Widening the Consciousness Through Identification with Galactic Space

1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,000
The principal patanjali set
forth for the practice of

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,800
samyama.
Provided that one would be

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,900
identified with and gain
complete knowledge with the

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:14,400
object of the practice of
concentration.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,900
Those who choose to identify
with the vast Galactic, Panorama

6
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:25,200
of stars and space would find
their Consciousness widened and

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,600
they would loosen the bonds with
a narrow ego personality.

8
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,300
Since the ego personality is the
not of what the spiritual

9
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,600
disciplines called bondage to
the world of Illusions.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,900
Maya, this practice provides a
useful opportunity, to shift the

11
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:45,200
Consciousness to a wider and
more disinterested.

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Fear.
The mother writes quote one.

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Must if one can widen one's
Consciousness.

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
I knew somebody who wanted to
widen his Consciousness.

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,500
He said he had found a way it
was to lie flat on his back at

16
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,700
Night Out of Doors and look at
the stars and try to identify

17
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:12,400
himself with them and go away.
Deep into an immense world and

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,400
so lose completely all sense of
proportion.

19
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,900
Of the order of the earth and
all its little things and become

20
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:27,200
vast as the sky, you couldn't
say as vast as the universe for.

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,900
We see only a tiny bit of it,
but vast is the sky with all its

22
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,100
stars.
And so, you know, the little

23
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:40,000
impurities fall off for the time
being and one understands things

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,100
on a very vast scale.
It's a good exercise and quote,
