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

246 / You Are Not
Wolinsky: So, does this concept deceive itself by thinking it
is?
Student: Yeah, there is an ease in relationship to all that,
all that is that.
Wolinsky: And it is real.
Student: Yes.
Wolinsky: If the concept it is and not is and real and unreal
were all concepts that were all part of this including
the one that is aware of it that had nothing
to do with anything, then . . . ?
Student: Wow_______blank_______(silence).
Wolinsky: So, if this concept, called “my” consciousness
believed in the concept called an umbrella and
a virtue and running through the body and
counter, it is aware of it, and also the counter
concepts of figuring out and action, and confusion,
concepts of the other person should be this
virtuous thing, but it can’t possibly because the
concept of “it can’t happen is there, therefore you
should be able to have this, but of course you
can’t because you can’t have it” concept is there,
then you have the dialectic where two points meet
to form a “higher” third point, now this other
concept here that somehow transmits the virtue
of morality, which this one goes along with, but
doesn’t know what it is really, Okay, and within
this are all of the concepts called is and not is and
the concept called real and unreal. If it believed
all of this, what would the concept called “my”
consciousness be unwilling to know?
Student: Wow what came up for me is there is nothing
to know but that’s assuming there is a definition
called know.
