There are many implications here, and now perhaps you can understand why I gave you the information on the nature of action before I introduced you to the inverted time system. For action is action whether or not you perceive it, and probable events are events whether or not you perceive them as such.

Thoughts are indeed events therefore. Wishes and desires are events. As you know, wishes and desires also influence those actions which will be perceived by you as actual events in the physical universe. The human system responds fully as much to these events as it does to physical events. In the dream state often portions of these probable events are experienced in a semiconscious manner. This amounts to a bleed-through, and I use the term purposely, for your recorder can serve us here in an analogy.

None of these portions of the self are the whole self, obviously, and until the whole self is able to perceive its own parts simultaneously, then these seemingly separate portions of the self appear to themselves isolated to a large degree, and alone.

Now. Take for example probable event X. This so-called probable event or action will be experienced by the various portions of the self in their own way. When it is experienced by the ego you call it an actual physical event. When the event is perceived or experienced by other layers of the self, the ego does not know of it.

The event is actual all the same, and is experienced in variation. The whole self therefore perceives and is affected by probabilities, and experiences these as action, regardless of whether or not the ego has chosen to accept any given event as a physical occurrence.

There is a chameleonlike characteristic, a continuity, not in terms of successive moments, but a continuity in terms of design. Events are perceived in what would seem a most alien manner to the ego. The probabilities are traveled through, so to speak. Identity or continuity of the self is retained and strengthened in a series of simultaneous events, with value fulfillment foremost insofar as purposeful action is concerned.
