What You Must Know About Non-Duality?

By Alex D White


The world we live in today is what was created by us, the language we speak, the ethics we follow and everything that we know. We know that there are two opposites in the world for everything, if there is up there is down, so is inside and outside, right or wrong and you and me. This simply showcases that our world is a dualistic world, but are you sure if the world that you live in is the real world and the opposites do exists as you know them.

The state of non-duality is something that doesn't follow the line of opposites, which goes beyond the world we know. However, how can one know about non-duality, when the discussion itself is known to be dualistic? Therefore first you need to know what the difference between being dualistic and non-dualistic is.

In the last few years even the scientists has agreed to this that everything has comprises from the same single substance, everything we know about nature and surrounding is probably because of the Big Bang and therefore the sense of being and our consciousness does come from it.

People are also known to experience non-duality through meditation or spiritual practices, while performing certain activity or without doing anything by becoming self-aware. Try to refer to this, have you ever felt deeply unsatisfied or intensely unhappy, it can be considered as you realizing that there is a state of freedom, which is known as non-duality. The need of being happy and satisfied will give rise to the curiosity of being non-dual and non-separated.

Once you experience non-duality, you start to acknowledge non-duality more and more. And in the journey of getting more acquainted to non-duality, you start following books, teachers and communities. Pursuit of non-duality might also lead you to spiritual practices, urge you to meet with non-dual teachers and even change your mind as a result of criticism.

Non-duality refers to as we are not separate and we come from something deeper, larger and more meaningful than the regular us, following non-duality will further lead you to the discovery of the real us.

When one starts to follow non-duality, they do believe that they are not a separate person and they also go around telling others that they are one. Everybody continues to live there life as a separate identity but they follow a certain concepts as a whole. They start living a life, which is beyond their regular self.

Non-duality is completely inevitable to the seeker, as a separate person everyone is trying to look for something or seeking to have something, it may be money, success or love. Here the spiritual seeker is looking to attain non-duality, spiritual awakening and enlightenment; the process is all the same.
