Non-duality is?

[Chives99]

Is non duality another way of saying we can't say what reality 'is' because any concept isn't it , just a concept ?

[Bluff]

No. 

Duality is the illusion that there would be subjects and objects. (a knower and something that's known) 

In reality (non-duality) that's not the case. There is just knowing. Things appear in the knowing, made out of nothing but the knowing. 

[Chives99]

Knowing without a 'knower' sounds like another word for awareness

Non-duality is reality/existence. Non-duality just is.

non duality is opening the biscuit tin and expecting to have a biscuit but finding instead there is only a cake

@Chives99 In a sense, yes. Only the trick of course is not to turn "non-duality" into yet another descriptive concept. 

Because saying that reality is "this" would exclude "that". And every concept is meaningful only because it sets up a duality. But reality isn't a concept. Reality isn't "this". It also isn't "that". There isn't even any "it". Because "it" would exclude "not-it". All dualities exclude, and therefore cannot grasp reality. So, reality is non-dual. It's neither this nor that, but all of it and thus none of it.

Nothing to see here

I can't conceive myself. 

conceive (v.)

late 13c., conceiven, "take (seed) into the womb, become pregnant," from stem of Old French conceveir (Modern French concevoir), from Latin concipere (past participle conceptus) "to take in and hold; become pregnant" (source also of Spanish concebir, Portuguese concebre, Italian concepere), from con-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see con-), + combining form of capere "to take" (from PIE root *kap- "to grasp").

Meaning "take into the mind, form a correct notion of" is from mid-14c., that of "form as a general notion in the mind" is from late 14c., figurative senses also found in the Old French and Latin words. Related: Conceived; conceiving.

“When you make the two one, and the inside as the outside, and the outside as the inside, and the upper as the lower, and when you make the male and the female into a single one, so that the male is not male and the female not female, and when you make eyes in place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and an image in place of an image, then shall you enter.“ - Jesus
