Let your higher nature be on guard and refuse to be drawn back into the brute life which has been passed through. Keep your gaze upward, and let your motto be: "Forward." The brute nature may exert a pull downward, but the spiritual mind will give you a helping hand, and will sustain you if you but trust to it. The intellect is between the two, and may be influenced by either or both. Take your choice, oh, struggling soul. Your help is within you; look to it, and refuse to be dragged back into the mire of the animal mind. Manifest the "I" within you and be strong. You are an immortal soul, and are moving on and on and on to still greater things. Peace be yours.

I actually had an autographed Berra ball as a child. I wonder where it is.

It's from 117 year old, 335 page book explaining a philosophy likely older than 1BCE. Definitely something everyone should read.

Considering page 45 quotes a verse of the book of Matthew from the new testament as a good mental place to be in, I'm going to disagree.

This is how a yogi views reality, a reality I live. I'm fully aware that many of you will disagree and ridicule me but that's ok and anticipated.

THE CONSTITUTION OF MAN.
Man is a far more complete being than is generally imagined. He has not only a body and a soul, but he is a spirit possessing a soul, which soul has several vehicles for expression, these several vehicles being of different degrees of density, the body being the lowest form of expression. These different vehicles manifest upon different "planes," such as the "physical plane," the "astral plane," etc., all of which will be explained as we proceed.

The real self is pure spirit, a spark of the divine fire. This spirit is encased within numerous sheaths, which prevent its full expression. As man advances in development, his consciousness passes from the lower planes to the higher, and he becomes more and more aware of his higher nature. The spirit contains within it all potentialities, and as man progresses he unfolds new powers, new qualities, into the light.

The Yogi philosophy teaches that man is composed of seven principles - is a sevenfold creature. The best way to think of man is to realize that the spirit is the real self, and that the lower principles are but confining sheaths. Man may manifest upon seven planes, that is, the highly developed man, as the majority of men of this age can manifest only upon the lower planes, the higher planes not having as yet been reached by them, although every man, no matter how undeveloped, possesses the seven principles potentially. The first five planes have been attained by many, the sixth by a few, the seventh by practically none of this race at this time.

7. Spirit.
6. Spiritual-Mind.
5. Intellect.
4. Instinctive-Mind.
3. Prana, or Vital Force.
2. Astral Body.
1. Physical Body.

@beefcake71090

This is why I knew you'd would choose intellect.

Now that you laid this all out, I do recall this concept. I've gone through a lot of ideologies, philosophies, etc. Some of which have been Buddhist or Yogi in nature. I did used to believe this kind of thing, but I don't anymore. In the context of the 7 categories you listed, I just don't believe in any of the intangibles.

Not that I believe you're wrong, I just don't believe it is true. I could be wrong, you could be wrong, both could be right, idk. But in my life, I just didn't find what I was looking for in "spiritual" concepts. As far as I'm concerned nowadays, all that exists is what we can experience. So I guess you could call that Empiricist or something.

Anywho, I do respect your perspective on this, even if I don't agree with you on some specifics. :)

I appreciate your response.

Even from the view of quantum physics, the intangibles make the mix happen.

Can man truly measure that which he made of through external means? Isn't what he is comprised of the same thing he's looking for? What if it can only be see internally or how we interact with our perceptions?

The only duality is that which we create. Everything is one and the same.

Right, so it's like, reality is questionable, so nothing is real and all is real at once. Truth to one is falsehood to another. But both are real. This leads me to believe that there is likely 1 true objective truth for the nature of the universe we live in, but we probably are not meant to understand it, at least in our normal lives, perhaps after and before, but not during. So I'm basically all like, whateva. Do good and try not to be a dick. The rest will sort itself out.

A fancy way of saying I couldn't figure it out and stopped trying.

There is the reality that is unquestionable though, the intangible reality because we've all experienced how unpredictable this all is.

That is the Spirit the yogi tries to achieve. Be nothing while experiencing everything.
