Please define nondualism.
In 2 lines or so, briefly explain it? Is it in a dictionary? They should add it.

Some sort of belief system, sounds like.

•Nondualism is the implication that things appear distinct while not being separate

Enigma: Sort of an unimaginable ism? Yeah, some kind of a Seinfeld-esque belief about nothing maybe. Hehe.

Nondualism begins when the illusion of material existence ends. I don't think this can happen while we are still operating from our physical mechanisms, but some claim it is for them.

I recall reading about someone asking Richard Rose to sum up his message in a few sentences to which he said something to the effect of: "Forget it! It would take several hours just to get you confused".

The point actually is that you are not operating from a physical mechanism now. Nonduality (not nondualism so much, which would be some sort of a belief system held by a dualistic appearance, i spose) points to what is fundamentally the case right now.

Yes... thanks... I forget that many people on this site know that the physical mechanism is an illusion of the most seductive kind.

Please define nondualism. In 2 lines or so, briefly explain it? Is it in a dictionary? They should add it. I'd love to hear some of the peeps currently on here, E, Steve, Tzu, Laughter, Farmer, Ish... etc. What your definitions are....

Greetings.. Please define nondualism. In 2 lines or so, briefly explain it? Is it in a dictionary? They should add it. Nondualism is the 'belief' that nonduality is truth, or that it is "the case right now".. Nonduality is the concept used to encompass what is actually happening, when what is actually happening exceeds the awareness capacity of the observer.. The dependence on rigid adherence to labels and concepts, like 'truth' and 'nonduality', results in attachments to beliefs about the concepts, rather than an unconditional acceptance of clarity as the fundamental means of revealing what 'is'.. Nonduality is dependent upon faith and belief in someone's description of its meaning.. again, i suggest that a 'still mind' reveals what 'is' without dependence on conceptual descriptions about what 'is'.. Be well..

Nonduality is not fundamentally a philosophy or belief system, and so 'nondualism' already seems like a mischaracterization. Nonduality simply says there is not two. We can and do go on infinitely talking about the implications of that, but there (purposely) isn't any more to it.
