00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,400
We train the physical body with
intense repetition to create
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,280
what is called muscle memory.
This allows the body to respond
3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,040
instantly without thought when
certain circumstances occur.
4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,600
Not all circumstances require
the instantaneous response of
5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,160
the body, or even if they do,
the body may not have the needed
6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,280
training and experience to deal
with that circumstance.
7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,920
There is another power that has
the power of instantaneous
8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,840
response at as as it is directly
connected to pure consciousness
9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,920
which moves at or faster than
the speed of light.
10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,560
That is the power of the psychic
being or soul within one.
11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,720
When it has come forward and is
in a constant presence guiding
12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,320
the life, it maintains the
direct and instant connection
13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,480
with the Universal Consciousness
and thus has and can utilize
14
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,040
this power of instant response.
When unforeseen circumstances or
15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,000
events arise, the Mother reminds
us that there is no time to call
16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,960
forth this aid.
Everything must be ready,
17
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:19,120
responsive and in place at the
time of the event, accident or
18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,320
circumstance occurs.
Thus, the greatest protection
19
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,120
one has in going through life is
the active presence of the
20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,040
psychic being that is connected
directly to the divine
21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,000
consciousness.
The Mother observes Quote.
22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,760
There's a moment for choice even
in an accident.
23
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,240
For instance, 1 slips and falls.
Just between the moment one has
24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,520
slipped and the moment one
falls, there is a fraction of a
25
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,800
second.
At that moment one has the
26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,680
choice.
It may be nothing much, it may
27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,760
be very serious.
Only the consciousness must
28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,080
naturally be wide awake, and one
must be in contact with one's
29
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,880
psychic being constantly.
There is no time to make the
30
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,320
contact.
One must be in contact between
31
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,080
the moment 1 slips and the
moment 1 is on the ground.
32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,640
If the mental and psychic
formation is sufficiently
33
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,360
strong, then there is nothing.
Nothing will happen.
34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Nothing happens.
But if at that moment the mind
35
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,040
according to its habit becomes a
pessimist and tells itself, oh,
36
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640
I have slipped, That lasts the
fraction of a second.
37
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,920
That doesn't even take a minute.
It is a fraction of a second.
38
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,880
During a fraction of a second,
one has the choice.
39
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,800
But one must be so awake every
minute of one's life.
40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,880
For a fraction of a second, one
has the choice.
41
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200
There is a fraction of a second
in which one can prevent the
42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,960
accident from being serious, can
prevent the illness from
43
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,440
entering in.
One always has the choice, but
44
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,440
it is for a fraction of a second
and one must not miss it.
45
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,720
If one misses it, it is
finished.
46
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040
End Quote.
