You Are Not Book.indb - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

Beyond the Blankness / 139
Wolinsky: Now if the “awarer” moved its awareness a little
bit further out to where it ends, is there anything
else after that?
Note:
The “understanding” must be communicated with
very subtle language. Here, we are not suspecting that
“you” have awareness that you can move; rather, there
is an “awarer” that has awareness, and it is the “awarer”
that moves or “sees”; you do not. You are neither the
“awarer” nor awareness. You are beyond the “awarer”
and ARE NOT.
Student: It’s something like a blank box.
Wolinsky: If the “awarer” moves its awareness further out,
is this blank thing floating in something?
Student: It goes up in the middle and then it’s now bright.
Wolinsky: So there’s this blank thing here, and then as
“you” go a little further out there’s an expansion
outside of it, but the blank thing is still in the
middle, correct?
Student: Yeah, the blankness is like a blank box in the
middle of this bright thing.
Note:
As the “awarer,” which is not you, expands its (not your)
awareness, the consciousness, which the nothingness
is floating in, is like a still point or a spot still within
consciousness. As we will see, as this develops within
this stillness, which is contained within consciousness,
the universe appears.
Wolinsky: Now what assumptions has this consciousness
made about this blank nothingness thing in the
middle?
