Our Human Makeup is a summary of this aspect of being as presented in Sri Aurobindo's teachings:This is the densest level of consciousness, matter proper, which shades down to the Subconscient and eventually the Inconscient. Being material, it lacks the plasticity and light of the higher parts and planes of the being. It is not however evil, and in no way does Sri Aurobindo ever reject the body or the physical life. Like all the parts of the being, the Physical being is to be transformed through integral yoga, and indeed that transformation is absolutely necessary for the Supramental manifestation

The following quotes of Sri Aurobindo are from the "Divine Plan" website (no longer online)
"This part of the physical consciousness is mechanical, stupid, full of ignorance and inertia, inertly moved by habits or by the forces of the lower nature and unwilling to receive the Light or obey the higher force. It clings to its habits (what people call their character) or its habits (habitual movements) cling to it and repeat themselves like a clock working in a persistent mechanical way. The remedy is aspiration steady and unchanging, patient work, the psychic in the physical, calling down the Light and Force into these obscure parts. "
"The physical consciousness is constitutionally ignorant - it may be made to understand, but it goes on forgetting and feeling as if it had never known - till the Force and Light finally get hold of it and then it forgets no more. If there is faith, quietude, openness in the rest of the being, the material is bound to open also. "
Infernal elements, demon powers are there.
Man's lower nature hides these awful guests.
