Vertical time' - a sort of absoluteness in each second. As if Mother were experiencing her body at the level of subatomic physics. A new mode of life in matter.
The course of 1961, the year of the first American voyage in space, arrives at the heart of the great mystery– "It is double! It is the same world and yet it is.... what?" In one world, everything is harmonious, without the least possibility of illness, accident or death – "a miraculous harmony" – and in the other, everything goes wrong. Yet it is the same world of matter - separated by what? "More and more, I feel it’s a question of the vibration in matter." And then, what is this "vertical time" which suddenly opens up another way of living and being in the matter, in which causality ceases to exist – "A sort of absoluteness in each second"? A new world each second, ageless, leaving no trace or imprint. And this "massive immobility" in a lightning-fast movement, this "twinkling of vibrations," as if Mother were no longer experiencing her body at the macroscopic level, but at the level of subatomic physics. And sixty years of "spiritual life" crumble like a "far more serious illusion" before.... a new Divine... or a new mode of life in matter? The next mode? "I am in the midst of hewing a path through a virgin forest." Volume II records the opening up of this path.
Alles kann durch das Göttliche getan werden - das Herz und die Natur geklärt, das innere Bewußtsein erweckt, die Schleier entfernt werden -, wenn man sich mit Vertrauen und Zuversicht dem Göttlichen gibt, und selbst wenn man es nicht sofort gänzlich tun kann, so wird doch im Maße, daß man es tut, die innere Hilfe und Weisung kommen und die Erfahrung des Göttlichen im Innern wachsen. Wenn der fragende Verstand weniger aktiv wird und die Demut und der Wille zur Hingabe wachsen, sollte dies durchaus möglich sein. Keine andere Stärke oder Tapasya ist dann erforderlich, nur dies alleine.
