In Hindu philosophy, the antahkarana (Sanskrit: the inner cause) refers to the totality of two levels of mind, namely the buddhi, the intellect or higher mind, and the manas, the middle levels of mind which (according to theosophy) exist as or include the mental body. Antahkarana has also been called the link between the middle and higher mind, the reincarnating part of the mind.〔Bailey, Alice A. ''A Treatise on Cosmic Fire''. Lucis Press, LTD 2005〕 In Vedāntic literature, this (''internal organ'') is organised into four parts: # (''ego'') – identifies the Atman (''self'') with the body as 'I' # Buddhi (''intellect'') – controls decision making # Manas (''mind'') – controls ''sankalpa'' (will or resolution) # Chitta (''memory'') – deals with remembering and forgetting Another description says that "''antahkarana''" refers to the entire psychological process, including mind and emotions, are composing the mind levels, as described above, which are mentioned as a unit that functions with all parts working together as a whole. Furthermore, when considering that mind levels are bodies, they are: ''manomayakosha'' - related to manas - the part of mind related to five senses, and also craving for new and pleasant sensations and emotions, while buddhi (intellect, intelligence, capacity to reason), is related to vijnanamayakosha - the body of consciousness, knowledge, intuition and experience. Antahkarana also refers to a symbol used in the Reiki healing method. == See also == *Koshas *karanopadhi *Philosophy of mind 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antahkarana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
