I am not the man in the mirror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you look in the mirror, do you consider yourself to be that being staring back?If you’re a materialist, or consider yourself to be somehow housed in your body, then I would imagine the answer is “yes”.But what about non-dualists, or those who are into spirituality? My guess is that such people would say “no” - I am more than what is in the mirror. You may believe you are partly colocated with the body, but beyond it also. Maybe a kind of spirit residing in the body. Or something more genera

First off, apologies for not releasing a reflection last week. For more than 6 months I have released a weekly article so sorry for missing my last one, breaking the streak!The reason I missed it was due to some events not directly related to non-duality, but I thought some of you might be interested in it regardless.

At the beginning of the non-dual path, this kind of talk is helpful: “notice how all thoughts, sounds, feelings and so on rise and fall in awareness”.

Nothing can be said about this bare presence while it is experienced, but, after

Read excerpt
Humans seem to be capable of operating across two modes of living. The first mode is what the vast majority of people living today inhabit - namely, the mode of considering myself a distinct object moving about an external world “out there”. This is the mode of duality. The second mode we could call the mode of non-duality, and which I have spoken of frequently. It is in the recognition that, when we slow down and pay attention, there is no real dividing line in experience between an “in here” a
Reality is united and complete (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The post that follows is my wrestling with the idea of co-dependent arising in Mahayana Buddhism. I don’t have a completely satisfactory exploration of it as yet (if such a thing is even possible), and I’m not sure if the following is completely consistent with some of my other views of reality, but I nevertheless present it below in its current state.It is relatively simple to see the co-dependence of all things, or inter-being as Thich Nhat Hanh called it. The existence of a flower depends on
