciousness takes place and

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,040
thus where the psychic being
develops to carry the progress

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360
in this evolution at the
individual level through from

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,800
lifetime to lifetime.
It is said that even the gods

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,840
need to take birth in this world
in order to progress.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,600
Otherwise they are what we may
call static beings with a fixed

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,560
place in the hierarchy of the
manifestation.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,320
This brings us then to the
interaction between beings who

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,600
are native to one of the vital
domains, but which interact with

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,120
beings on the earth plane.
These vital beings are

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,480
themselves static, non
evolutionary beings and they

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,960
thus do not possess a soul or a
psychic being.

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,780
Their interactions are based on
the fixed propensities and built

16
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:08,280
in needs and desires that they
harbour.

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,480
In some cases they feed off of
the energies produced by their

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,840
action.
In other cases they find

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,400
enjoyment in the reactions they
elicit.

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,640
Many human beings treat animals
as a source of food and they

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,240
also control and train animals
in many cases as a source of

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,320
entertainment.
We can see something analogous

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,960
with respect to vital beings
that invade the human domain for

24
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:42,640
sustenance or enjoyment.
In the case of full scale

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,320
possession.
They essentially take over the

26
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,120
instrumentation of the body,
life, mind complex, but

27
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,560
eliminate the psychic being and
its evolutionary purpose.

28
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,640
They want to use and eventually
discard the frame without

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,320
concern for any evolutionary
purpose.

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,680
In that instance, the body,
life, mind that they occupy is

31
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,680
no longer an evolutionary being,
but a static formation taking a

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,240
physical shape in the material
world.

33
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Identifying these circumstances,
however, is not easy and

34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480
requires considerable study and
investigation.

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,520
In most cases, other than the
most extreme, such as we saw

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,000
with the situation of Hitler,
who was clearly possessed and

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,040
controlled by a vital entity.
The disciple asks, have these

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,560
vital beings a psychic being?
The mother answers quote no.

39
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,000
I said that the first thing they
have to do to Incarnate is to

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,520
drive away the psychic being of
the person whom they possess.

41
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,520
That may happen from the very
birth.

42
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,920
There are children who are
almost still born.

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,480
They are taken to be dead and
suddenly they revive.

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,200
This means that a vital being
has incarnated in them.

45
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,400
I have known such cases.
This may happen also in the

46
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,480
course of an illness.
Someone is very ill and

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,800
gradually he lets go the contact
with the psychic being.

48
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Then in a swoon or some other
similar state, he cuts the

49
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,960
contact entirely and the vital
being rushes into the body.

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,120
I have known cases of this kind
also.

51
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,840
Or it may be a slow action.
The vital being enters into the

52
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,480
atmosphere of the person, goes
on influencing him and finally

53
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,520
brings about illness attacks,
specially mental illness.

54
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Then a time comes when the
connection with the psychic

55
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,280
being is entirely cut and the
vital being takes possession of

56
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,680
the body.
There are cases of people

57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,360
falling very ill and coming out
of the illness altogether

58
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,960
different from what they were.
Very often it is this that

59
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,280
happens.
