Note: causes = plural.
I have addressed this more than once. The complex of causes is most likely a mixture, which is why the individual could act this way or that way. It is the action of choosing - kamma - among viable options that is the determining condition.
Thank you for answering!
And it would be nice if you would do the same.
So just because there is a mixture of many trillions of complex interrelated causes doesn't alter the fact that this mixture of many trillions of complex interrelated causes is the cause for wholesome rather than unwholesome kamma to occur.
What?
"The action of choosing - kamma - among viable options" happens due to a mixture of many trillions of complex interrelated causes. When these many causes are, the specific result occurs. If these causes were absent, "The action of choosing - kamma - among viable options" would not occur or would be different in accordance with differences of causes.
If there are causes for X to occur, X occurs, never not-X. Tilt, Do you agree?
No. I really find your presntation a bit off. I am not going to accept your attempt at re-wording, and actually reframing, of what I clearly said.
causes = a mixture of many trillions of complex interrelated causes
You really don't get it, or you are just trying to be difficult.
X = "The action of choosing - kamma - among viable options" , or anything else
Damdifino what you are talking about here.
