Action without horizon is the residual capacity to act according to the permanent measure after every collective horizon of higher order has been erased. The residual man continues to act from that measure even though the age offers no confirming future. The action itself remains intact. Only the collective horizons that once made its direction public have disappeared.
Young men who still feel the demand of a higher action often look for residual causes or residual movements that will supply the horizon from outside. Most of those movements have already been emptied by the horizontal forces that dominate the age. The residual path does not wait for external horizon. It continues as the permanent act from the interior center that still holds the vertical measure.
This solitary action is the residual form of the older traditional knowledge of right action. The man who continues to act from the measure already performs the residual act. That act does not require collective horizon to remain real.
Act. Do not wait for the age to restore conditions in which higher action is collectively oriented. The residual act is to keep the permanent measure decisive in every concrete decision. That decisiveness is the continuity of the higher type under residual conditions.
