Phil Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 The term nonduality essentially means “not two”, or, “no second”. Is nondualism (‘not two ism’), actually… an ism? Is the ‘ism’, and like wise the ‘ist’ - the ‘second’, which ‘not two’ points out, there isn’t? How & why do the terms nondualism and Nondualist arise? What are the implications?

Orb Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Non dual means not two like you just said. It's not a thing. Nondualism/nondualist is used when it's believed that nonduality is a thing.

Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me.

What are the implications? Just my instinctive awareness analyzing the thesis. Everyone can make up their own mind, just saying what my brain sees coming out of the topic. Patterns of behavior I have navigated for 6 decades experience. Creation of vocabulary to manifest reasonable doubt for generations ahead keep believing life isn't self evident. In the great detecting of cause and effect, lets pull out the 7 degrees of separation. How, why, which, what, where, when, who(person, place, thing) is being insultated from the rest isolating an issue during time all things are mutually evolving now. Universal binary code is a duality zero or one. More than two sides of an outcome with 8 bilion residents adapting at the same time.

Loop Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Non-Duality isn’t a structure, philosophy, or practice, an ‘ism’. Nor is there an ‘ist’ which understands or doesn’t understand, or practices or doesn’t practice an ‘ism’. The terms Non-Dualism & Non-Dualist arise from assuming Non-Duality to be about a something, a ‘ism’ & or an ‘ist’. Quote Mention Ten thousand tears, One Belly Laugh.
