==Idea==
It is intellect that puts ideas in the form of thoughts, gathering and organising the thoughts at the same time. There are great ideas which lie beyond the ordinary human mentality, which can put on all possible forms. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/17-june-1953#p10,p11</ref>
There is a power in the idea—a force of which the idea is a shape. Again, behind the idea and force and word there is what is called the spirit,—a consciousness which generates the force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/thought-and-knowledge#p22</ref>
There is a part of the mind which receives ideas, ideas that are formed in a higher mind.
==Ignorance==
Our incapacity does not matter―there is no human being who is not in his parts of nature incapable―but the Divine Force is also there. If one puts one’s trust in that, incapacity will be changed into capacity. Difficulty and struggle themselves then become a means towards the achievement.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/25/trust-in-the-mothers-force-in-difficulty#p1</ref>
One ought not to settle down into a fixed idea of one’s own incapacity or allow it to become an obsession; for such an attitude has no true justification and unnecessarily renders the way harder. Where there is a soul that has once become awake, there is surely a capacity within that can outweigh all surface defects and can in the end conquer.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/basic-requisites-of-the-path-i#p46</ref>
==Inconscient==
Inconscient is an appearance, a dwelling place, an instrument of a secret Consciousness or a Superconscient which has created the miracle we call the universe. Matter is the field and the creation of the Inconscient. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/1-may-1957#p2</ref>
If there is a negation of something, it is truly the Inconscient, it is the negation of everything. It has not even the capacity of emptiness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/24-march-1951#p5</ref>
==Indifference==
Inertia is the very character of the physical consciousness left to itself—it is accustomed to be passive to forces and to be their instrument or give a mechanical response to them.
Dullness, uneasiness, weakness, feeling old and worn out or ill, are the reactions that come when the inertia of the physical Nature resisting the Light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p14,p16,p18</ref>
==Interchange==
When one is with another for sometime talking etc., there is always some vital interchange, unless one rejects what comes from others instinctively or deliberately. If one is impressionable, there may be a strong impression or influence from the others. Then when one goes to another person it is possible to pass it on to the other. That is a thing which is constantly happening. But this happens without the knowledge of the transmitter. When one is conscious, one can prevent it happening.
A certain amount of self-defence is necessary, so that the consciousness may not be pulled down or out constantly into the ordinary atmosphere or the physical strained by being forced into activities that have become foreign to you. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/human-relationships-in-yoga-iv#p2,p11</ref>
==Intermediate Zone==
[The intermediate zone is] that when the sadhak gets beyond the barriers of his own embodied personal mind he enters into a wide range of experiences which are not the limited solid physical truth of things and not yet either the spiritual truth of things. It is a zone of formations, mental, vital, subtle physical, and whatever one forms or is formed by the forces of these worlds in us becomes for the sadhak for a time the truth—unless he is guided and listens to his guide. Afterwards if he gets through he discovers what it was and passes on into the subtle truth of things. It is a borderland where all the worlds meet, mental, vital, subtle physical, pseudo-spiritual—but there is no order or firm foothold—a passage between the physical and the true spiritual realms.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-intermediate-zone#p1</ref> ==IntrusionsIntuition== Intuition is in direct contact with the higher Truth but not in an integral contact. It gets the Truth in flashes and turns these flashes of Truth-perception into intuitions—intuitive ideas. The ideas of the true Intuition are always correct so far as they go—but when intuition is diluted in the ordinary mind stuff, its truth gets mixed with error. The Intuition is the first plane on which there is a real opening to the full possibility of realisation—it is through it that one goes farther—first to Overmind and then to Supermind.
==Iṣṭa Devatā==
God meets us first in different limited affirmations of his divine qualities and nature; he presents himself to the seeker as an absolute of the things he can understand and to which his will and heart can respond; he discloses some name and aspect of his Godhead. This is what is called in Yoga the ''iṣṭa-devatā'', the name and form elected by our nature for its worship. In order that the human being may embrace this Godhead with every part of himself, it is represented with a form that answers to its aspects and qualities and which becomes the living body of God to the adorer. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-mystery-of-love#p3</ref> ==IsvaraIshwara== The Ishwara is supracosmic as well as intracosmic; He is that which exceeds and inhabits and supports all individuality; He is the supreme and universal Brahman, the Absolute, the supreme Self, the supreme Purusha.He is the Conscious Being, Soul, Spirit, Purusha, and it is by his Nature, the force of his conscious self-existence that he is all things; the omniscient and omnipotent All-ruler, and it is by his Shakti, his conscious Power, that he manifests himself in Time and governs the universe. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/brahman-purusha-ishwara-maya-prakriti-shakti#p3,p27</ref>
