Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required (“Dragon’s Eye”, 2024, original encaustic) Nonduality Nonduality is at the heart of both physical reality And all spirituality The non duality of the two being its essential meaning But still as simple and obvious as this is It is easily misunderstood Perhaps because it is simple and obvious. The way it is usually approached Is by pointing out there is no duality No you and me, us and them That we are in fact One And this is the same for all traditions From a materialist’s Energy In the form of molecules, atoms and quarks To a spiritualist’s Source In the spirit of God, Love, Truth, Emptiness. As it is said, in The Middle Way, This form and emptiness is the same Not as two opposites somehow existing as one But as synonyms for the same Seen through the different lenses Of matter and mind, substance and psyche, But this remains within the refined realm of intellect. What is it in our actual lives? How is it that this oneness, Which is not even a union Because there has never been or could be A separation into parts, Is experienced within the duality of appearance? First there is recognition and then confidence; Recognition that this is the truth of what is, And confidence that there is no other. And with this comes familiarity Familiarity with simply what is Without trying to change it, Make it what it isn’t Through either suppression or transformation. Poetically the stages of grief come to mind As Life is clearly the embodiment of this! What we reject and resist in the end we accept. And in our lives, this very moment, This means knowing it will all work out That it is in fact All Good And that even at our ugliest and most confused, We are really never apart From the wisdom, truth, love and beauty, That is Life itself. We know this simply because we are alive Warts and all. Nonduality is at the heart of all traditions Expressed in symbols as diverse As circles and snakes, labyrinths and crosses And stars Radiating out To manifest as all the stuff of our universe And the mind that can open its eyes.
