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?
Your P.L. is coming back!
What an avalanche of telegrams! And it's not over: here's one more [Satprem reads Mother a telegram in which P. L. announces a mysterious "new fact" and implores to be allowed to stay with his friend J. for "grave reasons"].
Then let him stay with her!
He suddenly got scared stiff over there. It's true that their occult power is very great and one has to be very strong to resist it. And he got scared stiff. That's what made him sick.
My own feeling is that the other fellow, this Monsignor R., wanted to get rid of him.... Seriously, I think he smelled something fishy and said, "He'd better leave."
He doesn't have the strength, obviously.
No, he doesn't.
But you know, he's really a victim: when he was seven, his mother sent him to a friars' convert in Spain... till the age of eighteen!
Poor man!
In Spain! You know, that inexorable Christianity... From seven to eighteen—it's dreadful!
No, he's a very nice man, but vitally not strong enough. But if he lived in a convent for so many years, then I understand....
(Mother remains concentrated for a long time)
I don't think it's the end of this affair.
(long silence)
J. is troubled because he demands a lot of attention.

Who had thought of him for the post of cardinal?
I don't know, but it was expected.
It was expected.... It must have been a political affair, because... In fact, I think it's generally a political affair.
Oh, yes, it's nothing but politics.
...Because he's much too passionate for the job.
Was it to be for now or later?
I don't know.
I am asking you because that may be the "new fact" he's referring to. Maybe a decision has been made.... As for me, I had a strong impression that the other fellow [Msgr. R.] wanted to get rid of him for some reason or other.
We'll see.
(Then Mother goes into a long contemplation which will last till the end.)
I keep having an impression of something IMPORTANT that has begun.... But it will go on for a very long time, probably. It will take a very long time.
