What are the interesting things?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P align=\"right\"><i>(after a long, smiling silence)<\/i><br \/>\n<P>I see certain things, certain events, certain patterns of wills &#8230; I see them coming like this <i>(gesture of a screen), I <\/i>see them very powerfully and distinctly. And at the same time the sense that: this is how it will be with the Supramental.<br \/>\n<P>But it&#8217;s difficult to describe.<br \/>\n<P>You can&#8217;t describe it &#8211; it&#8217;s a STATE of consciousness. It&#8217;s a state of consciousness, together with the knowledge that that state will be part of the Supramental.<br \/>\n<P>And all this happens within a VERY profound silence. So I can&#8217;t express it.<br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>(long silence<br \/>Mother touches her hands)<\/i><br \/>\n<P>It&#8217;s like vibrations coming out of my hands, like this <i>(gesture). <\/i>My hands seem so powerful! They feel they can change things just by doing this <i>(Mother makes a fist).<\/i><br \/>\n<P>But I would rather you asked me questions or told me something, because &#8230; otherwise I instantly enter that state which is so, so vast &#8230; peaceful &#8230; and so powerful &#8211; where things are accomplished.<br \/>\n<P>That&#8217;s how they are accomplished.<br \/>\n<P>But there are no words or explanations &#8211; nothing satisfying for the mind.<br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>(silence)<\/i><br \/>\n<P>You don&#8217;t have anything to say?<P align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 259<\/font><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i>I am still looking for the key to infusing that Power I feet,<br \/>\n  that <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Force, that Truth into everyday physical activity. I find it quite<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;difficult&#8230;. Yet when I stop all activity, the contact is<br \/>\n  instantly<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;made, and very powerful and REAL it is, but the minute I go<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;back to being active, everything recedes into the background &#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>Aah! &#8230;<br \/>\n<P>Personally I am not engaged in activity.<\/p>\n<p><i>Matter seems to feel it as something imposed, not coming from<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;within;<br \/>\n  it isn&#8217;t natural (in my case, at least).<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>But I now feel just the opposite! The body and matter (the part of matter under my control) seem to REFUSE to obey anything but That.<br \/>\n<P>Let me give you an example: I see almost &#8230; (it&#8217;s an &quot;almost&quot; which sometimes is beyond almost, you understand: the extreme limit of &quot;almost&quot;) almost as well with my eyes closed as with my eyes open. See, really SEE <i>(Mother touches her physical eyes). <\/i>When I have difficulty writing, for example, instead of peering and straining, I shut my eyes. And then &#8230; I see.<br \/>\n<P>And the same for everything, for all the senses. To swallow food, if I try to swallow in the usual way, I literally choke, but when I am in a certain state &#8230; I find I&#8217;ve swallowed everything, and I didn&#8217;t even notice it! And everything is like that.<br \/>\n<P>So &#8230; I seem completely impotent, yet I feel a tremendous power in me.<br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>(Mother plunges in for 40 minutes,<\/i><P align=\"right\"><i>&nbsp;then<br \/>\nopens her eyes<\/i><P align=\"right\"><i>&nbsp;and speaks in English)<\/i><br \/>\n<P>It can go on for hours&#8230;.<br \/>\n<P align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 260<\/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>August 5, 1972 People know I don&#8217;t eat anymore, so they&#8217;ve stopped sending anything.
