[...] This more liberated self sees the situation much more clearly, suggests a given line of action (but does not order it), and informs the dreaming self. [...]

[...] The action of the inner ego within the wider sphere of Framework 2 explains many events and seeming coincidences that otherwise seem to make no sense within your world. [...]

Such an action would therefore appear to happen twice—once in your present, and once in your future, you see. [...]

[...] There you see yourself considering various courses of action. [...]

Then you feel as if you are the pawns of fate, and the idea of probable actions seems like the sheerest nonsense. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In that probable reality, to which each of you can belong to some extent, each person will recognize his or her inherent power of action and decision, and feel an individual sense of belonging with the physical world that springs up in response to individual desire and belief.⁷

[...] (Long pause.) God helps those who help themselves, may I say sardonically, is the belief behind such actions. [...]

This is a given characteristic of life, regardless of the beliefs that may lead you to misinterpret the actions of nature, casting some of its creatures in a reprehensible light.

(Besides the sessions on moment points, see those on the electrical field and on action—too numerous to list here.)

This, and all such effects, represent one of the most basic ways in which one action causes another action to change. [...]

[...] To me, a thought is an action. [...]
