It seems to me that there are a fair number who have left because of that, like Bejoy, Nolinbehari etc. and others who fell in the same way, e.g. X. And yet that was not a full descent, but only a very little bit of a thing.
Not altogether, but the higher peace and silence has to come down fully and not merely remain above — so the other contents of the higher consciousness may have a chance of descending too and stabilising themselves.
That is its proper working, but if the ego is not rejected, then the wrong use may take place.
It is very stupid of these parts to be tired of Peace. Would restlessness be better? Without Peace either Force cannot descend or it would be a mixed or Asuric force.
It must be the pressure of the Force present there which you feel at that moment because of some shifting of the consciousness at the moment of preparing to go.
If the development of a higher consciousness did not bring things that were not before heard of by the mind, it would not be good for much...
