… You must get better, mon petit.

All I can say is that there is a fierceness in the resistance to the descent of the Truth. This descent is totally concrete and evident, of course, and everything averse to it is resisting with terrible fierceness – it can’t last. But we must bear up, that’s the difficulty.

For me, there is a struggle every minute with all that is most negative in life, in the terrestrial consciousness, with what REFUSES to admit the possibility of divinity. In other words, the materialistic concept in its most stubbornly dark aspect.

However … in the consciousness up above, even in the mental consciousness, there are no consequences (I mean that the fierceness of the struggle doesn’t change anything, the phenomenon is simply witnessed), but it’s this poor body that receives the blows.

The main thing is for it to last.

And for that, we must do just what we are obliged to do to keep our balance: total inertia wouldn’t help, but an effort of action is bad. So don’t worry too much, and above all don’t see people.
