And now I see no necessity why I should assigne any other _Author_ of
these _Ideas_ but _my self_; for if they are _false_, that is, represent
things that _are not_, I know by the _light_ of _nature_ that they
proceed from _nothing_; that is to say, I harbour them upon no other
account, but because my _nature_ is
_deficient_
in something, and
_imperfect_.
| Guess: |
defective |
| Question: |
Why does the author believe that they themselves are the source of these Ideas, and how does this relate to the concept of falsehood and their own nature being deficient and imperfect? |
| Answer: |
The author believes that they themselves are the source of these Ideas because they see no necessity to assign any other author to them. If the Ideas are false, meaning they represent things that do not exist, the author knows by the light of nature that they proceed from nothing, resulting from the deficiency and imperfection of their own nature. If the Ideas are true but have very little reality, the author still sees no reason why they should not be the author of these Ideas.
This relates to the concept of falsehood and their own nature being deficient and imperfect because they acknowledge that they might harbor false Ideas due to the limitations of their thoughts and understanding. Therefore, their nature is considered deficient and imperfect, as they are unable to perfectly perceive certain aspects of the world and represent them accurately in their Ideas. |

Why does the speaker emphasize "I" and express uncertainty in their persuasion of "any thing"? |
| Answer: |
The speaker emphasizes "I" and expresses uncertainty in their persuasion of "any thing" because they are trying to discern what is true and real about their existence. They admit that their natural inclinations have led them in the wrong direction in the past, so they feel that they cannot trust them completely. They are also aware of a powerful and crafty deceiver who constantly tries to deceive them. In response to all of this, the speaker focuses on their own existence and thoughts as the basis of understanding and certainty, while remaining cautious about their conclusions. |

| Question: |
Why does the author claim that it is against logic and the usual manner of speaking to conclude that a thinking thing is a corporeal being from the premise that we cannot conceive an act without its subject? |
| Answer: |
The author claims that it is against logic and the usual manner of speaking to conclude that a thinking thing is a corporeal being from the premise that we cannot conceive an act without its subject because such a conclusion goes against the common understanding of substance. The author states that the subjects of all acts are understood under the notion of substance or metaphysical matter, but not necessarily under the notion of bodies. Logic and common speech make a distinction between spiritual and corporeal substances, so jumping to the conclusion that a thinking thing is a corporeal being from the premise mentioned would be contrary to this established distinction. |

discourses

| Guess: |
|
| Question: |
Why does Shohet define sacrifice as a combination of ethical practices, moral orientations, and socializing discourses at various levels? |
| Answer: |
Shohet defines sacrifice as a combination of ethical practices, moral orientations, and socializing discourses at various levels because it is a concept that encompasses multiple aspects of human life and relationships. It is a set of ordinary ethical practices socialized in daily lives, sustained through community and state-level discourses, and manifested through the provisioning of material goods and care on behalf of others. Furthermore, the concept of sacrifice has ties with love, asymmetric reciprocity, and language socialization. This multifaceted nature of sacrifice requires that it be understood through various interconnected dimensions of human experiences and relationships, from the individual level to the larger societal context. |

Their body, mind, bones, and flesh have never lived following the Dharma, and so they are not in mutual accord with the Dharma. They do not receive and use it in harmony with the Dharma. This has been transmitted through founders of sects, teachers, and disciples for a long time, causing them to be disconnected from the true Dharma. |
