Physiologically, the lower mind is connected to our fight-or-flight survival reactions, elicited and controlled
by fear. When people deny that anything except the physical world truly exists, they are operating only out of
their lower mind. While these same people as scientists may be able to access the ability to use great powers of
abstraction and conceptualization, properties of higher mind, they do not access the higher abilities of higher
mind, which acts as an interface with the causal or spiritual body and the information this contains (see Figure
4.2).
Figure 4.2 The layers of Man. When layers of the aura are perceived as a vertical stack, it can be clearly seen that the physical body is only a
small part of who we are. In traditional systems of the East, the physical and etheric bodies are considered your temporal vehicle to which the
other non-temporal subtle bodies are attached. Consciousness can be expressed either through the lower mind of sensory experience and
intellect, the realm of our personality, or through the higher mind of abstraction and conceptualization, encompassing our higher self.
