Hindu Non-duality.

[Ry4n]

Any good books or resources of sects of Hinduism with relation to non-duality? Without a bunch of gods tacked onto it, besides Advaita-Vedanta?

The Upanishads.  I read them a couple of months ago.  There's a lot of fluff in there but also juicy bits of non-dual theory.  It's amazing when you see it.  You realize -- damn!  These early peoples were smart!  All the non-duality theory we have today is in there!  You'll be shocked when you read some sections.  It's like you hit some kind of time-loop or something.

This guy is a good author, but I don't think this is complete, but you might get this one and read it.

Here's what I read -- it was 4 volumes.  I read all of the Upanishads, but there is a lot of fluff in there.  The juicy bits are spaced out in the fluff like diamonds tossed into a sandbox.

This isn't Hindu, but this was given to me by someone just before it all dropped away, and after it did it was one of the 'teachings' that continued to resonate quite profoundly as being an accurate reflection after the fact.

Probably explains my fixation on naked awareness, lol.

As a side thought, there is a theory out there somewhere that Abraham was actually A Brahman, which kind of makes sense when you look at the first chapter of the book of genesis, that points towards the principal that when you eat from the tree of knowledge, the tree of wrong or right, you seperate yourself from your god-state. What else that is interesting is It proclaims that in the beginning there was a word, and the word was god. I wonder what the word is, hehe?

As Joseph said The Upanishads are a pretty good place to start if you are talking strictly Hindu.

ah ok sweet thanks guys! 

And yeh @Joseph Maynor I guess I just have to expect there to be some fluff in Hindu texts ahah. My aversion to the fluff must be why I like buddhism so much, especially zen.
