I am aware that you would prefer that I continue with my discussion upon action. But indeed we have here quite a practical application, and I intend to go into other earlier symptoms that should have, and did not, give you warning.

Ruburt sensed one in particular, and did indeed react in a manner that you found annoying. Ruburt’s feelings and lack of action as far as the publishing house was concerned left much to be desired, and in time his lack of action would have caused an unpleasant reaction on his own part. However he correctly, if subconsciously, interpreted your attitude toward the publishing house as being basically dangerous to you. And so it was.

Joy is the muscle of action, and without it there would be no action. If I speak strongly to you at times, it is because this tendency, while much less now than formerly, must be kept very well in control, Joseph.

When we have discussed further the nature of action, then we can delve further into these questions, for they involve thrusts of action, and are intimately connected with energy’s action upon itself.

The conditions of our sessions allow us, on the one hand, more freedom, and on the other hand more control. Also they add to the value of the sessions themselves. We will have much more to say concerning the limitless self, in connection with action.

I could indeed continue now along other lines. However I think it best that you retire for the evening. I did not neglect you, either, while you were ill, but the circumstances did not warrant a direct action on my part. I was here. I kept an inquiring, sometimes severe, sometimes amused, sometimes concerned, but always watchful eye upon the household.

And now my best regards to you both. I am glad that we resume our sessions once again. Ruburt had a vacation of sorts, but I will see that there is action enough for him now.
