“Indeed, entities not even classified as organs of the state may still be imputable, when they are otherwise empowered to exercise elements of governmental authority, and act in that capacity in a particular instance.”
“Thus, to cognize the “not-yet-happening of the result,” we must rely on actual simultaneous cognition of the presently-happening mental continuum on which is imputable the karmic tendency for the result that has, imputably knowable on it, a “facet of temporarily not giving rise to its result.””
“So long as this absence is imputable on the mental continuum, this absence is a fact that does not change: the result is not happening now.”
“Thus, the “karmic tendency for the result, which is temporarily not giving rise to its result,” and which is imputable on the mental continuum, is the basis for labeling the “not-yet-happening of the result on the mental continuum,” but it is not its basis for negation.”
“During the temporal interval of a karmic impulse, a karmic action, a karmic tendency, and a karmic result all occurring on an individual mental continuum, there is also imputable on that mental continuum the “not-yet-happening of the result.””
“But, even if there is an “absence of the ‘present-happening of the result’ on the mental continuum,” there can only be a “not-yet-happening of the result on that mental continuum” if there is also imputable on that mental continuum a “karmic tendency for that result, which is temporarily not giving rise to its result.””
“Thus, at the time of the “karmic tendency, which is presently happening,” if, as an arya bodhisattva, we were validly cognizing that karmic tendency, we would also be validly cognizing the mere “me” on which that karmic tendency was imputable and a moment of the five aggregates on which that mere “me” was imputable.”
