non-duality

All is one

Non-duality is a philosophical and spiritual concept holding that apparent distinctions—self and other, subject and object, observer and observed—are ultimately illusory.

Reality is fundamentally one undivided whole.

The idea is central to Advaita Vedanta, certain Buddhist traditions, and some Western mystical thought.

In non-duality, the sense of a separate self dissolves into awareness itself.
