The Lie of Nonduality

[Guest guest]

Nonduality is always a lie for an " I, "

it's this unattainable, which nondualists

love to discuss. But what is there to

discuss? Not Two can't be sliced,

or comprehended by that ' Not Two plus

Many' which is an " I " .

 

The 'I' is that thin line, that event horizon

where " many " and 'not two' almost touch,

but not quite, and where the dust storm

of existing rages. The pull, the irresistible

attraction toward the nondual is felt by the

" I " like a mixed blessing, a torment dipped

in bliss, but it never falls, it revolves, it

feels, it intuit, it prescient the black hole

without consummating the nondual

nuptial act. Only in death thou shall

cease to be two. St. Theresa of Avila

said it best, when she said, " Muero

porque no muero " (Im dying because

i don't die.)

 

So, let us be thankful for those quantum

moments in which both the 'in' and the 'out'

are felt as one, and even if they don't last,

and we must resurface like a cork, and

resume our orbital exile, we do so

feeling detached from the dancing dust.
