Changes

The cells have an inner composition or structure which corresponds to the structure of the universe. So the link is established between identical external and internal states.... It is not "external", but it is external for the individual. That is, the cell, in its internal composition, receives the vibration of the corresponding state in the composition of the whole. Each cell is composed of different radiances, with a wholly luminous centre, and the connection is established between light and light. That is, the will, the central light, acts on the cell by touching the corresponding lights, by an inner contact of the being. Each cell is a world in miniature corresponding to the whole [6]. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mothers-action-in-a-class-of-children-aged-sixteen-to-eighteen#p44</ref><center>~</center>But the cells are………. are an already very developed thing, in the sense that they are a form of LIFE in Matter; they are a form of life, they're they’re not purely material, inert Matter....[118] ==Cellular Organization and Community== Each cellular nucleus holds in its chromosomes the plan of the entire organism.... The chromosomal apparatus of any one cell represents both the 'totality' of the individual and the 'local' organ it belongs to. This organization could best be compared to that of an ideal human community in which each member would be conscious of the whole community and at the same time of his own intelligent personal function within the community [95]. ==Cell and Universe== The cells have an internal constitution or structure that corresponds to the structure of the universe. So the connection is madeMatter….<ref>https://incarnateword.. (one is stopped short by the stupidity of words: it's not "external," but it's external for the individual), it's made between identical external and internal states, that is to say, the cell, in its internal constitution, receives the vibration of the corresponding state in the total constitution [96]./agenda/05/august-26-1964#p64</ref>

It had internal constitutions of varying radiances ("Mother draws points or various concentrations within the cell"), and the centre was wholly luminous. And there was a big hand, almost a paw, you know, a big hand holding this cell very carefully: he took great care to touch it as lightly as possible ("Mother draws two big fingers holding the cell"). It was luminous, held up with two fingers, like this.... I don't know what the scientific shape of cells is, but it was like this. And he showed me the various radiances. The periphery was the most opaque; the deeper inside, the more luminous it became; and the center was wholly luminous, it was bright, that is, radiating. Then there were different colors—not very intense, but different colors. The hand was magnified perhaps twice, because it was this big (about ten inches), while the object was this big (about three inches), and it was a cell [97].<ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/09/july-10-1968#p28</ref><center>~</center>But as soon as you descend into that realm, the realm of the cells and even of the cells' constitution, how much less heavy it seems! That sort of heaviness of Matter disappears: it becomes fluid and vibrant again. Which would tend to show that the heaviness, the thickness, the inertia, the immobility, is something that has been ADDED ON, it's not an essential quality of Matter—it's false Matter, Matter as we think or feel it, but not Matter itself as it is [104]. ...each cell has its own consciousness and you have a consciousness which is the consciousness of your total individuality, though made up of all these small cellular consciousnesses [55]. It is something I have felt very, very clearly and which one cannot feel so long as the physical ego is there, because the physical ego has the sense of its own importance and that disappears entirely with the physical ego. And when it disappears one has the precise perception that the intervention or the manifestation of the true vibration does not depend on egos or individualities—human or national individualities or even those of Nature<ref>http: animals, plants, etc//incarnateword. It depends on a certain play of the cells and Matter in which some agglomerates are particularly favourable to the transformation—not "transformation", but substitution, to be precise: the substitution of the vibration of Truth for the vibration of Falsehood [48].In the body there are invaluable and unknown treasures. In all its cells, there is an intensity of life, of aspiration, of the will to progress, which one does not usually even realise. The body/agenda/05/october-consciousness would have to be completely warped by the action of the mind and vital for it not to have an immediate will to re7-establish the equilibrium. 1964#p37</ref><center>~</center>When this will is not there, it means that the entire body-consciousness has been spoilt by concentration which forms the intervention of the mind and vital. In people who cherish their malady more or less subconsciously with a sort of morbidity under the pretext that it makes them interesting, it is not their body at all—poor body!—it is something they have imposed upon it with a mental or vital perversion. The body, if left comes to itself, is remarkable, for, not only does it aspire for equilibrium an end and well-being but it is capable of restoring the balance. If one leaves one's body alone without intervening with all those thoughts, all the vital reactions, all the depressionsdissolves, and also all the so-called knowledge and mental constructions and fears—if one leaves the body to itself, spontaneously it will do what is necessary to set itself right again [52]. The true breathing is not merely the inspiration and expiration from the lungs which is merely the mechanism of it, but a drawing in of the universal energy of Prana into every cell of the body [72]. experience [a painful attack]; it recurred in another form (it never recurs in the same form), in another form, and then the cells noticed that that sort of intensity, of ardor of will taking hold of them, that something concrete in the self-giving, in the surrender, does not exist when everything is fine (what people are in the habit of calling "everything is fine," which means that you don't feel your body, there is no difficulty have been especially developed and things are just getting along) [90]. The body is very have become conscious of its infirmity—and of the Grace. For instancedivine Presence within them, there are painful, difficult moments, but it's per-fect-ly aware that it's because of its incapacity to open, to give itself, to change. And a profound joy, VERY CALM, but very vast—vast, you know, the cells feel a broadening. That goes on increasing little by little. It's only when there's a physical pain or something a little acute that the body is obliged to hang on, otherwise... And even that comes from this idiotic spirit of self-preservation (Mother laughs) in the depths of any cellular consciousness—it knows that. It knows it. It's an old habit. But all that, little by little (little by little, but in reality very fast—very fast), is changing [98]. The response of the cells was interesting enough, in the sense that they seemed to attach importance ONLY TO THE CAPACITY TO REMAIN IN CONSCIOUS CONTACT WITH THE HIGHER FORCE. It was like an aspiration (not formulated in words, naturally), scattered and like a... what enter other combinations in English which they call yearningawaken, a longing for that Contact with the divine Forceby contagion, the Force of Harmony, the Force consciousness of Truth and... the Force of Love, and [the cells' response was] Presence that because of that, they valued the present combination [103]. ==Cellular Consciousness=====Difficulties in Cells===There is a consciousness in the cells: it is what we call the "body consciousness" and it is wholly bound up with the body. This consciousness has much difficulty in changing, because it is under the influence of the collective suggestion which is absolutely opposed to the transformation. So each one has to struggle with this collective suggestion, not only with the collective suggestion of the present, but with the collective suggestion which belongs to the earth-consciousness as a whole, the terrestrial human consciousness which goes back to the earliest formation of manhad. That has to be overcome before the cells can be spontaneously aware of the Truth, of the Eternity of matter [36].  ===Ignorance in Cells===when it comes to incorporating matter into the work, matter as it is And in this world where the very starting point is false (we start off in unconsciousness and ignorance)way, well, it's very difficult. Because, to recover the consciousness it has lost, Matter has had to individualize itself, and for that—for the form to last and retain by this possibility phenomenon of individuality—it has been created with a certain indispensable measure of rigidity. And that rigidity is the main obstacle to the expansionconcentration, to the plasticity development and suppleness necessary for receiving the Supermind. I constantly find myself facing this problemdispersion, which is utterly concrete, absolutely material when you're dealing with cells that have to remain cells all matter evolves and not vaporize into some nonphysical realitylearns by contagion, and at the same time have to have a supplenessdevelops by contagion, a lack of rigidity, enabling them to widen indefinitely [124]. ===Inertia in Cells===[divine Love]; then I clearly saw that it went away because "it" couldn't stay, and I immediately wanted to know why it couldn't stay. To just say, "Things aren't ready... things aren't ready," is quite meaningless. Then has the cells themselves observed a sort ofexperience by contagion.<ref>http://incarnateword.. it's something between torpor, drowsiness, numbness and indifference; and that state is mistaken for peace, quietude and acceptance, but it really is... it really is a form of tamas. ===Obstinacy in Cells===there is a will to give it the full possibility of changing; well, for that, it has to be given free play, without bringing /cwm/12/mothers-action-in -a crushing Power—this I understand very well. But it has the obstinacy -class-of stupidity. How many times at the moment of a suffering, for instance, when a suffering is there, acute, and you feel it's going -children-aged-sixteen-to become intolerable, there is in the cells a little inner movement of Call: the cells send out their S.O.S. Everything stops, the suffering disappears. And often (now it's becoming more and more like that), the suffering is replaced by a feeling of blissful well-being. But the first reaction of that stupid material consciousness, its first reaction: "Ha! Let's see how long it's going to last." So, naturally, with that movement, it demolishes everything. Everything has to be started again [102].eighteen#p36</ref><center>~</center>===Habit in Cell=== It's a state... (how can I explain this?) whose characteristics exceed the power that concentrates the cells into an individual body. The effect is automatic (not willed): as soon as something takes central will of the form of a physical pain, it disappears INSTANTLY. But then, and this is most interesting, the second the body reverts being abdicates its will to a certain state—its ordinary state, which isn't hold all the ordinary human state, of course, but its ordinary, habitual state—it recaptures the MEMORY of its pain, and along with the memory comes the possibility of reverting to it if a certain number of conditions are not automatically fulfilled………………cells together.. It That is probably the passage from the true thing to the thing no longer true—not what is meant by Falsehood here on earth (that's something else altogether), but a first alteration compared to the pure Vibrationphenomenon. It gives the impression of a wrong habit, what remains is merely a question of a wrong habit. It's not the principle of distortion that works here, but the wrong habit due to the effect of ANOTHER principle [107]. The cells feel themselves everlasting, with a certain state of harmonious inner peace which partakes of eternity, that is to say, free from the kind of disorder and friction that causes aging and disintegration [158] ===Doubt in Cells===Through repeated, everyday experience, I am increasingly convinced that all disorders in the body and all diseases are the result of DOUBT in the cells accepts dissolution for one reason or a certain group of cellsanother. They doubt the Divine's concrete reality, they doubt the Divine Presence in them, they doubt their being divine in their very essence, and this doubt is the cause One of all disorders [134]. ==Physical Mind (Mechanical mind)==It is the material mind—not even the material mind: the mind OF MATTER.1 It strongest reasons is the mental substance that belongs to Matter itself, to the cells. That's what was formerly called "the spirit sense of an irreparable disharmony; the form," when it was said that mummies kept their bodies intact as long as the spirit of the form persisted [85]. It other is the most unconscious part a kind of the physical mind, and that's what connects the physical mind disgust with this material substance……… it is continuing the mind effort of the cells, a cellular mind [86]. This cellular mind exists in animals, coordination and there is even a faint beginning (but very faint, like a promise) in plants: they respond to a mental actionharmonisation. They respond. As soon as Life manifestsIn fact, there is already the beginning, like a promise of mind, of mental movement. And in animals, it's very clear. Whereas that physical mind really began to exist only in man. That's what a very small child already has: it already has a physical mind; so that no two very small children are alikeinnumerable reasons, with identical reactions: but unless there is already a difference. And violent accident, it is especially what is given you with the special FORM of your body, by atavism, and then fully developed by education [87].This body-mind is a very tangible truth; owing above all this will to its obscurity and mechanical clinging to past movements and facile oblivion and rejection of the new, we find in it maintain cohesion which abdicates for one of the chief obstacles to permeation by the supermind Force and the transformation of the functioning of the body. On the other handreason or another, once effectively converted, it will be one of the most precious instruments for the stabilisation of the supramental Light and Force in material Nature [90]or without reason. It's just a little less mechanical than the cellular mindis this which inevitably precedes death. But it Is material; it isn't the higher mind, certainly<ref>http: it's a mind confined to the body ("same gesture to the temples")//incarnateword. But the mind I was speaking of, the bodyin/cwm/12/mothers-action-mind, is EVERYWHERE, in every cell: every cell has it within it; whereas that power is specifically situated at the brain level. It's -a very cerebral action, enveloping the forehead and the lower part -class-of the face, not even down -children-aged-sixteen-to the throat [91]. If you mean, "How does one awaken the consciousness of the physical being?", that is precisely the aim of physical education. It is physical education that teaches the cells to be conscious. But for the development of the brain, it is study, observation, intelligent education, above all observation and reasoning. And naturally, for the whole education of the consciousness from the point of view of character, it is yoga [8]. And if the mind keeps its quietude and receptivity to higher forces only, it can then easily pass on that quietude and receptivity to the body consciousness and even to the material cells of the body [77]. You cannot drive out rajas and tamas, you can only convert them and give the predominance to sattwa. Tamas and rajas disappear only when the higher consciousness not only comes down but controls everything down to the cells of the body. They then change into the divine rest and peace and the divine energy or Tapas; finally sattwa also changes into the divine Light. As for remaining quiet when tamas is there, there can also be a tamasic quiet [76].-eighteen#p27</ref>

