Neutrally positive positively neutral
Sushmita Mukherjee
Abstract
“Our Centre is neutrally positive, positively neutral — a positive without any negative.” What to
make of this, a received flash? Is it an intuitive dawning or an intellectual arrival, at that moment,
rising as a hitherto unseen and unrealised dimension and expansion as the received? The query
arises, maybe because of many reasons, of which, two are prominent. One being the ‘human’
tendency to be always ‘right’, and another, which makes its presence felt as the yearning to be
ever guided by the ‘highest order’, the Will of the Divine, the Centre, yearning for the constant
conscious reception and transmission as per the Central Will — more so, when one has even once,
however fleetingly, experienced the Guidance…
The context that forms the flash is the ‘centre to dominate, whereby the electron is stopped
of an atom’, not different from the Centre and from flying away! It is kind of a dynamic

which, countering this force of attraction to the positively charged proton in the nucleus
