[QUOTE="Pondering, post: 178144, member: 10737"] Here's a little food for thought about the issues we face about our collective worth or validity...From Mirra Alfassa in Satprem's Mother's Agenda 1964 Volume 5 page 223,"Above all, one should be trusting. The big difficulty, in matter, is that material consciousness, that is to say, the mind in Matter, was formed under the pressure of difficulties, obstacles, suffering, struggle. It was, so to speak, "worked out" by those things, and that gave it an imprint almost of pessimism and defeatism, which is certainly the greatest obstacle. This is the thing I am conscious of in my work. The most material consciousness, the most material mind, is in the habit of having to be whipped into acting, into making effort and moving forward, otherwise it's tamas. So then, if it imagines, it always imagines the difficulty-always the obstacle, always the opposition, always the difficulty...and that slows down the movement terribly. So it needs very concrete, very tangible and VERY REPEATED experiences to be convinced that behind all its difficulties, there is a Grace; behind all its failures, there is the Victory; behind all its pain and suffering and contradictions, there is Ananda. Of all the efforts, this is the one that has to be repeated most often:you are constantly forced to stop, put an end to, drive away, convert a pessimism, a doubt or a totally defeatist imagination. I am speaking exclusively of the material consciousness." [/QUOTE]
