THE PATH OF LEFT HEMISPHERE COGNITION AND THE CONTEMPLATION FOCUS OF ATTENTION

Avaivartika is the consequence of the dedicated assault upon the mind in an attempt to divorce human Cognition from the Identity interference that generates Identity Motivation.

Normally it is the memory substrates of sets of information that have a visceral base, an emotional base and a thought base which can be, as illusion, reified as the three Daughtera of Mara, (Māradhītā) and are personified by Craving (Taṇhā), Aversion (Arati) and Passion or Sensuality (confusion) (Rāga).

When cognition is ruled by Identity without a valid frame of reference which we call the Truth of Illusory appearances, or the Masculine Principle, then conduct in the apparent world is not in balance and harmony with the natural survival paradigms and survival of Identity clinging and craving becomes essential.

We examine here the information flow of left hemisphere information, and the way in which that information is stained. We also examine briefly the meditation methods which lead to the liberation of cognition from Identity control and also how Avaivartika operates upon the ZEAL program.

We consider that information flow in the most simple way possible using a flexible model. While the flow is really one operation, we can arbitrarily divide it into various functional units with distinct operation.

THE MODEL

We can begin with the relation of boundless space to the Life Force and examine the function of the operation of Total Awareness.

We can then move to the factors of Attention and the function of Sensory Awareness.

Then we can consider Sensation and Discrimination and their function.

We can follow that with the interesting function of Perception and its link to Memory.

Next we will examine the complex function of Cognition and its attributes, the operation of Thinking as the sixth sense, and the links of Cognition with any of the anterior.

Then we will briefly examine the methods of Vipassana and Samatha meditations to this pathway.

Finally we will examine the function of Avaivartika in the restoration of correct linkage through Dharma Motivation to the natural programs of the Life Force, and the replacement of Identity-motivated operations with correct daily AVAIVARTIKA Motivation.

We will not examine here the right hemisphere functions except in making a reference to specific connections to the left hemisphere pathway.

In order to avoid confusion, remember that we are speaking here of the major pathway model... Sensory information from the left parts of the body do pass through specific regions of the right hemisphere, but these are transferred through the corpus callosum to the left hemisphere. Note also that many authors speak of Emotion as being right-hemisphere-dominated. It would be more correct to call this "the expression of experiences."
