A repost – how little we know

We know very little

We should try but truth is there are many parts of Brahma / God / consciousness / Atman.

Can you see infra red light, ultraviolet light?
Can you see magnetic fields ?
Just a few things that science can evaluate with expensive instruments
But there are many things which scientists can’t even reach

Similarity in the mental place there are things you do not know
The yogi know them

“We are conscious of only an insignificant portion of our being.” What are these insignificant parts of our being?

Almost all of them.

There are very few things which are not insignificant; all your ordinary reactions, ordinary thoughts, sensations, actions, movements,—all this is very insignificant. It is only at times,
when there is a flash of the higher consciousness through the psychic, an opening into something else, a contact with the psychic being (which may last for a second), at that moment, it is not insignificant. Otherwise, all the rest is repeated in millions and millions of copies. Your way of seeing, acting, all your reactions, thoughts, feelings, all that is ordinary. And you believe you are extraordinary, particularly when you are seized by extraordinary sensations and feelings, those that you consider extraordinary—you believe you are lifted higher, nearing something superhuman; but you are quite mistaken. It is nothing but an ordinary state, deplorably ordinary. You must enter deeper, try to see within yourself if you want to find something which is not insignificant.

Thought I would share this. Attempt to be truly extraordinary. Not a delusional extraordinary.
Anyone see the movie Lucy?
