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.
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 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 …
Nonduality is Sanity
Nonduality is sanity. The opposite of that, the divided mind is what’s so crazy. You can see that at any moment in your life. Where do all your fears come from? Where do all your worries come from? It’s because you feel like you are separate, battling with the world, trying to get what you …
