00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,800
While the manifestation of the
Super mental force is inevitable

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,520
as part of the evolution of
consciousness that is taking

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,560
place on Earth, there has always
been the question of timing.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,160
That is when it would actually
become manifest and take an

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,800
active, visible role in the
process of life, as opposed to

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,720
its secret, involved presence
and influence from behind the

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,120
veil.
In 1956, the mother had an

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,760
experience that made it clear to
her that the time had come and

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,440
that the Super mental was
overtly active.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,560
In order to experience or sense
anything, there must be a

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,400
capacity in the census to
capture the specific vibrational

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,760
pattern and intensity, and a
capacity in the interpreting

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,760
being to translate the captured
pattern into a form of

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,240
knowledge.
We know that human vision and

15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,640
hearing are both limited within
certain frequency ranges.

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,640
While we have other senses that
may be able to experience non

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,000
visible and non audible
vibrations, they may also not be

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,560
attuned to the vibrational
pattern expressed by the Super

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,680
mental force, and thus they
would remain blind or

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,160
unconscious to that action even
if it were occurring all around

21
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,480
them.
There are many invisible forces

22
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,080
in the world that we identify
primarily by their effects.

23
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,760
Some of them can now be tracked
and measured with the

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,200
development of instruments that
extend our range of perception.

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Some, such as forces of
consciousness, can mainly be

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,080
experienced through the impact
on life in the world.

27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Sensitive individuals can
experience these forces more

28
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,160
concretely than those who are
not awake or receptive to these

29
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,360
vibrational patterns outside the
normal range of the external

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,680
senses.
We see that visionaries, seers,

31
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,040
shaman, and many artists and
poets seem to have the ability

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,160
to experience and report back on
other planes of consciousness

33
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,080
and their action.
Nikola Tesla reported that he

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,360
saw patterns rather than thought
through details underpinning his

35
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,440
numerous breakthrough
inventions.

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,400
When we look at the work of
artists such as Leonardo da

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Vinci, we can see an insight
into other worlds and forces

38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,080
making themselves known through
him.

39
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,760
CG Jung experienced other realms
and energies which he attempted

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,960
to transcribe through his daily
diary and drawings.

41
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,280
He indicated that many people
have such experiences but do not

42
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,120
know how to interpret them or
understand where from they

43
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,880
arise.
With this context, we can

44
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,720
appreciate the declaration of
the Mother from 1956.

45
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,000
She had a very powerful
experience and recognized that

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,920
it was the sign of the descent
of the Super mental force into

47
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,720
the Earth consciousness to
liberate and develop the next

48
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,680
phase of conscious evolution for
the planet, the Mother writes.

49
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,080
Quote 24th April 1956.
The manifestation of the Super

50
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,520
mental upon Earth is no more a
promise, but a living fact, a

51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,480
reality.
It is at work here and one day

52
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,720
will come when the most blind,
the most unconscious, even the

53
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,000
most unwilling shall be obliged
to recognize it.

54
