This includes the separation between the self and the world, between subject and object, and between mind and matter. In nondual philosophy, reality is seen as a unified whole in which all apparent differences and distinctions are ultimately illusory. This means that everything in the universe is ultimately interconnected and interdependent, and that the boundaries between things are fluid and constantly changing. The concept of nonduality is found in many different philosophical and spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and some forms of mystical Christianity and Sufism. Nondual teachings are often associated with meditation and contemplative practices that are aimed at helping individuals to directly experience the unity of all things and to transcend the limitations of dualistic thinking. In recent years, nonduality has become a topic of interest in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, as researchers seek to understand the nature of consciousness and the relationship between the mind and the brain from a nondual perspective. - ChatGPT
