Nonduality means connection

Non-duality means connection. We so often think that it means, “The death of the false self” and all these things. Well, this false self is the only thing that is making you imagine that you’re separate. Once that’s gone, all that’s left is connection.

Think about even the simplest connections, like you and a friend, right? That is a constantly changing thing; it’s a dynamic more than it’s actually a thing. So, all these connections, like things, don’t actually exist; what exists is our connection with them.

Like I have a guitar sitting right here, right? I play it, so I have a connection with the guitar; something happens, music comes out when I play the guitar. So, it’s the connection that’s moving, breathing, changing. If we keep a good part of our attention on that, we’ll always have the desire to create healthy connections. That should probably be a little more important than dissolving into the unknown.
