Hello,
Being Is a Verb is a nice place to sit back, relax, and explore implications of the nondual understanding.
What is Nondual Awareness?
Nondual awareness refers to the direct experience of perception minus the belief in a fundamental separation between mind and matter, between subject and object. Separation is indeed real as an appearance in awareness, but the reality of awareness—that by which anything can be known—is indivisible. Division and separation are activities of the mind, not of the aware presence which knows the content of the mind.
Nondual Awareness vs. Nondual Understanding
Nondual awareness can be difficult to embody due to several factors, including cultural conditioning and egoic needs stemming from a natural desire for security and survival. Nondual understanding, then, with its concepts, analogies, and philosophical frameworks like dual-aspect monism,* can serve as a guide.
*Dual-aspect monism suggests that the two aspects of reality, mind and matter, are ultimately manifestations of the same underlying reality. According to the nondual understanding, this underlying reality can be called consciousness, awareness, knowing, that which perceives, or, to use religious terminology, God’s infinite being.
