[...] He got up this morning because you did not expect him to, and he could act spontaneously—surprise you and delight himself. [...]

[...] Both of you have been making adjustments since our last two sessions, and in a way Ruburt’s knees represented the same kind of problem as your symptoms—matters brought to the head, and yet not acted upon.

[...] All planes of existence have their being in the spacious present, and all fragment dramas are acted at the same time.

[...] To do so it chooses between actions, for the very choice, or act of choosing, and ability to do so, represents the nature of identity. [...]

[...] He was thirty-three at the time and had been caught in an act of, shall we say, indiscretion, for which he was severely and unjustly beaten. [...]

[...] But as a rule, you act upon such data without the knowledge of the ordinary conscious self.

Left alone, the self acts spontaneously as a unit, but as an ever-changing one. [...]

[...] Also, Seth Two had usually expressed “itself” in the singular, whereas tonight’s material was coming through under the plural “we”:) “All con-scious-ness has as-pects that are act-i-va-ted and ex-pressed in all idi-oms or real-i-ties. [...]

[...] Now as with atoms alone, and all other such structures, these also exist as sound.¹⁰ Black holes and white holes do also.¹¹ The sounds are actually characteristics that act as cohesivies, characteristics automatically given off. [...]

[...] Even the simple act of writing was becoming increasingly difficult for her.¹ On December 4 I sent back to our publisher the corrected copy-edited manuscript for God of Jane. [...]

[...] And those acts of ours, I thought, while so small compared to the national dramas being enacted, actually were our contribution to those great plays. [...]

[...] Once again I recalled Seth’s statement in Chapter 5 of Dreams, in Volume 1. See Session 899 for February 6, 1980: “But the purpose of your life, and each life, is in its being (intently).
