Does the word New describe nonduality?

[Unseeking Seeker]

The word ‘new’ suggests that at some point in time there existed something else which was old or at least different. So firstly we have this vs that and secondly we have flow of time in which at least two objects can be compared.

In non-duality there is only one pulse renewing itself within itself outside of space-time, as in direct experience.

We are here in this body-mind, in duality, which arises from singularity, is created, sustained and transformed/destroyed from the intelligent living energy of Self or let us say God. Look at heartbeat, breath, oceanic tides, orbit of earth around sun … there is a birth, a beginning, a preservation, nurturing and then finally death or a transformation. This is borne out as the actions of the trinity, which in Hindu scriptures is Brahma (creation), Vishnu (preservation) and Shiva (destruction). Taking the trinity as one, the manifestation appears as a pulse in time, whereas in singularity, the same pulse is outside of time and space.

Consider deep meditation leading to samadhi. What is samadhi? It is, we begin with bliss felt in body, so two, we are the body upon which or in which bliss as an agency, a current is acting. As we immerse our softened thought rested attention in the magnetism pervading our form, we lose ourself in it, we meld with it. We no longer experience the flame, we become the flame. So, singularity.

Love is singular too but not the love we term as a trade, an exchange but rather agape love, a ceaseless outpouring, the light of the sun, the fragrance of a flower, which just is, as it is, an effervescence. Love in fact is magical, being that in whose womb all opposites dissolve. If we plot the octaves of love on a scale, we may see it actually, first dualistic and finally singular, say as in rising from bubbling joy to selective empathy, universal compassion, rapturous bliss and then time dissolved ineffable peace.

Phenomena (dual) arising from noumena (singular), may be seen in everything, including our body. Take the kundalini energisation and chakra system. So many chakras or nodes, each with a different attribute and then finally after ascent, there is descent to heart* (*spiritual heart) where all becomes one, free from attribute. Why no attribute? Because it is self-existent, not dependent upon another ‘thing’. Then the kundalini itself, first we say it is Chi or Holy Spirit perhaps, Divine Mother and indeed, so it is, as manifest in duality. Consider however that we become the kundalini Itself in singularity. We enter the void as formless awareness as the kundalini, by becoming It, we transmute.

Take prayer. There is an idol, a symbol, a holy book, a mantra, a photograph perhaps to which we bend down. This vs that, two. As surrender deepens, we merge with the deity. One.

Just sayin’ since we are both in duality as well as in singularity all the time, based upon where our attention is and whether our awareness is focused or unfocused.
