place to belong, and where is the concept called
“my” consciousness which believes in the causal

Student: In the heart around here.
Wolinsky: Now by the concept called “my” consciousness,
which believes in the concept of a body, a subtle
body, a causal body, an energy body, a body made
of light believing in the senses and instincts—by
that concept called “my” consciousness believing
in all this what have been the consequences for
the concept called “my” consciousness?
Student: Believing in eternal life.”
Wolinsky: Now if this concept called “my” consciousness,
the concept of the body, the concept of an energy
body, the concept of instincts and senses, the
concept of light body, the concept of a causal
body in your heart that causes eternal life—if all
of this including the knower and “awarer” of all
of this were made of the same substance which
had nothing to do with anything, then . . . ?
Student: Nothing . . . it feels like just a big question mark,
like blank; so what now?
Wolinsky: And if the concept called now was not, and the
concept of a past, the concept of a future, the
concept of an I am, even the concept of doing,
like I’m not doing what I have to do—if all
of these concepts along with the knower and
“awarer” of them, and they were all made of
THE SAME SUBSTANCE, which have nothing
to do with anything, then . . . ?
