What you see above is of course the true or higher consciousness – the Mother’s – in which one sees all the world as one, a vast free consciousness full of freedom, peace and light – it is that that we speak of as the higher or divine consciousness. Even if it comes and goes, yet its effect on the heart shows that a connection has been established through the psychic – for the psychic is behind the heart. It is there above the head that the consciousness has to ascend and remain, while it also descends into the head and heart and lower vital and physical and brings there its wideness, light, peace and freedom.
