a what is nonduality

For the better part of my life i've studied many, many philosophies and theologies, i've studied science(s), mechanical and electronic engineering, and the methods of which all of these practiced concepts intertwine. I often immediately dissolve this wealth of knowledge when i imagine the other. Meaning, it literally goes away when i walk a mile in another's shoes, so to speak. In that moment, there is this, and nothing else.

What speaks to me is adichotomy, i'd like to say it is a word i invented, but it's not. It flew in and stuck. It's consistent and normal, this duality of being, of 2 minds as 1. Oddly, it's not exclusive to minds, at least within a high probability anyway.

So, what is nonduality? Aside from several definitions you can read across the inter-webs (one of which is posted below), it is the premise that, as everything is (likely) dual by inference and that it is hard to ignore once "seen". This is how/why nonduality comes in to play, as everything is dual (experience of things and the things themselves) then reality is all "consciousness", as a nondualist might often speak of. But, consciousness is still only half the story. Being an individual that has consciousness, falls way too, alone.

Adichotomy has stuck with me as a modern term for the Tao (Laozi). As we continue to be plagued with more knowledge, of the workings of the universe, our recordings of history, of how things work, we still regress (less so over time), falling back to center, always. Our entire existence, favoring negentropy, growth, expansion, but ever so subtly, also at rest.

This you is the thing without independence, as there is no other place or time to be anything else.
