__NOTOC__
=What is the Psychic Being?=
It is the soul in evolution.
The psychic being is a divine nucleus in each human being which stands behind mind, life and body but of which we are only dimly aware.
It is a portion of the Divine that persists after death and permanent from life to life, taking the experience of life through its outer instruments. As this experience grows it manifests a developing psychic personality which insisting always on the good, true and beautiful, finally becomes ready and strong enough to turn the nature towards the Divine.

The psychic being is formed progressively around this divine centre, the soul, in the course of its innumerable lives in the terrestrial evolution, until the time comes when the psychic being, fully formed and wholly awakened, becomes the conscious sheath of the soul around which it is formed.
And thus identified with the Divine, it becomes His perfect instrument in the world.

The psychic being is that which persists after death, because it is your eternal self; it is this that carries the consciousness forward from life to life.

The psychic being is in the heart centre in the middle of the chest (not in the physical heart, for all the centres are in the middle of the body), but it is deep behind.

=Why is the Psychic Being Important?=
==For Transforming Parts of the Being==
=How to Connect to the Psychic Being?=
The mind (thoughts and beliefs) and vital (emotions and desires) must be quietened, purified and transformed.

==PracticesHelpful Means==
===Aspiration===
One has to aspire for discrimination in the mind, purity in the vital, calm equanimity, enduring patience, absence of pride and especially the development of the psychic being through surrender, self-giving, psychic humility and devotion.
Above the head: to bring peace, silence, liberation from the body sense, the identification with mind and life, facilitate Divine descent and open the way for the lower (mental-vital-physical) consciousness to rise up and meet the higher Consciousness.
Between the eyebrows: to liberate the inner mind and vision, to awaken Yogic consciousness.Heart centre: opened by aspiration, love, bhakti, surrender.

One can fix a time every day when one can be free and undisturbed; sit comfortably and think of one’s psychic being with an aspiration to enter into contact with it, and not be discouraged if success is not immediate.

The psychic being at its origin is only a spark of the divine consciousness and it is through successive lives that it builds up a conscious individuality.
