It isn&#8217;t expressed mentally, it is neither an idea nor even a sensation, it&#8217;s &#8230; I don&#8217;t know what it is. It is like a negation, a painful negation. Which really makes me feel an acute pain, and I am pulled back into this physical consciousness.<br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>(Mother plunges in, then seems uncomfortable.<\/i><br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>Champaklal comes and rings the bell)<\/i><br \/>\n<P align=\"center\">&nbsp;<P align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 375<\/font><\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\" style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 10, 1973 What do we do about the Bulletin, Mother &#8230; the &quot;Notes on &nbsp;the Way&quot;?
