00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,280
Our normal human view of things
is limited by the restraining
2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,360
effect of our senses, as well as
our ability to consciously
3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,560
receive and interpret what we
perceive through the senses.
4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,440
We do not generally experience
the living, breathing life of
5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,120
plants and trees.
For instance.
6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,640
We do not ordinarily see the
vibration of the aura as it
7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,000
surrounds our bodies.
Occasionally we can see the
8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,960
vibrations of heat as it rises
off a hot surface.
9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,280
We do not either work to extend
our perceptions, nor even to
10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,520
extrapolate from what we can and
do experience that all existence
11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,280
is made-up of vibratory patterns
that touch each other, impact
12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080
each other, and blend and mix
with each other.
13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Many things that occur within
us, our body reactions, health
14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,239
issues, vital and emotional
responses, mental ideas and
15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:08,080
concepts would be understood
more clearly if we could
16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,480
actually see the vibrations that
surround and penetrate us and
17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,480
their interaction to bring about
the results that we actually
18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:23,080
experience, the mother observes.
Quote If you could see that kind
19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,600
of dance, the dance of
vibrations, which is there
20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,960
around you all the time, you
would see, you would understand
21
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:36,560
well what I mean.
For example, in a game when you
22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,680
play it is like this gesture and
then it is like the vibrations
23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560
of a point.
It goes on increasing,
24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,120
increasing and increasing until
suddenly crashed an accident and
25
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
it is a collective atmosphere
like that.
26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,320
We come and see it.
You were in the midst of a game,
27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080
basketball or football or any
other.
28
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,080
We feel it, see it.
It produces a kind of smoke
29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,800
around you, those vapors of
heat, which come at times
30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,800
something like that.
And then it takes on a vibration
31
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,320
like that, like that, more and
more.
32
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,800
More and more.
More and more, until suddenly
33
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,240
the equilibrium is broken.
Someone breaks, his leg falls
34
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,920
down, is hit on the mouth by a
ball, et cetera.
35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,160
And one can foretell beforehand
that this is going to happen
36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,520
when it is like that, but
nobody's aware of that yet.
37
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,920
Even in less serious cases, each
one of you individually has
38
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,080
around him something which
instead of being this very
39
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,280
individual and very calm
envelope which protects you from
40
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,080
all that you don't want to
receive, I mean, your
41
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,080
receptivity becomes deliberate
and conscious, otherwise you do
42
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,240
not receive and it is only when
you have this conscious,
43
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,960
extremely calm atmosphere.
And as I say, when it comes from
44
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,600
within, it is not something that
comes from outside.
45
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,360
It is only when it's like this
that you can go with impunity
46
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,600
into life that is among others
and in all the circumstances of
47
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,000
every minute.
Otherwise, if there's something
48
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,800
bad to be caught, for example
anger, fear and illness, some
49
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,960
uneasiness, you are sure to
catch it as soon as it starts
50
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,120
doing this gesture.
It is though you called all
51
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240
similar vibrations to come and
get hold of you.
52
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,920
What is to be wondered at is the
unconsciousness with which men
53
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,200
go through life.
They don't know how to live.
54
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,640
There's not one in a million who
know how to live and they live
55
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,120
like that somehow or other.
