There is no special plane of chitta. Chitta in the language of the old Yogas meant the stuff of consciousness out of which thought, will, memory, emotion, desire, sensation all arise – all these are called chittavritti, movements of the chitta. It was distinguished from Chit, the higher or divine consciousness.
