Zoom dance – Non Duality
First in our series with Eric Putkonen
What is non-duality?
Non-duality is covered in a lot of different traditions. It comes from Advaita Vedanta primarily, because what we call non-duality is derived from Advaita. which means “Not two.” But other traditions study it as well. Buddhism, Sufis and Dervishes talk about non-duality.
In a nutshell, poetically, you could say there is just oneness, there is no other, there is no second. This however brings up the idea of a me, an individuality, with a center of some kind. That’s two. It is but an illusion obscuring the fact that there’s just oneness there’s unicity only.
Non-duality can be challenging for people who are studying it because it feels like you’re always being told no. No… it’s not that. No it’s not this.
It is hard to grasp for a lot of people because most spiritual traditions, and the way we interact in the world, is from a dualistic separation. A “me” with a point of view. There’s always a “me” trying to get somewhere. There’s a “me” trying to get something. There’s a “me” trying to become. In non-duality, instead, you’re just realizing you’re that and seeing that the false is false.
So you’re seeing that this “me” isn’t who and what you are. This other doesn’t exist and there is simply the inherent nonduality, conscious self, ultimate reality … pick your term.
