Non-duality doesn't exist.

I know, right?
The intellect's Rubik's Cube.
...'where there is none'....where none is said in a whisper...

Iamit -- I bet you know the sound of one hand clapping.
Another Rubik's Cube for the intellectual.
But, hey, I don't mean to make fun ----I used to be one until the summer of 1971,
in a moment, in a little cottage in Key West, FL...with Einstein, Russel and Jung
opened in front of me on my kitchen table.
That's when it all changed. The Peter Pan twinkle happened....the twinkle that changes everything.

Characters vary. Who knows what it might be like for somebody else. Not me. Be well.

Try dichotomy. no paradox and plenty of sense.

Watch out for your own personal 'preferences'!

When it comes to logic, 1+1+1+1=1 (Boolean Algebra).

Have you thought about the meaning given in the Vedas which says Advaita is One without a Second. It might help.

Non-duality is feeling/living /acting non-dual while still living in apparently dual world / multiple spheres of world . And that is the reason it is very difficult . But it really exists for person with high integrity , SQ , EQ & IQ . The person believing in and practicing in nun-duality will still work logically and observe the limits & laws of duality while roaming around the world . He will not make non-sense illogical statements / actions which may arise if one may not have understood non-duality and spirituality.

In laymen language non-duality is to have in integrated personality which too is very rare .

I found this definition funny:

A paradox, also known as an antinomy, is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement
that runs contrary to one's expectation.
It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning, hahahaha, from true premises, leads to a seemingly
self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion.

I can/do go along with this (specific) definition. In my view, from his saying “This is my body” when breaking bread and “This is my blood” when pouring wine at what has since been referenced as The Last Supper with his disciples, it is clear that Jesus rationally grasped as well as mystically (that is, transpersonally) 'i'dentified with the Oneness of Creation. IMO, others may also do this and think, feel and act accordingly.

I wasn't the original author of "...those who speak & those who know..." I was using it as an example of where one mind has to be, to be in balance.

I am a stick-it-to-you 'stickler' with regards the implications of words people use.

It is possible for you to be way more precise and accept full respone-ability for the words you choose to use.

You did not. As I said, I found your post genuinely enjoyable - which in my case, meant delightfully 'stimulating'.

But please do think about the implications of your choosing to attribute the 'title' of 'Lord' to your self! Sheesh!!

If and as you come across as functioning in such (as I said 'one-upsmanship') spirit, you are likely to get the same kind whackamo response from me.

I hope you will eventually 'grow' to see/experience this as my doing you a favor - by not just 'letting' you 'get away' with such travesty, IMO (of Truth and interpersonal relationality) 'scott free'.

Please do continue to engage here. In spite of what I have 'done', please know that your contribution was/is very much appreciated - just not all of it.

Oh yes paradox is power.
Paradox does not exist.
To try to not exist can thus be let go of.
And much knowledge and wisdom is gained in that.
