Consciousness is not cumulative in the sense after plenty of knowledge, only i will become pure consciousness. If i do not know anything at all, if i do not take one class of atwit avay ront at all, i am as much pure consciousness,. awareness as erama, christna, sammi, vivaka and the holy mother and the rest of us - we can't exist without them.
