' A By-product of Perception '...

"The oneness state is inclusive and open, welcoming everything. It brings folks from separation to unity. It allows one to relax, and then further opening can happen from there. Science has come to recognize this fact also; that all is connected and interdependent and only appears to be separate to enable functioning.

The nondual viewpoint is the flip side of the unity viewpoint—a hairline away from recognizing that all that presents is actually not real.

It’s in the mind, imagined, an illusion, etc. Just as we see that things can be taken personally or not, depending on your perception, it becomes clear that perception is making things appear as they are, and without this perception things are not as they seem at all.

In fact, they are not real at all. They are just appearing with no substance beyond what perception gives them. The danger here is when one does not do the work to recognize this and one grabs nonduality/non existence as a concept, then nothing can shift.

Nonduality offers a recognition that the deep void, stillness, silence is in fact Real and that whatever appears (as and in the world, etc.) is temporary and a by-product of perception."
