What Is Non-Duality, How Does It Get You Spiritually Awakened?

By Alex D White


Non-duality refers to as non-separation or not being one, it simply tells us that all the things that we know or see is interconnected to each other and not separated, however everything does maintains its individuality. Self-realization about non-duality gives you a new feel towards life, you get to enjoy a better life and also bring more happiness in your life.

It can be considered as the consciousness, which simply means we are the existence of a single consciousness, otherwise known as Advaita, Spirit and so on. It is the only thing that remains constant, always present and cannot be interchanged and brings out the essence of every existence.

This needs you to understand what is the perception of Non-duality, like for an instance if you have every felt something or experienced something that is more meaningful, deep and seems real, which is also beyond the regular you, though it is you in some way, it can be considered as your experience of non-duality. Individuals that experience non-duality are known to found peace, unity and experience a better self. The non-dual experience might be gained in nature, choice or music and art, starting a hobby or work, even while walking or by several other reasons.

You must understand the non-duality is not something different but the realization of everyone or everything being the same and not separated. It might be little hard for you to understand but one has to go beyond its thinking to attain non-duality.

Once you experience non-duality, you start to acknowledge non-duality more and more. And in the journey of getting more acquainted to non-duality, you start following books, teachers and communities. Pursuit of non-duality might also lead you to spiritual practices, urge you to meet with non-dual teachers and even change your mind as a result of criticism.

Duality is basically an illusion; separation between two different existing individuals is just an illusion, which the saints following Advaita philosophy have long understood. Both the eastern and the western science acknowledge oneness and do understand that the theory behind the illusion. Most probably one can see duality in such different forms, duality in mind and matter, oneself and other, being conscious and unconscious, reality and illusion and so on. Non-duality can simply be explained as the identification of the common dualisms which avoid recognition of the real truth of the reality.

Everything that you are seeking or looking for cannot be found in the future, as because it is already present in you, which can be experienced in the present itself, in the current moment itself. The awareness or consciousness that you are looking for is what you are.

Things that are scientifically proven are needed to go through deep scrutiny and even after that they are subjected to change in the future. The second aspect includes self, realization, getting self-aware that everything that we seek, perceive, identify as the real world is not actually what we think of it. The realization or awareness of inner self cannot be explained but only experienced when one tries to. Seekers say that the mind, self and the spirit when becomes one, then one can experience the philosophy of non-duality.
