world.”
48) Since all that happens to you is due to your past
bad or good actions, etc., it’s your fault if you

control things.

or perfected person and achieve perfection
and virtue.

56) “Somehow” you can work on yourself to perfect
the body and make it immortal.

exists as a stream or
process; that noumena is active and weaves experiences.
