Integration of all manifestations is not really a separate level, but the reality or Suchness of all levels, all states, all conditions. Emptiness is not a discrete state, but the reality of all states. Consciousness and its display are not-two. Emptiness turns out to be one with every Form. The real world is not given to you twice - one out there, one in here. That "twiceness" is duality, but the real world is given to you "once", immediately - one feeling, one taste. Seer and seen, subject and object, fragment and fragment are two sides of the same experience, which is the one and only reality at that moment. The primordial state is prior to, but not other to, the entire world of dualistic Form. All fualities continue to arise, but they are relative truths, not absolute or primordial truth itself. The primordial thruth is the ringing; the relative truth is the "I" and the "bell", the mind and the body, the subject and the object. They have a certain relative reality, but they are not the final word. The twoness of experience is the fundamental lie, the deception. Every experience arrives as One Taste - it does not arrive fractured and split into a subject and an object. That lie begins with the "small self" hiding its Original Face in the forms of its own suffering. (Everything, p227-233)
Whereas our everyday consciousness continually separates and isolates things, those who experience enlightenment are conscious of their own oneness with things. The word "unity" or "oneness" does not adequately capture their experience; they prefer to say "not-two, not-one." "Non-duality" is perhaps more accurate. (Contemplation, p38)
God is in us and we are in God. Human beings live transcendence in immanence, the essential in the phenomental. (Contemplation, p71)
Two sides of coin, but is one coin.
The mystery of Jesus being fully human and fully divine makes more sense when looked at it from a non-dualistic view point. (Randy)
For example, the binary number system, where 0 or 1 by themself is incomplete, it takes both for completetion and upon them any other number can be denoted. And the same must be true with God with emptiness and wholeness. (Randy)
