On Intuition & Samapatti

Abstract

In this essay, I will discuss what the ancient Vedic teachers had discovered by using the Samapatti/Siddhi state; it was Consciousness, and they showed it is indeed a fundamental of the whole reality. I will begin with a diagrammatic representation of how this understanding relates to the experiences I had in the state of Samapatti as a healer: Sat, which represents existence, Chit which represents knowing, and Ananda which represents bliss. To understand why these terms are used will become evident after the rather lengthy explanation develops piece by piece. I say this deliberately rather than saying step by step, because the way I encountered the information was a random path more than a systematic step by step process, based on a series of assumptions arising from thoughts about Satchitananda.