This …you have lots of cells in your body; each cell has its own consciousness and you have a consciousness which is the consciousness of your total individuality, though made up of all these small cellular consciousnesses. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/13-july-1955#p6</ref><center>~</center>In this physical consciousness as a whole, there is the physical mind—a mind that is a very tangible truth; owing to its obscurity occupied with all the ordinary things and mechanical clinging responds to past movements everything around you. There is also the vital consciousness, which is the awareness of sensations, impulses, enthusiasms and facile oblivion desires. Finally, there is the physical consciousness itself, the material consciousness, the body consciousness, and rejection that is the one which has so far never been entirely transformed. The global, overall consciousness of the newbody has been transformed, that is, one can throw off the bondage of thought, of habits that one no longer considers inevitable. That can change, it has been changed. But what remains to be changed is the consciousness of the cells. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/6-january-1951#p5</ref><center>~</center>There is a consciousness in the cells: it is what we find call the "body consciousness" and it is wholly bound up with the body. This consciousness has much difficulty in changing, because it is under the influence of the collective suggestion which is absolutely opposed to the transformation. So one has to struggle with this collective suggestion, not only with the collective suggestion of the chief obstacles present, but with the collective suggestion which belongs to permeation by the supermind force and earth-consciousness as a whole, the transformation of terrestrial human consciousness which goes back to the functioning earliest formation of the bodyman. On That has to be overcome before the other hand, once effectively converted, it will cells can be one spontaneously aware of the most precious instruments for Truth, of the stabilisation Eternity of the supramental light and force matter. <ref>https://incarnateword.in material Nature [81]./cwm/15/6-january-1951#p6</ref>

...here is a certain state of body-consciousness which brings things together, totalises things that ==Ignorance in other states of consciousness alternate or even in certain others oppose each other. But if one has reached up there, in the vital and the mind, a development sufficient for harmonising opposites (that of course, is quite indispensable), when one has succeeded in doing this, there are moments when it alternates, you see, one thing comes after the other, while what is remarkable in the consciousness of the body is that it can feel ("feel", can we say "feel"?—"experience"—the word "aware" expresses it best) all things simultaneously, as though you were hot and cold at once, as though you were active and passive at once, and everything becomes like that. Then you begin to grasp the totality of movements in the cells. It is something much more concrete naturally, but much more perfect in the body than in any other part of the being. This means that if things continue in this way, it will be proved that the physical, material instrument is the most perfect of all. That is why perhaps it is the most difficult to transform, to perfect. But of all, it is the one most capable of perfection [61].Cells==

These subconscient emergences are by no means…when it comes to incorporating matter into the work, however obscure or trivial they may seemmatter as it is in this world where the very starting point is false (we start off in unconsciousness and ignorance), always without any use for Yogawell, it's very difficult. They can indicate things with which Because, to recover the subconscient is burdened and from which consciousness it has lost, Matter has had to be freedindividualize itself, binding memories of and for that—for the vital form to last and retain this possibility of individuality—it has been created with a certain indispensable measure of rigidity. And that rigidity is the cells which have main obstacle to be dismissedthe expansion, forms, embedded notionsto the plasticity and suppleness necessary for receiving the Supermind. I constantly find myself facing this problem, tendencies, habitual movements which it is no longer good utterly concrete, absolutely material when you're dealing with cells that have to harbourremain cells and not vaporize into some nonphysical reality, seeds of and at the past which same time have to have a suppleness, a lack of rigidity, enabling them to be pulled out so that their undesirable fruit may no longer recur [83]widen indefinitely. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/03/january-12-1962-1#p15</ref>

==Effect of Physical Education on Cells=Fear===Physical culture is the process of infusing consciousness into the cells of the body…..When we concentrate to make our muscles move according to our will, when we endeavour to make our limbs more supple, to give them an agility, or a force, or a resistance, or a plasticity which they do not naturally possess, we infuse into the cells of the body a consciousness which was not there before, thus turning it into an increasingly homogeneous and receptive instrument, which progresses in and by its activities. This is the primary importance of physical culture.When one observes the extent to which the body is capable of perfecting itself, one understands how useful this can be to the action of the psychic being which has entered into this material substance. For naturally, when it is in possession of an organised and harmonised instrument which is full of strength and suppleness and possibilities, its task is greatly facilitated [47].

I am talking about what can be done in the best possible conditions)But when you have no longer any mental or vital fear, from the standpoint then you become aware of the harmony of forms, of strength and a certain sense of beauty, of the development of certain capacities of endurance and skill, of precision in the execution combined with strength, it's quite remarkable if you think of how recent [physical training is……………fear].It is a curious little vibration that gets into your cells and they begin shivering that way.But the cells, are not like a heart beating very fast. It is in the cellular aggregates acquire very cells: they tremble with just a plasticity, a receptivity, a force that make the substance more supple for the permeation of the supramental forces [110]slight quivering. And it is very difficult to control this. Yet it can be controlled.

==Effect I am sure that most of JAPA on Cells==you have felt this as, for example, when one does an exercise which is not done often or does it for the first time; these are tiny little vibrations which seize you in all the cells. And then naturally, you lose your full control over the movement. The body does not answer to the Force any more. When you want to put your will to do something, that brings about a kind of resistance and incapacity in the body. Only, you are not aware of it usually because your attention is drawn more to the mental apprehension or to the kind of vital recoil which is very apparent in the consciousness, whereas you are not so very conscious of the resistance produced in the body. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/22-july-1953#p16,p17</ref><center>~</center>It is this mind a sense of protection, and if one feels that one cannot protect oneself, one is afraid. But the cells movement of fear which seizes upon is expressed by the eyes fluttering is not a mantra mental or a japa vital fear: it is a fear in the cells of the body; for it has not been impressed upon them that there is no danger and they do not know how to resist. It is because one has not done yoga, you see. With yoga one can watch with open eyes, one would not close them; but one would not close them because one calls upon something else, and that "something else" is the sense of the divine Presence in oneself which is stronger than everything. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/14-march-1951#p31</ref><center>~</center>…the greatest obstacle in the way of man's progress is fear, a fear that is many-sided, multiform, self-contradictory, illogical, unreasoning and often unreasonable. Of all fears the most subtle and the most tenacious is the fear of death. It is deeply rooted in the subconscient and eventually repeats it automaticallyis not easy to dislodge. It is obviously made up of several interwoven elements: the spirit of conservatism and the concern for self-preservation so as to ensure the continuity of consciousness, the recoil before the unknown, the uneasiness caused by the unexpected and the unforeseeable, and perhaps, behind all that, hidden in the depths of the cells, the instinct that death is not inevitable and with that, if certain conditions are fulfilled, it can be conquered; although, as a matter of fact, fear in itself is one of the greatest obstacles to that conquest. For one cannot conquer what persistence! [92]one fears, and one who fears death has already been conquered by it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-fear-of-death-and-the-four-methods-of-conquering-it#p1</ref>

…THE CELLS repeating the mantra. Automatically, =Divine Qualities in the difficulty (there was a difficulty), they were repeating the mantra. Like a choir, an immense choir in a church, it was very odd. As if there were lots of little voices, innumerable little voices repeating and repeating the same sound [93].Cell=

there …each part of the being has its own aspiration which has the nature of the aspiring part. There is constantly in even a physical aspiration; the body can. …The cells of the body understand what the transformations will be, and with all their strength, all the consciousness they contain, they aspire for this transformation. The very cells of the body—not the central will, thought or emotion—the cells of the body open in this way to receive the Force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/3-november-1954#p19</ref><center>~</center>At the centre of each cell lies the Divine Consciousness.

