Do you know what Sat Chit Anand is?

What have you learned?
Have you experienced it?

Sometimes it could be called Satchitananda.
(Not to be confused with the Swami!! Lol!)

Do you seek it?
How do you get to Satchitanand?

Is it a different word for samadhi or nirvana or even Cosmic Consciouness as coined by Dr. Bucke, c 1901?

Have you experienced those?

My answer: Oh, yes.

Are you now obessed with it?
Is it truly the only thing that matters?
Does ANYTHING really satisfy you after experiencing it?
Has it changed your life forever?


Pick a question, any question...

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

I don't know about the actual words you use and what they might mean to different people but I always try to find and hold my bliss.

"Samadhi, Awake, Lucid?" always bring me joy and a smile to my face for no apparent reason other than that I am. I try to obtain it at least once a day if I can, But I have discovered that I am not (at this time) comfortable with or able to remember to hold it for extended periods of time;...............

Greetings..

Be present for the Life you are living, detach from so many concepts that one conflicts with the other in a confusion of irrational beliefs..

Be well..

Yes, I know that Truth is Consciousness of Bliss... in my own experience.

I've learned this bliss has many subtle and passionate expressions, all without thought...
some as ecstasy, some as pure silent presence
some as love itself, some as simple happiness or joy for no reason

some of the inner heart, some of the whole body

and some in the unboundaried wholeness of everything.

If ever I lose awareness of This in these times of near constancy
I get back by letting go of whatever is not That.

Seems like you're asking us. I'm interesting in what you have to say about it.

Nothing satisfies us for long anyway, tho Yogandanda excludes direct experience of God.

In my view, nothing but what is eternal can satisfy us forever.
