● Consciousness. For a better understanding of what the sense organs perceive, for the synthesis of various sensations into a single whole, the soul has mastered the ability to build images and think in these images.
● Touch. Contact of sense organs with external objects. The external objects were created by this same soul, as well as by other souls. Three gunas are used as a building material for the formation of external objects.
● Sensation. As a result of the contact of the sense organs with external objects, the soul receives sensations. Feelings can be divided into strong and weak, as well as pleasant and unpleasant.
● Perception. The summation of individual sensations into a single image.
● Feeling. Evaluation of the image received during perception. As a criterion for evaluating the image, what was formed at the stage of motivation is used. Thus, when the details of the past and the new experience coincide, the illusion of approaching the original absolute state of the True Ego is created, and then the new experience, and new sensations, and new images are also evaluated as pleasant.
● Thirst. Getting a pleasant experience cannot but lead to a strong desire to repeat the experience, to passion.
● Capture («clinging»). Strong attachment both to the objects of pleasant feelings, and to those of one's own internal factors that are associated with these objects. For example, being captured by memories of a loved one.
● Assignment. Retention of objects of thirst, objects of pleasant feelings and thoughts around oneself.
● Making of Existence. Creation of the physical body.
● Consumption. Retention of objects of thirst, objects of pleasant feelings and thoughts around oneself.
● Internaling («becoming», «existence»). An external object (an object of capture) crosses the external-internal boundary and becomes a part of the physical body, forming an internal metabolism, becoming a part of the metabolism. And thus forming an internal need for an external, like itself. So, for example, internal alcohol, which is present in the blood, creates a need for even more external alcohol. Here "existence" should be understood as "the existence of a living being", "the existence of a living organism". And the “existence of a living organism” should by no means be understood as something “internally without process”. “The existence of a living organism” is a process, a process of internal metabolism, that is, a process of assimilation and dissimilation, that is, a process of constant internalization and externalization.
● Birth. If the internalization is not stopped, then the further development of the process leads the soul to the formation of more and more coarse, more inert bodies. And, ultimately, the soul finds itself in a human body in this world of phenomena. At the moment of birth, the soul forgets what happened to it before, and because of this, the soul has an erroneous view of bodily existence: «this body is Me». Understanding this stage as a one-time event is erroneous. This stage should be understood as the fact that the soul has come to a state of constant birth and death, to a state of constant rebirth, to the experience of an already infinite number of births.
● Suffering. If a person is born, he will inevitably die. If the soul, through its will and right thinking, stops any element of this chain, then the process of forming the conditions for emergence stops. The assertion that the process of formation of the conditions for emergence exists permanently and immanently is correct. The assertion that the last link in the process of formation of the conditions of occurrence leads back to the first link is a delusion, a mistake, a confusion. In fact, the last link of emergence leads to the first link of liberation: faith.
Law of karma
The word karma is translated as action.
If you cause someone suffering with your deed, then you are destined to experience this suffering too. If you bring joy to someone with your deed, then you are destined to experience this joy too. Neutral actions are reflected by neutral consequences.
Merit is the accumulation of karma of good deeds towards souls who are superior to you in some way. Merits before the highest God or before the Absolute have the greatest value. When a person engages in spiritual practice, he accumulates the highest merit.
Law of projection
Every thought has power. Any image appears in reality.
A weak single image manifests itself in the form of imperceptible consequences.
A strong image appears as a tangible reality.
A special case of the manifestation of a strong image is the case when a person decided to create something and then brought this idea to life. This is usually called creation.
The images of the gods are always very strong. Therefore, their images are life-giving.
A strong multiple collective image appears as a real inevitable event.
A very strong thought can give rise to life.
Meditation of becoming is just one of the ways to make your thought strong and multiple.
