3. Duality and Non-Separation

Veils to the Soul

A New Take on Duality and Non-Separation with Oliver Baum and Nicholas Rosseinsky
What are Duality and Non-Separation?
We start by kicking around various definitions of duality and non-separation. For those who aren't into psycho-spirituality, these terms - depending how you define them! - are used to point to the experience, condition, or reality-setting, in which awakened/enlightened beings find themselves.
As a more everyday (non-spiritual!) orientation, consider the closeness you feel with loved ones. Taken to the limit, perhaps you've felt 'not separate' from them? There, you're not empathising with their feelings - you're having those feelings directly with them. This is more-or-less the essence of non-separation.
Why are Duality/Non-Separation Important?
Both the spiritual and everyday definitions point to the significance of this Episode's themes. Whether its in terms of spiritual Bliss/Truth or simple everyday Love, duality is an obstacle, and non-separation is the Ground where these things naturally flourish. Put dualistically: duality-Bad, non-separation Good. (Yes: this is irony!)
Origins of Alleged-Duality, Obstacles to 'Recovering' Non-Separation
We discuss some radically-new viewpoints on the origins of alleged-duality, including what happened before the Big Bang, and what then obstructs the 'recovery' of non-separation (crucially, including the nature of matter itself!).
In a Veils-unique way, we then weave together the risen Christ, modern consciousness science, and shamanic practices, to sketch a picture of Awakening (the recovery of non-separation in identity, experience & action), arguably more comprehensive than any other given to date.
Sex, Love, and ... the ARC?!
No discussion would be complete without discussing how sex and love affect - and can be affected by - duality and non-separation. So we discuss that! And: we close this Episode by putting down a marker to discuss the over-arching context for sex/love/Love/relationship ... What is the ARC*? What is it's relational action?
* 'ARC': 'the Agency that Restructures Consciousness'. For more about this and other Terms, keep listening! Or, visit the second half of Episode-1, and/or Episode-18!
