Part Three (1958 - 73)

(Mother shows two notations of the same experience. The first, of April 24, is as follows:)

"Suffocated by the shallowness of the human nature we aspire to the knowledge that truly knows, the power that truly can, the love that truly loves."

The same experience came back to me later; it isn't another "version" or another way of saying it, it's the experience that suddenly came back so acutely, so intensely (Mother reads her note):

"Human beings are so powerless, so imperfect, so incomplete!

The "incomplete" was the strongest of the three—so incomplete!

"Only the all-powerful rule of Truth and Love upon earth can make life tolerable."

It's like a continuation—but it didn't come as a continuation: it's the experience that came back. As if something in the consciousness OF THE EARTH felt an urgent and irrevocable need for this change—for the change, for the new creation. As if the consciousness of the earth ... The aspiration grows so intense, you know, so acute, so constant, so concentrated—under pressure—that something has to burst....

It's the consciousness OF THE EARTH pushing away like that, absolutely disgusted with what is there, and feeling the need for ... for THE THING to come.
