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?
I've been given a quotation from Sri Aurobindo.... I find it very interesting.
"What happens is for the 'best' in this sense only that the end will be a divine victory in spite of all difficulties—that has been and always will be my Page 285 seeing, my faith and my assurance—if you are willing to accept it from me." Sri Aurobindo December 28, 1931

seeing, my faith and my assurance—if you are willing to accept it from me."

I find it very interesting. Because when people are told, "It will be for the best," they always think it's the best as they imagine it!

And your book?1
It's not easy.... I am revising it.
Oh!
It's a terrible work to do.
No, if one takes that attitude, one is never done with it! It will never reach the end. One revises following a certain current, then when one has reached the end, one enters another current, and then... It's endless.
I knew a painter like that; he was a great painter: Gustave Moreau. But there are few paintings by him, because he was a man who kept doing his paintings over again. He would progress, his vision would progress, and his painting would always appear to him to be outside, unfinished—it couldn't be finished! So it's only when he died that they could get his paintings—there were many of them, and they were magnificent. Only, each of them was a movement towards something....
Have you seen his house? He left his house with all that was inside, they made it into a museum.

Silence, that's all I can offer you.
