          In the above dialogue from L’Agenda de Mère, Vol.8, pp.438-9, the Mother reveals just how this language is used to transmit knowledge from another plane before it is fully manifested here; or how it is preserved across time and space for Initiates who are to appear and will need this message at a given moment for the precision demanded in a Supramental Creation. Indeed, the precision of the vision, as in so many other instances involving the Mother’s exemplary capacities, is simply remarkable.
          However, to comprehend what the Mother was not in a position to disclose at that time, one has to be familiar with the alphabet this ‘sphinx’ and all the others employed. The eternal element resides in the fact that this sacred alphabet has been with us for as long as the Earth has memory. It is the cosmic script that Traditions across the globe have preserved and passed down through the long line of Initiates who have been entrusted with safeguarding this hallowed language for humanity insofar as it is central to its evolutionary purpose.
          The Rig Veda abounds in this symbol/language. Indeed, without an understanding of this Script, exactly as it has come down to us across the ages, little cosmic sense can be made of the text. In fact, this is the position today. Disconnection from the eternal script is so total that even when the evidence of its presence in the text is unquestionably established, scholars refuse to accept the facts. We are a civilisation totally cut off from the Cosmic Womb. We may explore space, we may send robots to Mars in a dazzling display of our technological triumphs, but without that Language and its connectedness, the oneness it fosters in our consciousness, these exploits are meaningless. Or rather, they bear no intrinsic purpose that helps us understand why we are here on this third planet from the Sun, and, above all, where evolution is taking us. Perhaps the only time the Earth has been so totally cut off from the family she is a part of is now. Our recorded history provides the proof.
          It was very different in ages gone by. Oneness was a keyword. The solar system, for example, was a single entity. It sang to us its harmonies, its cosmic music. The notes were provided by these sacred aids. That is, there was and is an annotation like a musical score. The zodiac is one such key.
          With the zodiac, when its symbols are revealed by Initiates, the Mother’s ‘strange being’ is a living document of a supramental process. Two figures are employed and they are taken directly from the cosmic Script: Leo (the Lion’s head) and Sagittarius (the Horse’s body). With initiation into these sacred mysteries the Mother’s vision is crystal clear; there can be no speculation, no guessing, - above all, the enormity of this simple and apparently modest act of seeing is revealed.
    Symbols have always been employed in this manner because in a single image sometimes an entire body of higher knowledge can be transmitted; or preserved for future times, as the case may be. To illustrate, The Apocalypse of St John the divine transmits the very same knowledge as the Mother sought to do, utilising the same eternal language: 

    7. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the
    third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. (Chapter 12, 7.) 

          The ‘beast’ of John’s vision is formed of the Fixed Signs of the zodiac, those of Vishnu the Preserver: Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio (Eagle). The preservation of this particular section of the 12-part zodiac has always been prominent for Initiates because of the singular importance their respective astrological ages indicate for the Earth.
