The Planes of Our Existence Part 5 with Sraddhalu Ranade continues the discussion of Chapter XIX of Sri Aurobindo's "The Synthesis of Yoga". The original talk was given on May 17, 2019 at the Savitri Bhavan in Auroville, India and here the focus turns directly to the Vital planes of existence and the laws and the principles of the life-worlds. Sri Aurobindo says, "In this world forms do not determine the conditions of the life, but it is life which determines the form, and therefore forms are much more free, fluid, largely and to our conceptions strangely variable than in the material world." Sraddhalu discusses life-force, the ways in which life-force works, dreams, lucid dreaming, cartoons, the occult, the dangers of the occult, the spiritual compared to the occult and so much more. He specifically draws on the examples of Ingo Swan, Rolling Thunder and snakes in his discussion of the occult.
