Profitable consciousness in the supramundane plane (Buddhism)

The four kinds of consciousness are associated with the four paths: stream entry; once-return; non-return; arahantship.

All four give rise to materiality and to postures but not to intimation.

In Hinayana Buddhism, 89 consciousnesses are enumerated in aggregate (khanda). Of these, 21 are profitable or moral, 12 are unprofitable or immoral and 56 are indeterminate (resultant or functional). The unprofitable all arise in the sphere of sense and desire, whereas profitable and indeterminate arise in sense, fine-material, immaterial and supramundane spheres.
