Abhyasa and Vairgya

Absorption or "going into it"... where do we draw the line as to what is a dangerous and deadly place to lose oneself and what is absolutely necessary for the purpose of passion... the desire to inquire and discern the nature of all such phenomena like fear and negative thinking/feeling... to be free of it entirely, fully absorbed only in the continuous act of just noticing and clearly observing .. and the subsequent creation/expression born of attention

Abhyasa is the active engaging extrovert aspect of Consciousness... it is the inhalation, the creative spark of consciousness

Vairagya is the passive dispassionate/detached introvert aspect of Consciousness... the exhalation and return to consciousness

Abhyasa is the movement from one to two which leads to three, and onward the same applies to all odd #'s (yang)

Vairagya is the return movement from two back to one which leads to zero, the same applies to all even #'s (yin)


Zero is the RETURN factor, the negation or destruction, clearing of space (inside and out)

One is the ACTIVE factor, the affirmation or manifestation, filling of space, the flip side of Two

Two is the RECEPTIVE factor, the experience complementing the action, the having that goes with doing

Three is the COGNITIVE factor, the thinking that complements both action and experience, and modifies them

Four is the ATTENTIVE factor, the reality that is manifest surrounding all being-doing-having, created by thinking

Five is the CREATIVE factor, the spontaneous expression/expansion arising out of attention and the will to creation

Six is the COHESIVE factor, the application, implementation and devotion that accompanies creative expression or action

Seven is the UNITIVE factor, the socialization, service and social interaction, self and others, subject and object integration

Eight is the ELIMINATIVE factor - Evolution, death and rebirth, self transformation and regeneration, trials and tests of faith

Nine is the LIBERATIVE factor - Actualization, freedom and full potential, teaching and healing, benevolence and renewal of faith

Ten is the REGENERATIVE factor - Perfection, Fruition, "fully ripened karma" or dharma, Mission accomplished, Return of One to Zero

Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen are the omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent factors (respectively) that pervade all individual experience (1-10)

  1. * Giving your attention to something negative, to the point of being fixated or absorbed in it is not the same as noticing. The latter is an essential precursor to detachment, for to notice something is to dis-identify with it.
