October 28, 1964

The nights are continuing to be extraordinary! Last night, it was fantastic, but … I send it back, because it keeps me too busy; one part of the consciousness is busy with it, that’s troublesome – I send it all back.

It’s as if a fantastic amount of things were made known to me: people whom I don’t know physically, things that I don’t know physically. And with the clear vision of the true Consciousness behind it all: the workings of the Consciousness. It’s interesting, but anyway … It would be wonderful for a writer, he would have books and books to write! I even hear sentences; when things are written, I see them written – it’s even more precise than in a film. And all the answers. And then the two consciousnesses side by side: the superficial consciousness, the way it works in people, and the true Consciousness that moves it all as it would puppets. It’s interesting, obviously.

And for a long while after I wake up in the morning, I only have to stop for a second, stay still for a second, and it comes back, as though a part of the consciousness still remained there – it comes back. And it goes on. Then after a while, I say, “That’s enough, I’ve got other things to do!”

And the earth’s political atmosphere? Russia? Do you see something?

No, nothing in particular … I rather had a very strong indication that it was a reaction in the wrong direction.

Did you see the photo of the man [Suslov] who is behind Khrushchev’s downfall? Oh!…

I would like to see his photo.

I’ve never seen a more terrible face.

I have a strong feeling that it is – yes – a diabolic reaction.

It seems they want to put Khrushchev on trial?…

They’re held back by all the other Communist parties, which greatly admired Khrushchev and are now protesting. So I think they can’t do as they would like to.
