The Planes of Our Existence Part 7 with Sraddhalu Ranade continues the discussion on Chapter XIX of Sri Aurobindo's "The Synthesis of Yoga", with the main reading coming from page 453. The original talk was given on May 31, 2019 at the Savitri Bhavan in Auroville, India and recorded by Integral Studies.TV. The focus here is upon how the life-world effects the physical plane and vice versa. Sri Aurobindo says, "the material world is really a sort of projection from the vital..... Life on earth may be said to be the result of the pressure of this life-world on the material." Sraddhalu gives many examples of how this is so by looking into the lives of The Mother, Luther Burbank, certain yogis who live in the snow, gardeners who get help from elemental beings, gardens and flowers, trees, snake charmers, unusual symbiotic relationships between life forms, crystal caves, mountains and much more. Sraddhalu also introduces the mental planes of existence and how they work in relation to the vital planes, and how the superconscient lies behind the mental planes.
