I had read somewhere that in the vedas the awareness can be divided into four categories, i.e chitta (consciousness/conscience), manas (heart/want/desire), aham (ego) and buddhi (intelligence). Each of these categories can be further divided down and there are all total of 14 sub-categoris. Can anyone tell me the name of all the sub-categories?

There are 17 divisions of the subtle body. Do you know if that is related to what you asked? Because manas (mind) is also one division of the subtle body. – Rickross Aug 22 '19 at 05:08

Soul consists of mind, intellect and resolves (impressions).
Mind consists of 7 good layers and 7 bad layers. Humans who destroy the 7 bad layers using their intellect will succeed in life.
7 good layers are love, purity, knowledge, happiness, bliss, power, peace. 7 bad layers are lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, hatred, jealousy.
