[Alan Notes 0312 1978 Begin]

3/12/78 Vedanta

[FIGURE 1978 0312-1-AB. Self, Ajnana, Purusha, and Jiva. Refl = Reflected; Indiv = Individual; W/ = With; I-cs = I-consciousness. Facsimile scan from AB class notes.]

Pure consciousness essentialized = causal body.

One and Being (One including Being) = causal ignorance.

Ignorance is the essentialization of consciousness.

First Quadrant: 1 = One, 2 = Indefinite Dyad, 3 = Essentialized Dyad.

When 3 identifies with 2 → 4, Second Quadrant.

Vedantic scheme: elaborates diagonal.

[FIGURE 1978 0312-5-AB. Three Aspects of Ahamkara: Bhutadi, Tejas, Vaikriti. Facsimile scan from AB class notes.]

Vedanta works diagonal.

Causal body (Jupiter Mercury) is constituted of anandamaya (body -- Mars, Venus) and buddhi (Mars Venus).
