The consciousness of the cells is being taught to break free of 'false matter' with resultant effect in every country and continent, and every branch of human knowledge.
A fire spread across the world that year, from Warsaw to Colombia, from Nanterre to Alexandria: "There are long periods when things are being prepared, and a moment comes when something happens; and this something is what will bring about a new development in the world. Like the moments when man appeared on earth; now it is another being." This is the second turning point of Mother's Yoga. She is 90. Auroville has just been founded: "A center for accelerated evolution." Martin Luther King is assassinated, and Robert Kennedy. Russia invades Czechoslovakia - what is going on? "I have the strong impression of an attempt to make us learn something like the secret of the functioning [of man, of the earth]. The method we have learned is constantly shown to be false, it doesn't conform to reality, and there is a will to make us find the true method, but through experience." As if the earth were shut in a bowl, prisoner of a "false matter": "There is a sort of web over the entire earth, and the body is being taught how to get out of it.... Little by little the consciousness of the cells is breaking that hold." And on the other side of the web all of a sudden: "Never in my whole life have I seen or felt anything so beautiful!.... The most marvellous hours ever possible on earth - why do people go looking up above for something which is right here!" The short-lived miracle of 1968 seems to be swallowed up, while the walls of our bowl are slowly but inexorably being shattered in every country, every continent and every branch of human knowledge. "A considerable amount of time would still seem necessary for everything to be ready to change. And yet, there is almost a promise that a sudden change is going to take place." Could it be that, one fine morning, one last pressure of circumstances will throw us headlong into a new consciousness?
On April 1st, the sports season opens, and I've given an... appropriate message.
I started with a paradox:
"The first condition for acquiring power is to be obedient. Page 88 "The body must learn to obey before it can manifest power; and physical education is the most thorough discipline for the body. "So be eager and sincere in your effort for physical education and you will acquire a powerful body."
"The first condition for acquiring power is to be obedient.

"The body must learn to obey before it can manifest power; and physical education is the most thorough discipline for the body. "So be eager and sincere in your effort for physical education and you will acquire a powerful body."
It's logical. That's all.
Soon afterwards
Everybody is quarreling.... Oh, quarrels about absolutely nothing—everybody gets angry, everybody quarrels. It's been like that for the past three days. Astrologers say it depends on the "position of the stars"—but I don't believe in that! I believe the position of the stars is merely... (how should I put it?) the celestial notation of terrestrial events (!) It's not that the stars condition [events]: they are the expression.
(Then Mother goes into a long contemplation which will last almost till the end. At one point, she opens her eyes and looks at Satprem as though something were taking place or she were about to say something....)
Nothing to ask?
I felt there was something.
What?
I don't know.
I was in fact going to ask you.... I had that same feeling—for you. Something new. No? Haven't you had a new experience?
I felt something.
Yes, but I felt it very strongly! I was about to ask you [when Mother opened her eyes], then instead of asking you I tried to see,

but I didn't see anything! (Mother laughs)
There is a very different quality of vibration, a sort of...
Is it twelve?... Are we alone?
Yes.
The feeling of a very peaceful conscious force, but very strong, which has established itself in you, which has come down—something new. Did you feel it?
It took a mental expression a few days ago.
Oh... (in a disappointed tone) What was it?
The impression that all realizations on the heights and all the horrible hells one may live—in the Fire, they are all ONE. In the Flame, they are ONE. Up above, it all gets dissolved; down below, it all gets dissolved; and in the Flame, it's ONE, there are no opposites anymore.
For me, it [what Mother felt in Satprem] was expressed through a sort of very strong, very luminous balance, and... oh, with an extraordinary peace.
You understand, something which has established itself (gesture of a solid square). I could express it with the word "realization."
Peaceful, strong, luminous—very solid.
We'll see.
