The Mother

Agenda

Volume 12

August 7, 1971

(Mother's eye is swollen again.)

Didn't A. give you something?

No, Mother.

(Mother tries to remember)

My memory is completely gone. I have impressions, but no memory. Impressions that underlie everything – that's probably what will replace memory.

But I have a strong impression that A. had something to tell you....

(long silence)

I have a curious impression of a kind of web – a web with... like very loose threads, I mean not tightly meshed, connecting all events, and if you have power over one of these webs, there's a whole field of circumstances that apparently have nothing to do with each other but which are linked together there in such a way that one necessarily implies the existence of the other.... And I have the impression it's something that envelops the earth.

And it's not mental. They are circumstances that depend on one another, in a completely invisible way outwardly, without any mental logic, and yet as though connected to each other.

If you are conscious, really conscious of that, that's how you can change circumstances.

And you feel a power over one of those webs?

No, it's the other way around: it's because I was working on one of those webs that I noticed it.

Ohh!... I see.

(Mother goes within)

You have nothing to ask?

No, Mother.

(silence)

Are circumstances going to change?

(Mother immediately goes within and seems not to have heard. Later, several times she tries to speak but does not succeed in coming out of her state)

Hard to say.

(Mother goes within)

If you had the power to replace one of those webs with another one, you could change all circumstances that way.

(Mother shakes her head)

It's inexpressible.

What web are you working on at the moment?

But I don't know.... They're webs that are around the earth.

There's one... I see.... Why, every little circumstance of life is on it, and when I look like this (gesture looking from above), I see it extends over the whole country, and not just over the whole country but over the whole earth.

(silence)

Are there several of them?... I don't know.

Don't know.

(Satprem puts his forehead on Mother's knees
and gets ready to leave)

I try, you know, I try.... Things go through the consciousness, but my whole effort is to avoid adding anything personal to them, you follow – so that it can be like this (gesture of unobstructed flow through a channel).

I am conscious of the Action on small points, but now it is here, now there (scattered gesture throughout space); it's not... there's nothing continuous as in the mind.

Inexpressible.
