基本解释

It is the Action that determines the course of action.
是 Action 决定动作的走向；
Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation - would have turned out better. (CET-6, 2005.1
因为他们所采取行动的结果不好，他们就相信相反的行动--把母亲留在家中，推迟手术--会有好结果。
Any region of the field that remains sour and does not harmonize enough will end up diseased or problematic in the physical unless one alters the course of action before it steps into physicality.
任何痛楚并无法和谐的场最后将导致疾病或在肉体上产生问题，除非你在它被召唤到肉体实相之前就采取行动改变。
