the sages and saints, the really really wise ones, use the description of the Self or God or the real I as sat-chit-ananda, (chit meaning consciousness). this expression has been around for many many thousands of years..and here you are telling us theres no such thing as consciousness....how funny..
were they god?
actually yes...i'm talking about totally enlightened beings who returned to normal consciousness and gave us teachings...about sat chit and ananda...that god word is pretty funny isnt it..some people think god is on a throne looking down and judging..while others have realized it was a word that pointed to the reality that you really are..

when people are saying that there is separation ...they are usually expressing that they dont know god..that's why people try to get enlightened. they dont want to feel separated from god....how well do you actually know god..do you know god to be your own Self? to me..that is really knowing god..
