pulses out these impulses that can take the form
of energy, images, fantasies, emotions, etc.?

which is aware of it and it had nothing to do
with anything, then . . . ?

Wolinsky: Regarding this bio-electric pulse that pulses out
these impulses that can take the form of energy,
images, fantasies, emotions, etc., what has the

bio-electric impulse that registers as a self.

in the concept of I am and were made of the
SAME underlying SUBSTANCE including the
“awarer,” which is aware of it and it had nothing
to do with anything, then . . . ?
