Embracing Our True Nature

The Journey to Satcitananda

In our journey through life, it’s not uncommon to feel less than magnificent. Yet, it is essential to remember that magnificence isn’t just a part of us; it is us. Our true essence lies in a state known as Ananda – a state of bliss. This concept is deeply rooted in the philosophical idea of Satcitananda, which translates to truth (Sat), consciousness (Chit), and bliss (Ananda).

#### The Distractions of Daily Life

Our daily lives are filled with distractions. These distractions, whether they be work, relationships, or personal challenges, can make us lose sight of our true nature. In such moments, we might only be aware of our existence, neglecting the aspects of consciousness and bliss. This limited awareness can make us feel disconnected, not just from ourselves but from the world around us.


#### Existence Beyond Individuality

When we talk about existence in the context of Satcitananda, we’re referring to something much grander than just existing as an individual entity. It’s about recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and understanding that our existence is part of a larger, more profound reality.

#### Consciousness Beyond Self

Similarly, when we speak of consciousness, it’s not just about individual awareness. It’s about a universal consciousness that connects all beings. This consciousness is more than just our thoughts and perceptions; it’s an awareness that transcends the self and touches the essence of everything in the universe.


#### The Trifecta of Satcitananda

We are not just one or two of these elements – existence, consciousness, and bliss – but all three, and more. We are a complex tapestry of experiences and qualities that make up our true selves. Recognizing and embracing this can lead to a deeper understanding of our place in the world and our connection to everything around us.

#### Conclusion

In essence, the journey towards realizing our nature as Satcitananda is a journey inward. It’s about peeling back the layers of distraction and societal conditioning to reveal the truth of who we are. It’s a journey worth embarking on, for it leads to a deeper, more fulfilling experience of life.

Welcome to another episode of Enlighten Up! In episode 6, we continue our spiritual journey with our hosts, Spiritual Teacher, Morgan O. Smith and Comedian, Nathan Griffith. Joining them is special guest, Michael Johnston, who brings an intriguing set of questions about spirituality and existence.
In this episode, Michael probes into some of the fundamental questions about God and existence: If we’re all aspects of God, why not just enjoy the experience? Does God experience pain? Why is there a need for God? And does God experience alternate realities?
Further exploring the concept of nothingness and the power of choice, the conversation takes a deep dive into the realm of spiritual enlightenment. Morgan talks about his ultimate experience with concepts like Turiyatitta, Absolute Monism, Moksha, and Nondual Suchness.
The discussion also focuses on the technology behind the Yinnergy meditation program and what the concept of the ’empty witness’ entails. From accepting negative situations and events to explaining what spiritual enlightenment truly is, this episode is brimming with enlightening insights.
The conversation further delves into the subjective experience we each have, with Michael presenting a fascinating point about our interactions with people around us. Join us as we challenge our understanding of spirituality, life, and the cosmos.
