Nonduality is Intelligence
Nonduality is intelligence. It’s the intelligence that animates you and me. I’m not talking about knowledge, and I’m not talking about IQ. Think of it this way: imagine you’re a waitress—a really good waitress. You have knowledge and experience in how to do all sorts of things. You know the whole menu of your restaurant, …
Nonduality is Ancient
Nonduality is ancient, and I don’t mean it’s like some secret from some scroll somebody discovered a long time ago. I’m talking way, way before scrolls could even exist or anybody even thought of such a thing. I’m talking about the deep, deep ancient knowledge, the ancient intelligence of humanity itself, going back 100,000 years, …
Nonduality is Expansive
Nonduality is expansive, and it’s not so much like you become expansive because that’s an idea of you being separate, that you were small and you got bigger. Instead, we’re talking about the happening of expansiveness itself—the happening, the reality of open possibilities. The reality of not having to be fixed on things is where …

Thinking is Divided
The act of “Thinking” itself is divisive, because it is giving limited terms to everything. So, anything that can be described—the description is not the thing. This has to do with yourself and with the world that we live in.

Nonduality is showing us how to open up into a bigger part of our intelligence that can live life in a totally new way. This is where we need to all get to in order to grapple with the problems that we have going on here in society right now.
Nonduality is Undivided
Nonduality is undivided. When we stop dividing our experience into so many different things, then it’s obvious that each of us is just who we are. It’s an undivided state where nothing can convince me that I am not me. When we’re living in the divided state, you can constantly be swayed into thinking that …
Nonduality is Not Two
Nonduality is not two. When you look at that just straight on, it’s so obvious: there are not two of you. There’s particularly not two of you looking for nonduality; there’s only one of you looking for nonduality. Now, let’s take that down a little bit more. Stop having the “you” that’s looking for nonduality …
