10 Aspects of Consciousness parallels in Eastern Schools
-
I recently read in some B.O.T.A literature that the 10 aspects of Consciousness used in the QBListic system (Sephiroth) also exist in Eastern Schools. I am wondering what those parallales may be? I am not aware of any, who has a clue?

If possible, a citation might be helpful. (Most BOTA material is under obligation, so it may not be possible.)
Going only from memory of Case's voluminous material - I suspect he was saying that the same forms of consciousness are acknowledged, not necessarily that it is in a 10-fold list.
There are tables in 777 which match the Sephiroth to layers of consciousness in various Eastern models. Start there.

I'm going to list everything I can think of...
The tattwas have their own conscious expressions which have been mapped out on the Tree of Life here:

There are the 9 Jhanas which refer to stages of enlightenment. Add 1 more for malkuth and that would make 10. ? www.jhanas.com
There are inner, outer and secret expressions for the Body, Speech and Mind in Vajrayana, which makes 9, and then there is the unification and sublimation of them all into the transcendental state.
There are 10 Fetters in Buddhism.
There are 10 stages in the famous Zen ox-herder parable. (OX!)
There are 10 paramitas in the Dasabhumika Sutra.
There is this: lato.stanford.edu/entries/kukai/#TenStaDevMin which deals with the different schools of Buddhism.
There are 10 Bodhisattva stages of enlightenment.
My guess is that either the Zen ox-herder or the 10 Bodhisattva stages is what was being referred to, if it was Buddhist.
