Sakatagamin: Once-Returner - Only one more birth before total freedom.

Extinguish the first 3 plus partial on next 2 fetters.

4. Sensual desire
5. Aversion

Between the birth of a subpersona & solidification of ownership of that subpersona, the adhesives are desire & aversion. Subpersona are propelled toward a desired goal or repelled from a disliked object. As meditation deepens, the flow of bubble to "my self" image resolves into 3 facets: bubble, desire or aversion, and solidification of self image. The sakatagamin begins to note desire and aversion before each solidification into self-image. Instead of a flow from self-image to self-image, the sakatagamin’s perception makes a quantum leap inside. The engine that drives process of rebirth is the energetics of desire & aversion.

The sakatagamin notes each birth of a subpersona. The resolution of the perception is such that liberation is experienced with the origination of each cycle of bubble to desire/aversion to "my self" image. With the sotapan, the frame is a series of rebirths. The frame for a sakatagamin is a single rebirth.

Dependent Co-Origination: The sakatagamin penetrates the connection between the birth of a self (subpersona in the Jungian sense) and the desire or aversion that spawned it. In the transparency of the link between rebirth and desire-aversion, the cycle of rebirthing is further weakened. With each rebirth, the sakatagamin clarifies the relationship and deepens the experience of liberation.
