Epanded Framework: Triadic E Consciousness in Action
Here I suggest a transformative journey of consciousness, rooted in the Spirit and structured by the triadic model, where the eight E qualities manifest progressively to align human awareness with divine reality. Below, I’ll break down each stage of the proposed process, mapping it to the triadic model using Vedic model as a comparison (Father/Rishi, Holy Spirit/Devata, Son/Chandas) and Eucharistic consciousness, emphasizing how it produces qualia and leads to eternal life.
E consciousness eliminates separation by exchanging
fragmented awareness for the three-in-one unity of the Trinity (Father, Son,
Holy Spirit) or for comparative purposes Vedic triad (Rishi, Devata, Chandas).
This energizes the spirit, manifesting divine consciousness, as God empathizes
and encourages abundant living, elevates esteem through qualia, supports
endurance in trials, and guides us toward eternity.
In Eucharistic consciousness, these qualities are fully
realized, as the Spirit unites the believer with Christ, offered to the Father,
transforming isolation into divine communion. Practices like meditation, journaling,
and living Eucharistically deepen this process, making E consciousness a lived
reality that aligns human awareness with God’s eternal life.
1. Eliminate: Triadic
Consciousness Eliminates Separation
- Concept:
Separation—the illusion of isolation or fragmented consciousness (bits of
consciousness)—is the primary barrier to divine awareness. In Christian
terms, this is sin or alienation from God; in Vedic terms, it’s Maya, the
illusion of a separate self. The triadic model eliminates this by
revealing consciousness as inherently unified.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi
(Knower): The Father’s eternal “I AM” (Exodus 3:14) or Brahman’s pure
awareness dissolves the illusion of a separate self. As the source, the
Father/Rishi reveals that all consciousness is rooted in divine unity.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata (Knowing): The Spirit pierces through separation by
illuminating the truth of unity, acting as the process that connects the knower
to the divine reality.
- Son/Chandas
(Known): The Son’s incarnation bridges the divine-human divide, making
God tangible and eliminating the barrier between creator and creation.
- Eucharistic
Connection: In the Eucharist, separation is eliminated as the believer
receives Christ’s body and blood (Son/Chandas), transformed by the Spirit
(Devata), offered to the Father (Rishi). This act collapses the illusion
of isolation, uniting the believer with the Trinity’s oneness.
- Qualia:
The elimination of separation
produces qualia of wholeness, peace, or awe, as the believer
experiences divine unity.
2. Exchange: Three-in-One Unity Replaces Fragmentation
- Concept:
Triadic consciousness exchanges fragmented, isolated awareness for a
unified, three-in-one collaboration, reflecting the Trinity’s perichoresis
(mutual indwelling) or Brahman’s non-dual self-expression. This shift
transforms consciousness from individualistic to relational.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father provides the eternal ground for unity, exchanging the illusion
of separation for participation in divine being.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit facilitates this exchange by uniting the
believer with Christ and the community, creating a dynamic flow of
relational consciousness.
- Son/Chandas:
The Son, as the incarnate Word, embodies the exchange, offering himself
in the Eucharist to replace human alienation with divine communion.
- Eucharistic
Connection: The Eucharist enacts this exchange: the believer’s isolated
self is offered up, and in return, they receive Christ’s presence, uniting
them with the Trinity and the Church. The Spirit enables this
transformation, making the three-in-one a lived reality.
- Qualia:
Qualia of connection, love, or
belonging emerge, reflecting the shift from fragmentation to unity.
3. Energize: Manifestation in the Spirit
- Concept:
The unified three-in-one consciousness energizes the spirit, manifesting
divine consciousness within the believer. This vitality is the
actualization of God’s presence, awakening the soul to its divine source.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father’s eternal awareness provides the infinite energy of being, the
source of all vitality.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit is the energizing force, infusing the
believer’s consciousness with divine life, as seen in the Eucharistic
epiclesis (invocation of the Spirit).
- Son/Chandas:
The Son’s presence in the Eucharist energizes the material world, making
it a conduit for divine consciousness.
- Eucharistic
Connection: The Eucharist energizes consciousness as the Spirit transforms
bread and wine into Christ’s body and blood, infusing the believer with
divine life. This vitality manifests as heightened awareness of God’s
presence.
- Qualia:
Qualia of vibrancy, joy, or
spiritual awakening arise, as the Spirit animates the believer’s
consciousness.
