Student: Doing is the way; that it was the doer doing, not
the I am’s reflection.
Wolinsky: How has this concept called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of I am, which
believes in the concept of an “I” doing, deceived
itself?
Student: By teaching that it can have whatever it wants
if it does.
Wolinsky: How has this concept called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of I am, which
believes in the concept of an “I” doing, tried to
control itself?
Student: If it controls itself, it will “get” from the doing,
that there is an individual doing.
Wolinsky: And if these were just concepts, which belonged
to the concept called “my” consciousness, which
believes in the concept of I am, which believes
in the concept of an “I” doing, and they had
nothing to do with anything, . . .then?
Student: _______Blank_______(silence).
Wolinsky: What is this concept, called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of I am, which
believes in the concept of an “I” doing, unwilling
to communicate about or experience?
Student: That it is not the doer—that there is no doer.
