The power
of thought on the body is tremendous! You cannot imagine how tremendous it is.
Even a subconscious or sometimes unconscious thought acts and provokes
fantastic results! ... I've studied this. I've been studying it in detail for
the last two years - it's incredible! If I had the time one day to explain all
this, it would be interesting.
Even tiny,
the tiniest mental or vital reactions - so tiny that to our ordinary
consciousness they don't appear to have the least importance - act upon the
body's cells and can create disorders ... You see, when you observe carefully,
you suddenly become aware of a very slight uneasiness, a mere nothing (when
you're busy, you don't even notice it), and then if you follow this uneasiness
to see what it is, you perceive that it comes from something quite
imperceptible and 'insignificant' to our active consciousness - but it's enough
to create an uneasy feeling in the body.
Which is
why - unless you are intentionally and constantly in what here is called the
Brahmic consciousness - it is practically impossible to control. And this is
what gives the impression of certain things happening in the body independently
of ... not only of our will but of our consciousness - But it is not true
Only, there
is all that comes from outside - that's what is most dangerous. Constantly,
constantly - when you eat, you catch it ... oh, what a mass of vibrations! The
vibrations of the thing you eat when it was living (they always remain), the
vibrations of the person who cooked it, vibrations of ... All the time, all the
time, they never stop - you breathe, they enter. Of course, when you start
talking to someone or mixing with people, then you become a bit more conscious
of what is coming, but even just sitting still, uninvolved with others - it
comes! There is an almost total interdependence - isolation is an illusion. By
reinforcing your own atmosphere (Mother gestures, as if building a wall around
her), you can hold these things off to a certain extent, but simply this effort
to keep them at a distance creates (I'm thinking in English and speaking in
French) ... disturbances.' Anyway, now all this has been seen.
