The Vital Mind (Dynamic Mind)
The vital mind is an intermediary between emotions, desires, vital impulses and the true mind. Its movements are felt in the upper chest, just above the emotional being.
The True Mind
The true mind is the seat of pure reason and intelligent will.
It is called Buddhi in Sanskrit. This power of intelligent will is normally available to humanity at the current stage of evolution.
The Inner Being, The Subliminal Self.
The subliminal self is a vast realm submerged in our consciousness. Our awakened mind and our ego are just the tip of the iceberg. This summit is our surface consciousness. It is our external being. Behind this outer being, is our inner being or our subliminal plane.
The Psychic Being The Evolving Soul
"Psyche" is a Greek word for soul.
The soul is a spark of the Divine that helps the evolution of the material world. It contains all possibilities and the function of evolution is to express it. The psychic being is formed by the soul in its evolution. It is our true deeper self behind the superficial selfish personality.
The Planes of Consciousness.
Our being has two poles of existence. The Superconscious pole is above. The unconscious pole is below. There is a great extension of consciousness between these two poles. Our mind can only access a small range of consciousness between these two poles. Sri Aurobindo divides this extension of consciousness into two hemispheres; the upper and the lower. The upper part is our divine Nature, the infinite and formless existence beyond time and space. The conscious and beatific existence of the One, the Satchitananda in Sanskrit.
The lower hemisphere is made up of the three planes; of the Mental, the Vital and the Physical in time and space. Between these two hemispheres is the Supermind that connects them.
Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga goes beyond individual liberation and embarks on a collective transformation on Earth.
Even the descent of the consciousness of the Supreme Mind is not enough to transform the dark resistance of the consciousness of the body. We must go beyond the Supermind and enter the Supramind.
Only the descent of the Supramind into the universalized human instrument can successfully transform the dark consciousness of physical nature. It is the final transformation that leads to a divine life and eventually the birth of a new species on earth.
We are in the midst of this crucial era where the old world is still visible while the new divine matter grows within our bodies.
