There’s some news of P.L. He is a bit discouraged. You know that
he had been excluded from the Pope’s retinue just as the Pope
was to make a speech in Geneva on "Christian unity" with the
Protestants. So P.L. writes, "I started writing to you several
times, but could not manage to end my letters. After the huge
effort made to infuse the sentiments of openness that Mother had
inspired me with, just as the Pope accepted to refrain from pro
claiming himself as the ‘Sole’ possessor of the Truth and to put
himself at the same level as the other creeds, Reaction had the
upper hand and everything has remained as before ….
That’s it.
" … At the last minute, the paragraphs in the speech were changed."
That’s it. And that’s why they didn’t let him go.
It’s the same thing going on here, I see it clearly: there was that movement of the Consciousness which wanted to bring about a general progress-and all those who want to pull backward pull as hard as they can.
And they don’t even realize what they are doing.
It’s so small, so small.
