Regarding food<\/i>

… What’s necessary above all is to eat without hurrying: to eat very peacefully. That’s indispensable. But very peacefully, not just slowly: there must be inwardly a sort of very slow rhythm, as if one had all the time one needed, in total peace.
\n
This (gesture to the forehead) <\/i>must be calm, it must live in a sort of eternity. Then one digests well. If the thought is very active, it’s bad. There must be a kind of inner relaxation and the sense of a very regular, very vast rhythm.

There is such a curious thing: at times the atmosphere is grumpy, grouchy; all that comes, all that enters is like that; at other times it’s smiling, pleasant, benevolent, and then all that comes (exactly the same things as before), all that comes is received pleasantly, like that: “Oh, that’s good.”
\n
And I have noticed that it depends neither on circumstances nor on people nor on anything; it depends … (Mother sniffs the air) <\/i>as if something had been added or taken away in the atmosphere. Have you noticed?<\/p>\n
Yes, absolutely.<\/i><\/p>\n
So I am trying to find the key to that.<\/p>\n
It’s collective. It’s independent of beings.<\/i><\/p>\n
It’s independent of beings and it’s collective, and it acts on everyone and every circumstance. Where does it come from? That has to be seen. It must be found.<\/p>\n
It’s very strange. I’ve asked myself the same question because<\/i><\/p>\n
the
\n impression is that the same thing is happening at different <\/i><\/p>\n
points of the GLOBE.<\/i><\/p>\n
\n Page 39<\/font><\/p>\n Yes, yes, it’s terrestrial. It’s a terrestrial state. At times it goes on, at other times it changes very abruptly. Does it come from interplanetary currents? I don’t know. It has to be seen, to be studied. Astrologers say it’s the “opposition” between planets; at certain times planets are in opposition or conjunction and it results in certain currents. That’s how they explain the trend of events. So the secret would be to make this law obey the higher Influence, the higher harmonizing law. Then we would find the secret of many things.
