I can transmit a state of consciousness more
easily to a flower than to a man: it is very
receptive, though it does not know how to
formulate its experience to itself because it
lacks a mind. But the pure psychic consciousness
is instinctive to it.
When, therefore, you offer
flowers to me their condition is almost always an
index to yours. There are persons who never
succeed in bringing a fresh flower to me - even if
the flower is fresh it becomes limp in their
hands. Others, however, always bring fresh flowers
and even revitalise drooping ones. If your
aspiration is strong your flower-offerings will be
fresh. And if you are receptive you will be also
very easily able to absorb the message I put in
the flowers I give you.
When I give them, I give
you states of consciousness; the flowers are the
mediums and it all depends on your receptivity
whether they are effective or not.
When I give flowers, it is as an answer to the
aspiration coming from the very depths of your
being. It is a need or an aspiration, it depends
upon the person. It may fill a void or else give
you the impetus to progress, or it may help you
find the inner harmony in order to establish
peace.
Flowers-are extremely receptive. All the
flowers to which I have given a significance
receive exactly the force I put into them and
transmit it. People don't always receive it
because most of the time they are less receptive
than the flowers, and, they waste the force that
has been put in it through their unconsciousness
and lack of receptivity. But the force is there,
and the flower receives it wonderfully.
I knew this a very long time ago. Fifty years
ago.... There was that occultist who later gave me
lessons in occultism for two years. His wife was a
wonderful clairvoyant and had an absolutely
remarkable capacity - precisely - of transmitting
forces.
They lived in Tlemcen. I was in Paris. I used
to correspond with them. I had not yet met them at
all. And then, one day, she sent me in a letter
petals of the pomegranate flower, "Divine's Love".
At that time I had not given the meaning to the
flower. She sent me petals of pomegranate flowers
telling me that these petals were bringing me her
protection and force.
Now, at that time I used to wear my watch on a
chain. Wrist-watches were not known then or there
were very few. And there was also a small
eighteenth century magnifying glass... it was
quite small, as large as this (gesture).... And it
had two lenses, you see, like' all
reading-glasses; there were two lenses mounted on
a small golden frame, and it was hanging from my
chain. Now, between the two glasses I put these
petals and I used to carry this about with me
always because I wanted to keep it with me; you
see, I trusted this lady and knew she had power. I
wanted to keep this with me, and I always felt a
kind of energy, warmth, confidence, force which
came from that thing.... I did not think about it,
you see, but I felt it like that.
And then, one day, suddenly I felt quite
depleted, as though a support that was there had
gone. Something very unpleasant. I said, "It is
strange; what has happened? Nothing really
unpleasant has happened to me. Why do I feel like
this, so empty, emptied of energy?" And in the
evening, when I took off my watch and chain, I
noticed that one of the small glasses had come off
and all the petals were gone. There was not one
petal left. Then I really knew that they carried a
considerable charge of power, for I had felt the
difference without even knowing the reason. I
didn't know the reason and yet it had made a
considerable difference. So it was after this that
I saw how one could use flowers by charging them
with forces. They are extremely receptive.
