Mother has found the 'new consciousness': 'these cells, other cells, it was life and consciousness everywhere, all bodies were this body!' SALVATION is PHYSICAL.
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?
Have you received any news of P.L.?
Yes. You know that he was supposed to arrive today. Then he sends this wire: "Impossible to leave. Letter follows. Situation difficult."
Oho!... I hope they haven't put him in jail.
They can't. But they can put him on trial for heresy.

Yes.... "On trial for heresy"!...
(long silence)
Was it you who told me that the Pope had invited a sadhu from India?
Yes.
But the Pope too is on trial for heresy! Since he told the sadhu that true spirituality is now found in India—so he too is a heretic!
But the Pope is isolated. He told that sadhu that his task is very difficult in view of the people around him. He is isolated in there. He is surrounded by a mafia of cardinals who are attached to power.
What I mean is that the Pope and P.L. are guilty of the same heresy! So if they put P.L. on trial, it's like putting the Pope on trial—will they dare to do it?
But no one knows that the Pope and PL. have some relationship. P.L. has never been able to meet the Pope personally.
He has never been able...
No, never, he has always been prevented. It's a... rigorous mafia.
(Mother goes into a trance and keeps working inwardly till the end)
Should I wire or write something to P.L.?
I don't know.
(silence)
If they're watching him, they will get hold of his mail. That could put him in trouble.
If they do something against him, they have innumerable ways of getting hold of his mail. We shouldn't make problems for him.
It's better to wait for his letter.
