(And finally Mother burst out :)

I wish that all these copies distorting ridiculously an interesting experience should be withdrawn from circulation and replaced by a quiet silence which is the only proper attitude.

ADDENDUM

(Extracts from Mother's Agenda 30 October and November 3,1965 regarding the comet Ikeya-Seki)

Something amusing has happened. You know that there is a new comet?... This morning around four, I saw the comet, and suddenly I found myself in a state above the earth, and I saw a being who seemed to be associated with this comet. He had red hair (but not an aggressive red), a white body, but not pure white: a golden white, as if he were naked, but he didn't give an impression of being naked, or of wearing any clothes either (I have noticed this several times already), sexless — neither man nor woman. And it was a young being, charming, full of a sort of joy ... and he was spreading in the earth atmosphere a sort of substance that was heavier than Matter — not heavier, but denser — and jelly-like. It was as though he had taken advantage of the comet passing near the earth to spread that substance. And at the same time, I was told it was “to help for the transformation of the earth.” And he showed me how to make that substance circulate in the atmosphere.

It was charming: a young being, full of joy, as if dancing, and spreading that substance everywhere.

It lasted a long time. For several hours I remained in it.

The other day I told you about that comet, and something amusing has happened. Just for fun I said to myself, “Oh, it would be quite interesting to see this comet as it can be seen through the most powerful telescope ever invented.” And barely had the thought come (it was last night) when I heard, “Look.” So I opened my eyes, and I saw the comet, big like this, very big, as it could be seen with the most powerful telescope, quite bright, with its tail ! And the interesting thing was that just beside it (not like the comet's tail, but just next to it), there was a star, a sort of star, but quite small, and very bright, which seemed to me of a very peculiar interest.

And the effect is going on. That substance I told you about is still acting in the earth atmosphere.
