as i mentioned earlier, chitta has several definitions. on my effortpost the other day, i said chitta the memory is in the subtle body, and contrasted it with the samskaras, the "soul memory" of the causal body which precedes the mental memory. i said even if youve forgotten in chitta, the samskaras remember. but i couldve been wrong?? now im reading that the samskaras are stored in the chitta, and the chitta is the unconscious mind. do they mean chitta as in memory of the antahkarana, or chitta as in total mind-stuff??? how can something in the causal body be stored in the subtle??? does it just mean that samskaras are felt within the minds memory when they fructify? i wish an LLM were advanced enough to explain this to me.

@georgia I mean.
I wouldn't use any of those words you're using, but if we assume a lasting existence contained within our fleshy bodies which persists beyond death, then the Idea of a lasting self hidden/contained/housed/covered by a fleeting/temporary self is kind of part of your base axioms.
In short, this is a normal shape for things to be, it just surprised you because you weren't expecting it.
