Reference: Course on Subject Clearing
When we look at the the subjects, The categories of “School subjects” and “Professions and Arts” are easy to clear, but when it comes to the category of “The Self and Life,” the subject clearing requires a whole different level of effort because we are resolving anomalies in ourselves.
This is what religion has been attempting to do since the ancient times. Out of religion have evolved the subjects of philosophy and science. Interestingly enough, an implicit part of mainline religion, philosophy and the scientific method has been the Principle of Oneness.

The Principle of Oneness & Truth
The PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS may now be stated explicitly as follows:
Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that all that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious. This principle of oneness underlies the very concept of the universe. It also underlies the Scientific method. This principle gives us the ideal scene for logic, because its violation gives us anomalies.
When we look at ourselves, truth no longer appears to be as certain as black and white. Instead, we get a whole spectrum of truth. We find that something is as true as it is continuous, consistent and harmonious within its context. The criterion for truth is, thus, best expressed by the Principle of Oneness.

The Subject of “I”
The subject of “I” is generally divided into the categories of Body, Mind and Spirit.
The body can still be seen as a subject that can be examined objectively. When it comes to the mind, it becomes quite subjective. And when we look at the spirit it becomes quite esoteric.
We identify ourselves with the body. The body is studied as an organism in the subject of “Biology.” It is treated through the professional subject of “Medicine.” Structurally, we have a pretty good idea of the body. But when it comes to the subject of genetics to understand the blueprint of the body, we find that there is a lot that we do not know.
We identify ourselves with the mind even more. We apply the mind when we engage in the study of any subject. When we study the subject of mind itself, we get into sort of a loop. We find that we need a model that integrates all the various functions of the mind nicely.
We are identified with the spirit most intimately. In spirit, we start looking at the most fundamental factors that make us what we are. We find a lot of speculations and theories about such factors in various religions.
.
The Beingness as Spirit & Mind
Subject Clearing should start with an understanding of one’s Beingness in terms of Spirit and Mind. Then it should proceed to the understanding of the Body.
The factors underlying the spirit are taken up in The KHTK Factors.
The subject of Beingness is taken up in Subject Clearing Beingness.
The subject of Mind is taken up in Subject Clearing the Mind.
