[...] There are deep veins of probable actions ever available to you at any given time. [...]

[...] The principle of right action and divine order govern my entire life. [...]

[...] He suggested that Dineen find herself a job, stop seeing psychics, and assert her own individuality and her own responsibility for action. [...]

[...] In her case Dineen gave up the responsibility for action and initiative, yet because one must act the reasons were assigned to another. [...]

[...] For some time, with her children grown, she had felt alone, unnecessary, denied the structure of vital action in which she had to care for her family earlier. [...]

[...] One group of muscles therefore were tensed for action, and the other group of muscles tried to stop the action. [...]

You must use mental images of mobility and action. [...]

(I showed Jane the list of questions I’ve been acquiring, at Seth’s own suggestion, and told her that one of them concerned the insurance situation — that I didn’t want to mess it up by demanding action from our lawyer, say. [...] I added that I couldn’t imagine the hospital not demanding action before this — yet they haven’t. Seth had said the question would be cleared up without any long wait.

When consciousness becomes overly exteriorized and no longer identifies strongly with nature, then it no longer properly identifies itself with the inner nature of its own actions. One’s own actions therefore seem to be as exteriorized, or apart from consciousness, as trees or rocks seem to be. [...]

[...] Love finds expression through the arts, religion, play, and helpful actions toward others. [...]

[...] Many natural artists in any field normally express love through such creative endeavors, rather than through sexual actions.

[...] To that extent in dreams you are “on hold,” involved with a range of action too wide to fit the contours of practical earth experience.

[...] At this moment the cells within your body know the life conditions of any place on the planet, and compute these, ascertaining the ways in which they require action on the body’s part. [...]

[...] The villains consisted of the following ideas: that the world is unsafe, and growing deadly; that the species itself is tainted by a deadly intent; that the individual has no power over his or her reality; that society or social conditions exist as things in themselves, and that their purposes run directly counter to the fulfillment of the individual; and lastly, that the end justifies the means, and that the action of any kind of god is powerless in the world.

[...] When you see evil everywhere in man’s intent — in your own actions and those of others — then you set yourself up against your own existence, and that of your kind. [...]

[...] The physical patterns are of course the results of inner ones, but the deliberate breaking of a physical pattern serves as a physical example that those patterns can indeed be broken, and helps break the exterior hypnotizing effects of continued repetitious action of a given kind.

Yet in the midst of these beliefs each individual seeks to find a context in which his or her life has meaning, a purpose which will rouse the self to action, a drama in whose theme private actions will have significance.

The psyche expresses itself through action, of course, but it carries behind it the thrust from which life springs, and it seeks the fulfillment of the individual — and it automatically attempts to produce a social climate or civilization that is productive and creative. [...]

[...] It may come to you later in altered form as a hunch or sudden intuition, or an urge for action. [...]

[...] His right hand also continues to improve, and he is doing a good job of reminding himself that it is safe for all of his limbs to straighten out in a normal manner — to stretch and flex and express their true capacity for motion and action.

Now, involving the performance on Ruburt’s part this evening, we have here once more another example of the nature in which action is changed by itself. For indeed, as it was possible for Ruburt to some slight degree to allow her friend to speak, nevertheless the action involved in the whole situation nevertheless changed not only Ruburt, but also necessarily changed her Father Trainor, in that any action of its own nature can never remain the same.

I want here, Joseph, to make one note for our own benefit, that should be included with our material on the nature of action, if indeed our two visitors will for a moment forgive me. [...]

There is an emotional action, Joseph, in this session that is important; for our sessions deal with many layers, and I regret that this one layer is at most times neglected. [...]

I would not, Joseph, take advantage, either of the hour, which is later, nor of you, nor Ruburt’s willingness this evening, if I did not know that the action so involved would more than repay you. [...]

[...] I thought of legal action, among other things. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The fact is that the processes necessary to the desired end are instantly put into action in Framework 2. There is immediate response in Framework 1, though it may not be apparent because the conscious mind is not always equipped to recognize significances that are outside its usual context.

(Driving home, I had misgivings about my actions in making the appointment without consulting Jane, but told myself I trusted my impulse and the working of Framework 2. I also felt that Jane would never see a doctor on her own. [...]

[...] He allowed his body, finally, to begin to demonstrate some action. [...]

[...] In deeper terms however no action is set beyond alteration. [...]

[...] Basically that portion of the psyche is outside of space and time, while enabling you to operate in it.⁴ It deals intimately with probabilities — (louder:) the source of all predictable action.

(She did the same thing again later this afternoon—but now she’s aware of what she’s doing, and the action has entered into her repertoire of motions on a daily basis.

The more extensive your knowledge, the more aware you are of probable actions, and of the conglomeration of choices that then become available. [...]

There are unpredictable levels of understanding that are the creative results of certain courses of action that you take. [...]
