The Early Sessions, Book 7

"There are several major root assumptions and many minor ones.

One: Energy and action are basically the same, although neither must necessarily apply to physical motion.

Two: All objects have their origin basically in mental action. Mental action is directed psychic energy.

Three: Permanence is not a matter of time. Existence has value in terms of intensities.

Four: Objects - this is four - are blocks of energy perceived in a highly specialized manner.

Five: Stability in time-sequence is not a prerequisite requirement for an object, except as a root assumption within the physical universe.

Six: Space as a barrier does not exist.

Seven: The spacious present is here more available to the perceptions.

Eight: The only barriers within inner reality are mental barriers, or psychic barriers."
