[AM] "Subliminal" I use here in a strictly etymological sense—sub limen, up to the lintel.

O Bhikshus, the uncreated, the invisible, the unmade, the elementary, the unproduced, exists (as well as) the created, the visible, the made, the conceivable, the compound, the produced; and there is an uninterrupted connection between the two.
II.
O Bhikshus, if the uncreated, the invisible, the unmade, the elementary, the unproduced was nonentity, I could not say that the result of their connection from cause to effect with the created, the visible, the made, the compound, the conceivable, was final emancipation.
III.
O Bhikshus, it is because of the real existence of the uncreated, the invisible, the elementary, the unproduced, that I say that the result of their connection from cause to effect with the created, the visible, the made, the compound, the conceivable, is final emancipation.—(Verses from the Buddhist Canon, translated from the Thibetan of the Bkah-hgyur, by W. Woodville Rockhill.)
[AO] "Sankhara is both the preparation and the prepared.... To the Buddhist mind the made has existence only and solely in the process of being made; whatever is is not so much a something which is as the process rather of a being, self-generating, and self-again-consuming" (Oldenberg).
