Necessity of the Complete Psycho-Spiritual Emergence
Posted by: Tusar N. Mohapatra on: February 12, 2012
Spiritual experiences that are not based on the complete emergence of the soul may be mixed with inner mental, vital or physical movements that can vitiate the purity of the experience and in fact, lead to imperfect or misguided results. “there could be an emergence not only of the subliminal knowledge but of the subliminal ignorance.” Sri Aurobindo points out these dangers: “In the absence of any or of a complete psychic emergence, experiences of certain kinds, experiences of greater knowledge and force, a surpassing of the ordinary limits, might lead to a magnified ego and even bring about instead of an out-flowering of what is divine or spiritual an uprush of the titanic or demoniac, or might call in agencies and powers which, though not of this disastrous type, are of a powerful but inferior cosmic character.”
