Additional references from Pali Buddha-Dhamma, Bhagawan Nityananda & Advaita Vedanta, Ra Material, core Taoism, transpersonal psychology & Western metaphysics. Samutta Nikaya 55.3:

"Therefore, Dighavu, when you are established in these four factors of stream entry [Conviction-Buddha/Dhamma/Sangha, Generosity, Virtue-Kamma, Discernment-Views], you should further develop 6 qualities conducive to clear knowing:

"Remain focused on inconstancy in all fabrications, percipient of stress in what is inconstant, percipient of not-self in what is stressful, percipient of abandoning, percipient of dispassion, percipient of cessation. That's how you should train yourself."
