Wednesday, March 21, 2007 I Believe, That You Believe In Your Truth!
"As the crust of the outer nature cracks, as the walls of inner separation break down, the inner light gets through, the inner fire burns in the heart, the substance of the nature and the stuff of consciousness refine to a greater subtlety and purity, and deeper psychic experiences become possible... The soul begins to unveil itself and manifest itself as the central being which upholds mind and life and body."
Sri Aurobindo was born in 1872 in India. He was many things before he died in December of 1950. His Yoga teachings are practiced around the globe today and it's interesting to note that he developed his spiritual path while being incarcerated for a year, in a jail, in Bengal. Through meditation, Aurobindo connected to the web of consciousness that is part of each and every one of us. His awakening came through his thoughts of Hindu teachings, and the works of the Indian philosopher, Swami Vivekananda. He wanted to crack his outer shell and reconnect to his inner fire. The fire that is the substance for nature, the universe, and all life. It may not be the path I choose to find my fire, but I can find it just as Aurobindo did, by looking within myself. As I study different cultures and beliefs, the one point that is prominent in all of them is the feeling of association with a higher consciousness...Posted by Hal at 8:36 AM
