Identity then, is action’s effect upon itself. Without identities action would be meaningless, for there would be nothing upon which action could act. Action must, therefore, of its very nature, of itself and from its own workings, create identities. Again, action and identity cannot be separated. This applies from the most simple to the most complex.

Action, having of itself, and because of its nature, formed identity, now also because of its nature would seem to destroy identity, since action must involve change. And any change would seem to threaten identity.

Inner vitality attempts therefore to materialize itself completely, and yet because of its very nature, with each materialization it increases itself, making the attempt impossible. This is the basic dilemma, from which all types of reality spring. This of course leads us to the necessity for further discussion concerning the nature of inner vitality itself.

In line with the statement that action necessarily changes that which it acts upon (in parentheses: which is basically itself), then it follows that the action involved in these sessions changes the nature of the sessions.

It is true, then, that another dimension has been added to our sessions, and I hope to instruct Ruburt along these lines of more direct perception as our sessions continue. I have told you that such developments could be expected. These are natural unfoldings, and such developments will occur according to their own nature, and in their own time. I expect that this latest one may involve of itself still another.
