When that grip lossens, then that false sense of I dissolves. But the structure of vasanas is still there -- just not a tight or binding grip. More translucent. Social self is still there. Just not hung up in "oneself" as before, no one or thing to get insulted, or to get mad and angry (as in "losing it" -- though certainly displeasure might still be shown). Thus an experience of social self, same characteristics, but being loser, freer, playful, very flexibible, etc. And some vasanas -- while more loose and translucent, may be "human liver and fava bean" oriented. Its my experience that mind / intellect continue to react, process, learn, and digest old habits and patterns, just as when vasannas were tighter.  But now faster, with everything flowing more loosely, flexibly playfully. And I sense vasanas can and do get more radically transformed as jiva mukti flows in to veheda mukti (spelling ?) As IT is seen to be all there is. Hey, it's easier to lose them during the dark night of the soul   doncha know? Wait till he finds out it's actually not Vedic to do   that...man will those vasanas be pissed! And of course the universal   black-hole of the soul is exponentially worse. Just because you left   your vasanas at the Otumwa mall, doesn't make it good. Just wait. I   always make certain my vasana-kshaya is 100% Vedic. Sure they have to sacrifice a goat, but dude, they do it in India... I've never had much interest in all that Vedic, Yogic, Brahman, Hiranyagarba, etc. Eastern esoterica, so if the space I've arrived in is not Vedicly kosher, I won't lose so much as one microsecond of sleep over it.  The inner/outer states don't have any brand names, schools or traditions at all so why worry about it? Really. But that doesn't change that what might have stated you was "x".
