I think cetasikas are programmed submind?
Upvote:0
So far I was under impression that cetasicas are elementary mental factor.
Cetasikas are mental factors. (characteristics of minds). They don't arise alone. They arise with mind and other cetasikas. When they arise they arise at the same time. When they cease they cease at the same time. They have the same object. They depend on the same Rupa.
Today when I show Samma Δjiva is also a cetasika. It changed my view toward cetasika.
There are 3 Virati-cetasikas (abstinent-cetasikas) They are not long time existing actions as you have thought. They are momentary. When we abstain from a verbal or bodily wrong doing, the "abstinent-cetasikas" arises in the mind. It is a virati-cetasika.
And with little exaggeration I can say that, I can develop a modern cetasika like samma-mobile. No. All the cetasikas that exists were already found by the Buddha. That is why he was omniscient. It is considered the number 52 can not be changed.
If think of the new-cetasika you have mentioned, it should be a combined one of 2/3 virati cetasikas.
