The psychic is the Divine element in the individual being and its characteristic power is to turn everything towards the Divine, to bring a fire of purification, aspiration, devotion, true light of discernment, feeling, will, action which transforms by degrees the whole nature. Quietude, peace and silence in the heart and therefore in the vital part of the being are necessary to reach the psychic, to plunge in it, for the perturbations of the vital nature, desire, emotion turned ego-wards or world-wards are the main part of the screen that hides the soul from the nature. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/descent-and-other-kinds-of-experience#p8</ref>
==Psychic Awakening==
Psychic awakening means the conscious action of the psychic from behind. When it comes to the front, it invades the mind and vital and body and psychicises their movement. It comes best by aspiration and an unquestioning and entire turning and surrender to the Mother. But also it sometimes comes of itself when the ''ādhāra'' is ready. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-psychic-and-opening#p7</ref> <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-emergence-or-coming-forward-of-the-psychic#p3</ref>
==Psychic Being==
Psychic being is quite different from the mind or vital ; it stands behind them where they meet in the heart. Its central place is there, but behind the heart rather than in the heart; for what men call usually the heart is the seat of emotion, and human emotions are mental-vital impulses, not ordinarily psychic in their nature. This mostly secret power behind, other than the mind and the life-force, is the true soul, the psychic being in us. The power of the psychic, however, can act upon the mind and vital and body, purifying thought and perception and emotion (which then becomes psychic feeling) and sensation and action and everything else in us and preparing them to be divine movements. The psychic being may he described in Indian language as the Purusha in the heart or the ''Chaitya Purusha'', but the inner or secret heart must be understood, ''hṛdaye guhāyām'', not the outer vital-emotional centre. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-psychic-being#p6</ref>
The supramental change can take place only if the psychic is awake and is made the chief support of the descending supramental power. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-psychic-being#p12</ref>
