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

148 / You Are Not
half in and half out of the window. What “I” saw was the
vast NOTHINGNESS. What “I” came to realize was that at
death whatever is “undigested” (unprocessed) could form
(appear) out of the condensed NOTHINGNESS. In Tibetan
Buddhism, they might call it wrathful deities, for “us” we
could call it our “demons.”
This window did not leave, but is part of “THAT” as
“I.” However, during these eight days there were two levels
that were “realized”; one, within the mirage existed the concept
of death, and on another, there was no concept of death!!!!
EnQUiRY inTO THE nATURE
Of THE COnCEpT Of DEATH
Barbara, a longtime student, all year went through a horrific
experience—her daughter was murdered. “I” thought it
would be a good idea to do the enquiry with her.
Wolinsky: Where in or around this body is the concept
called “my” consciousness, which believes in the
concept called death?
Student: It’s all around (most of her body), in here (stomach)
and it includes some of my shoulders and
upper chest.
Wolinsky: How would the concept called “my” consciousness
define the concept called death?
Student: Death is a change from physicalness and it moves
us, from having a body and a nervous system
and existing in space, time, etc. It’s a shift out
of here, not being alive to being dead.
Wolinsky: How would this concept called “my” consciousness,
define the concept called death—it’s a
shift?