This is not visible all at once, but there is a response everywhere. And it is by slowly, carefully, putting together all these parts which have responded, though it be but once, that one can build up something which will be coherent and organised, and which will permit one's action to continue with will, sincerity and perseverance [66].<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/26-march-1951#p27</ref><center>~</center>...physical Matter in its cellular form has, we can't say a fear or an anxiety, but a sort of apprehension of new vibrations, and that apprehension naturally takes away from the cells their receptivity and takes on the appearance of a discomfort (it's not a suffering but a discomfort). But when that apprehension is counterbalanced and cured by aspiration and the will for total surrender and the act of total surrender, then that sort of apprehension having disappeared, there comes supreme ease. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/september-28-1966#p26</ref>

===Psychic …a sort of certitude in Cells===...this body the cells that everything that happens is full of good will; it is filled with the psychic in every one of its cells. It's like a child. The other day, it cried out quite spontaneously, 'O my Sweet Lord, give me the time view to realize You!' It did not ask to hasten the process, it did not ask to lighten its work; it only asked for enough TIME to do the work. 'Give me the time [159]!' ===Peace/Light/Purity in Cells===Peace in the cells: the indispensable condition for the body's progress [9].  Light in the cells: the first step towards purity in the cells [10].  Purity in the cells cannot be obtained except through conquest this transformation and this transfer of desires; it is the true condition for good health [11]directing power.  It is And at the resistance of the mentalised substance in the cells of the body and can be overcome only by an integral and total conversion[12]. Well, it is like a song of the cells—but they must very moment when things are materially painful (not even have the insincerity of watching themselves do it—the song of physically: materially painful), the cells: "Thy Will, O Lord, Thy Will [15]keep that certitude."  ===Sincerity===if for instance you ask these cellsAnd so they withstand, with all they endure the consciousness and experience they now have, "Is there something you cannot do?", suffering without being depressed or affected in their sincerity they will answer, "No, what the Lord willsleast, I can do." That's their state of consciousness………………. with that certitude that it's still open to the whole influence from outside and the body is forced to do things that aren't directly the expression of prepare for the supreme Impulsiontransformation, hence the fatigue, the friction.... So a supramental body suspended in a world that's not the earth it is not even the thing! [155] ===Passive Receptivity=== cells really have to become capable process of transformation and of feeling, first, that they are entirely controlled by the Divine (which is expressed by "What You want, what You want," that state), and then a sort transfer of receptivethe directing power.<ref>http://incarnateword.. (what shall I say?) it's not immobile, it's.... Probably you would say a PASSIVE receptivity (Mother opens her hands in a smile). But I don't know how to explain it [137]./agenda/06/august-31-1965#p11</ref><center>~</center>===Faith in Cells===The last stage: when …when the cells have faith in the divine Presence and the divine sovereign Will and trust that all is for the good, then ecstasy comes—the cells open up, become luminous and ecstatic [94]. ===Goodwill in Cells===And when the cells are goodwilled... By "goodwilled," I mean that as soon as their attention is turned to the supreme Force (or supreme Presence or supreme Existence or supreme Reality—whatever, words are nothing but words), as soon as their attention is turned to That, a burst of joy<ref>http: "That's it! That's it!" In the cells that are truly not only goodwilled but thirsting for the Truth: a burst of joy. And then... the old habits start up again. And the cells say (it recurs periodically, that is, very often, thousands of times a day), "But we only have to will!" or "We only have to aspire" or "We only have to think of That" (it's not "think" as we understand it), "We only have to turn our attention"—"Oh, but it's true!" Like that. "Oh, such joy!" And then, brrf! all the old habits come back again. It's fantastic... fantastic [127]//incarnateword.in/agenda/04/august-10-1963#p6</ref>

If you could put in the body—INTO the body—the complete surrender, that is, it should RELY on the Supreme's intervention alone, you understand; the BODY, the very body must say to Him, "Here ("Mother opens her hands"), here..." to the Supreme, with the knowledge that He is there; He is there in the atmosphere, in the cells, in everything, and... ("gesture, hands open") and that's all. That's very effective [156].<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/11/june-20-1970#p34</ref>

=Illness or Disorder==Choice in Cells===First of all it's a choice (it looks like one): it's choosing the divine Presence—the divine Consciousness, the divine Presence, the divine Power (all that wordlessly), the "something" we define as the absolute Master. It's a choice of EVERY SECOND between the old laws of Nature—with some mental influence and the whole life as it has been organized—the choice between that, the government by that, and the government by the supreme Consciousness, which is equally present (the feeling of the Presence is equally strong); the other thing is more habitual, and then there's the Presence [135].

There are two simultaneous statesBut physical suffering is to me like a child being beaten, because here in Matter, Falsehood turned into ignorance, which means there is no bad will—there is no bad will in Matter, everything is inertia and ignorance: total ignorance of the state Truth, ignorance of uninterruptedthe Origin, almost endless continuityignorance of the Possibility, and the state even ignorance ofwhat needs to be done so as not to suffer materially... toppling over into decomposition (for This ignorance is everywhere in the body); cells, and only the two are constantly like this ("Mother places one hand closely over experience—and the other"). And the choice—the constant choice—basedexperience of what, in factthis rudimentary consciousness, on a reliance... leaning for support on the divine Consciousness for all things and every secondis translated as suffering—can awaken, or ceasing to lean on it. To arouse the cells, that choice appears need to know and be a free choicecured, with a very strong sense (but not at all formulated in words) of the support constantly given by and the supreme Consciousness aspiration to help them rely on it alone [136]be transformed.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/september-28-1966#p19</ref>

...what people call "deathThrough repeated, everyday experience," I am increasingly convinced that is, all disorders in the body and all diseases are the decomposition result of DOUBT in the cells and dissolution or a certain group of cells. They doubt the formDivine's concrete reality, is when they doubt the most material "vital subdegreeDivine Presence in them," which brings into contact with Life—with they doubt their being divine in their very essence, and this doubt is the vital force, life—goes out [109]cause of all disorders. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/05/may-14-1964#p4</ref>

The central will ==Cure of the physical being abdicates its will to hold all the cells together. That is the first phenomenon. It accepts dissolution for one reason or another. One of the strongest reasons is the sense of an irreparable disharmony; the other is a kind of disgust with continuing the effort of coordination and harmonisation. In fact, there are innumerable reasons, but unless there is a violent accident, it is above all this will to maintain cohesion which abdicates for one reason or another, or without reason. It is this which inevitably precedes death [2]. Illness==

