Ancient Traditions Point to the Interconnectedness Underlying Reality
Nonduality is the concept that existence is an indivisible whole rather than divided into separate, independent parts.
Eastern spiritual traditions reveal nonduality as the true nature of consciousness – an open, boundless awareness that permeates all apparent forms.
Eastern teachings and practices help unravel our limited identification as individual egos to unveil our nondual essence.
“The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the West.” – Erwin Schrödinger
- In Advaita Vedanta, the separate self is seen as an illusion that veils the oneness of Brahman. Self-inquiry dissolves this illusion.
- In Buddhism’s concept of dependent origination, nothing exists independently but only arises in relation to other things and events.
- Taoism speaks of a singular force or flow uniting seeming opposites – yin/yang, masculine/feminine, self/other.
By using conceptual frameworks as pointers rather than absolutes, Eastern wisdom guides us to directly realize the boundless unity that is our very Ground of Being.
