	Nonduality - Rising Above Illusion and Identification
		The philosophy of Nonduality, or as it is called in India, Advaita-Vedanta, says that there is just One Spirit in the Universe, and that everything, living or inanimate, is an inseparable and indivisible part of this One Spirit.
		Nonduality further says that it is only illusion, caused by the mind and the play of the senses, which make us regard the world and everything in it, as real and separate from us.
		It is possible to realize the meaning of nonduality and attain spiritual awakening and enlightenment in an ashram or a cave, and it is also equally possible to do so while living in a town or city with family and job.

	Transpersonal Dimensions of Ecopsychology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ecopsychology is based on the recognition of a fundamental nonduality between humans and nature and on the insight that the failure to experience and act from this nonduality creates suffering for both humans and the environment.
		The issue of nonduality is somewhat complicated by the fact that there are several qualitatively different nondual states and that in one of these nondual states perception does disappear into a complete and absolute cessation.
		The descriptions of the dimensions of nondual Being are usually presented as a linear unfolding or development according to a "journey of ascent." This movement is the usual experience of the development of consciousness from the perspective of the individual.

		To assume aduality is nonduality is to be guilty of a serious fallacy, the pre-personal/trans-personal confusion fallacy, and to be further guilty of a bloody, monological gaze, reducing the poetic to the pathetic.
		Nonduality is only the highest level of this spirit, a spirit that encompasses and includes all, and is constantly unfolding and growing in awareness of itself towards its teleological goal of nonduality.
		Nonduality is the highest state of awareness, the level of awareness that all sentient life evolves towards.

	Nonduality
		The common element in nondual approaches to therapy is a focus on awakening an experience of the unconditioned mind for the therapist and client, and the on going cultivation of this experience.
		The function of nondual therapies is to introduce people to the unconditioned aspect of their existence, and then deepen and stabilize the experience.
		Nondual approaches to therapy invite us to be aware of our attachment and aversion to the present moment.

	Nondualism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nondualism may be viewed as the belief that dualism or dichotomy are illusory phenomena.
		A nondual philosophical or religious perspective or theory maintains that there is no fundamental distinction between mind and matter, or that the entire phenomenological world is an illusion (with reality being described variously as the Void, the Is, Emptiness, the mind of God, Atman or Brahman).
		While attitudes towards the experience of duality and self may vary, nondual traditions converge on the view that the ego, or sense of personal being, doer-ship and control, is ultimately said to be an illusion.

	Vedanta Nonduality
		Nonduality sees this human prudence as illusory (maya), while duality sees it as that which ties each of us to God in a personal relationship by which we are saved.
		Nonduality is in opposition to all the basic rational concepts in the Writings that the New Church mind must contain in order to regenerate and become heavenly.
		Nonduality as a system of thinking acts in opposition to these permanent dualities and strives to establish a continuity between them, fudging the categorical and absolute distinction.

	An Introduction to Nonduality
		Nonduality means "not two" or "nonseparation." It is the sense that all things are interconnected and not separate, while at the same time all things retain their individuality.
		The taste of nonduality is the sense or experience of unity, peace, "something" vaster than the everyday you.
		The taste may be known through an experience in nature, from music or art, from being deeply involved in a hobby or work, from being in the "zone" during an athletic event, from sex, a walk in the park, dance, surfing, having a few beers, or other social interaction.

	Nonduality - Gurupedia
		Nonduality is the nature of reality according to teachings (generally originating in Asia) such as Advaita, Buddhism and Dzogchen, and probably Taoism as well.
		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".
		Yet Carlos never seems to acknowledge the nondual implications in his stories: "Naturally, he heard the inner voice, but he believed it to be his own feelings he was feeling and his own thoughts he was thinking." (Castaneda, 1987, chap.

	What is nonduality, nondualism, Advaita? Part One
		The world perceived through the senses, the phenomenal world as we know it, was described in early Buddhism as "empty" because it was taught that all such phenomena arise from causes and conditions, are in a constant state of flux, and are destined to change and pass away in time.
		Nonduality is realized when we discover how essential self-power derived from knowledge of the self and intellect is to Other power, yet that Other power is greater than the ego-self and its misuse of self-power.
		Nonduality means that the inner revelation and the outer expression of the personality are one and the same.

