This relates to discussions in the Zoroastrianism DIR.
“Hindu philosophy emphatically declares that mind is matter -- although extremely subtle matter. Hindu psychology does not see any difference between matter and energy. Hindus recognize psychic energy, which they considered to be the manifestation of the cosmic energy called Prana, long before Professor Jung felt the need for a concept of psychic energy. The oldest school of religious philosophy, the Sankya school, which is several thousand years old -- saw no difference between matter and energy. (Ed: nor later did Einstein!)”

“So chitta, the real consciousness, the primary consciousness of Vedanta, appears both as matter and as conventional consciousness: vyavaharika chitta. This real chitta is sat-chitta, existence-consciousness, while our empirical consciousness is a chitta-vritti, mode of consciousness, a mixture of the subject and the object. For the same reason even the limited subject is a vritti, a mode of consciousness.”

I am sure Lord Krishna must have explained it in BhagawadGita (e.g., from where consciousness arises?). I will post that later. For more, try this: https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1LENP_enIN576IN576&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=hinduism consciousness arises from&es_th=1
What objects? There are no objects. There are thoughts. ‘Dhyana’ and ‘Dharana’ is about thoughts and not a swinging pendulum or a the flame of a candle.

’I-me-mine’ belong to Vyavaharika. Mind has the power to leave these behind. Pre-suppositions, prejudices bind mind. Once they are abandoned you are in the land of ‘sat-chitta’. That is where meditation is necessary, for abandoning, for dissociating.
