Indeed, it is this nearness that complicates your perceiving it. <br /><br />But there is no real complication, of course--only an apparent one. For we simply aren't use to looking at something so close up. We only know thoughts and emotions and sensations, etc. But what is there before any of those things are there? Explore this question, with ease and earnestness, and you will have the answer for yourself. And it will be a living and a vital answer, one of true peace and understanding.Rodney Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041216311880794608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834824538689148575.post-6418393956687381452010-10-22T04:53:53.318-07:002010-10-22T04:53:53.318-07:00Hi, What is Advaita, or Nonduality?

Advaita means nondual or "not two." This oneness is a fundamental quality of everything. Everything is a part of and made of one nondual conciousness. Often the question arises, "If it is all one thing, why don’t I experience it that way?" This is confusing oneness for the appearance of sameness. Things can appear different without being separate.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779490753113501976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834824538689148575.post-62653428093819815212010-10-10T12:29:15.809-07:002010-10-10T12:29:15.809-07:00I deeply appreciate that, Colleen.
