  Nondualism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advanced views and practices are found in the Mahamudra and Maha Ati, which emphasize the vividness and spaciousness of nondual awareness.
Mahayana Buddhism, in particular, tempers the view of nonduality (wisdom) with respect for the experience of duality (compassion) — ordinary dualistic experience, populated with selves and others (sentient beings), is tended with care, always "now".
Gnosticism, however, is usually thought of as a dualistic view.

 Spiritual Healers
Energy healing is based on a dualistic understanding, or relative reality and Spiritual healing is based on some degree of realization of the non-dual, absolute nature of life.
Absolute awareness is non dualistic because it is the one true source of absolute peace, love, wisdom, supply, health and harmony.
Non- dual awareness is undifferentiated, which means it is the inseparable union of absolute and relative reality.

In this sense, dualism is usually associated with the path of devotion, and non-dualism with the path of knowledge.
One should realize that in India, most people follow a devotional, therefore dualistic religion, but the already ancient interaction with the non-dualistic conceptions enables spiritual people and sages to readily pass from one to another; this contributes to the fecundity and vitality of Hindu thought and religious practices.
Hindu dualists take the simile of a lump of sugar : one must be different from the lump of sugar to be able to enjoy its taste : but it is less respectful of the Absolute to consider it as a lump of sugar and to want to make it an object of tasting.

One who is free from dualistic modes of being enters a world in which both subject and object exist.
This is a non-objective mode of being where "all self-centeredness has been emptied, where words and concepts are used not to divide but to unite, the self enters into a mode of being of the other and identifies itself completely with the other"(Taitetsu 130).

 Gustavo Marques, "Criticizing Dow and Chick's Dualism", Post-Autistic Economics Review, issue 35
According to Dow, dualists think by means of pairs of concepts (called “duals”) and their arguments are directed to defend one of its poles.
They would say, instead, that what is dualistic is my own interpretation of uncertainty as being like the second case, and would vindicate a non dualistic view of uncertainty, that, in their view, conforms the kernel of post-Keynesian thought.
The General Theory is dualistic in the second of the senses described by Dow: it represents a dualistic reaction against mainstream dualism, which limits itself to model those situations in which “rational” and “irrational” may be applied to decisions without ambiguity.

Dualistic logic (the ego) is based on the mistake of identifying and substituting an idea for the reality it attempts to describe.
The entire concept of separation, for example, can be illustrated by the analogy of a fun house mirror, which appears to distort whatever is placed before it.
What is born out of dualistic thought (which is usually at its height after a tragedy such as war) is an attitude and a way of being that is aggressive, exclusive, defensive, and militant.

 On "I Went Into the Maverick bar"
The poet takes a stance against duality or dualistic thinking, which is of course an action which proceeds from dualistic mind.
The reader is expected to understand the poet’s moment of awareness, to sympathize with the poet’s momentary sympathy, and ultimately to concur with the poet’s anti-dualistic dualism.
Gary Snyder writes poems which capture, value, present dualistic moments for their own sake, since it would be dualistic to segregate samsara (Buddhist hell—clinging to life, objects, concepts, etc., out of fear of sunyata, the void) from nirvana.

Creativity and creation is essentially a dualistic activity (seeking meaning and technology) that arose from the non-dual to find the One.
As the creative urge behind this is dualistic it began to become focussed on dualistic meaning and on finding an artistic conclusion.
The closer dualistic art gets to non-dualistic aesthetics then the closer the meaning of the work is a call to abandon art and find meaning through goodness and love in the world.

 Diversity of Yoga Styles
Although we have become familiar with the acquired/conditioned dualistic framework of chronic separation, we gradually cease to limit our view in dualistic terms until this state of yoga (as unity) is known continuously as our True Self nature, while the dualistic framework is known as an artificially contrived thought construct.
To reiterate, the main stumbling block is the negative programming that reinforces the belief of dualistic "reality" or separate self, the need, or the value of aversion/withdrawal separation (ego) in the first place.
The predominantly intellectual approach that is commonly called jnana yoga, is most often associated with "Vedanta" who for the most part consider the identification with the body, nature, and life itself to be the cause of suffering (maya) which they discern as separate from Brahman (True Self) such as found in the Brahma Sutras.

Even that statement lends itself to misinterpretation because of the fact that words are dualistic symbols, so they cannot adequately express a non-dualistic truth.
In fact, there are no "things" for God to encompass because the idea of separate "things" is a dualistic notion born of the belief in separation.
That very idea is a dualistic one which is not consistent with the metaphysics of the Course.

He states that the nature of God and His Oneness cannot be adequately communicated in words because it is a pure non-dualistic reality, while words are the dualistic symbols of separation; the means of expression and thinking of a split, dualistic mind.
Therefore, any attempt to use dualistic symbols to describe a non-dualistic reality must fail, inevitably falling short of adequately expressing the truth of oneness which lies beyond all symbols.
Oneness simply is. At best, all we can do is attempt to describe an approximate outline of God's nature, as well as to describe what He is not, keeping in mind that our words are but "symbols of symbols," and "are thus twice removed from reality" (Manual for Teachers, section 1).

