This topic is for all the people (beginners, intermediates, experts) who want to understand and experience non-duality, enlightenment and the nature of reality to its full extent and in this lifetime.
First I want to thank and complement you Leo on everything you already have achieved and I hope you will allow me to share my knowledge for the benefit of mankind. I do not do this for a personal gain, I do not want to gain a community, also the website I refer to has no commercial intentions (no ads, no trackers, no cookies, no referrals, etc.). It is only about sharing knowledge.
There seems to be a lot of people having trouble understanding and experiencing the aforementioned concepts because they are given a different meaning by different people.
Enlightenment (as dubbed by Buddhists some 2500years ago) does not mean more than a sharp decline or dissolving. As in the enlightening of pain, meaning the pain goes away. Pain is just used as an example here. Enlightenment is a feeling and not a state of being, one feels enlightened.
Non-duality means just not dual or one. With thinking, you are creating a duality between the thought and what you think about. So non-duality only exists without thought, because if something is mentioned by a thought or word, it is defined. In doing so, breaking one (reality) into two (subjective and objective reality), therefore creating a duality.
The most important thing for understanding these concepts is understanding the nature of reality. Reality is of dependent origin; space is dependent upon time, matter on gravity, life on its environment, senses on the body and consciousness on reality. All of this is explained in a clear and understandable manner on http://www.foundationsofhumanlife.com.
The website is a guide for the Western logical thinking mind to understand and experience the route from the self to the non-self, to understanding the dependent nature of reality.
I hope it may serve you well.
Warm regards,
The universe
