The metaphysical basis for Integral Health — Consciousness-Force: implications in psychology and healing
By Soumitra Basu - Oct 15, 2014
It is difficult to describe the Absolute as its experiential realisation in Transcendence surpasses our usual cognitive grasp. When the experience was sought to be conveyed to the world, Indian yogis used the famous term Sachchidananda — a triune of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss — to describe the nature of Reality. It is important to note that the three terms are not additive; they are different poises of the same Reality and form a complex triune. As ‘Existence’, Reality is present as the inmost essence of everything and in this poise is known as the Self. As ‘Bliss’, Reality carries within itself the intrinsic and motiveless joy of self-expression, self-manifestation and self-creation.

True faith has to be cultivated deep within as a soul quality that eventually passes into knowledge. Faith can be cultivated systematically where one learns not to have faith on one’s ego but in the Truth of one’s being.
