How the 24 Tattvas Shape Perception, Psychology, and Identity

In Part 2, Jeffrey Armstrong guides students deeper into the lived mechanics of embodiment, revealing how identity becomes entangled with the layers of prakṛti. With powerful relevance to modern psychology, this illuminating session explores how conditioning forms, how attachment patterns shape our lives, and why we so often mistake acquired patterns for our true identity.

Seen through the map of the 24 tattvas, this teaching also becomes a practical tool for self-assessment — helping students better understand their inner vehicle, how it is performing, what its capabilities are, where its limitations lie, and how Yoga can refine, steady, and clarify the whole system.

Revisit Part 1, Jeffrey Armstrong introduced the classical Sāṅkhya map of the subtle body — the elegant inner architecture through which consciousness appears layered and embodied life unfolds. As these layers are understood more clearly, they can be recognized directly and engaged consciously, rather than silently governing our thoughts, attachments, and sense of identity.
