Please refer to Subject Clearing Beingness
Philosophically, the ancient Vedas divide the beingness of a person into Self and Being. This division may be defined in modern terms as follows:
SELF
The SELF is the ability to postulate and to become aware. It pervades everything. It is considered to be infinite. It has no individuality.
BEING
The “being” is a package of postulates energized by Self. It consists of postulated goals and behavior characteristics. It carries the detailed blueprint for the body and the mind. The being, therefore, has an individuality, and it is finite with a beginning and an end.
THE PERSON (BEINGNESS)
The person is the BEING that is grounded in SELF. He is most happy and operates optimally when his postulates are not in violation of the principle of Oneness.
POSTULATE
A POSTULATE is a self-created truth that gives form to the unknowable, and attempts to make it knowable. Based on postulates further reasoning follows. To be valid, postulates and reasoning must adhere to the principle of oneness.
SPIRIT
SPIRIT is a loose concept that includes SELF as defined above and the postulates that form the goals and basic characteristics of a person. Spirituality has to do with becoming aware of the situations in life and having the ability to resolve them.
PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS
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.
ANOMALY
An ANOMALY is any violation of the principle of oneness, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

Anomaly of Beingness
The key anomaly of beingness is its identification with something other than itself. This shows up as “attachment” to that something. This attachment manifests as “fixation of attention” on that something.
The attachment, such as, fixation on the body, or fixation on oneself, muddies up a person’s perception and, therefore, his ability to think.
One solution to this problem is to have a clear idea of one’s goals, and to be devoted to discharging one’s duties according to those goals.
This is the message of The Bhagavad Gita. The goal must not be in violation of the principle of Oneness.

Subject Clearing
The target of Subject Clearing is resolving the FIXATION OF ATTENTION.
If a person’s attention is fixed on his body, then he clears up the subject of the body until his attention is no longer fixed on the body. If his attention is fixed on the mind, then he clears up the subject of the mind until his attention is no longer fixed on the mind.
If his attention is fixed on a number of different things, then he makes a list of those things and rearranges them in the sequence they are taking up his attention. He then handles them one by one through Subject Clearing.
Ideally, the person’s attention should be free. He should be able to place his attention where he wants, and not have it fixed at a place where he does not want.
