The 'yoga of the cell' leads to 'true matter' and eventually the victory over death. A collective transformation sufficient to create a new species on earth is needed.
This year, all the features of the yoga of the cells become clear: "A growing conviction that a perfection achieved in matter is a far more perfect perfection than any other. The consciousness expressed in transformed cells is a marvel: it legitimises all these ages of misery. Oh, what a fuss all those gods make." This year marks the discovery of "true matter".... without fuss: "In that cellular limpidity, there are no more problems: the solution precedes the problem. That is, things arrange themselves automatically." It's another mode of life on earth - "such a natural way of being" - in a body freed from its mental shackles and the laws of false matter: "The extraordinary impression of the unreality of suffering the unreality of illness.... It does not cure illness: it annuls it - it makes it unreal.... And then you see: as the functioning gradually grows perfect, it necessarily, inevitably means victory over death." And meanwhile, Surveyor is digging the ground of the moon with its mechanical arms, while our own secrets remain buried in a little cell: "We can travel anywhere, we know what's going on anywhere.... and we don't know what's going on inside ourselves." War is raging in Biafra, the Israeli troops are marching toward Suez, American planes are bombing Haiphong, China explodes its first thermonuclear bomb.... and so on. "A tremendous conflict over earth." At stake is a new earth, or a return to the old fiasco: "A local and momentary manifestation is not ruled out, but what is needed is a collective transformation sufficient to create a new species on earth.... This fact is certain." Will we understand where the real way out is, and the Marvel concealed in a human body?
(Regarding the conversation of March 7 on "death," in which Mother said in particular: "There really is no such thing as death.... There is no radical change in the vibration of consciousness.... You have a perception of the physical world which isn't absolutely identical, but with an effectiveness which is sometimes greater...." Mother had at first authorized the publication of this conversation in "Notes on the Way," then...)
I begin to think that it is not good to give this kind of "lived knowledge" to people who are not capable of having it, of experiencing it.
For instance, these last few days I have clearly seen that men do not know the reality—the concrete reality—of the invisible, because if they knew it they would go insane. They have such a fear of these things....
Even now, when they see in a vision someone they loved when he was alive, when they see him at night, they say, "Ohh, a ghost!" And they are horribly afraid!
So maybe this is going to terrify them.
It's not terrifying since, on the contrary, it gives them hope!
Yes, but one shouldn't try to make people reasonable when they aren't.

I don't know.... It may fall into the hands of someone to whom it will do much good, but is it worth running the risk of doing harm for the sake of one or two to whom it will do good? That has to be seen.
I for one, find it comforting that you state this continuity of consciousness. It can't do any harm, can it?
(Mother laughs and does not answer)
Soon afterwards
I was asked a question: "What is youth?" Here is what I replied (Mother holds out a note):
"To be young is to live in the future for the future. To be young is to be always ready to abandon what one is in order to become what one ought to be....
And above all, the most important:
"To be young is never to admit the irreparable."
Then Mother takes out another note she has just written to a disciple:
"One is always deeply disgusted at one's own faults when one encounters them in others"(!)
Yet another note:
"Europeans attach the greatest importance to the words uttered. "Indians are much more sensitive to the feeling, which more often than not those words veil." Page 84
"Europeans attach the greatest importance to the words uttered. "Indians are much more sensitive to the feeling, which more often than not those words veil."

It's about a remark by B. She said something to someone with very kind and extremely polite words, but in her heart she doesn't like the person she spoke to; and she was shocked because the other became indignant.... But I understood immediately. She was indignant, she said, "Why? I was very polite, so why?"
But they feel, deep down they sense the feeling with which you say the thing. That's what they feel and what they respond to.
A last note:
It's in reply to an Ashram "association." They asked:
"What is the need of the hour?"
"Do not try to deceive the Divine!"
(Mother laughs a lot)
