Hi James, thank you for your reply - I am very pleased that Chapter 2 will be following soon.  Some of the questions I asked..some of the answers are weaved into subsequent sūtra-s, if one is patient enough to get to the end.  However there was one I am curious and would love to hear your comment on, on 1.32 - I wrote:

Tattva then is puruṣa, the enabling consciousness but neither Īśvara or the concerted effort to foster steadiness (1.13) can be explicitly found in the sāṅkhya model of reality.  Are these two and whatever else is included in puruṣa That-ness?  I am also curious, does watching ourselves watching, observe ourselves feeling, make us the seer?  Or are we forever the seen?  And if we can be both is there another level of tattva not on the sāṅkhya model that accomodates that fusion?
