Non-duality, often referred to as 'not-two' or 'Advaita' in the Sanskrit tradition, is a lived exerience that points to the underlying unity of all existence. At its heart, non-duality suggests that the apparent separation between the self and the world, subject and object, or mind and matter is how reality appears from the perspective of the finite mind.
Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, non- duality invites us to look beyond the surface differences and recognize the interconnectedness and seamless wholeness of life. It teaches that the true nature of reality is indivisible—there is only one infinite, unchanging awareness expressing itself through countless forms and experiences.
Rather than a theory to be believed, non-duality is seen as a direct experience to be
realised. Many spiritual teachers point to moments of pure presence or deep peace—when the usual sense of separation fades—as glimpses into the non-dual state. Through inquiry, meditation, or self-examination, one may come to see that the self and the world are not two, but expressions of the same underlying consciousness.
As I can testify, embracing non-duality can lead to profound shifts in understanding, dissolving boundaries and fostering a sense of unity, compassion, and freedom. It is an invitation to
awaken from the dream of separation and recognize the simplicity and beauty of being itself.
