subject of will

is not the cause of its own actions... instead actions make the character of the subject visible.

of Sufficient Ground, on which all its forms, including causality, are based, and if character lies outside of time, then it is clear that one can no longer talk of a causality of will. In place of the causal relationship between the subject of will and its actions a relationship which is independent of time is introduced that Schopenhauer calls 'visibility' or 'mirroring'. The subject of will is therefore no longer the cause of its own actions... instead actions make the character of the subject visible.
