monistic

All is one

Monistic describes philosophical or religious views holding that reality consists of one fundamental substance, principle, or type of being.

A monistic worldview might see mind and matter as aspects of a single underlying reality, rather than separate entities.

The term contrasts with dualistic (two substances) and pluralistic (many): His monistic philosophy rejected the mind-body split.