	The Primary Nonduality of YHVH and The Tao - first separation and final re-union
		Many have difficulty conceptualizing nonduality and the masculine feminine duality relationship, so lets go back to first principles and, at the same time, try and keep things as simple as possible.
		What people seem to miss is that the nonduality of Tao is dynamic, moving, changing, never fixed as an idea.
		Nonduality, The Union of the Masculine and Feminine dualities is the essence of Sacred Tantra - yet it is not a Union but a continual interchange of energies - as in homeostasis.

	One: Essential Writings on Nonduality, by Jerry Katz
		If nonduality makes sense to us as a good perspective from which to live life, then it would be worthwhile to know who is living life that way, what they’re doing, and why their work is significant.
		Nonduality is showing up in some surprising ways in today's culture, as seen by examples from education, art, pschotherapy, and the movies.
		Nonduality is a hard concept to grasp at first because the mind is trained to make distinctions in the world and nondualism is the rejection of distinction.

	3rd Millennium Gateway Spirituality - Nonduality
		Traditionally, Advaita is a branch of Vedanta, the philosophy derived from the Hindu Vedas.
		Nonduality teaches that spiritual awakening, also known as enlightenment, is your birthright.
		For those who have broken away from conservative and repressive religious backgrounds, one of the more attractive features of Nonduality is that it does not promote morality as an ideology, or as an end in itself, or as a goal of spirituality.

	Christianity in the Light of Asian NonDuality
		Asian 'nonduality' catalyzes the rediscovery of the pole of unitive identity in Christianity.
		The nonduality here, comprehending heaven and earth, God and the universe, God and all humanity, is not the nonduality of the beginning (focus of the Asian traditions), but the nonduality of the end.
		Nonduality, in the Christian context, pursues a distinctive course which may be summed up in the word 'incarnation.' This may be traced in the Incarnation proper - when ' the Word became flesh' in Jesus Christ.

		The second type of story to communicate nonduality on film, would be the chronicle of a person's discovery of nonduality and the impact this made on life.
		The camera and film in particular, may be especially well suited to express nonduality in form because of the visual nature of film and the representation of an all inclusive gaze that imoves through the environment which film affords.
		Not too many movies present or suggest nonduality by form or by content, and in that light, "The Thin Red Line" isn't only a very well made (and realistic) movie with an interesting and captivating story and a superb cinematography, but also a unique experiment in visual storytelling and communication.

	3rd Millennium Gateway - Nonduality FAQ
		The shift often referred to in Nonduality teachings, although not at all visual, is similarly a sudden perceptual change and is also brought about by a change in focus.
		Occasionally, students of Nonduality will naively argue that actions taken to correct any form of social evil are pointless, because the correction is never permanent and the evil will just return in one form or another.
		Nonduality is characteristic of religions which are experience oriented, such as Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Taoism and some others.

	Nonduality: The Varieties of Expression
		Those who attempt to express the Indescribable Inescapable Isness of Nonduality are often awkward and inarticulate as the baffling of words fails always to point to this Naked Awareness that IS the True-Nature of this appearance.
		Jerry does this startlingly well: "Nonduality Is The Experience Of Your True nature." That is a great pointer, and as the natural seeing develops from that, it is ultimately seen to NOT be a "personal experience" at all (!), but rather the impersonal choiceless "experience of immortality" as one sage titled this Absolute Being-Aliveness.
		In the world of nonduality, Radiant Mind is one of the few all-encompassing, structured nondual teachings for students of the early 2000s.

	Advaita Non-Duality Nonduality Final Dialogue
		The primary focus of this advaita nonduality teaching is on 'liberation' of the self, or as Wolfgang Bernard refers to it, 'The Final Dialogue.'
		This site does not exist to convince anyone to follow my or anybody else's teaching; it exists so that those may contact me who intuitively hear/feel the urge that I can be of help to them in 'reaching' the ultimate final accomplishment of their personal existence.

	THE VIABILITY OF NONDUALITY
		I will claim that in the state of nonduality a person is free from affective and existential dualities, while I will also claim that conceptual (or cognitive) duality is innocuous and quite compatible with nonduality in an affective and existential sense.
		There are two contexts in which the role of thinking in nondual living is especially relevant:thinking as used in day-to-day dealings with the world, and thinking as used in meditation as part of the process of “deconstruction” or dissolution of affective and existential duality.
		Strictly speaking, there are no means to achieve nonduality, for before thinking ever occurred we already were in a state of nonduality to begin with, and any means such as thinking, having to conceive nonduality as a goal, would only create further duality between the person and the goal.

