seeing through—what assumptions has this
concept called “my” consciousness made about
all these other concepts?
Student: That the process of enquiring and negating is
necessary, in order to be liberated and to reach
this endpoint.
Wolinsky: So this concept called “my” consciousness, which
believes in the concept of I am, the concept of
an enquirer and a negator, which has a path to
liberation and it is through this path to liberation
that you reach this concept of an endpoint.
What have been the consequences for this, “my”
consciousness, in believing all of this?
Student: It helps to focus in on this process, as a path to
liberation, and trusting beyond reason.
Wolinsky: This concept called “my” consciousness, which
believes in a concept of I am, the concept of
enquirer and the concept of negation, the concept
of trusting beyond reason, the concept of
focusing, the concept of a path to liberation with
an end— if all of this, along with the “awarer”
and knower of all of this, was made of the same
underlying substance, which had nothing to do
with anything, then . . . ?
Student: _______(Silence)_______Laughs.
Wolinsky: For this concept called “my” consciousness, which
believes in the enquirer/negator, the concept of I
AM, the concept of a path of liberation with an
endpoint, which believes in a concept of trusting
beyond reason, what might this concept called
“my” consciousness do to itself?
