The Mind of the Cells or Willed Mutation of Our Species

by Satprem, Francine Mahak (Translator), Luc Venet (Translator)

Four and a half billion members of Homo sapiens are in the process of learning the futility of their ways of existence, just as one day some fish learned the futility of their gills on dry land, and evolved into amphibians. If those fish had sought to improve their aquatic Science, devised new fills and new philosophies, they would have been completely beside the point. Now the question is whether we will find the WAY, not to improve the human suffocation, but to be and live otherwise on this earth. Is there within this human body a handle, a lever, that would enable us to change our way of being on earth, just as the first mental vibration some three million years ago paved the way for Einstein and the Boeing 747? What vibration? Where, in the body? Could it be that the primary form of living matter, the cell, holds a power of consciousness or a "vibratory mode" capable of making all our present mental devices and pointless artifices obsolete? In other words, a Mind of the Cells which will open up to us new sources of energy, new methods of communication, a new power to handle matter. A new biology and a new consciousness which will enable us to face the challenge of a species on its way to self-destruction. Such is the incredible discovery of Sri Aurobindo and Mother in the cells of the body, at a time when the earth is suffocating. For "Salvation is physical," said Mother, who, at the age of eighty, dared to knock at the last door in the body, and who made the most extraordinary discovery since Darwin.

This is a very beautiful book with a deep sense of awareness of the nature of life itself. I had to read it very slowly over a long period of time, as it is quite a lot to absorb. I'm glad I did. It changed my perspective on life deeply. I'm very grateful to Satprem and The Mother for sharing these teachings with us all.

Transform your thoughts and embrace love as a way of life. Your souls dance is one of great joy and by acknowledging its beauty you foster the awakening spirit and create positive outcomes in all aspects of life. The essence of being alive is to live like you mean it and transform limiting beliefs. By doing so you inspire the heart which will in return guide you along a path of bliss to a happy and passionate life.

‘Salvation is physical,’ declared the Mother. And she demanded to know: Why did the spiritual teachers of the past all seek liberation by abandoning their body? Why did they talk of Nirvana as something outside the body? ‘The body is a very, very simple thing, very childlike,’ said the Mother. ‘It does not need to “seek” anything: it’s THERE. And it wonders why men never knew of this from the start: why, but why did they go after all sorts of things—religions, gods, and all those . . . sorts of things? While it is so simple! So simple! It’s so obvious for the body!’

This sums up how different was this book from all other books on the subject, do read Biology of enlightenment, as if it is a sequel to this book
