B 3.2 The context in which to “ACT”.
3.2 The context in which to Act.
To effect the transformation successfully within a hundred days, you need a context within which you can operate meaningfully, to guide you through the many choices you make each day. To attain the psychological stage of enlightenment you need give your allegiance to no force outside yourself. Remember the teachings within the context of Act:
Act according to your intuition
Set face to face with reality, when you are experiencing reality directly, each moment offers you a choice. As you choose or fail to choose, so you create your karma. Follow the still small voice of your intuition.
Don’t interfere
Each one of us is an integral and organic component of reality. By interfering, you choose to act against the flow of reality. Allow reality to unfold both within yourself and externally.
Just let things happen
To live in the flow of reality is to experience your life with clarity, serenity and a quiet fulfilling joy. This is the path to integrating your awareness into reality – this is the path to experiencing your life in the fulness of reality. Learn to accept reality as it unfolds.
This teaching on Act is the key to the process of enlightenment, the secret of the golden flower. To live in accordance with these teachings is to experience your life as a dynamically unfolding process. But first you must learn to be passive in the face of reality. Learn actively to accept your ordinary day-to-day reality in its utter fulness.
The measure of how close you are to attaining the psychological stage of enlightenment is the extent to which you are able to understand the experiences of your life in the terms of these teachings while fitting your behaviour within the constructs of Act. As you develop, your intuitive awareness of time will unfold – you will gradually lose the illusory sense of past, present and future; gradually you will gain the ability to live in the ever-present now. Finally, you will be free from the burden of the past, free at last from the psychological burdens which you have carried for so long.

I’m having trouble with the concept of not interfering and don’t fully understand. If someone is in trouble/needs help eg in an emergency/medically, surely we “interfere”. Never to interfere sounds as if we should be totally fatalistic and never help ourselves or others.
I understand that we should not impose our will on others (although we do this a lot with children) but in simply living our lives we are constantly interacting/interfering with others. I would welcome comments on this as I feel confused/haven’t understood correctly. Thankyou in advance of your response – Anne Hynes
Hi Anne,
thanks for this.
One of the things you will notice about this system is that it is internally coherent. So many of the concepts are dealt with throughout the book, and this means it is tricky to know exactly where to find previous queries….
I have revisited this and moved my reply to a forum post here:
