Do you consider yourself an irresponsible person? No. So it's innately there, that responsibility. Innately that responsibility will function. Right. And if you were functioning or acting as an irresponsible being, there's no way in the world you could be responsible. Right. So you can't learn these things? Pardon? You can't learn these things? Well, if there's learning to be done, it won't be done by you. Or requiring, what I call it, all the learning that's happened to you, it hasn't been done by an entity. That's the whole thing. Are you not continually learning? Yes. There's continually learning going on. You require it, don't you? No. I get that.
I get that. Yeah. There's no learner there. See, the ING on it, the learning, is the actuality, the activity. The seeing is the actuality. Then you say I see. And you've created this pseudo-subject. I see the whatever it is, but you put a label on that and you've created the object. But they're both contained in the seeing. Seeing. And there couldn't be a seer without seeing. And there couldn't be the seeing without seeing. Same with experiencing. There couldn't be an experiencer without experiencing. There couldn't be an experience without experiencing. And thinking is the same way. There couldn't be a thinker without the thinking going. There couldn't be the thought.
So that's the actual. The ING gives it something that's happening in the immediacy of the moment, an activity that's going on right now. It's not something that was or will be. This is the actuality of this moment. This is the only living that can ever happen is right in this moment. You can't live a moment ago. You can recall a moment ago. When you're recalling it, you're recalling it in the now, in the immediate present. That's the only life it's got. It's not being recalled. You haven't thought about it, don't remember it. It's always recalled. And you can't live a moment in the future. You can imagine and anticipate the future that's going on out there.
That's all imagination and anticipation. But the actuality is right now. You still haven't lived this moment. So you see, you can plan. Plans will be made. It won't be you doing it. Plans will be made. But what can be done about it in this moment? It's not a matter of what you do. It's a matter of what you do. What you've done about it in this moment is done. It's let go to whatever it is that has carried out. And that'll be this moment also. Seeming choices will be made. There's no choice. Life goes on the way it always goes. But you need to understand and see that there is no entity there with any independent nature that has any power over self.
Because that's the cause of all your problems. And that's what happens. Instead of acting spontaneously and intuitively, what comes up? Something will come up and will say, No, I refer to the me of past memory. And I didn't do that last time and I don't like it. That loses the spontaneity. So you'll have to rely on that spontaneity. Intuitive function. Nothing knows better than what you and I do.
