Action is only coarsened thought-thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.

3 C.04 Thought And Action
From birth we clearly see,
We act then think clearly,
From birth immersed in action be,
Then through though guide it fitfully. [1]
Thought without action no result be,
Action without thought nothing be,
Thought and action should together be,
Best interpreters of thought - action be. [2]

The images attempt to capture scientific thought. They represent the physical manifestation of the thought process. Everything in the laboratory is a product of a stream of conscious or unconscious thought.

Character isn't inherited. One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action. If one lets fear or hate or anger take possession of the mind, they become self-forged chains.

A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.

Never Stop Praying!
i do not stop to pray anymore!
i just never stop praying....
every thought, every action,
every desire, every mistake,
every footstep taken...
whether forward or backward,
a human prayer,
..........conscious,
..............or unconscious,
to the God of both light and shadow!

Cultural Prophets
Cultural prophets observing nonstop,
That which appears...
Disconnected from a thought process.
Are not too willing to converse,
With those unconscious.
Those professing to take steps to the right...
To declare those stepping to the left,
As idealists unable to conform to the norm.
Although that 'norm' has brought upon much duress.
Cultural prophets observing nonstop,
That which appears...
Disconnected from a thought process.
Are not too willing to converse,
With those unconscious.
Since the ones who are unconscious...
Can not accept the mess they've left.
To address with a correcting of it.

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

Solidify
Pouring in and around the great wellspring
Of simple feeling
And I need bearings in the face of your
Cool cool fire
Walking backwards with the pounding of your voice
Makes my soul tired
And concrete is
As concrete doesn't
And voices can drown
Why should I [4 times]
Solidify
Make me real
So you can see me
I guess you thought
I'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and
Make ice for you
You thought I'd seed my clouds
With the rain of your personal dreams
I guess you thought I'd throw confetti
At your parade of lofty thoughts
I guess you thought I'd shine good morning
In some good morning Jack
Surprise
Why should I [4 times]
Solidify
Make me real
So you can see me

Relation - All day to come
I want only emotion
Out of emotion
I can form thought
And from thought
I can start action.
Action with devotion
I will get my promotion
And I can make with you
A direct relation
The relation all day to come.

Then I Met You
Then I met you
Thought that Id be happy
Going to be so happy
Living life alone and never sharing anything
Thought that I was finished
Thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole instead of being half of something
Thought that I was growing
Growing older, wiser
Understanding why this world held nothing for my spirit
Thought that I was destined
Destined to be nothing
Destined to be nothing in this world and then I met you.
I met you
Thought that God had failed me
Thought my prayers were useless
Thought that he would never give the chance for me to praise him
Thought the book was written
Thought the game had ended
Thought the song was sung and I could never sing another
Thought my faith was misplaced
Thought my back was broken
Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry
Thought I knew this city
Thought I knew all about it
And then one night I went to morningside and you were waiting
I met you

On The Street
I saw you walking down the street with him
You know I almost couldve died
I didnt know you had a second friend
I never thought you woulda lied
I guess somebody else has knocked upon your door
See somebody elses socks lying on your floor
And I saw you on street with him
You know I almost coulda died
I never said that I was all that choice
I never said I was a dream
I didnt think youd pull that second voice
It seems a little too cheap
I see somebody elses smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda died
I didnt know you had another man, I didnt know,
I thought I was in
I didnt know you had another plan, I didnt know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong
I see somebody elses smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda died
I didnt know you had another man, I didnt know,
I thought I was in
I didnt know you had another plan, I didnt know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong

Prescribed Thought A Prescribed Mode Of Action
There is no such a thing
There is no such a thing as a most natural way
There is no such a thing as a most natural way of expressing a thought
There is no such a thing as a most natural way of expressing a thought a mode of action
There is no such a thing as a most natural way of expressing a thought a mode of action a form of logic
After so much thought
After so much thought about loneliness
It becomes apparent
Logic can no longer be relied upon
Logic can no longer be relied upon as a base for studying the structure of language
The structure of my poetry
The structure of my soul
The structure of my God
I dare think
I dare to know
I dare to think
I will not be hardwired from the thinking of my birth rising from some dogmatic slumber.

Of God he would not speak.
I thought that he'd believe
though of God he would not speak.
I thought with God he'd stand,
though he'd miss him every week.
I thought that God'd be real
to the man I learned to love.
I thought that he'd see reason
that there's a creator up above.
I thought I'd always knew.
I'd had my suspicions anyway.
I thought that knowledge beforehand
would've stopped truth from darkening my day.
Trapeze
can't believe she fell
the silence was unnerving
the crowd began to yell
was the thought of her returning
so you never knew him well
but you know what you've been seeing
these images of guilt
and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
as desperate as you felt
were you strong enough to leave him
oh you need to know him well
he's an angry acrobat
so you struggle with the will
with the will that you've been seeing
these images of guilt and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
can't believe she fell
well it happened in a turning
struggle with the will but the thought
of this the thought of this
