Nonduality

Nonseparation from Divinity/God/Source.
Nonseparation from THE SUPREME.
Oneness.
Oneness of being and the ground of being.
Oneness of experience and the ground of experience.
Oneness of form, formlessness, and beyond.
Oneness of phenomena, noumena, and beyond.
Oneness of symbol and symbolized.
Oneness of the content within the Mind, the Mind, and the source of the Mind.
The fact that everything is inseparable from everything and everyone else. There is no “else.”
The quality of indivisibility.
The quality of oneness.
Nonduality includes what is called duality.
Nonduality is personal, transpersonal, impersonal, and beyond these.
Nonduality transcends all ideas that are predicated on separation.
Nonduality embraces all that is predicated on separation, knowing that nothing can actually be separate.
The realization of nonduality is the fruition of love.
The word “nonduality” is meaningful only in the context of believed (and therefore experienced) separation. Eventually, the word ceases to be useful.
Beyond nonduality is all that is when there is no belief in separation.
Beyond nonduality is THAT which is when there is no belief in separation.
