ABOUT

Mother has found the 'new consciousness': 'these cells, other cells, it was life and consciousness everywhere, all bodies were this body!' SALVATION is PHYSICAL.

Mother’s Agenda 1969

The Mother

Now Mother has found the "passage", what she calls "the new consciousness," the one capable of opening up a new world to us, just as the first breaking of the watery mirror by an amphibian opened up a new air to us: "I don't know what is happening, there's a state of intense vibration, like waves of lightning rapidity, so rapid that they see motionless. And then I go off to America, to Europe.... This body has never been so happy: these cells, other cells, it was life everywhere, consciousness everywhere, all bodies were this body!...." And all our physiological misery vanishes by the same token: "There is a sort of dilation of the cells, the sense of boundaries lessons, fades away, and the pains vanish physically." And it isn't "another world," it is this earth, our earth but lived otherwise: "As if we had entered an unreal falsehood, and everything disappears once you get out of it - it simply does not exist! And all the artificial means of getting out of it, including Nirvana, are worthless. SALVATION IS PHYSICAL! It is here, right here. All the rest, death included, really becomes a falsehood - there is no such thing as "disappearing", no "life vs death"!...." And as she breaks through the walls of our bowl, the whole world is in revolt - including Mother's entourage - as if it were under the pressure of a new air: "A considerable number of desires for it to die [Mother's body]; everywhere, they are everywhere!.... The whole gamut of feelings around me, from anxiety, eagerness for it to be over quickly, to impatient desires: free at last!.... I don't want to be put in a box, the cells are conscious.... What is going to happen? I don't know. It runs contrary to all habits." A new species is quite contrary to the old habits of the world - will the world accept it, or wind up killing it off?

December 17, 1969

I've had a revelation.

Ah!

It was very interesting. That is, I was completely silent, and all of a sudden, it came, and as always it kept insisting until I noted it down.

It came in the wake of a question: "What is death?..." But then, the answer wasn't at all on the ordinary plane, which means that the mind was perfectly silent.

It came like this, imperative (Mother laughs):

Death is the decentralization of the consciousness contained in the body's cells.

Page 475

With a whole world of perceptions at the same time (Mother makes a gesture around her), like a general terrestrial consciousness, with examples showing that it's only when the consciousness contained in the cells is decentralized that one is dead. Otherwise, nothing, not even the heart stopping, can cause death.

Naturally, this decentralization stems from innumerable causes, but they are causes we might call psychological. And the cells contained in the body, or composing the body, are held in form by a centralization of the consciousness in them, and as long as that power of concentration is there, the body cannot die. It's only when the power of concentration disappears that the cells scatter. And then one dies. Then the body dies.

The sequel was like this....

(Mother takes another note)

The habitual concentration of Nature (produced by Nature) is a MECHANICAL concentration which is subject to all sorts of mechanical laws too, but... (Mother reads out her note) Here is what came:

The very first step towards immortality is to replace the mechanical centralization by a willed centralization.

...which comes from the inner Presence, which means that through its will, the divine Presence concentrates the cells.

There.

In English, I put it like this:

Death is the consequence of the decentralisation of the Consciousness contained in the cells composing the body.

And then:

This centralisation produced by Nature is mechanical and it must be replaced by a willed centralisation.


Then... (Mother takes other notes) I am continuing the answers to the Aphorisms, and yesterday... (those Aphorisms of Sri Aurobindo

Page 476

are extremely interesting, I had forgotten), yesterday T. asked me a question (because in those Aphorisms, Sri Aurobindo speaks of courage and love, meanness and selfishness, nobleness and generosity1), so she asked me, "Could you give me the definition of these words?" At first, I thought it wouldn't come, but all of a sudden it came. So I noted it down, it's interesting.

(Mother reads)

COURAGE is the total absence of fear in all its forms.

It shouldn't be understood mentally, it should be understood like this (gesture above the head), because the words have a very vast meaning, as vast as possible, very universal.

LOVE is self-giving without asking for anything in exchange.

I repeat, it's not at all on this plane (gesture below), because it was... the exact definition of divine Love as it acts.

Then the two dark things:

MEANNESS is a weakness that calculates and... (laughing) demands from others the virtues one does not have.

SELFISHNESS is to put oneself at the center of the universe and to want everything to exist for one's own satisfaction.

NOBLENESS is to refuse to make any personal calculation.

GENEROSITY is to find one's own satisfaction in the satisfaction of others.

Page 477

Those things come in an imperative way—I don't try, I don't call. Even, after I read the questions, I said to myself, "Oh, I'm not going to answer this"—and poff!


(Then Mother listens to a few texts from Sri Aurobindo, in particular this one:)

"Certainly, when the Supramental does touch earth with a sufficient force to dig itself in into the earth consciousness, there will be no more chance of any success or survival for the Asuric Maya."

(On Himself, 26.472)
October 18, 1934

It's interesting because the Asura is now thrashing about just like someone who expects to disappear. That's interesting ....
