03. The Triple Transformation: Psychic – Spiritual – Supramental

Fragment ID: 2632

The experience you feel is that of the Atman, the cosmic Self supporting the cosmic consciousness – not yet clear but in its first impression. When the consciousness goes down from that condition, it brings something of it into the vital and physical consciousness and the result is either that these parts or at least the vital open and get into touch with what has been brought down. The inert tāmasikatā or the unease in the legs comes because the physical is not able to receive or assimilate. This will disappear when that part opens and receives and is able to assimilate.

It was there the occasional descent of the Force to establish a connection – here the descent is taking another form intended to establish the fundamental experiences of the Realisation.
