The 12 Lessons of Raja Yoga Lesson 6 The Cultivation of Perception

Man gains his knowledge of the outside world through his senses And consequently many of us are in the habit of thinking of these senses as if they did the sensing instead of being merely carriers of the vibrations coming from the outside world which are then presented to the Mind for examination We shall speak of this at greater length a little later on in this lesson Just now we wish to impress upon you the fact that it is the Mind that perceives not the senses And consequently a development of Perception is really a development of the Mind The Yogis put their students through a very arduous course of practice and exercises designed to develop their powers of perception To many this would appear to be merely a development of the Senses which might appear odd in view of the fact that the Yogis are constantly preaching the folly of being governed and ruled by the senses But there is nothing paradoxical about all this for the Yogis while preaching the folly of sense life and manifesting the teaching in their lives nevertheless believe in any and all exercises calculated to sharpen the Mind and develop it to a keen state and condition In order for one to gain knowledge it is necessary to use to the best advantage the mental instruments and tools that he finds at his disposal And again one must develop and improve such tools put a keen edge upon them etc Not only does one gain a great benefit from a development of the faculties of perception but he also acquires an additional benefit from the training of the whole mind arising from the mental discipline and training resulting from the former exercises etc In our previous lessons we have pointed out some of the means by which these faculties might be greatly improved and their efficiency increased In this lesson we shall point out certain directions in which the Perceptive faculties may be trained We trust that the simplicity of the idea may not cause any of our students to lose interest in the work If they only knew just what such development would lead to they would gladly follow our suggestions in the matter Every one of the ideas and exercises given by us are intended to lead up to the strengthening of the Mind and the attainment of powers and the unfoldment of faculties There is no royal road to Raja Yoga but the student will be well repaid for the work of climbing the hill of Attainment This is the 6th in a series of lessons based on the powerful book check out the first here a https 3A 2F 2Fyoutu be 2FoYBGCWNeBek a A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka yoga williamwalkeratkinson rajayoga theself I considered narrating this entire book as one piece but it works better being separated into 12 parts This book consists of 12 lessons of Raja Yoga These are the lessons LESSON I The I LESSON II The Ego's Mental Tools LESSON III The Expansion of the Self LESSON IV Mental Control LESSON V The Cultivation of Attention LESSON VI Cultivation of Perception LESSON VII The Unfoldment of Consciousness LESSON VIII The Highlands and Lowlands of Mind LESSON IX The Mental Planes LESSON X Sub-Consciousing LESSON XI Sub-Conscious Character Building LESSON XII Sub-Conscious Influences This is the SIXTH lesson - The Cultivation of Perception This book is very powerful in helping to understand you true self and consists of a series of lessons designed to enlighten them regarding the nature of the Real Self and to instruct them in the secret knowledge whereby they may develop the consciousness and realization of the real I within them The last part of this episode consists of exercises and meditations to help you prepare for the 6th lesson Please let me know if you enjoyed this and I will put these out faster I have found it to be a powerful set of lessons Music by Mettaverse 777hz Deep Relaxation Angelic Frequency Scale Subscribe to their channel here a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fchannel 2FUCyvjffON2NoUvX5q TgvVkw a Listen to them on Soundcloud a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2KjGlLI a Follow them on Instagram a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2JW8BU2 a Join them on Facebook a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2G1j7G6 a Support their Work at Patreon a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2TXQhu3 a The 12 Lessons of Raja Yoga playlist - https www youtube com watch v oYBGCWNeBek list PLKv1KCSKwOo KUSj4CbHD351PWWLM6W0l All my guided meditations in one place a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fplaylist 3Flist 3DPLKv1KCSKwOo BfNnb5vLcwouInskcEhqL a For coaching a https 3A 2F 2Fwww advancedsuccessinstitute com a For all episodes of the Reality Revolution a https 3A 2F 2Fwww therealityrevolution com a Like us on Facebook a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2FRealityRevolutionPodcast 2F a Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fgroups 2F403122083826082 2F a Subscribe to my Youtube channel a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fchannel 2FUCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw a
