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 …

Nonduality is Still a Lie
Nonduality is still a lie. This is one of my favorite ways to look at it because there’s no way you can define the non-dual state. So anything that you say about it really isn’t the truth. Something that isn’t the truth is a lie. So, no matter how much we try to define it, …
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.
It’s only our critical mind that likes to divide things. The rest of us just likes to look, participate and enjoy.
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.

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 …
Nonduality is Untethered
Nonduality is untethered. In life that there are so many things that try to tie us down. One of the biggest things is our definitions of who we should be and how we should be. We’re constantly told that we’re not good enough. Just the very definitions we have of what a human being should …
Nonduality is Unbroken
Nonduality is unbroken, and by that I mean that no matter what has happened to you in your life, there is a part of you that is unbroken. This part is dynamic and alive, and is actually the part that wants to be animating your life. On the other hand, duality—all of our conditionings, all …
Nonduality is Related
Nonduality is related. Everything is related with everything else, just as my hand is related to my arm. It’s attached to my head and my legs. I am related to my environment. I’m related to the air. Take it a little step further out: I’m related to all the animals on the Earth. Native teachings …
