I've watched it before, but didn't really see how big this is.

Note that his notion, and the common notion, of oneness, is actually interconnectedness or interdependence. Buddhist emptiness is equivalent to buddhist dependent origination, which means that all things depend on eachother in order to exist. That's true, but it's only true in duality, and it's exactly why duality is impossible.

The oneness of nonduality is not that of interconnectedness or interdependence (which can exist only within finite, limited, bounded domains), but of the infinity that underlies all bounded domains.

I actually picked up on that when he talked about subject and object, but that is not a reason to claim whether he had a deeper understanding or not. 

He is giving a talk, there is a certain audience he is talking to, so the deeper things that one can only discover for themselves he might have wisely left out as to not to confuse his audience.

After all he was not a Guru, he proclaimed himself as a spiritual entertainer
