Friends:

No Doer exists apart from Kamma & its Result!
In all kinds of becoming, generation, destiny, station and abode there can
only appear mentality-materiality, which occurs caused by previous kamma.
One cannot discover any doer over & above the activity of the doing itself!
There is neither any experiencer of the result apart from the result itself!
That we say 'doer', when actually there is 'doing', and 'experiencer' when
actually there is 'experiencing', is nothing more than linguistic convention.
Therefore the Ancient Elders said : There is no doer of a deed or any one
who reaps the deed's result. Impersonal phenomena alone arise and cease...
No other view than this is right. Only kamma & its result causally maintain
their round, just as seed and tree succeed in turn.  No first beginning can
be shown. Nor in the future round of births can any 'agent' ever be found!
Sectarians, not knowing this, fails to gain self-mastery, since they assume
a 'being', a 'person', a 'doer', an actor or agent, who performs the action..
The stream of craving carries them on, caught in the meshes of their views.
Since the stream thus carries them on, they are not freed from suffering.
A monk, disciple of the Buddha, with direct knowledge of this egolessness,
can penetrate this deep & subtle conditionality empty of any acting agency.
There is no kamma in result of kamma, nor does a result exist in the kamma.
Though they are void of one another, there is no fruit without the kamma...
Nor does the kamma still persist in the result it has produced. Kamma of its
fruit is void and no fruit exists yet in the kamma. Still the resulting fruit is
born from the kamma, wholly depending on this initiating & seeding kamma.
For there is no almighty God as creator of this revolving round of rebirths!
Phenomena alone flow on: Cause and effect. Components & their conditions.
Vism 603


Activities and their resulting traces is, but no actor or agency!

More on this counterintuitive impersonality of all states: No-Self (Anattā):
Ego-Projection, First I-dentification then Enmity!, Ego-Projection,
Who_or_what_is_the_Agent, The Egoless, The Anatta Doctrine,
I-dentification, No_Agent_is_Inside, Just_Passing_Bubbles
Empty_of_What, The_Smoke_of_Self, Neither_Agent_nor_Actor,
Experiencing_Egolessness, Cause_of_Identity_View, The_Selfless_Camera,
Input_'I'-dentification, No-Agent_but_Dependence, Anti-EGO-Tool,
We_Are_Not


Help me Out! "I" have been caught inside a Concept of Ego...

Have a nice day!

 
Friendship is the Greatest!
