The Essential Agenda

1 September 1971






The body is being taught to exist by the Divine alone, to count on the Divine for everything — absolutely, absolutely everything without exception. There is even a pressure for … It’s only when the consciousness is linked to its utmost to the Divine Consciousness that there’s the sense of existence. It has become extraordinarily intense.










When the physical gets converted, it will be something SOLID, unalterable — and complete. And so concrete. The difference between being in the Divine, existing only by Him and for Him, and then being in the … not in the ordinary consciousness obviously, but just the human consciousness, is so great that the one seems like death compared to the other, it’s so. I mean the physical realization is really a concrete realization.










There is beginning to be such a concentration of energy (oh! it’s not there yet, very far from it), there’s a beginning of perception of how things will be. It’s … it’s really marvellous. And so powerful! A power and a reality in the consciousness that nothing, absolutely nothing else can have — everything vital or mental and all that seems hazy and unsubstantial. Whereas this is concrete. And so strong!










Some problems are still to be solved. And things come to demonstrate — not just personal things; people, things, circumstances, all that comes for teaching, teaching the body to have the true consciousness. It’s … it’s marvellous.










It seems that the problem was to create a physical being capable of bearing the Power that wants to manifest. And so the body is being accustomed to it. It’s as if it suddenly caught a glimpse of such a marvellous horizon ahead, overwhelmingly marvellous! Then, it is allowed to take only as much of it as it can bear. Some adaptation is required.

    This is something absolutely marvellous, for the first time in the spiritual history. It marks the beginning of a new process, the adventure of consciousness entering into the dense physical.

    If it happens, it would be, indeed, marvellous for us mortal embodied beings on earth in our life history.. The sooner the better.

      “If you desire this transformation, put yourself in the hands of the Mother and her Powers without cavil or resistance and let her do unhindered her work within you. Three things you must have, consciousness, plasticity, unreserved surrender. For you must be conscious in your mind and soul and heart and life and the very cells of your body, aware of the Mother and her Powers and their working; for although she can and does work in you even in your obscurity and your unconscious parts and movements, it is not the same thing as when you are in an awakened and living communion with her. All your nature must be plastic to her touch,―not questioning as the self-sufficient ignorant mind questions and doubts and disputes and is the enemy of its enlightenment and change; not insisting on its own movements as the vital in man insists and persistently opposes its refractory desires and ill-will to every divine influence; not obstructing and entrenched in incapacity, inertia and tamas as man’s physical consciousness obstructs and clinging to its pleasure in smallness and darkness cries out against each touch that disturbs its soulless routine or its dull sloth or its torpid slumber. The unreserved surrender of your inner and outer being will bring this plasticity into all the parts of your nature; consciousness will awaken everywhere in you by constant openness to the Wisdom and Light, the Force, the Harmony and Beauty, the Perfection that come flowing down from above. Even the body will awake and unite at last its consciousness subliminal no longer to the supramental superconscious Force, feel all her powers permeating from above and below and around it and thrill to a supreme Love and Ananda.”

    Dear Sir 🙏 I follow Your Winds series with great interest, spiritual perspective rather. Everything is centered around the Mother, Her work in body consciousness in 1878-1973, Her active continuation today everywhere, on every level. Participation is the best eye opener, to be with Mother while She transforms us and the world constantly each minute. Divine Grace alone can do this work… This is the secret work, no intermediary. Agenda in this sense continues everywhere and all time. To collaborate with Joy and understanding is really Divine Grace. Thank You for Your contribution, so important. Peace and Silence protect this mysterious birth of the now world. Grace Divine be with You always 🙏 Justyn
