(Mother listens to the English translation of "Notes on the

 Way" for the coming Bulletin, then remarks at the end:)

It's absolutely as if I were wrapped in a layer of cotton wool! ... (Laughing) Maybe it's to give me some rest!

(To Nolini:) Isn't it a deadly bore? It's useless, no?

(Nolini, in English:) Oh, no! It's very nice. It's something more

 than words.

(Mother, in English:) No, truly, I am not fishing for compliments;

 I sincerely say that it's a bore, no? ...

(Nolini:) No!

They will say, "Mother is beginning to drivel."

(Nolini laughs and goes out)

What's new?

(Satprem remains silent,
contemplating Nolini's "very nice")

This Consciousness has a fantastic imagination! ... It makes me see all kinds of fantastic possibilities regarding what will happen in the future. Like, for instance, for a woman, instead of dying, to be born again in her own child .... Things would be different from what they are now, there would be a capacity to form the child, not with a "material complement," but with a spiritual complement ("spiritual" is a manner of speaking: the complement of an invisible force), and instead of dying and entering another body, one would oneself be able to form, with the most developed cells of one's body, the being in which one will live again .... Quite an idea, isn't it!

It came very early this morning (it's always at that time), and with all the details, and an extraordinary INTENSITY of life! ... You see, in the body certain cells are developing as much as they can, growing increasingly conscious, and instead of disintegrating

  when the whole becomes inadequate to express the fullness of life, it's INWARDLY that all those cells would gather to form a new body with a matter superior to ordinary matter.

It was so interesting that I looked at it for hours this morning, and in every detail.

But it's precisely the kind of thing that can't be said: it should be DONE. Saying them is absolutely useless! What's needed is to do them.

It came like that .... It comes like a shower! It's strange.

(silence)

Nothing to say? Do you have any news?

Wouldn't you rather have something else to say?

Nothing.

There's a line from my mother. [Satprem reads a letter relating

his mother's sudden cure after a cancer had been feared: "My

 condition suddenly became normal again, and I didn't doubt

Mother's intervention ...."]

It's good ....

(long silence)

This Consciousness seems to have brought along a whole new field of possible experiences in the very material field, while doing away with ... (what should I say?) a certain number of things that men have declared to be impossible; it seems to have done away with that impossibility, saying, "This and that and that CAN be done." So the horizon has extraordinarily widened.

But that should be lived concretely.
