It is an assumption that this is all 1 coin because if it is all 1 coin then we can get a grasp of it mentality and feel as if we in some kind of way understand it and this is how the human mind works.
But the fact is that we are in duality and only are capable of experiencing that which is within duality as well.
and to even contemplate what true non-duality is like is impossible because you would be using the mental tools that only work in duality and are incompatible of working on anything outside of duality so then if one experiences so called non-duality it is an illusion of the Mind and it's still part of duality.

Thanks MAYA EL. But you seem to be missing the point of my post. The relative dualities/differences of everyday experience are not left behind in a realisation of nonduality. As I say earlier in the thread, “no credible speaker on nonduality has ever suggested that ‘nondual perception’ entails the absence of the relative dualities of everyday experience; up and down, left and right, in and out, hot and cold and so on… in the realisation that reality is without a second it’s seen that whatever state/condition is arising - that is it.”
It’s actually duality, in the sense of
actual separation (not relative duality/differentiation) which is impossible - it’s a delusion upheld in the mind based on memories of the past and future imaginings. Right now in this present actuality reality is whole.
