Not two. Non-separateness. The nature of reality.
The experience, sense, intuition, or knowing of a reality that is deeper, more meaningful, more unified, more vast than the reality that is known on a day to day basis, and from which there is no separation.
The recognition that while non-separateness describes reality, distinct and apparently separate forms arise within it. The further recognition that form and reality are not separate even though they may appear to be, even as waves are not separate from the ocean.
The body of practices, teachings, teachers, traditions that may be accessed in the pursuit of understanding reality.
Beyond that, the perfect knowing of reality, such that there is not even a knower.

"I do not believe…that an individual may gain spiritually and those who around him suffer. I believe in ... nonduality, I believe in the essential unity of man and, for that matter, of all that lives. Therefore I believe that if one man gains spiritually, the whole world gains with him and, if one man falls, the whole world falls to that extent." Gandhi

Get the Nonduality mug.A person who takes the non-duality Advaita Hindu teachings too far. This person is kind of spacy and thinks that everything is okay even though people are being killed all over the world, or they don’t have compassion because they think the people deserve it for some reason because of karma. While that may be true or not true, we should all still have compassion for those who are suffering. Non-duality space monkeys are out to lunch on the compassion ticket.
Compassionate person: Dude, doesn't it make you sad that so many people are suffering in the world?
Non-duality space monkey: No, that's just the way it goes.
Compassionate person: That's messed up, don't you care?
Non-duality space monkey: Well there is no such thing as an individual anyway, so their suffering isn't even real.
Compassionate person: Wow, you are a serious space monkey. Dare I say it, a non-duality space monkey.
Non-duality space monkey: Yeah, I know.
Non-duality space monkey: No, that's just the way it goes.
Compassionate person: That's messed up, don't you care?
Non-duality space monkey: Well there is no such thing as an individual anyway, so their suffering isn't even real.
Compassionate person: Wow, you are a serious space monkey. Dare I say it, a non-duality space monkey.
Non-duality space monkey: Yeah, I know.

The concept of non-duality posits that everything is in constant synthesis with one another, and the belief in the independent existence of things is merely an illusion. This notion is remarkably similar to other philosophical beliefs found in various regions, along with being similar to Marxism. The word 'Non-duality' itself means 'Not two.' Said philosophy originates from the East.
Person 1: "I read a report on Non-duality this summer, it was confusing.."
Person 2: "I get what you mean, man, but it's an interesting topic, isn't it?"

Get the Non-duality mug.Extraphysical Nondualism, also Extraphysical Nonduality, is an extraphysicalist philosophy and stance where it's about the realization that physics and extraphysics are the same thing and there's no dichotomy between physics and extraphysics, where physics and extraphysics acts in interaction between each other and everything physical can get extraphysical such as everything extraphysical can yet physical, and the consciousness, mind, soul, spirit and body exists at physical and extraphysical level at the same time. Extraphysical Nondualism supports that physicalism and extraphysicalism, materialism and extramaterialism and naturalism and extranaturalism are the same thing on different levels and both tries to explain the same thing on different levels of understanding of physics, extraphysics and reality as well. Extraphysical Nondualism often supports the ideas of Extraphysical Monism and Neutral Extraphysicalism despite extraphysical nondualism is also compatible with other extraphysicalist philosophies as well.
"Extraphysical Nondualism is an amazing way of understanding the world, it's an understanding level inside extraphysicalist philosophy and it might be really useful to show how extraphysicalism, physicalism, materialism, extramaterialism, naturalism and extranaturalism seek to explain the same thing on different level, despite physicalists, materialista and naturalists might not understand that so easily."
