Hi Marsha, Innumerable is pretty much the same thing, to me, so it also depends on how it is used. Do you mean "cannot be counted"? If it cannot be counted it cannot be defined, and we arrive at DQ which lies outside cause and effect. If it can be counted, then a better word would be "finite".
>From that quote below, the author speaks of "changing himself". Logically this form of change occurs outside of cause and effect as well. In this way the author is denying codependent arising. For "changing oneself" is like Immaculate Conception, something that does not abide by cause effect logic. Just wondering what your thoughts are on my opinions here.
