Duality / Non duality

Duality is the common notion that we and others and the outside world are separate things. Sages and mystics throughout time have insisted that the world in non dual, intuiting that in essence, everything is part and parcel of one source. One may call that source God, or nature or mind. Advaita Vedanta is the ancient Eastern philosophy on non duality (not two). Analytical Idealism is the Western philosophy of non duality. These philosophies contend that all is one mind and that the appearance of separation is an illusion created for the Source of all to enable experience.
