10th September 1969: „I have nothing to say. My body is going through extraordinary experiences, but they can't be told.... It's as if it were shown how, in all sorts of circumstances—innumerable circumstances—how one goes towards death and how one goes towards life: with everything, everything, you understand, every part of the body, every organ, every activity, one after another—impossible to tell. One can't talk about it. It's interesting. But this body was built in a curious way, because every time it's in external contact with wickedness, that is, the will to hurt, the will to destroy, the will to cause harm, it doesn't understand, and that gives it ... you know, like a kind of child's sorrow: "How can that be?..." And I see that it's used for a certain work, but ... (silence) There is also a whole little teaching of every minute with regard to the different ways of receiving sensations (of the body, of course), like the teaching you are given when you do the yoga: the attitude with regard to all thoughts, reactions, feelings, all those things; you are taught to have the true attitude (all that is the past). Well, the body is given the same teaching in detail: the attitude to be taken with regard to every sensation: every sensation—every event, everything that happens, every contact. It's a painstaking work, in details. And it's accompanied by a general attitude; but the general attitude, the body has taken it, it's a settled thing—it's the working out, that is, |
the painstaking work of every minute.... It's not interesting. It's only the body that finds it interesting; even then, it's not fascinated—it's something painstaking, a painstaking work.” 18th March 1970: „I've had this experience for several months now (especially since the start of the year) that the "shift" of the consciousness—instead of the consciousness being in the ordinary state, if you shift it (I am referring to the body's consciousness), if it's directly tuned to the Divine, in a few sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes, but in a few minutes, the disease absolutely disappears. And if you just do this (Mother slightly tilts one finger to the left), if you go back even a little, it instantly comes back. But if you keep your consciousness at the right place, it's gone. That's an experiment I've made more than a hundred times, even with something like toothache (which is hard to cure), even sharp pains at one spot or another. That's the experiment made by the BODY. The body knows.” 22nd April 1970: „Nights are very peculiar. And precisely because all that isn't mentalized, it's hardly possible to describe or explain.... But this subtle physical very concretely has the sense or feeling or perception (I don't know) of the divine Presence—the divine Presence in all things, everywhere. So then, this body is . .. one might say, partly this way and partly that way (gesture of oscillation between two worlds)…” |
