Discrimination in yoga:
# Memory/Recall/Register = Smriti knowing (recalling)
# Imagination/Interpretation/Envisioning/Tuning into other's realities-karmas/Predictive systems/Fear of bad past repeating to any extent or worse/Desirious Anticipation of the good past repeating to any extent or better/Thought-thinking/Self/DMN = Maya knowing (playing)
# Sleep/Dreaming = Unclutched/Relaxation state knowing (relaxing)
# Clear-perception, Pure-perception, Bare-perception = Samadhi/Shruti knowing (understanding)
# Colored/Distorted/Goal-oriented/Tunneled/Lensed perception/AN = Siddhi knowing (becoming)
So the different knowings are:
Smriti, Maya, Relaxation, Samadhi/Shruti, Siddhi.
Functions:
Recalling, Playing, Relaxing, Understanding, Becoming
