Now: All creation is constant, and physical reality is formed and maintained in mental realms, sparked by psychic (pause) experiences. These inner events are the results of action’s own characteristics. Action continually working upon itself creates more action.

Initially this is mental action, an action-event. This action-event will then affect all other events, spiral inward and outward in all possible dimensions, and may be perceived in these dimensions in quite a different form from its original nature. In each system it can only be perceived according to the camouflage patterns inherent there.

This physical room and this particular moment within this room all exist simultaneously in other systems, though they may or may not appear in the same form. The energy generated in sparking a given action-event is never lost. Some is retained by the initial materialization, and by the succeeding ones. The term succeeding is used as a matter of simplicity. You know what is meant.

All of these forms, however, are you understand spontaneous and instantaneous. In the same way that an idea may appear within your system as a thought, a mental image, a dream picture or as a physical object, so does any action-event appear in many forms.

Your psychological life is dependent upon your ability to perceive and react to such action-events. Your reaction, of course, creates new ones. Your identity, your inner self, is a main action-event, forming other such events that are the various portions of your personality.

There are both private and mass action-events, all of these being physically materialized within your system. Creation, then, continues constantly and each consciousness has its part to play. The interwoven working of telepathic communications lends itself to mass patterns. Many individuals reacting to a given event may do so by combining their energy to produce one major action-event in response.

Such mass materializations gain tremendous emotional force, and seemingly sweep aside any conflicting actions. Great movements in history are an example here. Certain ideas also are agreed upon and held so intensely that they mold much of physical activity simply because of the strong mental and psychic energy they engender.

The resulting thoughts and images in turn are expressed and affect others, and not only symbolically. As you should know, mental acts have an electromagnetic reality which directly affects the inner self, which directly forms the constantly changing nature of the inner self. For the inner self is, after all, composed of mental actions, and the entity itself is everchanging.

The thought may be rejected, but there will be something to reject. The thought may be relatively meaningless to any given probable self and it may be very fleeting. The probable selves in one way or another will react, forming other action-events. Constant creativity applies to every system, then, and what you create in one system has its effects in other systems also.

Your physical image and your environment are exterior materializations that represent your interior action-events at any given time. These are observed by the physical senses of yourself and others. You can therefore check your inner status by observing your outer status. Such checking always involves action, however, that already changes that which is perceived. All of these seeming separate actions belong together, you see, and occur at once. (Pause, long.)

We will, instead, begin our next session with this material and for now I have a few comments to make. When you rubbed our friend’s (Jane’s) back the other evening, you did indeed improve his condition. This was not basically because of the physical action involved, though in this case the physical actions were necessary for your own expression.
