I would say blasphemy in terms of non-duality looks like denial. Denial of your true nature, denial of oneness. 

[Husseinisdoingfine]

Sin is not what the Chrisitains tell you it is. 

It means: forgetfulness  

[Husseinisdoingfine]

Blasphemy just means to verbally distort religion and God for egoic survival purposes, that's it.

@Leo Gura what is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and why is it the Unforgivable Sin?

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come

The question of blasphemy's existence in the realm of non-duality presents a fascinating paradox. Non-duality, by its nature, negates the division between the sacred and the profane, suggesting that all distinctions we draw are, ultimately, illusions or constructs of our dualistic perceptions. From this standpoint, blasphemy, traditionally seen as a disrespect towards something deemed sacred, loses its foundation. If non-duality posits that everything is one and the same at its core, then the concept of blasphemy, which relies on a clear delineation between the sacred and the profane, becomes moot.

However, it's crucial to recognize the distinction between the philosophical ideal of non-duality and the practical realities of our dualistic world. Societies and cultures are deeply entrenched in dualistic views, where laws and norms clearly define what is considered sacred and what is not, thereby maintaining the relevance of blasphemy as a concept. This dualistic framework shapes our everyday interactions, legal systems, and moral judgments.

In light of non-duality, the concept of blasphemy invites us to question the constructs and boundaries we establish and observe how they influence our perceptions and interactions. Yet, it also reminds us of the importance of navigating these constructs thoughtfully, as they continue to hold significant sway in societal and cultural contexts.

Thus, while non-duality challenges the basis of blasphemy on a philosophical level, engaging with this question also requires us to consider the complexities of applying non-dualistic perspectives within a predominantly dualistic society. It's an invitation to deepen our understanding of the constructs that govern our world and to reflect on the nature of our beliefs and values.
