Chapter 2The Universe: Manifestation of the Divine

The Divine and the Universe

THE UNIVERSE:

MANIFESTATION OF THE DIVINE

It is He, the perfect spirit who fills all. The perfect spirit fills all. It is He who fills all. Who is He? The perfect spirit. It is He, the perfect spirit who fills all.

* It is the Lord who sets all in motion from the depths of the being; it is His will that directs, His force that acts.

18 September 1954

* At the service of the Divine we are; it is the Divine who decides, ordains and puts in motion, directs and accomplishes the action.

* Who has made the Divine?

Himself.

* How long did it take to plan the universe? Who was there to execute it?

Nothing in advance. Everything immediately, directly, spontaneously, without any intermediary. The intervention of interme-diaries has mostly complicated matters rather than simplified. A rather long story to tell.

* * What is Consciousness?

When the Lord becomes conscious of Himself, the world is created. Consciousness is the breath that gives life to all.

* Sweet Mother, please tell me the meaning of “consciousness”.

Without consciousness you would not even know that you live.

* Consciousness is the faculty of becoming aware of anything through identification. The Divine Consciousness is not only aware but knows and effects. To become aware of a vibration, for instance, does not mean that you know everything about it.

* In the Divine Consciousness the smallest things from below unite with the highest, the most sublime from above.