...this decentralization stems from innumerable causes, but they are causes we might call psychological. And the cells contained in In the body, or composing the body, there are held in form by a centralization of the consciousness in them, invaluable and as long as that power of concentration is there, the body cannot dieunknown treasures. It's only when the power of concentration disappears that the In all its cells scatter. And then one dies. Then the body dies [131]. It is still a semi-collective consciousness, it there is not an individual consciousness intensity of life, of the cells [3].  When the concentration which forms the body comes to an end and the body dissolvesaspiration, all the cells that have been especially developed and have become conscious of the divine Presence within themwill to progress, are scattered and enter other combinations in which they awaken, by contagion, the consciousness of the Presence that each one has haddoes not usually even realise. And in this way, by this phenomenon of concentration, development and dispersion, all matter evolves and learns by contagion, develops by contagion, has the experience by contagion[4].  Naturally, the cell dissolves with the The body. It is the -consciousness of the cells that enters other combinations [5].  Normally would have to be completely warped by the consciousness action of the departed ought mind and vital for it not to feel no pain for what happens have an immediate will to re-establish the body after his or her departureequilibrium. But When this will is not there is in , it means that the material entire body itself a -consciousness called has been spoilt by the "spirit intervention of the form" which takes some time to get completely out of the aggregated cells; its departure is the starting point of a general decomposition, mind and before its departure it may have vital. In people who cherish their malady more or less subconsciously with a kind of feeling sort of what happens to morbidity under the body. That is why pretext that it makes them interesting, it is always better not to be in a hurry for the funeral [58]. ==Death their body at all—poor body!—it is Indispensable (Why)== It was the conditions of matter something they have imposed upon earth that made death indispensableit with a mental or vital perversion. The whole sense of the evolution of matter has been a growth from a first state of unconsciousness body, if left to an increasing consciousness. And in this process of growth dissolution of forms became an inevitable necessityitself, is remarkable, for, as things actually took place. For a fixed form was needed in order that the organised individual consciousness might have a stable support. And yet not only does it is the fixity of the form that made death inevitable. Matter had to assume forms; individualisation aspire for equilibrium and the concrete embodiment of lifewell-forces or consciousness-forces were impossible without being but it and without these there would have been lacking the first conditions is capable of organised existence on restoring the plane of matterbalance. But a definite and concrete formation contracts the tendency to become at once rigid and hard and petrified. The individual form persisted as a too binding mould; it cannot follow the movements of the forces; it cannot change in harmony with the progressive change in the universal dynamism; it cannot meet continually NatureIf one leaves one's demand or keep pace body alone without intervening with her; it gets out of all those thoughts, all the vital reactions, all the current. At a certain point of this growing disparity depressions, and disharmony between also all the form so-called knowledge and mental constructions and fears—if one leaves the force that presses upon body to itself, spontaneously it, a complete dissolution of the form will do what is unavoidablenecessary to set itself right again. A new form must be created; a new harmony and parity made possible<ref>https://incarnateword. This is the true significance of death and this is its use in Nature/cwm/06/19-may-1954#p42</ref><center>~</center>. But if ..cure for all physical disorders lies in the form can become more quick cells becoming convinced—conscious and pliant and the cells convinced—that they are an expression of the body can be awakened to change with the changing consciousnessDivine, there would be no need of a drastic dissolution, death would be no longer inevitable [54]or even that they are divine in their essence. It is this kind of constant "brooding" or presence of Death and the possibility of death, as it is said in Savitri<ref>http: we have a constant companion throughout the journey from cradle to grave; we are constantly accompanied by this threat or presence of Death//incarnateword. Well, along with this, in the cells, there is a call for a Power /agenda/12/october-16-1971#p63</ref><center>~</center>First of Eternityall, with an intensity which would you must not be there except for this constant threat. Then one understands, one begins to feel quite concretely that all these things are only ways of intensifying the manifestation, of making want it progress, of making it more perfect. And if and nothing in the means are crude, body must want it is because the manifestation itself is very crude. And as it becomes more perfect and fit to manifest that which is eternally progressive, the You must have a very crude means strong will give way not to subtler ones and the world will progress without any need for such brutal oppositionsbe ill. This is simply because the world is still in its infancy and human consciousness is still entirely in its infancy [62]first condition.Illness or DisorderThere The second condition is no illnessto call the light, no disorder which can resist the discovery a light of equilibrium, a light of this secret peace, quietude and balance, and the putting of to push it into practice, not only in the higher parts of the being but in all the cells of the body [16]. If one knows how to teach the cells the splendour that lies within , enjoining them, if one knows how not to make them understand the reality which makes them existbe afraid, gives them being, then they too enter the total harmony, and the physical disorder which causes the illness vanishes as do all other disorders of the being [17]because that again is another condition. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/11-may-1955#p12</ref>==Bad Suggestions in Cells==<center>~</center> I am conscious, There are a thousand reasons for instancethis unbalance but only one remedy, of vibrations of disorder (most often they come in the form of suggestions of disorder) in order to see whether they are accepted and have an effect. Let's take instil into the example being this instinct, this sense of true beauty, a suggestion of hemorrhage, or some such suggestion (I mention hemorrhage because it supreme beauty which will soon come into gradually act on the cells and make the picture)body capable of expressing beauty. Under the higher Influence, This is still a thing which is not known: the body consciousness rejects itis infinitely more plastic than you believe. Then begins the battle You must have surely noticed (all this takes place all the way down perhaps very vaguely) that those who live in the cellsan inner peace, in the material consciousness) between what we could call the "will for hemorrhage," for example, and the reaction of the body's cells. But it's very like a real battlean inner beauty, a real confrontation. And all of a suddenlight, there's something like a general issuing a command and sayingperfect goodwill, "What's this!"... You understand, that general have an expression which is conscious not quite the same as of the higher forcespeople who live in bad thoughts, the higher realities and the divine intervention in Matter; and after trying to use the will, this reaction, that feeling lower part of peace and so on, suddenly he is SEIZED by a very strong determination and issues a command—in no time the effect begins to make itself felt, and little by little everything returns to order [125]their nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/25-january-1951#p27</ref>

==Physical Suffering==But The attitude in certain cells towards a physical disorder which, naturally, like all physical suffering is disorders, tends to me like a child being beatenrecur. The attitude in the cells changes—not the disorder (!), the disorder changes only because here in Matterof the cells' reaction, that's what makes it change; but it recurs with clockwork regularity—that's its job. It is the way it's received by the cells, Falsehood turned into ignorancetheir reaction to it, which means that brings about the change. And there is no bad will—there now a difference in the cells' reaction. The result of my observation (an impersonal, general observation) is no bad will that there are two types of change (I can't call it "progress"), two types of change in the reaction: a change that goes on improving, in Matterthe sense that the reaction grows less sharp, the cells are less affected and become not only more conscious but more IN COMMAND of the reaction (something people are not generally conscious of, everything but which is inertia what brings about the cure). And, on the other hand, deterioration: under the unrelenting attack, the cells panic, become more and ignorancemore affected and afraid, and it eventually results in a terrible mess and a catastrophe. <ref>http: total ignorance of //incarnateword.in/agenda/04/march-30-1963#p19</ref><center>~</center>If we live only in the Truthoutward physical consciousness, ignorance we do not usually know that we are going to be ill until the symptoms of the Originmalady declare themselves in the body. But if we develop the inward physical consciousness, ignorance we become aware of a subtle environmental physical atmosphere and can feel the Possibilityforces of illness coming towards us through it, feel them even ignorance of what needs at a distance and, if we have learned how to be done so as not do it, we can stop them by the will or otherwise. We sense too around us a vital physical or nervous envelope which radiates from the body and protects it, and we can feel the adverse forces trying to suffer materiallybreak through it and can interfere, stop them or reinforce the nervous envelope. This ignorance is everywhere Or we can feel the symptoms of illness, fever or cold for instance, in the subtle physical sheath before they are manifest in the gross body and destroy them there, preventing them from manifesting in the body. Take now the call for the Divine Power, Light, Ananda. If we live only in the cellsoutward physical consciousness, it may descend and work behind the veil but we shall feel nothing and only see certain results after a long time. Or at most we feel a certain clarity and peace in the mind, a joy in the vital, a happy state in the experience—and physical and infer the experience touch of whatthe Divine. But if we are awake in the inward physical, we shall feel the light, power or Ananda flowing through the body, the limbs, nerves, blood, breath and, through the subtle body, affecting the most material cells and making them conscious and blissful and we shall sense directly the Divine Power and Presence. These are only two instances out of a thousand that are possible and can be constantly experienced by the sadhaka. <ref>http://incarnateword.in this rudimentary /cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p12</ref><center>~</center>The secret is to emerge from the ego, is translated as suffering—can awakenget out of its prison, arouse unite ourselves with the need Divine, merge into Him, not to know allow anything to separate us from Him. Then, once one has discovered this secret and realises it in one’s being, pain loses its justification and be curedsuffering disappears. It is an all-powerful remedy, not only in the deeper parts of the being, in the soul, in the spiritual consciousness, but also in life and in the aspiration to be transformed [111]body.

==PhysicalThere is no illness, Vital no disorder which can resist the discovery of this secret and Mental Disorders and Their Alleviation==With the mindputting of it into practice, it's rather easy—you can put things back not only in order the higher parts of the being but in five minutes, it's not difficult. With the vital it's already a bit more troublesome, it takes a little longer. But when you come to cells of the material level, wellbody.<ref>https://incarnateword...

===Hot and Cold Sensation===What you describe [a People say, "loadedOh, yes, here I am not afraid." head with sluggish thinking and mechanical thoughts] happens very usually during a cold They don't have any fear in the headmind, their mind is not afraid, it is strong, it is not afraid; but the body trembles, as ordinarily and one depends upon doesn't know it, because it is in the brain cells for of the transmission of body that the mental thoughttrembling goes on. When It trembles with a terrible anxiety and this is what attracts the mind illness. It is not so dependent on there that you must put the force and the quietude of a perfect peace and an absolute trust in the brain cellsGrace. And then, sometimes you are obliged to drive away with a similar force in your thought all suggestions that after all, then their obscuration by the cold does not interfere with clear seeing physical world is full of illnesses, and thinking these are contagious, and because one was in contact with somebody who is ill, one is sure to catch it, and then, that the inner methods are not thrown back in powerful enough to act on the physical, and all kinds of stupidities of which the mechanical mind [68]air is full. These are collective suggestions which are passed on from one person to another by everybody. And if by chance there are two or three doctors, then it becomes terrible. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/11-may-1955#p14</ref>Dry heat <center>~</center>Even if the inner being is supposed enlightened enough to be less bad for above all fear, the general health than damp heatfear still remains hidden in the cells of the body, obscure, spontaneous, beyond the reach of reason, usually almost unconscious. There It is however usually less need in these obscure depths that one must find it out, seize hold of it and cast upon it the light of food knowledge and therefore less appetitecertitude.

==Peace in the cells first, then consolidated force [is the secret of being able to bear heat and cold]. Pain and discomfort come from a physical consciousness not forceful enough to determine its own reaction to things [78].==

==Fear==the greatest obstacle in the way Catch hold of man's progress is fear, a fear that is many-sided, multiform, self-contradictory, illogical, unreasoning peace deep within and often unreasonable. Of all fears push it into the most subtle and cells of the most tenacious is body. With the fear of death. It is deeply rooted in peace will come back the subconscient and it is not easy to dislodgehealth. It is obviously made up of several interwoven elements<ref>https: the spirit of conservatism //incarnateword.in/cwm/15/peace-and the concern for self-preservation so as to ensure the continuity of consciousness, the recoil before the unknown, the uneasiness caused by the unexpected quiet-faith-and the unforeseeable, and perhaps, behind all that, hidden -surrender#p26</ref><center>~</center>Peace in the depths of the cells, : the instinct that death is not inevitable and that, if certain conditions are fulfilled, it can be conquered; although, as a matter of fact, fear in itself is one of indispensable condition for the greatest obstacles to that conquest. For one cannot conquer what one fears, and one who fears death has already been conquered by it [44]body's progress.

