"A non-grasping mind - or awareness as you want to call it- does not experience or move along the grooves of fun and no fun. It is a mind made of ROCK -figuratively speaking- towards these grooves, but a mind made of ETHER -also figuratively- towards what REMAINS OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE AFTER THESE GROOVES ARE LEVELLED AND NO LONGER GROOVES."
