“It is a new experience”
8 June 1963
It was like the action of a Force. Without any thought or idea, only the sensation and a sort of perception of a stupendous Force, like the Force of the earth — all the combinations of the forces along with an action that came from above and worked on them. It was going through me, but it was an incalculable MASS, almost … indefinite, and simultaneous. And it went on and on and on — three hours without letup.
It was a Force that came from beyond and acted upon all the forces of the earth… . And all the time, in the physical centre (the corporeal base), with something in an ecstatic state; it was very interesting — an ecstasy that sparkled like a diamond — was there, so sweet, so sweet, so peaceful, as though it were there all the while, telling the body, “Don’t be afraid, don’t worry, don’t be afraid, all is well.” It lasted more than three hours.
I wondered, “What will my condition be like when I get up?” — Very quiet… smiling and saying, “Oh, things CAN be that way.”
It’s the first time. I’ve had currents of force, I’ve had actions on the earth, I’ve had forces coming to me, all sorts of things … Something wanted me to be very quiet and not to worry.
It was certainly something happening FOR the earth; but it didn’t come from the centre of forces that generally acts on the earth. It was “something happening.” And it gave the sense that the earth was very small.
It is a new experience.
Obviously, there was … there must have been a cause for alarm, because immediately I was told, “You see, this is what is going on,” and it was thanks to that ecstasy in the body that there was no alarm: “Oh, things are fine, everything is fine.”
And when the experience was over, it didn’t end like an experience exhausting itself. All the same, when I woke up everything was fine.
When I had that experience of the pulsations of Love in April last year, I had the perception of the colour, the “psychological” perception of the state I was in (how can I explain?), for instance, the quality of the vibration of Love. At the time, I was That, I was those vibrations, but I was fully aware of the quality of those vibrations, and remained so for months — this is completely different! It was nothing but an action.
And an action in which the human body is much less than an ant: an imperceptible point. Yet there seemed to be ONLY this body! This body was a body … it was THE body! And that point — that comforting point of ecstasy — was very small. But it was there, quite insistent, very conscious, telling me, “Don’t interfere; leave it to me entirely, all is well — see, all is well.” Very small…. Yet it was my body.
Is it a new work on the earth, or is it that you have seen something that goes on habitually but of which you were unaware previously? I wondered… .
But the question isn’t put correctly. It is something eternal which, because of what happened at that time (not at that minute, because, it must have been going on long before and long afterwards) … it has become something new, BECAUSE of what happened. Coming back to all the things we know, we could say that it is something newly manifested.
But my impression was … an impression of Eternity. An Eternity BEYOND TIME (not something that lasts forever: something timeless), yes, the word would be: “manifesting,” “making itself perceptible,” or “becoming active” — Yes, acting, becoming perceptible because it acts.
That was my impression. I could also say: something universal which becomes individual; not individual in the sense of a small person, but conscious of itself.
It was … a Force in motion, “something” stupendous! It was Power in its most formidable aspect — crushing. With REAL All- Powerfulness; Power in its all-powerfulness, with that something unshakable, immutable, untouchable [that sparkled diamond-like]. Yes, really Power, that’s right.
And it was quite clear that a solicitude, the supreme Solicitude, took great care to reassure me: “All is well.” Without that, obviously, the feeling was that everything, everything was going to be dissolved.
Maybe it’s the supramental Power which has manifested. It was Power in action. I had the feeling it was a decisive turning point.
