Perhaps Anandam would be a better term, and of course there is nothing stupid about Anandam (as MMY puts it) it is the essence of *consciousness*, pure consciousness! Blissful as in happy is a relative term, not Ananda, Ananda is eternal. We do not lose consciousness when we transcend, we expand our consciousness into PURE consciousness, Sat, Chit, Anandam, according to MMY. Right we have a small degree of pure consciousness maybe 10% tops as they say...lets expand that and achieve the FULL potential of the mind to pure conscious bliss. > --- "BillyG." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" > > <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > If you're aware *of* bliss as a "something," as > > > blissfulness, that isn't no thoughts/no mantra, > > > by definition. > > > > I think I see the problem now, you must remember > > that MMY's > > description of Samadhi includes *three* adjectives, > > it's Absolute > > (Sat, eternal without a second), Chit > > (Consciousness) and Ananda > > (Bliss, not *blissful* in the animated sense). > > > > Of course there is consciousness during TC, TC is > > nothing but your > > conscious bliss, get it?