When physical disorder comes, one must not be afraid; one must not run away from it, must face it with courage, calmness, confidence, with the certitude that illness is a falsehood and that if one turns entirely, Light in full confidence, with a complete quietude to the divine grace, it will settle in these cells as it establishes itself : the first step towards purity in the depths of the being, and the cells themselves will share in the eternal Truth and Delight [18, 22].

It is only by discipline, by yoga that one can overcome this fear. But it is a fact that one can catch anything Purity in the cells cannot be obtained except through fear, even invite an accident. And, you see, from a certain point conquest of view everything desires; it is contagious. I knew a person who got a wound through the kind of fear that he felt seeing someone else's wound. He really got it [56]true condition for good health. Physically, well<ref> http://incarnateword... When you do not any longer have in/cwm/14/the other two fears, you can become aware of -body-the -physical fear. Generally#p18, the other two are much more conscious. They hide the physical fear from you. But when you have no longer any mental or vital fearp19, then you become aware of it. It is a curious little vibration that gets into your cells and they begin shivering that way. But the cells are not like a heart beating very fast. It is in the very cells: they tremble with just a slight quivering. And it is very difficult to control this. Yet it can be controlled [57].p20</ref><center>~</center>Physical FearIt is a sense of protection, and And if one feels that one cannot protect oneself, one is afraid. But the movement of fear which is expressed by the eyes fluttering is not a mental or a vital fear: it is a fear in the cells of the body; for it has not been impressed upon them that there is no danger mind keeps its quietude and they do not know how receptivity to resist. It is because one has not done yogahigher forces only, you see. With yoga one it can watch with open eyes, one would not close them; but one would not close them because one calls upon something else, and then easily pass on that "something else" is the sense of the divine Presence in oneself which is stronger than everything [65]. ===Conquering Fear===The first quietude and most important point is receptivity to know that life is one and immortal. The forms are countless, fleeting and brittle. This knowledge must be securely and permanently established in the mind body consciousness and one must identify one's consciousness as far as possible with the eternal life that is independent of every form, but which manifests in all forms [45].Even if the inner being is enlightened enough even to be above all fear, the fear still remains hidden in the material cells of the body, obscure, spontaneous, beyond the reach of reason, usually almost unconscious. It is in these obscure depths that one must find it out, seize hold of it and cast upon it the light of knowledge and certitude [45].It begins at birth and can end with the defeat of one of the two combatants<ref>http: the force of transformation and the force of disintegration//incarnateword. I say at birth, for in fact the two movements are in conflict from the very moment one comes into the world, although the conflict becomes conscious and deliberate only much later. For every indisposition, every illness, every malformation, even accidents, are the result of the action of the force of disintegration, just as growth, harmonious development, resistance to attack, recovery from /cwsa/31/illness, every return to the normal functioning, every progressive improvement, are due to the action of the force of transformation [46]....a ceaseless effort, a constant concentration to call down the regenerating force -and to increase the receptivity of the cells to this force, to fight step by step, from point to point against the devastating action of the forces of destruction and decline, to tear out of its grasp everything that is capable of responding to the ascending urge, to enlighten, purify and stabilise. Indeed, the victory can be sure and lasting only when it is total. And all that takes time, much time, and the years pass by inexorably, increasing the strength of the adverse forces [46]. -health#p55</ref> ==Pain==<center>~</center>Let us assume you have a pain somewhere; the instinct (the instinct of the body, of the cells) is to tense up and try to reject—which is the worst thing to do: it invariably increases the pain. So the first thing that must be taught to the body is to stay still—not to have any reactions. Above all no tensing up, and not even a movement of rejection—a perfect stillness. That's corporeal equanimity [100]. ==Tumor==Tumours always indicate some difficulty in the nature; certain cells decide to be independent of the discipline of the body. They do not remain in harmony with the other parts and begin to grow out of all proportion. Generally this is the result of a very strong greed in the nature. It may be greed for material things or for power or any other subtle object [25].  The cells of the body get the habit of increasing without cause. This is cancer. If you change the consciousness in the cells and get rid of their habit, cancer can be cured[26]. ===Cure of Illness===First of all, you must not want it and nothing in the body must want it. You must have a very strong will not to be ill. This is the first condition.The second condition is to call the light, a light of equilibrium, a light of peace, quietude and balance, and to push it into all the cells of the body, enjoining them not to be afraid, because that again is another condition [49]. ...cure for all physical disorders lies in the cells becoming convinced—conscious and convinced—that they are an expression of the Divine, or even that they are divine in their essence [138]. you see, in the body certain cells are developing as much as they can, growing increasingly conscious, and instead of disintegrating when the whole becomes inadequate to express the fullness of life, it's INWARDLY that all those cells would gather to form a new body with a matter superior to ordinary matter [139]. People say, "Oh, yes, here I am not afraid." They don't have any fear in the mind, their mind is not afraid, it is strong, it is not afraid; but the body trembles, and one doesn't know it, because it is in the cells of the body that the trembling goes on. It trembles with a terrible anxiety and this is what attracts the illness. It is there that you must put the force and the quietude of a perfect peace and an absolute trust in the Grace. And then, sometimes you are obliged to drive away with a similar force in your thought all suggestions that after all, the physical world is full of illnesses, and these are contagious, and because one was in contact with somebody who is ill, one is sure to catch it, and then, that the inner methods are not powerful enough to act on the physical, and all kinds of stupidities of which the air is full. These are collective suggestions which are passed on from one person to another by everybody. And if by chance there are two or three doctors, then it becomes terrible [50]. ...when there is something like an attack, an accident, an illness trying to come in—something—an attack on the body, a body that is left to its natural spontaneity has an urge, an aspiration, a spontaneous will to call for help. But as soon as the affair goes to the head, it takes the form of things to which one is accustomed: everything is spoilt. But if the body is seen in itself, just as it is, there is something which suddenly wakes up and calls for help, and with such a faith, such an intensity, just as the tiny little baby calls its mamma, you know—or whoever is there, it says nothing if it cannot speak. But the body left to itself without this kind of constant action of the mind upon it... well, it has this <ref>http: as soon as there is some disturbance, immediately it has an aspiration, a call, an effort to seek help, and this is very powerful. If nothing intervenes, it is very powerful. It is as though the cells themselves sprang up in an aspiration, a call [51]. If you enter into the combination of the cells and the inner organisation in order that all this may be ready to respond to the descending Force//incarnateword.... First, are you conscious of your physical cells and their different characteristics, their activity, the degree of their receptivity, of what is in a healthy condition and what is not? Can you say with certainty when you are tired, why you are tired? When there's something wrong somewhere, can you say, "It is because of this that I am suffering"?... Why do people rush to the doctor? Because they are under the illusion that the doctor knows better than they how to look inside their body and find out what's going on there—which is not very reasonable, but still that's the habit! But for oneself, who can look inside himself quite positively and precisely and know exactly what is out of order, why it is disturbed, how it has been disturbed? And all this is simply a work of observation; afterwards one must do what is necessary to put it back into order again, and that is still more difficult.Catch hold of a peace deep within and push it into the cells of the body. With the peace will come back the health [23].  There are a thousand reasons for this unbalance but only one remedy, to instil into the being this instinct, this sense of true beauty, a supreme beauty which will gradually act on the cells and make the body capable of expressing beauty. This is still a thing which is not known: the body is infinitely more plastic than you believe. You must have surely noticed (perhaps very vaguely) that those who live in an inner peace, in an inner beauty, a light, and perfect goodwill, have an expression which is not quite the same as of people who live in bad thoughts, in the lower part of their nature [64]. ===Peace ==When we can bring peace in our cells, we are cured [/agenda/06/march-24].  Peace can be brought down into the physical to its very cells. It is the active transformation of the physical that cannot be completely done without the supramental descent [75]. The feeling of stoniness is very usually a first impression in the body of the stillness in the cells which comes with the downflow of the Peace [76]. Gradually, if you make use of this understanding, you must, with a methodical work of infusing consciousness into the cells of the body, infuse at the same time the truth of the divine Presence. This work takes time, but, if done methodically and constantly, it produces an effect [27].  The peace and spontaneous knowledge are in the psychic being and from there they spread to mind and vital and physical. It is in the outer physical consciousness that the difficulty still tries to persist and brings the restlessness sometimes into the physical mind, sometimes into the nerves, sometimes in the shape of bodily trouble into the body. But all these things can and must go. Even the illnesses can go entirely with the growth of peace and power in the nerves and physical cells—stomach pains, weakness of the eyes and everything else [74]. Wideness and calmness are the foundation of the Yogic consciousness and the best condition for inner growth and experience. If a wide calm can be established in the physical consciousness, occupying and filling the very body and all its cells, that can become the basis for its transformation; in fact, without this wideness and calmness the transformation is hardly possible [73].-1965#p36</ref>

No, not that! If you don't take any notice, the cells will go on with their dance and will on the contrary think you approve of their way of being. You must pull the ==Will, you must get hold of the Will—the Will, I am putting it into you, mon petit! I am not asking you to use something illusory: I am putting it into you, a for-mi-da-ble Will.

Flower Healing…it must be an integral faith and it must be absolute. And it's must be of the right kind, not merely a force of mental thought or will, but something more and deeper. The will put forth by the mind sets up opposite reactions and creates a resistance. You must have heard something of the method of Coué in healing diseases. He knew some secret of this power and utilised it with considerable effect; but he called it imagination and his method gave the nerves that faith he called up too mental a form. Mental faith is not sufficient; it must be completed and enforced by a vital and even a physical faith, a faith of the experience is body. If you can create in yourself an integral force of this kind in all your being, then nothing can resist it; but you must reach down to the most painful (naturallysubconscious, since they are you must fix the faith in the most sensitive very cellsof the body.

