There is a question of terminology. I would like to put a note at the beginning of the third volume of “Questions and Answers,” in which I say: “We found it fitting to begin this new volume with the Talk of February 29, 1956, because on that day, during the meditation that followed the class, there took place…” What?… “The first descent of the supramental forces into the Inconscient”?
(Mother shakes her head) It was: Light-Force and Power. And it wasn’t into the Inconscient, it was into the earth atmosphere.
Light-Consciousness-Power?
“Consciousness” is part of the totality, it will come later.
Supramental Light-Force-Power?
Yes.
And is the word “descent” right?
It’s “manifestation,” rather. The image was … (I can’t say there was “above” and “below,” that’s not how it was), it was the barrier being broken and the flow rushing forth.
It’s better to put “manifestation.”

(A little later, regarding the extraordinary clutter on Mother’s table:)
…That’s why I have so many things on my table. Someone gives me something, and there is in it a good thought, a force, something that puts me in contact with the person, so I leave it there on my table, to keep up the contact. All these things generally represent the contact with someone. So I keep it there (and of course, it also goes on increasing!). Sometimes, children (very young children) come; when the little ones see something, their eyes open quite wide, so I give it to them. And I always wonder (laughing) what will happen with what’s in the thing, what kind of circuit?!
(Mother holds Satprem’s hands in hers for a long time)
I make you all stride on very fast.
