Notes from the Dream (circa 1982-1986) - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

From this perspective I could see that whateverappeared through awareness became real.It was as if a flashlight of awareness shinedand emptiness and the universe appeared madeof the label commonly called consciousnesswhich appeared as light.The light would solidify and contain its’ ownenergy (label) and occupy a space (label). Itwould appear as if it had always existed or hada duration in a concept labeled time.Once the flashlight of awareness dissolved,(like a flashlight being turned off) the universewould disappear, yet would actually exist inpotential or as “seeds” within the emptiness,which Bohm called the implicate order.The bubble realms unfolded from the implicateorder and once unfolded appeared to have aninherent existence. This unfolded implicateemptiness which Bohm called the explicateorder was the bubbles and what I called I, orthe subject. When the explicate enfolded itbecame the implicate emptiness again.Simply stated:The implicate emptiness unfolded and becamethe explicate perceivable world with a you or asubject.120
