00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,000
Our ability to perceive is
limited by the scale within
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,800
which we are able to perceive as
well as the operation of the
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,200
all-or-nothing phenomenon.
Thus events are occurring
4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,700
activities are underway at
wavelength below.
5
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:25,100
Those, we can perceive and above
those, we can perceive at some
6
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:29,800
point the impact of those events
that occur outside our frame.
7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,300
May have consequences within our
frame, but until that occurs, we
8
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:39,600
remain blissfully ignorant of
the changes that are in
9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,300
preparation.
Similarly, our sense organs have
10
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:49,100
a threshold of perception, the
eyes will perceive only Darkness
11
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:53,100
until a sufficient.
Number of photons are firing to
12
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,100
exceed.
The minimum Threshold at which
13
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:02,300
point we suddenly perceive the
existence of light, scientific
14
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:06,800
instruments can measure the
existence of photons firing even
15
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,600
when we cannot perceive them.
Thus helping us understand this
16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,900
principle.
This principle operates with
17
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:18,100
respect to spiritual
experiences, which elude us
18
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:24,300
until such time, as they are
ready to manifest and can exceed
19
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,800
the minimum limits of
perception.
20
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,900
We also tend to live in a
three-dimensional world and do
21
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:36,300
not perceive the process of
change as our existence passes
22
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:40,200
from past into the present and
then moves into the future.
23
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:45,800
When we begin to see the process
of time, what scientists call
24
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,800
the fourth dimension, the entire
picture changes as we are no
25
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,600
longer limited to the snapshot
that stands right before us but
26
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,600
can see the movement of time.
I'm itself and the changes that
27
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
occur.
Intellectually.
28
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,400
We can appreciate the changes of
the seasons.
29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,100
The changes within a single day,
the aging process.
30
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,500
But nevertheless, we remain
fixated on a very limited
31
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:20,100
present set of circumstances.
We cannot actually utilize this
32
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,900
intellectual knowledge for our
experience of life until such
33
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:29,500
time as the standpoint can shift
to the Divine standpoint.
34
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:34,600
And the three times are
incorporated as an integral part
35
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,900
of our experience, beyond the
fourth dimension.
36
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:40,900
There are also further
Dimensions.
37
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,200
Scientists are now for instance,
beginning to discover Quantum
38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,700
phenomena that seem to not be
subject to the universal laws
39
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:54,400
and limitations that we have
created as a rule book for our
40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,700
universe.
They are now beginning therefore
41
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:01,700
to entertain the concept that a
Fifth Dimension, that of
42
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:07,000
Consciousness is operative and
thus, our understanding of
43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,500
existence now can move in five
Dimensions.
44
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,700
This is not to say that this is
the limit of the number of
45
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:18,700
possible Dimensions, but
certainly for Humanity, which
46
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:21,600
lives primarily in a
three-dimensional world.
47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400
This represents a major
breakthrough.
48
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:29,600
Or as the mother indicates a
reversal of consciousness.
49
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,800
The mother notes quote, this
change of Consciousness and its
50
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,300
preparation' have often been
compared with the formation of
51
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,500
the chicken in the egg.
Till the very last second the
52
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,900
egg Remains the Same.
There is no change and it is
53
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,700
only.
When the chicken is completely
54
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:55,500
formed, absolutely alive.
That it itself makes with a
55
00:03:55,500 --> 00:04:00,800
little beak, a hole in the shell
and comes out something similar
56
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,600
takes Place at the moment of the
change of Consciousness, for a
57
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200
long time, you have the
impression that nothing is
58
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600
happening, that your
Consciousness is the same as
59
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,700
usual.
And if you have an intense
60
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:19,600
aspiration, you even feel a
resistance as though, you were
61
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
knocking against a wall, which
does not yield.
62
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:28,200
But when you are ready within a
last effort, the pecking and the
63
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,500
shell of the being and
everything opens and you are
64
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:35,000
projected into another
Consciousness.
65
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,300
I said that it was a revolution
of the basic equilibrium.
66
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:45,000
That is a total reversal of
Consciousness comparable with
67
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
what happens to light when it
passes through a prism or it is
68
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,900
as though you were turning a
ball inside out.
69
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,500
Out which cannot be done.
Except in the fourth dimension,
70
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,800
one comes out of the ordinary
three dimensional Consciousness
71
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,200
to enter the higher four,
dimensional Consciousness, and
72
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,100
into an infinite number of
Dimensions.
73
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,800
This is the indispensable
starting point, unless your
74
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Consciousness changes its
Dimension, it will remain.
75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,600
Just what it is with the
superficial vision of things.
76
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:28,200

escape you in quote reference