But they have the whole of humanity believes firmly in death; it is, one might say, a general human suggestion based on a very great receptivitylong unchanging experience. If this belief could be cast out first from the conscious mind, then from the vital nature and very spontaneous, a spontaneously strong receptivity—and effortless—to the harmonious subconscious physical vibration layers, death would no longer be inevitable. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/5-may-1929#p18</ref><center>~</center>...this wear and tear, this deterioration (which comes from the Inconscient and is very rare, but still it exists in some individualsthe result of the RESISTANCE of the Inconscient), if for this we can substitute the aspiration for progress and that physical transformation (not with words—the vibration)... what we could call a physical FORCEThat experience has been given to me several times.

There's Only then, as a time when spontaneous, natural result, can one knows it very wellusefully stop eating. But it asks for years It could be said that the essential condition is to forget to eat—forget, because all the energies of labour, the being and above all years its concentration are turned towards a more total, more true inner realisation, towards this constant, imperative preoccupation with the union of work almost without any mental controlthe whole being, including the bodily cells, with the vibration of the divine forces, just with a consciousness the supramental force which is manifesting, so that's subtle enough to establish a connection with this may be the true life: not only the purpose of life, but the elements essence of transformation life, not only an imperative need of life, but all its joy and progress [34]all its "raison d'être". <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/12-june-1957#p5</ref>

And to know also how to determine for one's body, exactly, the amount =Transformation of physical effort, of material activity, of expenditure and recuperation of energy, the proportion between what is received and what is given, the utilisation of energies to re-establish a state of equilibrium which has been broken, to make the cells which are lagging behind progress, to build conditions for the possibility of higher progress, etc... it is a formidable task. And yet, it is that which must be done if one hopes to transform one's body. First it must be put completely in harmony with the inner consciousness. And to do that, it is a work in each cell, so to say, in each little activity, in every movement of the organs [34]. Cells=

But this substance itself—that is, this material physical substance which forms it constitutes an organism which lives for a certain length of time in a given form and then this form declines and dissolves—the substance itself constituting these successive forms progresses through all these forms.That is, the molecular, cellular substance—perhaps even the cellular—the molecular and atomic, is progressing in its capacity to express the divine Force and Consciousness..Through all these organisms this substance becomes more and more conscious, more and more luminous, more and more receptive, until it reaches a perfection sufficient for it to become a possible vehicle for the physical change divine Force itself can only which will be brought about by a descent able to use it as it uses the elements of the other parts of the greater supramental creation, like the mind or the vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/28-december-1955#p33</ref><center>~</center>This body, this physical cellular substance contains "almighty powers," a dumb consciousness into that harbors all the lights and all the infinitudes, just as much as the mental and spiritual immensities do. For, in truth, all is Divine and unless the cells Lord of all the universe resides in a single little cell he resides nowhere. It is this original, dark cellular Prison which we must break open; for as long as we have not broken it, we will continue to turn vainly in the bodygolden or iron circles of our mental prison. "These laws of Nature," says Sri Aurobindo, "that you call absolute... merely mean an equilibrium established to work in order to produce certain results. Till But, if you change the consciousness, then at least the body and its supporting energies have groove also is bound to be maintained change." <ref>http://incarnateword.in part by /agenda/12/december-11-1971#p47</ref><center>~</center>It is something I have felt very, very clearly and which one cannot feel so long as the ordinary meansphysical ego is there, foodbecause the physical ego has the sense of its own importance and that disappears entirely with the physical ego. And when it disappears one has the precise perception that the intervention or the manifestation of the true vibration does not depend on egos or individualities—human or national individualities or even those of Nature: animals, sleepplants, etc. Food has It depends on a certain play of the cells and Matter in which some agglomerates are particularly favourable to the transformation—not "transformation", but substitution, to be taken precise: the substitution of the vibration of Truth for the vibration of Falsehood. <ref>https://incarnateword.in /cwm/10/aphorism-101-102#p42</ref><center>~</center>...here's a moment when the divine forces come and penetrate all the cells.

A premature There are also the body's feelings, and excessive physical austerity (tapasyā) may endanger the process very cells of the body, which can open to receive the force. For instance, when at a certain moment one feels a kind of very intense vibrations spreading through the sadhana by establishing whole body and at that time one feels filled with a strength, an unusual force, a disturbance consciousness also, and all things become clear and abnormality perceptible, then that's an opening of the forces body; it is when the body knows, you see, and has succeeded in opening to the influence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwm/06/3-november-1954#p6</ref><center>~</center>For, of all the different parts aspects of the system Mother, this is the one [80personality of Ananda]which has the greatest power for the transformations of the body. Indeed, the cells which are able to vibrate to the contact of divine joy, to receive and preserve it, are regenerated cells on the way to becoming immortal. But the vibration of divine joy and those of pleasure cannot lodge together in the same vital and physical system. So one must have totally renounced experiencing all pleasure in order to be in a state to receive the Ananda. But very few are those who can renounce pleasure without, by the very fact, renouncing all participation in active life and plunging into a rigorous asceticism. And among those who know that it is in active life that the transformation must take place, some try to see pleasure as a more or less warped form of Ananda, and thus justify in themselves the quest for personal satisfaction, creating in themselves an almost insuperable obstacle to their own transformation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/25-august-1954#p9</ref>

===Food for Future=Effect of Physical Education on Cells==

...any cellular contact with the divine Presence magnifies those things [like refusing food]. I If you mean all external processes—food and so on—seem then so cumbersome! Without a doubt , "How does one awaken the next creation will use something else, another way consciousness of staying alive, but we don't yet know what it is. I have a feeling there already exists a certain type of food—an intermediary type of food—which is no longer like the old kind but isn't yet... [the direct absorption of energy], and which has a minimal material basis. But we don't know anything about it, we don't know, nobody knows, we are still inexperienced; we have to find it—but howphysical being?[148]Transformation of CellsWhat takes time is to prepare Matter", this cellular matter as it that is now organized [since precisely the awakening aim of the mind of the cells in Mother], to make it supple enough and strong enough to be able to bear and manifest the divine Force. That takes a lot of time...physical education. It explains everything, everything—everything is explained. The day we can describe physical education that in detail, it will be really interesting [105]. It's like that habit of teaches the cells of drawing the force from below (through food and so on): when you try to transform that into a constant habit of drawing the force from above, every instant, in every small detail, there's a difficult momentbe conscious....[128] ==Vigilance in Body==Constant vigilance—constant. It's infinitely more difficult than when one worked even in But for the vital; in development of the vitalbrain, it's nothingis study, observation, it's child's play in comparison. But hereintelligent education, phew!above all observation and reasoning... BecauseAnd naturally, you see, in for the whole education of the mind or consciousness from the vital, it's all movements point of organization, view of actioncharacter, of choice, of decision—it's very easy to decide, to rule! But that cellular tension it is there EVERY SECONDyoga. <ref>http: it's the activity inherent //incarnateword.in material existence. It's only when you go into samadhi that it stops. That is, when outwardly you are /cwm/12/mothers-action-in trance. Then it stops [129].-a-class-of-children-aged-sixteen-to-eighteen#p53</ref><center>~</center>One—the most important, naturally—is Physical culture is the way we could call "spiritual," which is that process of infusing consciousness into the contact with cells of the Consciousness—Love-Consciousness-Power, that is; these three aspects: supreme Love-Consciousness-Powerbody….. And the contactWhen we concentrate to make our muscles move according to our will, the identification: when we endeavour to make all the material cells capable of receiving Him and expressing Him—of BEING That [147]. This bodyour limbs more supple, to give them an agility, this physical cellular substance contains "almighty powersor a force,"9 or a dumb consciousness that harbors all the lights and all the infinitudesresistance, just as much as the mental and spiritual immensities or a plasticity which they do. Fornot naturally possess, in truth, all is Divine and unless we infuse into the Lord cells of all the universe resides in body a single little cell he resides nowhere. It is this original, dark cellular Prison consciousness which we must break open; for as long as we have was not broken there before, thus turning itinto an increasingly homogeneous and receptive instrument, we will continue to turn vainly which progresses in and by its activities. This is the golden or iron circles primary importance of our mental prisonphysical culture. "These laws of Nature," says Sri Aurobindo, "that you call absolute... merely mean an equilibrium established When one observes the extent to work in order to produce certain results. But, if you change which the consciousness, then the groove also body is bound to change [130]." ...this is a very tangible truth; owing to its obscurity and mechanical clinging to past movements and facile oblivion and rejection capable of the newperfecting itself, we find in it one of the chief obstacles understands how useful this can be to permeation by the supermind Force and the transformation action of the functioning of the bodypsychic being which has entered into this material substance. On the other hand, once effectively convertedFor naturally, when it will be one is in possession of the most precious instruments for the stabilisation of the supramental Light an organised and Force in the material Nature [153]." ==Cellular Mind==...when this new consciousness harmonised instrument which is being worked out in the physical being (the mind full of the cells) has caught hold of thatstrength and suppleness and possibilities, oh, it was as if it had caught hold of an extraordinary revelation; it said, "Ah, I've got you, you culprit! You are the one who its task is preventing the transformation [119]greatly facilitated. <ref>http://incarnateword."in/cwm/10/aphorism-11#p12</ref><center>~</center>It […from the descent standpoint of the higher consciousness into the most physical] brings lightharmony of forms, consciousness, force, Ananda into the cells of strength and all the physical movements. The body becomes conscious and vigilant and performs the right movementsa certain sense of beauty, obeying of the higher will or else automatically by force development of the consciousness that has come into it [79] A greater control comes over the actions certain capacities of the body endurance and even over happenings to it from outsideskill, e.g. minimising of accidents and small mishaps. The body becomes a more effective instrument for work. It becomes possible to minimise fatigue. Peace, happiness, precision in the execution combined with strength, lightness in the whole it's quite remarkable if you think of how recent physical system. These are training is…the cells, the more obvious and normal results which grow as the consciousness growscellular aggregates acquire a plasticity, a receptivity, but there are many others a force that are possible. There is also make the unity with substance more supple for the earth-consciousness, the constant sense permeation of the Divine supramental forces. <ref>http://incarnateword.in the physical, etc [79]./agenda/06/april-21-1965#p12</ref>

==Apprehension and AspirationEffect of Japa on Cells==...physical Matter in its cellular form has, we can't say a fear or an anxiety, but a sort of apprehension of new vibrations, and that apprehension naturally takes away from the cells their receptivity and takes on the appearance of a discomfort (it's not a suffering but a discomfort). But when that apprehension is counterbalanced and cured by aspiration and the will for total surrender and the act of total surrender, then that sort of apprehension having disappeared, there comes supreme ease [112].

