The PC along with the thought is enough to disolve the vasana at the root of the repeated thought pattern. No this is not what I am referring to. The Sanskrit word would be   "vidya", short for "brahma-vidya" or "rigpa" in Tibetan. OK.  Thanks. But it appears that the " "atma-vidya" "-- having pure awareness along with thoughts -- can unknot some knots. But the deepest knots require "brama-vidya". Parallel to releasing vasanas on physical plane, compared to those on astral and causal planes -- per yogananda model of things.  Still, there is the question: if brama-vidya unknots the deepst of knots, won't that state tend to also prevent new knots. Along lines of "a stick through water" sort of thing? It might depend on how well you could rest in the Natural State and how good your integration is.
