Nondual Bypass Approach vs. Full Spectrum of Existence
⁘ “So yes: there's non-dual oneness of awareness. It does have its refractions in the realm of plurality. We can't deal with all of it categorically as one thing. Skillful means for exploring the full spectrum of our evolving living experience over is well-established in the classical traditions of the world. It's a process, it's a path. Bypass all of these — you leave the realms of your life hanging unhinged, rejecting the full spectrum of your living experience.”
So yes, there is this non-dual oneness of awareness.
Just as there is the oneness of energy,
responsible for all momentum, all dynamics of existence,
But it does have its castings,
refractions in the realm of plurality,
and we cannot simply deal with all of it categorically as one thing.
This approach, the skillful means and methodologies
of exploring the full spectrum of our living experience
over a gradient of evolution,
is well established in the classical traditions of the world.
From the Buddha's well-established strategy of gradual teaching,
unfolding insight in proportion to the capacities of his audiences,
to the noble eightfold path
and the Lam Rim formulation of the Tibetan Buddhists.
And on the other side of the dharmic stream,
the eightfold path of yoga.
From basic inner and outer ethics, to balance,
to concentration, to union, etc.
It's a process, it's a path.
Bypass all of these, and
you leave the realms of your life hanging unhinged.
You compromise, reject the full spectrum
of your living experience.
