Starts the terrible years.The change is DONE: a new mode of being of the cellular consciousness has appeared on earth. The future awaits - will the 'old' yield?
The beginning of the terrible years.... There was the feeling that Mother had found the secret of the change, conquered all she could from her own body, and that she was now sitting there, surrounded by the pack, just putting up with each and every resistance of the old species. "The change is DONE. Everything is tooth and nail, ferociously after me, but it's over." A new mode of being of the cellular consciousness had appeared on earth, as one day, in inert matter, there appeared a new mode of being called life - but this time it is "overlife": "The impression there is a way of being of the cells that would be the beginning of a new body; only, when that comes, the body itself feels it is dying." What would be the feeling of the first corpuscle to experience life? "The body feels it has reached the point of.... unknown. A very, very strange sensation. A sort of new vibration. It's so new that.... I can't speak of anguish, but it's.... the unknown. A mystery of the unknown." And there, what we call death is like the other side of the bowl for the former fish, and yet it is not "another world": "They are surprisingly one within the other! There is something there.... Is it possible? For overlife is both life and death together." And then, this cry of the breakthrough: "What appears to us as 'the laws of nature' is nonsense!...." Another world ON EARTH in which the old mortal laws of our bowl break down.... into something else? "I have just had a fantastic vision of the cradle of a future.... which is not very far. It's like a formidable mass suspended above the earth." But will the old pack let her go through to the end?

(Mother opens her eyes wide and plunges in again till the end)
It's extraordinary! There is a sort of... a sort of EMOTION in it, which doesn't belong to this world. It puts you into contact with a certain... I don't know what to call it, but it's like an emotion1 which is beyond the mind—beyond everything, everything, not only the mind but the intellectual.
Its a new emotion. I can't describe. It's strange. And every time it does the same thing, every time I say to myself, "I'll be very careful to follow and see"—and... I try to keep my consciousness in its natural state, but then IN SPITE OF MYSELF, it's something that... It's like a magic, mon petit!
It's something like emotion, but an emotion that knows, an emotion that understands. It's not a thought. It's really interesting. And every time, it becomes increasingly conscious; every time, I say to myself, "This time, I won't let myself get caught!" (laughter) But this time, I was more conscious of what it was.... And it's a new thing which is beyond the mind, the intellectual and the whole comprehension, and it's a way of being that... (I don't know what to call it), it's something like an emotion, but very clear and VERY conscious.
And strong! It has an extraordinary force.
It's really interesting.
How many are left?
There are six left. This is the tenth.
Maybe at the end I will know!
And it has a strange power to transform things.... You understand, for me the Satprem of this book isn't the same Satprem as before. Everything takes on a... a new appearance, I don't know—a new contact.
It's interesting.
So I have another six times to go! I wait for it with... It's really like a new creation, like a new world brought into contact with here.
(silence)
And it's beyond persons. There is no ego.

Yes.
It's beyond persons.
There is something else—something else.
(Mother closes her eyes)
And it doesn't leave me, that atmosphere no longer leaves me. For all the things that come, the way of responding is no longer the same.2