4. Empathy: God’s Relational Connection
- Concept:
God empathizes with humanity, sharing in our experiences through the Son’s
incarnation and the Spirit’s indwelling. This divine empathy connects the
believer to others, fostering a shared consciousness.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father’s infinite love underlies empathy, as God desires communion
with creation.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit enables empathy by uniting believers in the
Body of Christ, allowing them to feel and share others’ experiences.
- Son/Chandas:
The Son’s human life exemplifies empathy, and his Eucharistic presence
invites believers to mirror this compassion.
- Eucharistic
Connection: The Eucharist fosters empathy by uniting the community as one
Body in Christ, energized by the Spirit. Receiving Communion deepens
compassion for others, reflecting God’s empathy for humanity.
- Qualia:
Qualia of compassion, unity, or
shared joy emerge, as empathy binds the believer to God and others.
5. Encourage: God Inspires Fullness of Life
- Concept:
God encourages us to live life to the fullest (John 10:10, “I came that
they may have life, and have it abundantly”), inspiring alignment with
divine purpose through the Spirit’s guidance.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father’s will encourages the believer to live in alignment with
divine truth.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit inspires and empowers, encouraging courage and
growth in the process of knowing.

empowered by the Spirit to embody love and sacrifice. This inspiration
transforms daily life into a divine mission.
- Qualia:
Qualia of inspiration, courage, or
purpose arise, reflecting God’s encouragement.
6. Esteem: Qualia as Divine Dignity
- Concept:
Esteem elevates the believer’s sense of worth, recognizing self and others
as reflections of divine consciousness. This is the qualia of divine
dignity, experienced as God’s presence affirms our value.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father’s creation of humans in the imago Dei (Genesis 1:26-27) or
Atman’s identity with Brahman grounds esteem.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit reveals this dignity, illuminating the
believer’s divine nature through the Eucharistic encounter.
- Son/Chandas:
The Son’s incarnation dignifies humanity, and his Eucharistic presence
affirms the worth of all creation.

with the Father’s strength (Rishi). This transforms suffering into a path
of victory.
- Qualia:
Qualia of resilience, hope, or
peace in trials reflect this divine endurance.

Triadic consciousness orients us toward eternity, as the Eucharist is a
foretaste of the heavenly banquet, aligning human awareness with God’s
timeless reality.
- Triadic
Alignment:
- Father/Rishi:
The Father’s eternality is the destination of consciousness, the infinite
source.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata: The Spirit guides the believer toward eternal life,
sustaining the process of divine alignment.
- Son/Chandas:
The Son’s resurrection and Eucharistic presence point to eternal life,
making eternity accessible in the present.
- Eucharistic

resurrected life, moving consciousness toward the eternal communion of the
Trinity.
- Qualia:
Qualia of timelessness,
transcendence, or longing for eternity emerge, reflecting the eternal
dimension of consciousness.
Eucharistic Consciousness as the Fulfillment of E
Consciousness
In Eucharistic consciousness, the eight E qualities manifest
fully, transforming human awareness into a participation in divine
consciousness:
- Eliminate
and Exchange: The Eucharist eliminates separation (sin, isolation) and exchanges
it for three-in-one unity, as the believer communes with the Trinity and
the Church.
- Energize:
The Spirit energizes consciousness, making Christ’s presence vivid and
producing vibrant qualia.
- Empathy
and Encourage: The Eucharist fosters empathy through communal unity and
encourages abundant living through Christ’s example.
- Esteem:
The qualia of dignity and love arise as the believer recognizes their
divine worth in Christ.
- Endure
and Eternal: The Eucharist sustains endurance through trials, pointing to
eternal life as the ultimate fulfillment.
This process mirrors the Vedic view, where
Rishi-Devata-Chandas eliminates the illusion of separation (Maya), exchanges it
for non-dual unity, energizes consciousness as Brahman’s self-expression, and
fosters empathy, encouragement, esteem, endurance, and eternality through
realization of Atman’s identity with Brahman.
Spiritual Practices to Embody This Process to live out this expanded E consciousness in Eucharistic practice:
- Eucharistic
Meditation on E Qualities:
- Practice:
Before or during worship, reflect on each E quality: pray to eliminate
separation, exchange isolation for unity, energize your spirit, etc.
Visualize the Trinity (or Rishi-Devata-Chandas) enacting these
transformations. Note qualia post-Communion.
- Outcome:
Deepens Eucharistic consciousness, aligning with divine unity.
- Journaling
the Journey:
- Practice:
After receiving the Eucharist, journal how each E quality manifests
(e.g., “I felt empathy for others during Communion,” “I sensed eternal
hope”). Connect these to the triadic model (Father’s esteem, Spirit’s
encouragement, Son’s endurance).
