Only One - not two
 
There is only one – not two. There is only one you – not two = an ego and a you. There is not two - a real you plus a false you. There is only one you, even if most of you live as two (or more) you’s - the ego and you. You are just you – not an ego plus something else. You were encouraged to split your self into two (or more) me’s in early childhood and have unwittingly lived as two (or more) me’s for many years.

Non-duality means that there are not two – not two: selves, me’s, I’s, within you. You may have unwittingly lived most of your life as two people – a real me and a false ‘me’ or ego. This split or division within your self may have seemed normal or acceptable UNTIL the unhappy tension of being divided against your self has finally overwhelmed you and brought you here to find some peace so look around and you may find a way to become one me again – no longer two (or more).
Good luck

What if there are three?

What is then the path you are taking? Will you, 1,2 or 3 deny it?

And than there is question of meaning of everything?

This shows that the view of nonduality is based on the premise of duality and that therefore the view of nonduality is an imperfect and inferior view.

:D Jim, isn't that the ego ??
If your post is about ego/real self then you must have an explaination for what you think is the real self :confused:

Yes thanks Jim, I understand this, but what is this ' you ' thats what I am asking, what/who is this ' you/self ' ? that you posted about ?

There is not even one .

'One' is a mind evaluation made by me and you ..

Beyond me and you is not 'One' .

Non duality is a concept that is dual in nature .
