Creation Starts With An Action-Event

Creation Starts With An Action-Event

All creation is constant, and physical reality is formed and maintained in mental realms, sparked by psychic 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 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.

This does not mean that such ideas are necessarily valid, you see, but in your system they certainly appear as such, due to the intensity with which they are held.  This intensity brings forth the corresponding physical materialization which the senses then perceive, and the circle become complete.

The materialization is dependent upon the thought intensity behind it.  If wars are considered inevitable, you see, there will be wars.  If death is considered the end of all, then for all practical purposes individuals in physical life will behave as if this were indeed the case.

Now: conversely, if you do not accept the idea of reincarnation, this does not mean that reincarnation is not a fact.  It does mean that this insufficient energy will keep this reality at such a low ebb that it will not sufficiently materialize as an event within your system.  For the egotistical self it will be a nonfact and the physical senses will of course find no sense data to confirm reincarnation.

I mentioned long past that creativity continued to operate in a work of art long after its physical completion.  The intensity that first generated, say, a painting, continues to operate and there is new creation sparked in the interchange between such a painting and each observer of it.

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.

Never think of it as static.  There is constant give and take between all portions of the self, and the entity changes as it interacts with other levels of the personality.  Any given thought experienced by you is experienced by all possible you-selves, though in various forms.

A thought experienced by you is also experienced by your probable selves, you see, in one way or another.  They will react in their characteristic way, and experience the thought in their own manner, which may be quite different than your own.

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.

I am trying here to get a rather complicated idea through to you, but we have not sufficiently broken it down yet.  Take a break and we shall see what we can do.  I will try to break it down while his mind is momentarily otherwise engaged.

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 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.

You sent vital healing energy and resolution to his physical body, and the heat he felt was the result of this energy.  The feeling had built up in you to help him.  The rubbing expressed this feeling from you, and then acted directly on a sense-data level which both of you needed at the time to confirm what was an inner experience.

Much of man’s creativity is expressed directly through his hands, and for this reason they are often used in healing experiences.  They have a significance intuitively felt by the inner self.

When Ruburt is involved in activity and his mind directed elsewhere, away from his symptoms, then his symptoms are greatly minimized, and at times disappear.  This represents a good amount of development on his part, since earlier he found it difficult to address himself to activity.

When he ceases activity however, he has a tendency to activate the symptoms rather than direct his attention elsewhere.  The letup of physical activity is not the issue, though he thinks it is at the end of the day.  An exciting conversation, an exciting inner mental activity serves well to divert him.  A series of such lapses accentuate the condition of course.  Then he uses his book and suggestions to clear the air and begins again anew.

The overall improvement is definite.

We will end our session.  My heartiest wishes to you both.  One small word: your hands the other evening served, of course, as a bridge of understanding and constructive understanding, correctly applied: that is, a constructive help not an over-anxious sympathy nor implied accusation.  And now again, good evening.