For "Japa": the cells, thatcontinuous repetition of a mantra. Mother's not mantra is a song of the problem—the problem is not thatcells, but whether to follow the Will sole material or physical process used by her for Transformation (which sometimes is a bit brutal—brutal compared to awakening the cells and stabilizing the very small thing a Supramental Force in her body . <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/02/january-22-1961#p42</ref><center>~</center>It is), or whether to follow this mind of the Will for Harmony, cells which is always pleasantseizes upon a mantra or a japa and eventually repeats it automatically, and is always there, even when outwardly things are decomposing [114]with what persistence! <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/04/june-3-1963#p9</ref>Immortality in Cell<center>~</center>...cell is immortalFor the moment, and that aging results merely from a combination of circumstances. This research is tending towards all the formulas or mantras, the conclusion one that acts most directly on this body, that aging seizes all the cells and immediately does this ("vibrating motion") is merely a bad habit—which seems to be truethe Sanskrit mantra: OM NAMO BHAGAVATEH. <ref>https://incarnateword. Which means that when you LIVE in the Truth/agenda/01/september-16-Consciousness1958#p24</ref><center>~</center>It [OM NAMO BHAGAVATEH] is there, Matter is not all around me; it takes hold of all the cells and at once they spring forth in contradiction to that Consciousness [117]an ascension. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/september-16-1958#p16</ref>

==Vital Immortality and Body Ageing==...there's cell is immortal, and that aging results merely from a double movement: both combination of circumstances. This research is tending towards the conclusion that aging is merely a cellular transformation and a capacity for "something" bad habit—which seems to be true. Which means that could replace expansion with readjustmentwhen you LIVE in the Truth-Consciousness, a constant intercellular reorganizationMatter is not in contradiction to that Consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/03/october-16-1962#p18</ref><center>~</center>...the closer one draws to the cell itself, the more the cell says, "But I am immortal!" Only it must become conscious.The way they But this takes place almost automatically: the brain cells are now, very conscious; the cells of the hands and arms of course, our bodies musicians are rigid very conscious; with athletes and heavy—it's unspeakablegymnasts, actually; if it weren't for that we would never grow oldthe cells of the entire body are wonderfully conscious. For instanceSo, my vital being is more full conscious, those cells become conscious of energy, and thus full their principle of youth immortality and power say, "Why would I want to grow, than when I was twenty. Thereold? Why!" They don's really no comparisont want to grow old. The power It is INFINITELY greater... yet the body is going to pieces—it's really something unspeakable. So a way has to be found to bridge this gap between the vital and the material being [122]very interesting <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/03/october-16-1962#p19</ref>

Cellular Dance ===Vital Immortality and WillFor him, it is enough to simply lift a finger and emit a vibration which instantly muzzles the disorder—yes, of course, but for Mother it is not a question of 'curing' a head cold by imposing a higher POWER on Matter, but of getting down to the cellular root and curing or transforming the source of the evil (which causes death as easily as head colds, for it is the same root of disorder). It is not a question of imposing oneself on Matter through a 'power,' but of transforming Matter. Such is the yoga of the cells [99] .Rebound from SubconsciousAnd it comes back: you throw their suggestion out of the window, you don't bother about it, you think it's all over, and it's gone into the subconscient; and suddenly, one fine day, a tiny little incident, and it comes back, formidable [121]:Body Ageing===

Faith in Supreme Overcomes the Inconscience in Cell...this wear there's a double movement: both a cellular transformation and teara capacity for "something" that could replace expansion with readjustment, this deterioration (which comes from the Inconscient a constant intercellular reorganization...The way they are now, of course, our bodies are rigid and is the result of the RESISTANCE of the Inconscient)heavy—it's unspeakable, actually; if it weren't for this that we can substitute the aspiration for progress and transformation (not with words—the vibration)... That experience has been given to me several timeswould never grow old. For exampleinstance, suppose there my vital being is something which goes wrongmore full of energy, there is a pain somewhereand thus full of youth and power to grow, something disorganized that than when I was twenty. There's really no longer works properly; if there comparison. The power is INFINITELY greater... yet the vision and conception in the faith (faith and consecration body is going to the Supreme) that itpieces—it's deliberate, that the Supreme really something unspeakable. So a way has allowed it to be (how can I express it? All words are meaningless), has allowed or willed it, or wanted it found to be, because to Him it seems bridge this gap between the best way to transform vital and the thing, to have it make the necessary progress, if the cells that are somewhat disorganized and "sick," as they say, are able to feel thismaterial being.<ref> http://incarnateword.. then straight away it takes a marvellous turn for the better—immediately, in five minutes, ten minutes [108]./agenda/03/january-12-1962-1#p11</ref>

Now all these cells have in their aspiration an Ananda of Light, of Truth, but that doesn't satisfy them completely, that is, they still have a sensation of helplessness.... Of course, it has become 's all the very movement of Darkness, all the cellular consciousness. All weaknessesFalsehood, all responses to adverse suggestions (I mean the smallest things of every minute in the cells)Disorder, are taken in all the same movement Disharmony of offering the world that you constantly absorb every time you breathe (and these come sometimes in waves, not to such an extent speak of all that you absorb with food, and all the body feels it will swoon before this assault)rest—the worst of all—that you absorb mentally through contact with others, mentally and then comes a lightvitally). And all that has to be changed, so warmtransformed, so deepconstantly. Well, so powerfulthe cells feel their helplessness to face the work if That, which puts everything back in orderthat Vibration, in its placeisn't there. They find that Vibration irresistible, and opens they find it's the way to transformation[13]only irresistible one. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/agenda/06/march-20-1965#p54</ref>

And if we carry the experience still further, it seems that when one comes to the work of transformation of the body, when some cells of the body, more ready than others, more refined, more subtle, more plastic, are able to feel concretely the presence of the divine Grace, the divine Will, the divine Power, this Knowledge that is not intellectual but a knowledge by identity, when one feels this in the cells of the body, then the experience is so total, so imperative, so living, concrete, tangible, real that everything else seems a vain dream [32]. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/14-may-1958#p8</ref><center>~</center>There comes a moment when the body itself finds that there is nothing in the world which is so worth living for as this transformation; that there is nothing which can have as great an interest as this passionate interest of transformation. It is as though all the cells of the body were athirst for that Light which wants to manifest; they cry out for it, they find an intense joy in it and are sure of the Victory. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/25-september-1957#p8</ref>

The only thing that is truly effective is the change of consciousness; it is the inner liberation through an intimate, constant union, absolute and inevitable, with the vibration of the supramental forces. The preoccupation of every second, the will of all the elements of the being, the aspiration of the entire being, including all the cells of the body, is this union with the supramental forces, the divine forces. And there is no longer any need at all to be preoccupied with what the consequences will be. What has to be ===Steps in the play of the universal forces and their manifestation will be, quite naturally, spontaneously, automatically, there is no need to be preoccupied with it. The only thing that matters is the constant, total, complete contact—constant, yes, constant—with the Force, the Light, the Truth, the Power, and that ineffable delight of the supramental consciousness [38].Transformation===

There comes Of course a moment when certain preliminary transformation is necessary, just as the psychic and spiritual transformation precedes the supramental. But this is a change of the physical consciousness down to the submerged consciousness of the cells so that they may respond to higher forces and admit them and to a certain extent a change or at least a greater plasticity in the processes. The rules of food etc. are meant to help that by minimising obstacles. How far this involves a change of the chemical constitution of the body itself finds I cannot say. It seems to me still that whatever preparatory changes there may be, it is nothing only the action of the supramental Force that can confirm and complete them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwsa/28/transformation-and-the world which is so worth living for as this -body#p9</ref><center>~</center>This transformationby the help of the mind―by self-analysis―is a first step; afterwards, it is necessary to transform the vital impulses: that there is nothing which can have as great an interest as this passionate interest much more difficult, and especially to transform the physical. Every cell in our bodies must become conscious. This is the work I am doing here; it will enable the conquest of transformationdeath. It That is as though all another story; that will be the cells humanity of the future, perhaps after hundreds of years, perhaps sooner. It will depend on men, on nations. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/early-talks#p95</ref><center>~</center>Some people try to transform their body were athirst for that Light which wants to manifest; they cry out for before even having transformed their intelligence, and this produces a complete displacement, itunbalances them totally. One must first transform his thought, all his mind, all his mental activity, they find an intense joy in organise it with higher knowledge; and at the same time one must transform his character, all the movements of the vital, all impulses, all reactions. And finally, when these two things are sure done, in any case up to a certain point, one can begin to think of transforming the Victory [40]cells of his body, but not begin at the end; one must begin at the beginning. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/15-june-1955#p3</ref>