	Open Integral » Blog Archive » Nonduality revisited
		Yet nondual realization is IN each and every stage, as they are, as is. The mistake is in thinking there is enlightement on the one hand and samsara on the other, and that nonduality is some “integration” of those 2 things.
		The monist nondualism of zen allows for all the rest of Ken’s relative, developmental project as is, as an expression of each and every state and stage but enlightenment is not in any one of them.
		But by using the nondual ground to, well, ground our relative altitudes, by seeing that there is no “absolute” apart from our relativity, by removing that power drive we can still compassionately embrace all just as they are while even giving them relative addresses of altitude.

	Nonduality - Path To Spiritual Awakening
		The philosophy of nonduality comes from the East, where it is called Advaita Vedanta.
		Nonduality is not just a theory, but one can realize it experimentally and live a life in which nonduality is a practical reality.
		In order to explain the phenomena of the world the philosophy of nonduality says that some kind illusion called Maya arises in the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent spirit.

	Reality Sandwich \| Polytheism and Nonduality
		From the perspective of nonduality, polytheism and polymorphism become not theological propositions, if they were ever intended to be that way, but representations of the variety of experience, the plurality of modes in which the world presents itself to consciousness.
		This is the great value of polytheism/polymorphism for the nondual path: to convince us that even the most sublime of theophanies is an interpretation as well as a revelation, that even the most refined of theological concepts are ultimately approximations.
		With the deep ecumenism of the nondual view, it becomes clear that what animates so many of the religious conflicts of our time is less the religion itself than the mythic way in which it is understood.

	duality and nonduality: homeostasis and the play of consciousness
		Nonduality integrates all singular perspectives or points of view into a comprehensive whole where there is no observed, no observer and no observation.
		beyond the duality between existence and non-existence, nonduality is a time-space perception of homeostasis.
		Evolution is the result of dis-ease (a masculine-feminine duality imbalance) and is the manifestation of this imbalance in form leading to mutation of the feminine principle in an attempt to find absolute homeostasis with a changing masculine principle or environmental change.

	Nonduality in the Vedic and Biblical Traditions
		Though a majority of Hindus believe that the nonduality of Shankara is the supreme truth, most of them practice the path of devotion and worship of the various manifestations of Supreme Being, (as Vishnu, Siva, Krishna and Rama) and the path of self-less action.
		But there is qualitative difference between a person who had the nondualistic experience and lives in the qualified nonduality and duality and a person who lives in qualified nonduality and duality without having nondualistic experience.
		Nondual experience, in this tradition, is reserved only to Jesus and is closed to Christians.

	NADA-zero-infinity: E. T. NADA: THE INEXPRESSIBLE DOOR OF NONDUALITY
		Seeking neither good nor evil, the understanding of the nonduality of the significant and the meaningless is the entrance into nonduality.
		Thus, the nondualism of the vision of their nature is the entrance into nonduality.
		Who thus abides in nonduality is without ideation, and that absence of ideation is the entrance into nonduality.

	Yagelski, "Computers, Literacy, and Being"
		Loy's primary goal in his study is to "extract and elucidate a 'core doctrine' of nonduality" (6) from three major Asian traditions or "nondualist systems": Buddhism, Vedanta, and Taoism.
		It would be easy to dismiss this idea of nonduality as naïve idealism lacking in intellectual or philosophical rigor in the traditional academic sense.
		Sosa goes on to argue that "a profound change in perception is a necessary condition for solving the problems of climate change, population growth, wholesale deforestation, municipal and industrial pollution, the erosion of biological diversity, grinding poverty, unjust social institutions, and international equality" (49).

		When someone else receives that love, it is like oneself receiving it — since no longer does one insist upon the claims of a single form, having identified oneself with life in all its forms.
		In nonduality there is freedom from limitation, as well as the knowledge and appreciation of things as they are.
		In nonduality alone is there the realization of the true spiritual infinity that secures abiding and unfading bliss.

		Nonduality exists within the homeostasis of the duality of the masculine and feminine principles
		Some describe the first separation from the nonduality of Adam into Adam and Eve representing the polarities of Masculine and Feminine; then we have the nonduality of Life represented by the interaction of Heaven (masculine) and Earth (feminine); the Chinese have the Tai-Chi composed of Yin and Yang.
		Through homeostasis, the hologram is evolving - both the hologram of the warp and the weft (masculine and feminine duality) of the weave (nonduality) of the cloth.
