but at the the same time I have, on the one hand,
a clear and distinct idea of myself
taken simply as a conscious, not an extended being;

taken simply as an extended, not a conscious being;
so it is certain that I am really distinct from my body,
and could exist without it.

Water has no shape, its nature is to flow.
If you put it into a vase it will take the shape of the vase.
In this cup, it has assumed the shape of the cup.
If poured into my cupped hands it will take the shape of the hands.
But water has no shape.
It is the same with the consciousness, which is subtler than water.
It similarly has no form,
but it assumes the form of whatever concept it is poured into or identifies with,
but it will never be the form.
It remains ever its formless nature.

The content of consciousness is your belief, your pleasure, your experience,

the search for something more than physical existence;
all that is one's consciousness with its content.