Abstract: Organic and conventional agriculture are considered different not only because of distinct food production practices, but also because organic production is thought to rest on non-dualistic and non-modern views of the natural world.
However, views of nature that were expressed in the debate leading up to the US decision not to develop certification standards for fish and shellfish show that organic views of nature are quite complicated, and cannot easily be categorized as either dualistic or non-dualistic.
The paper identifies three themes: how those in the organic movement conceptualized the relationship between “organic” and “natural;” the emphasis on control as a key dimension of organic practice; and ways that different organisms were classified as being similar or different from each other.

 The Unconscious.
It is the problem of trying to communicate the consciousness of the non-dualistic reality in terms that are essentially dualistic.
There we are still in a dualistic position and so we have to say that everything I have said this morning is a lie as we ascend into that unity where the contrast of physical and psychical no longer exists.
This seed, transcending sensation as well as conception is the ultimate reality and it is all-conscious; but from it, a universe, a cosmos may be projected and this process of projection is by a deliberate, partial obscuration of consciousness, and that gives us objects.

It retains the integrity of a non-dualistic metaphysical system, yet allows its truth to be reflected into the dualistic world where the Son believes he lives.
Forgiveness is thus the process of correcting the ego's symbols (belonging to the dualistic world), thereby undoing the ego thought system and making room for the non-dualistic truth to be recognized and accepted.
Our final passage in this section on forgiveness provides yet another clear description of the dualistic nature of forgiveness, which is based upon the contrast of opposites, but which should not be confused with the non-dualistic reality that has no opposite.

 Neti Neti-More than this
Thus "neti neti" as a statement means that we are not anything separate as in the disparate dualistic framework of a separate "I/ it" subject/object duality context (versus the sacred non-dual and transpersonal "I-Thou" context) wherein we identify as a finite expression integrally part of a boundless spirit (like a wave on the ocean).
The orthodox scholar, dualist, and common man mistakes the expression to say that we are not the body, but the yogi takes it to say that we are all inclusive, the body, and the river, and the stars -- not just one of these limited and false identifications.
Thus monism is really a dualistic system -- an error in which one acknowledges the source/creator by negating or ignoring the creation – where the observer is separated from the observed.

 FACIM Article: The Historical Context for ITIP-ACIM
This is clearly a dualistic theology, holding that both spirit and matter are real, though integrated as one.
This is why, though it is stated differently in the text, Jesus uses theology as one of his examples of the "ego's plan for forgiveness," which makes the error of sin real by having its made-up god react to it.
These are dualistic concepts that are meaningful to the dualistic mind of the separation, but can have no meaning to a Mind that is One.

 The Advaita Vedânta Home Page - The Philosophy of Advaita
It is this characteristic of dualistic knowledge, derived from perception alone, that prompts the advaitin to call it mithyAjnAna (false knowledge).
One might call it a mystic experience of brahman, in which to know brahman is to be brahman.
Thus, rather than being atheistic or non- theistic, advaita vedAnta is meta-theistic: it points to the basic underlying Reality of all, including what humans call God, what humans call the universe, and what humans call human.

 Mahayana idea of emptiness
It is worth emphasizing that the removal of psychological obstructions, which originate from the belief in and attachment to discriminative concepts such as 'self' and 'other', leads to a transformation of our entire consciousness - a transformation that affects thought, feeling and perception.
Since dualistic thinking has been transcended, it makes no sense to ask whether we are having a vision of God, or whether 'God' is manifesting himself (or itself) in our awareness.
It is a realm of being free from the bondage of the tangible, dualistic notion of relationship, of being able to transcend the relative concepts of self and others, and of being equal to space and the universe.

Outside the rigid myopia of compartmentalized religious dogma, the Hebrew, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and perhaps even the Tantric traditions, can be seen as branches of a single tree.
These branches all share a common trunk and roots: the universal mystical spirituality of the absolute unity of the Divine, and the primacy of love, surrender, and discrimination as the means for spiritual awakening from dualistic sleep.
Vedantic philosophyThe term ‘Vedanta’ means "end of the Vedas." calls these three levels of awareness dualistic (dvaita), qualified non-dualistic (vasishtadvaita), and unqualified non-dualistic (advaita).

Some such questions which invite attention are the dualistic theory of knowledge, the incommunicability of the identity-experience, the role of the other in one’s authentic destiny, the practicality of the jnaana path and the bodily nature of man. We shall consider briefly each of these topics.
In a dualistic epistemological stand, objectivity of knowledge would be lacking as each type of knowledge, viz., the phenomenal and the noumenal, would be true only from their respec-tive points of view.
Thus, Shankara’s dualistic epistemological theory does not account for objectivity of knowledge and genuine objective communication.
