JIVA SASTRA SUTRAS

 A

Here’s a clear tabular summary of your points on the psychology of the person (jīva):

No. Concept / Principle Explanation / Detail
1 Psychology and Jīva Psychology studies the person (jīva).
2 Person as Consciousness The person is consciousness individuated as a subject.
3 Embodiment Embodiment makes the person a knowing, feeling, and acting being.
4 Knowing Person Composed of body, mind, and consciousness.
5 Reflective Mind Active mind enables reflective, ratiocinative cognition.
6 Emotional Experience Embodiment allows experiencing and expressing emotions.
7 Transcendence Person as center of consciousness can transcend mind-based modes and access consciousness-as-such.
8 Conditioned Consciousness Embodied consciousness becomes conditioned and mind-based.
9 Mental States Conditioned consciousness manifests in various mental states, forms, and modes.
10 Loss of Freedom Conditioned phenomena lose spontaneity, biased by predispositions and sensory coloring.
11 Mind-driven Person Conditioned person is driven by the mind influenced by ignorance.
12 Unconditioned Person In unconditioned state, the person directs the mind.
13 Saṃsāra With sensory consciousness, the person is caught in the empirical world of change and uncertainty.
14 Thought Fiber Saṃsāra is woven by the mind’s thoughts.
15 Mind as Instrument Mind functions as the instrument of thought, passion, and action.
16 Ego Prime manifestation of conditioned mind is the ego.
17 Ego’s Role Individuation gives identity and experience of self-sameness.
18 Ego Attributes Self-reference, attachment, binding, and biased perceptions, attitudes, and aspirations.
19 Self-Reference Central to subjectivity in the person.
20 Attachment Generates desires.
21 Binding Prompts clinging.
22 Biasing Distorts truth.
23 Subjectivity Gives rise to first-person experience.
24 Desire and Clinging Desires lead to clinging and passion.

If you want, I can extend this table into a full “Bhāratīya Jīva Śāstra Sūtras” style format, where each of these points is expressed as a concise sutra with a Sanskrit-style phrasing. This will make it look like classical Indian philosophical sutras.

Do you want me to do that?
