June 16, 1971

(Satprem suggest several extracts from the Agenda for "Notes

 on the Way," the first being that of May 22 on the intervention

Page 165


 of the Supreme Wisdom: "The possibility of a breathtaking

 success — not in the sky: here.")

That’s quite good. It brings back the atmosphere…. Is it too soon to say it? I don’t know.

Yes, perhaps, I had a little the same feeling also.

Yes, it’s too soon. We should wait.

It’s for the August Bulletin.

Yes, but August is very soon…. I don’t know. We’ll see next month whether we send it out or not, or keep it. At any rate, we will use it one day. It seems … I seem to be going too fast.

Yes, it does seem far-off.

Perhaps I don’t have enough faith, that’s possible!

I remember now (reading it brought back the atmosphere), I remember the state I was in…. I was ahead.

(Then Satprem suggests some extracts from the conversation

 of June 9 on the "onslaught of Falsehood" and in particular

 the passage on the dissolution of the ego.)

It’s quite a current truth [the onslaught].

Oh, that [the dissolution of the ego] is perfect; that should be published, it’s my everyday experience, every minute, all the time…. That should be published now.

You know, it’s my experience every minute, for every single thing, constantly: for rest, for activity, for food, for everything, for action with people, for everything, everything; it’s a kind of … I could almost say a possession by the Divine. And my body senses that it exists only like this (fists clenched, clinging to the Divine): without That, there is nothing. Ah, the experience is constant and total!

(Mother goes within)

It’s interesting: EVERYTHING is useful — everything is useful,

 everything is necessary, in its place in time and space (it’s something that is neither time nor space: in the Manifestation, we could say), and it becomes falsehood when it tries to last after its time is over. So what is needed is to be able to be within the Movement — the Movement of eternal Unfolding — where things … become truer and truer. For in the total and eternal Movement, all things become truer and truer.

(Mother goes back within)

A marvel!…
