Blessed2 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 There's countless examples of what I mean by the distinction between true and untrue. Samsara and Nirvana. Plato's cave. The Matrix. The Truman Show. "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." "Only the truth is true." These (nondual) examples point to a clear distinction between illusion and reality. But non-duality means not two, and true & untrue would be... Two. What do you make of this? 🤔 How it is that non-duality states: not two. Yet also a clear distinction between true and untrue is presented! How's that? What is non-duality? Quote Mention There must be an effortless way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to comprehend what non duality is try to understand what is deep sleep is. Non duality is just being , empty mind. Meanwhile "empty mind" is not empty mind itself. There is no word for it, just Be. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing or learning is duality, which is everything. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
