According to my studies, the mind is still part of the ego and any 'balance' is still part of the duality, because it must have equal proportions attributed on either side of the equation.
In fact, I am a huge Nikola Tesla fan and as well as frequency and vibration, there also must be
energy...these three things will help you understand the nature of the universe, but 'understanding' something and 'realising Oneness' are two different things.
To realise Oneness, is to understand that nothing exists which is
not Oneness.
When I use the word Oneness it is not meant to indicate some sort of entity but rather that despite the very convincing appearance of difference, All is in reality, One. So despite being singular is also the totality of difference we call duality. Does this clear up the matter of whether it exists or not from your knowledge?
You also make the distinction between Western and Eastern, between Yourself and Other, between Mind and Body and between TA and NA...nearly every concept is an exposition on
duality, when you follow a Non-dual philosophy. This is a contradiction.
To a true Advaitin, even 'Brahman' or 'Oneness' doesn't exist because the mind cannot go there and no words can describe what it IS, which means it's beyond the mental scope of language to translate it into a concept even for another to be able to understand it through
their mind.
According to my beliefs/studies, the human being is made up of five sheaths...the physical body (annamaya kosha), the mind/mental sphere (manomaya kosha) the etheric sheath/astral body (pranamaya kosha), the intuitive and empathetic sheath (Vijnamaya kosha) and the bliss sheath (anadamaya kosha)...in the centre of all, is Atman or Brahman...here's an article on it:

The mental sheath is totally separate from Atman/Brahman and the nature of Brahman (Atman) and the nature of Paramatman (that which is beyond the 5 sheaths) can
only be experienced through the anadamaya kosha or the 'bliss sheath' and not through the manomaya kosha or the mind/mental sheath...this is why I say what I do about it.
