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?
What's new? Here there's nothing (Mother shakes her head). Nothing interesting.
It's all right (in an unconvinced tone).
(Then Satprem reads the "Comments on the Aphorisms" and "Mother Answers" for the next Bulletin.")
My impression now is that all this is written here (gesture just above the head) and that I have gone to my highest consciousness (gesture far above).... But that can't be expressed yet. It's not through words and ideas that it has to express itself. It's the means of expression that must be found.

Ultimately, the big difference with man is that he invented language—language, and naturally, writing and so on. Well, a means of expression superior to language and writing—that's what must be found.
A superior means, but a material one?
Yes, it has to be something material. Material, but... At any rate, maybe with the development of new organs? As man developed language. Something like that.
But when I write, I always feel there's a music behind.
Ah!
I feel there's always a music behind things. A music or a rhythm.
A rhythm, yes.
Perhaps it would be that?
(Mother approves keenly) Yes, yes.
(Mother goes into a long contemplation)
There's a GREAT Peace. Have you felt it?
Yes, Mother.
Great Peace.
(long silence)
For instance, I get the sense of a new way of counting time. I don't know how to put it. And then... (Mother shakes her head, finding it impossible to express herself).
