3 Parts of Consciousness

Consciousness in three parts: essence, ability and appearing form. Plus the 18 parts of consciousness and what you need to learn Dharma.

3 Parts of Consciousness

18 parts of consciousness

  • 6 parts of consciousness — senses
  • 6 tools — sense organs
  • 6 sense information (2 parts)
  • A use B to aware C creates D
  • Awareness ability use Body/subconsciousness to aware C (illusion) create D (awareness)
  • Self-being
  • Example: Rollercoaster
    • Fear to joy with meditation
    • 100% into it
    • Everything like that cleaning, 100%
  • Dharma-I or Causation-I
    • Light on, darkness disappear
    • Free from nonsense negative I — problems never ending, non-stop issue. I and my, both sides:
      • I side: self doubt, worry
      • This I: problem connected to all others
    • Muddy dirt always going to be dirty — but lotus seeds absorb it, turn into a beautiful lotus

Without these 4 won't learn Dharma

  • Wisdom curiosity
    • Sharp to aware life
  • Suffering
  • Kind, care, lucky karma / Compassion

Consciousness

1. Essence — every life equal

  • Individual
  • No form
  • Qualities of essence (can get covered): Eternal, Joy, True, Pure
  • Others: No I, Empty, Joy, Free
  • Never changes

2. Ability — every life different

  • Individual
  • No form
  • Changes
    • Hidden, called potential — before, ability same
    • Awakened Buddha — then ability same

These two: start and end same, middle different.

3. Appearing form

  • Combination
  • Form
  • Constantly changing
  • Remain always changing
  • Join together
  • Every form come from our heart
  • 7 Chakras become that energy
