The Veil of the Concept of the Gunas / 119
Wolinsky: Where is the concept called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of I am, which
believes in the concept of pure reason?
Student: My head.
Wolinsky: Ask the concept called “my” consciousness, which
believes in the concept called I am, to define the
concept of pure reason.
Student: A pure rational thought based on rational thinking
and theories that yield conclusions.
Wolinsky: What assumptions about the concept of pure
reason have been made by the concept called
“my” consciousness, which believes in the concept
called I am?
Student: That everything has reasons, causes, and an underlying
rationale, which, if you understand or
are in tune with it, brings about very predictable
results.
Wolinsky: And, right now, “where” is this concept called
“my” consciousness, which believes in the concept
of I am, which believes in the concept of
pure reason?
Student: Still in the head, in my intellect.
Wolinsky: And what have been the consequences for the
concept called “my” consciousness, which believes
in the concept of I am, which believes in
the concept of pure reason?
Student: The I am seeks out and has a rationale, which
explains and justifies everything.
Wolinsky: What happens to the concept called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of I
am, which believes in the concept of pure reason
