' The Cinema Screen '...

What is really your own, you are not conscious of.

What you are conscious of is neither you nor yours.

Yours is the power of perception, not what you perceive.

It is a mistake to take the conscious to be the whole of man.

Man is the unconscious, the conscious and the superconscious, but you are not the man.

Yours is the cinema screen, the light as well as the seeing power, but the picture is not you.
