“Individuals, through their experience in the world…” Yogi Bhajan

SSSYWa“Individuals, through their experience in the world, and through their reactions to their own mental phenomena, create various impressions that are recorded in the subconscious and the superconscious minds. This accumulation of actions and reactions creates a kind of momentum in the mind. So the mind does not start from zero. It has a perception already focused on specific categories or features of experience, even before a thought is generated.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“The tattvas give a condition to the mind…” Yogi Bhajan

SSSYWa“The tattvas give a condition to the mind, and the mind can balance the tattvas. It is a back and forth relationship. These five tattvas give qualities to the manifestation of mind into our senses, actions, and perceptions.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“The soul passes through gradual stages…” Yogi Bhajan

SSSYWa“The soul passes through gradual stages from the one unmanifested consciousness to gross manifestation. It finally connects to the densest condensations of those stages – the five last tattvas: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. It is these gross qualities that we can perceive in the qualities of earthly existence.” Yogi Bhajan
