The Planes of Our Existence Part 11 with Sraddhalu Ranade continues the discussion on the planes of consciousness from chapter XIX of Sri Aurobindo's The Synthesis of Yoga. The focus here is upon the mental planes of consciousness and how they work their way into the vital and physical planes, including how dematerialization and materialization works. In the next to last paragraph of the chapter on page 455 Sri Aurobindo says: "This world of mental existence is constantly acting upon us and our world, has its powers and its beings, is related to us through our mental body.... There we find the psychical and mental heavens to which the Purusha can ascend when it drops this physical body and can there sojourn till the impulse to terrestrial existence again draws it downward." This is a slightly edited version of Sraddhalu's talk given on October 4, 2019 at Savitri Bhavan, Auroville, India and recorded by Integral Studies.TV.
