Namah Awakening the consciousness of matter
This is the problem which confronts us now. With the addition, the new help of this Force
which has descended, which is manifesting, working, why shouldn’t one take in hand this
tremendous game and make it more beautiful, more harmonious, more true?
It only needs brains powerful enough to receive this Force and formulate the possible
course of action. There must be conscious beings powerful enough to convince Nature
that there are other methods than hers.... This looks like madness, but all new things have
always seemed like madness before they became realities.
The hour has come for this madness to be realised. And since we are all here for reasons
that are perhaps unknown to most of you, but are still very conscious reasons, we may set
ourselves to fulfil that madness — at least it will be worthwhile living it.
