Cit-sakti (s’akti), Tatastha-sakti (s'akti)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p>
And the mahat-tattva.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Consciousness or Cit-S’akti does not originate from the maha-tattva; no consciousness can originate from the mahat-tattva.<o:p></o:p>
Cit - The Absolute; foundational consciousness; the consciousness that is the unchanging principle of all changes. What is Cit? There is no word in the English language, which satisfactorily describes it. So lets explain it the simplest way possible.
There are two separate main aspects of creation; presently our consciousness is in the mahat-tattva (dreaming - Svapna avastha) transferred there from our original bodily source outside the mahat-tattva. (Jagrat avastha – fully awake) This is hard to understand because ones consciousness is transferred from an imperishable atmosphere to a perishable one.
All individual consciousness originates from out side the maha-tattva, even that of Maha-Vishnu who is an expansion of Balarama who builds the dark cloud in one corner of the Spiritual Sky. The mahat-tattva is therefore born from the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha Spiritual Sky and manifests as a dark cloud in that same Spiritual Sky.
Consciousness or Cit-Sakti like tatastha-sakti, does not originate from the maha-tattva; no consciousness can ever originate from the mahat-tattva, that is not possible because individual consciousness is first transferred their due to the marginal living entities (vigraha’s) choice to have their independent non-Krishna conscious desires, dreams and thoughts manifest as a secondary dimensional state of conscious that disqualifies one from serving as their rasa bodily self and enters the maha tattva as spiritual consciousness and is then immediately place in a material ethereal body.
Such extended individual secondary consciousness is not a product of Maha-Maya but rather housed by Maha-Vishnu and tempted by His good wife Maya-Devi, Maha-Maya or Durga. It must be clearly understood that when that secondary conscious lower self is transferred from their higher self rasa body originating in the Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha realm, it is not Maha-Maya that tempts them, that is not possible outside the mahat-tattva, and neither does Yoga-Maya throws/extends their consciousness out of their own body in Goloka either – it is simply choice that one wants to exploit the mahat-tattva and become confined to ethereal and later biological vessels if they foolishly choose to remain in the temporary mahat-tattva. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
This stage of secondary consciousness in the mahat-tattva is first called cit jada granthi [cit jud grunthi]: the division between pure Krishna consciousness and the non-Krishna conscious comatose state (insentient) that is known as the jiva-bhutah extended secondary consciousness (lower self) and housed in an ethereal or subtle body within the mahat-tattva. Chitta [chitt]: memory aspect of mind; the mental mode turned towards objects provided by Maha-Vishnu within the mahat-tattva.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tatastha – sakti (s'akti) is not the origin of ones consciousness either
<o:p></o:p>
The tatastha-s'akti or energy is the third feature of the atma-vigraha devotee's (jiva-tattva's) extended conscious projection that does not recognize their original rasa body or even accept or believe they originate from Goloka, nor do they desire to be housed or confined to active ethereal and biological vessels in the mahat-tattva (material creation) however, such non-active desires are also temporary and one eventually falls from the tatastha consciousness to be housed in the confines of an ethereal body in the mahat-tattva provide by Maha-Vishnu.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The word tatastha means a neutral, disinterested, state of dormant consciousness that does not take any side, which means ones conscious awareness does not recognize its perpetual bodily self (jiva-atma-vigraha or jiva-tattva vigraha) in Goloka-Vrndavana/Vaikuntha (the perpetual devotional Krishna Conscious Kingdom of God), or interested in activating any secondary conscious dream state of self-importance that becomes housed in ethereal and biological vessels within the maha-tattva (material manifestation)
Therefore, the tatastha-s'akti is the jiva-tattva-vigraha or marginal living entity manifesting as their extended lower self or secondary dreaming consciousness, is only detectable as motionless, or individually dormantly merged in the transitional state of inactive consciousness (Impersonal aspect of the Brahmajyoti or creation), ONLY after travelling in ethereal (subtle body) and biological vessels provided within the mahat-tattva.
This means their extended consciousness is neither in the active beautiful imperishable Goloka-Grndavana/Vaikuntha realm or in the active perishable material realm, such a third state of conscious projection is neither energetically Krishna conscious, nor energetically material conscious but rather existing in a dreamless state of dormant consciousness called tatastha.

This is an alternative quiescent condition for the marginal living entity when unaware of both their fully potential Krishna Conscious body and its secondary conscious projections of counterfeit bodies provided by Maha-Vishnu within the mahat-tattva
