Now. Let us continue our discussion. I did not say that action was not motion. I want this clear. Action is motion, but not necessarily motion that is perceived in physical terms.

Your conception of time is dependent upon your perception of action, and that portion of action which you can perceive and appreciate. There is no doubt here that the intuitions can at times perceive action far more completely than can the intellect. And time, therefore, physical clock time, is much more alien to the intuitive self than it is to the intellectual self.

The ego attempts to break down action into smaller and smaller units. The intuitions try to perceive action as a whole. The ego breaks down for purposesof examination, the intuitions construct. Both the ego and the intuitions, in performing their functions, obviously create action. The self may of course be considered as a gestalt of action, perceived in a different manner by various levels of itself.

On one hand, basically, the self is limitless, both electromagnetically and because of the nature of action, which affects all other action. The self does not however proceed along straight lines, from a birth to a death. This is only the self that the ego perceives. Action cannot remain inactive or motionless, though the motion may not always be apparent.