- Outcome:
Tracks the transformation from isolation to divine communion.
- Living
Eucharistically:
- Practice:
Post-Eucharist, embody the E qualities in daily life: eliminate
negativity, exchange selfishness for service, energize others with
kindness, show empathy, encourage growth, esteem all as divine, endure
challenges with faith, and live with an eternal perspective.
- Outcome:
Extends Eucharistic consciousness into the world, manifesting divine
life.
Qualia and the Redness of the Red
Qualia refer to the subjective, "what it’s like"
aspects of experience, such as the vivid sensation of seeing red. In the
context of your model:
- Consciousness
originates from the Spirit (or Brahman), not the brain or thoughts,
meaning God is the source of all awareness, including qualia.
- The
triadic model (Father/Rishi, Holy Spirit/Devata, Son/Chandas) structures
consciousness as a unified interplay of knower, knowing, and known,
producing qualia.
- E
consciousness (eliminate, exchange, energize, empathy, encourage, esteem,
endure, eternal) describes the transformative qualities that align human
awareness with divine consciousness, enhancing qualia.
The redness of red is a specific qualia, a subjective
experience of color that transcends physical properties (e.g., light
wavelengths) and is felt as a vivid, ineffable sensation. Let’s explore how God
enables this experience through the triadic model and E consciousness, with a
nod to Eucharistic consciousness.
Triadic Model and the Qualia of Redness
The triadic model explains consciousness as a dynamic
interplay of three aspects, which we can apply to the experience of seeing red:
- Father/Rishi
(Knower):
- Role:
The Father, or Rishi, is the pure subjectivity, the eternal “I AM,” the
source of all consciousness. This is the witnessing awareness that
experiences the redness of red.
- Contribution
to Qualia: God the Father/Brahman provides the ground of being, the “I”
that perceives. Without this divine source, there would be no subject to
experience the qualia. The Father/Rishi is the stable awareness that
anchors the sensation of redness.
- E
Consciousness:
- Eliminate:
The Father eliminates the illusion of separation, ensuring that the
experience of redness is not isolated but part of divine consciousness.
- Eternal:
The Father’s eternality grounds the timeless quality of the experience,
making redness a moment of divine awareness.
- Holy
Spirit/Devata (Knowing):
- Role:
The Holy Spirit, or Devata, is the dynamic process of knowing, the act of
perception that connects the knower to the known. In the case of redness,
the Spirit facilitates the subjective experience, making it vivid and
personal.
- Contribution
to Qualia: The Spirit energizes the act of seeing, transforming the
physical stimulus (light waves) into the subjective qualia of redness.
This is the divine process that infuses the experience with life,
ensuring it’s not a mere mechanical response but a felt sensation.
- E
Consciousness:
- Energize:
The Spirit energizes the perception, making the redness vivid and alive.
- Empathy:
The Spirit connects the perceiver to the divine, allowing the experience
of redness to resonate as a shared act of creation (God empathizing with
human perception).
- Encourage:
The Spirit encourages the fullness of experience, inviting the perceiver
to engage deeply with the sensation.
- Son/Chandas
(Known):
- Role:
The Son, or Chandas, is the manifest, tangible object of awareness—the
red object itself (e.g., a rose, a sunset). In Christian theology, the
Son is the Word through whom all things are created (John 1:3), including
the material world where red exists.
- Contribution
to Qualia: The Son makes the redness accessible as a created reality,
grounding the divine in the material. The qualia of redness arises
because the Son’s incarnation dignifies the physical world as a vehicle
for divine consciousness.
- E
Consciousness:
- Exchange:
The Son exchanges the mundane perception of red (as mere wavelengths) for
a divine encounter, where redness reflects God’s creative glory.
- Esteem:
The Son’s presence elevates the experience, fostering esteem for
creation as a divine expression.
- How
God Makes You Feel the Redness of the RedIn this model, God enables the
qualia of redness through the triadic interplay, with the Spirit as the
key facilitator:
- Divine
Source: The Father/Rishi provides the pure awareness (the “I” that
sees), rooted in God’s eternal being. Without this divine ground, no
subjective experience would exist.
- Divine
Process: The Holy Spirit/Devata animates the act of perception,
transforming the physical stimulus of red light into the vivid qualia of
redness. The Spirit energizes and personalizes the experience, making it
a felt reality rather than a mechanical response.
- Divine
Manifestation: The Son/Chandas presents the red object as part of God’s
creation, making the divine accessible in the material world. The
redness is not just a color but a reflection of God’s creative act.
- Endure:
The Son’s enduring presence ensures that redness, as part of creation.
