0:00 While the manifestation of the Super mental force is inevitable as part of the evolution of consciousness that is taking place on Earth, there has always been the question of timing. That is when it would actually become manifest and take an active, visible role in the process of life, as opposed to its secret, involved presence and influence from behind the veil. In 1956, the mother had an experience that made it clear to her that the time had come and that the Super mental was overtly active. In order to experience or sense anything, there must be a capacity in the census to capture the specific vibrational pattern and intensity, and a capacity in the interpreting being to translate the captured pattern into a form of knowledge. We know that human vision and hearing are both limited within certain frequency ranges.

1:03 While we have other senses that may be able to experience non visible and non audible vibrations, they may also not be attuned to the vibrational pattern expressed by the Super mental force, and thus they would remain blind or unconscious to that action even if it were occurring all around them. There are many invisible forces in the world that we identify primarily by their effects. Some of them can now be tracked and measured with the development of instruments that extend our range of perception. Some, such as forces of consciousness, can mainly be experienced through the impact on life in the world.

1:50 Sensitive individuals can experience these forces more concretely than those who are not awake or receptive to these vibrational patterns outside the normal range of the external senses. We see that visionaries, seers, shaman, and many artists and poets seem to have the ability to experience and report back on other planes of consciousness and their action. Nikola Tesla reported that he saw patterns rather than thought through details underpinning his numerous breakthrough inventions. When we look at the work of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, we can see an insight into other worlds and forces making themselves known through him.

2:41 CG Jung experienced other realms and energies which he attempted to transcribe through his daily diary and drawings. He indicated that many people have such experiences but do not know how to interpret them or understand where from they arise. With this context, we can appreciate the declaration of the Mother from 1956. She had a very powerful experience and recognized that it was the sign of the descent of the Super mental force into the Earth consciousness to liberate and develop the next phase of conscious evolution for the planet, the Mother writes.

3:25 Quote 24th April 1956. The manifestation of the Super mental upon Earth is no more a promise, but a living fact, a reality. It is at work here and one day will come when the most blind, the most unconscious, even the most unwilling shall be obliged to recognize it.
