The ontology of transformation
![Page 51: Cutting through false dualisms: Transformative social change as a moral framework for psychological research](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/587f266d1a28ab350c8b7dd7/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The 5 skandhas/aggregates
1. Form (body)2. Feelings (sensations)3. Perceptions 4. Mental/karmic formations (51 of
them)5. Consciousness (8 of them)
![Page 52: Cutting through false dualisms: Transformative social change as a moral framework for psychological research](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011721/587f266d1a28ab350c8b7dd7/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The 8 layers of consciousness
1. Body + touching = tactile consciousness2. Eyes + seeing = visual consciousness3. Ears + hearing = auditory consciousness4. Nose + smelling = olfactory consciousness5. Tongue + tasting = gustatory consciousness6. Mind + thinking = mental consciousness
7. Manas-vijñāna (dualistic consciousness)8. Alaya-vijñāna (aka storehouse/substrate
consciousness), where our karmic seeds are stored. “[T]he psyche is conditioned by the body and its physical interaction with the environment , but it emerges from the substrate consciousness" (Wallace, 2007, pp. 15-16).
The 18 dhātus:
6 sense organs + 6 sense
objects = 6 consciousness

Primordial awareness"In contrast to the substrate consciousness, which can be
viewed as the relative ground state of mind, according to the Great Perfection, primordial consciousness (jñāna) is characterized as the absolute state of consciousness. This state of perfect symmetry--internally undifferentiated in terms of any concepts or qualities--entails the lowest possible state of mental activity, with the highest possible potential and degree of freedom. While the substrate consciousness is aware of the substrate--the relative inner space of the mind--the primordial consciousness is indivisibly aware of the absolute space of phenomena (dharmadhātu), which transcends the duality of external and internal space" (Wallace, 2007, pp. 19-20).

Buddha-nature: the embodiment of primordial awareness
"the buddha-nature (tathāgatagarbha) [which is our true nature] is 'brightly shining and pure, and originally pure, but it appears impure as it is defiled by adventitious stains and is enveloped by the skandhas, dhātus, and soiled with the dirt of attachment, hatred, delusion, and compulsive ideation'" (cited by Wallace, 2007, p. 98).

I think, therefore…
To be or not to be… That is not the question!
I am not!

The epistemology of social change
On the dualistic nature of grammar: "A quantum of force is just such a quantum of drive, will, action, in fact it is nothing but this driving, willing and acting, and only the seduction of language (and the fundamental errors of reason petrified within it), which construes and misconstrues all actions as conditional upon an agency, a 'subject', can make it appear otherwise. [...] the common people separates lighting from its flash and takes the latter to be a deed, something performed by a subject, which is called lightning [...]. But there is no such substratum; there is no 'being' behind the deed, its effect and what becomes of it; 'the doer' is invented as an afterthought, --the doing is everything" (Nietzsche, Ansell-Pearson, & Diethe, 2007, p. 26).
