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

The Veil of enlightenment / 267
It is this sinking or “going back the way you came,” which
best exemplifies, as a metaphor, that there is NO-I and YOU
ARE NOT.
Below the superficiality of the wave bubble, water droplet
“I,” there is THE SUBSTANCE from which and by which the
waves, bubbles, droplets, and currents all appear to move
and be made of different substances. However as THE SUB-
STANCE; YOU ARE NOT, and even though the waves and
drops (“I”’s) imagine they are separate, they are still THE
SUBSTANCE, of which they are made, which never changes
and always remains the same.
Sink.
liBERATiOn: THE UlTiMATE GAME
Within the context of the mirage, there are so many
games. And, “I” imagine that if you are reading this book,
you are interested in the ultimate game.
Understand that it is all a mirage, and all is contained
within the context of the mirage, including the concepts
of bondage, death, enlightenment, awakening, spirituality,
liberation, and spiritual paths.
Certainly, the mirage character imagines that, they are
and it is; hence, it suffers and imagines that it is bound.
Spirituality, and over the last 150 years, psychology, aims
to solve this problem. Spirituality uses prescribed rituals,
called Mantras, Yantras, Tantras, or whatever. Psychology
tries to solve the problem through work on your mother,
your father, etc.
However, all is a mirage, and, as a mirage, there is no
bondage, liberation, enlightenment, spirituality, or spiritual
paths.