For, One of all the aspects greatest victories of this ineffable humility of God will be the Mother, this transformation of Matter which is apparently the one most undivine. Supramental plasticity is an attribute of finally transformed Matter. The supramental body which has to be brought into being here has four main attributes: lightness, adaptability, plasticity and luminosity. When the greatest physical body is thoroughly divinised, it will feel as if it were always walking on air, there will be no heaviness or tamas or unconsciousness in it. There will also be no end to its power for of adaptability: in whatever conditions it is placed it will immediately be equal to the transformations of demands made upon it because its full consciousness will drive out all that inertia and incapacity which usually make Matter a drag on the bodySpirit. Indeed, Supramental plasticity will enable it to stand the cells attack of every hostile force which are able strives to vibrate pierce it: it will present no dull resistance to the contact of divine joyattack but will be, on the contrary, so pliant as to receive and preserve it, are regenerated cells on nullify the force by giving way to becoming immortalit to pass off. But the vibration of divine joy Thus it will suffer no harmful consequences and those of pleasure cannot lodge together in the same vital and physical systemmost deadly attacks will leave it unscathed. So one must have totally renounced experiencing all pleasure in order to Lastly, it will be in a state to receive turned into the Ananda But very few are those who can renounce pleasure withoutstuff of light, by each cell will radiate the very fact, renouncing all participation in active life and plunging into a rigorous asceticismsupramental glory. And among Not only those who know that it is in active life that are developed enough to have their subtle sight open but the transformation must take placeordinary man too will be able to perceive this luminosity. It will be an evident fact to each and all, some try to see pleasure as a more or less warped form permanent proof of Ananda, and thus justify in themselves the quest for personal satisfaction, creating in themselves an almost insuperable obstacle to their own transformation [60]which will convince even the most sceptical. <ref>http://incarnateword."in/cwm/03/true-humility-supramental-plasticity-spiritual-rebirth#p2</ref>

A spiritual Ananda The cells feel themselves everlasting, with a certain state of harmonious inner peace which partakes of eternity, that is to say, free from the kind of disorder and friction that causes aging and disintegration. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/04/february-23-1963#p15</ref><center>~</center>…if for instance you ask these cells, with all the consciousness and experience they now have, "Is there something you cannot do?", in their sincerity they will answer, "No, what the Lord wills, I can flow into do." That's their state of consciousness… it's still open to the whole influence from outside and the body is forced to do things that aren't directly the expression of the supreme Impulsion, hence the fatigue, the friction.... So a supramental body suspended in a world that's not the earth is not the thing! <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/september-30-1966#p34</ref><center>~</center>And when the cells are goodwilled... By "goodwilled," I mean that as soon as their attention is turned to the supreme Force (or supreme Presence or supreme Existence or supreme Reality—whatever, words are nothing but words), as soon as their attention is turned to That, a burst of joy: "That's it! That's it!" In the cells that are truly not only goodwilled but thirsting for the Truth: a burst of joy. And then... the old habits start up again. And the cells say (it recurs periodically, that is, very often, thousands of times a day), "But we only have to will!" or "We only have to aspire" or "We only have to think of That" (it's not "think" as we understand it), "We only have to turn our attention"—"Oh, but it's true!" Like that. "Oh, such joy!" And then, brrf! all the old habits come back again. It's fantastic... fantastic. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/06/october-10-1965#p8</ref><center>~</center>…the impression is as if the supreme Consciousness had undertaken the work of transformation of the body and inundate cell were doing it thoroughly, but also without hesitation, without compromise or anything of the sort, and... the question is whether the body will hold out. That's how it is. The body knows it—it knows and tissue; doesn't have a luminous materialisation shadow of fear, I must say—it's all the same to it: "What You want will be fine." At times it feels a little suffering for one thing or another, a little friction (a pain here or there... some pains aren't too pleasant), and at such times it always says (Mother opens her hands): "As You will, Lord." And within a few minutes at the most, the thing calms down. But it has stopped wondering whether or not it will last, whether or not it will succeed—all that is over, gone: "It's as You will, as You will." It uses those words because we can use only one language, which is quite incapable of expressing things; we don't know anything else, so we use that language.

The mind has withdrawn, the vital has withdrawn, everything has withdrawn; when I was supposedly ill, the mind had gone away, the vital had gone away, and the body was left to itself—purposely. And that's why, it's precisely because the vital and mind had gone that it looked like a very serious illness. And then, ==Choice in the body left to itself, the cells little by little started awakening to the consciousness (gesture of a rising aspiration); once those two had gone, the consciousness which had been infused into the body THROUGH the vital (from the mind to the vital and from the vital to the body) started slowly, slowly emerging. It began with that burst of Love right at the top, from the extreme, supreme altitude; then, little by little, little by little, it came down to the body. Then that sort of physical mind, that is, something totally and completely idiotic going round and round in circles, forever repeating the same thing over and over again, became clear little by little and grew conscious, organized, then fell silent. And then in that silence, the aspiration expressed itself in prayers [126].Cells==

I could say First of all it's a choice (it looks like one): it's choosing the divine Presence—the divine Consciousness, the divine Presence, the divine Power (all that overallwordlessly), the body"something" we define as the absolute Master. It's self-giving is total, a choice of EVERY SECOND between the consecration almost total in old laws of Nature—with some mental influence and the sense whole life as it has been organized—the choice between that there's everywhere an active collaboration, but with an intense aspirationthe government by that, and at times a moment when it goes like this the government by the supreme Consciousness, which is equally present (gesture expressing a swelling in the cellsfeeling of the Presence is equally strong). I don't know what happens, it's something going on in ; the cellsother thing is more habitual, and then... there's no self-giving anymore or anythingthe Presence.<ref>http://incarnateword.. neither a "consecration" nor "listening to in/agenda/09/june-26-1968#p9</ref><center>~</center>There are two simultaneous states: the command": it's a stateof uninterrupted, almost endless continuity, a and the state of intense vibration, with at ... toppling over into decomposition (for the body); the same time a sense of all-powerfulness, even in here two are constantly like this ("Mother pinches places one hand closely over the skin of her handsother").

...in certain circumstances or by an exceptional grace you are suddenly put into contact with a supramental light, power or consciousness. It is like an abrupt opening in your closed shell, like a rent in that opaque envelope which separates you from the Truth, and the contact is established. Immediately this force, this consciousness, this light acts, even =More on your physical cells; it acts in the mind, in the vital, in the body, changes the vibrations, organises the substance and begins its work of transformation. You are under the impact of this sudden contact and action; for you it is a sort of indescribable, inexpressible state which takes hold of you, you haven't any clear, precise, definite idea of it, it is... "something that happens". It may give you the impression of being wonderful or tremendous, but it is inexpressible and incomprehensible for you. That is the experience in its essence and its true power [39].Cells=

...the body's cells, that is, the body's form had the experience that staying together or dissolving depends on a certain attitude—an attitude or a will; something that has to do with will and attitude. And with the perception (sometimes simultaneously an almost double perception, one being more a memory and the other a lived thing) of what makes you move, act, know; the old way like a memory, and the new way in which, obviously, there is no reason at all to dissolve, except if you choose to do so—[149]'Tumor'''

There are two things it's conscious of: a more and more intense adoration Tumours always indicate some difficulty in the nature; certain cells, oh, like this (gesture like a rising flame), and at the same time, such an acute sense of the extent decide to which the cells are not what they should be, independent of the unworthiness discipline of their conditionthe body. Those two things are constant They do not remain in harmony with the other parts and constantly together. And that's begin to grow out of all [150]proportion.the impression Generally this is as if the supreme Consciousness had undertaken the work of transformation of the body and were doing it thoroughly, but also without hesitation, without compromise or anything result of a very strong greed in the sort, andnature... the question is whether the body will hold out. That's how it is. The body knows it—it knows and doesn't have a shadow of fear, I must say—it's all the same to it: "What You want will It may be fine." At times it feels a little suffering greed for one thing material things or another, a little friction (a pain here for power or thereany other subtle object... some pains aren't too pleasant), and at such times it always says (Mother opens her hands): "As You will, Lord." And within a few minutes at the most, the thing calms down. But it has stopped wondering whether or not it will last, whether or not it will succeed—all that is over, gone<ref>http: "It's as You will, as You will." It uses those words because we can use only one language, which is quite incapable of expressing things; we don't know anything else, so we use that language. When it says, "As You will," there's this movement of... (gesture of dilation and expansion) what should I call it?... It's like an easing in all the cells—they ease up. They ease up in the supreme Light, in the supreme Consciousness, like that. Then you feel the form is about to disappear, but..//incarnateword.

==Transformation: the Greatest Victory==One The cells of the greatest victories of this ineffable humility of God will be body get the transformation habit of Matter which is apparently the most undivineincreasing without cause. Supramental plasticity This is an attribute of finally transformed Matter. The supramental body which has to be brought into being here has four main attributes: lightness, adaptability, plasticity and luminositycancer. When If you change the physical body is thoroughly divinised, it will feel as if it were always walking on air, there will be no heaviness or tamas or unconsciousness in it. There will also be no end to its power of adaptability: consciousness in whatever conditions it is placed it will immediately be equal to the demands made upon it because its full consciousness will drive out all that inertia cells and incapacity which usually make Matter a drag on the Spirit. Supramental plasticity will enable it to stand the attack get rid of every hostile force which strives to pierce it: it will present no dull resistance to the attack but will be, on the contrary, so pliant as to nullify the force by giving way to it to pass off. Thus it will suffer no harmful consequences and the most deadly attacks will leave it unscathed. Lastlytheir habit, it will cancer can be turned into the stuff of light, each cell will radiate the supramental glorycured. Not only those who are developed enough to have their subtle sight open but the ordinary man too will be able to perceive this luminosity. It will be an evident fact to each and all, a permanent proof of the transformation which will convince even the most sceptical [43]<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/general#p33</ref>
