Hello:

In the 1980s and 1990s I was really into non-dual teachings. Later I found that we eventually reach a state of being where we are one and many at the same time. Therefore, self negation isn't necessary, self centered attitudes prevent us from experiencing the oneness. It is good that we don't have to completely anihilate ourselves, because how could we share love and oneness with each other if we didn't exist substantially. Plus, many unified beings are better than one being all by itself.

Below are a couple of similar articles I wrote.

I deleted the below links since they are out of date.

"how could we share love and oneness with each other if we didn't exist substantially?"

Easy, if you feel part of one universe, you will naturally love "yourself", which in that case would mean all things

In a state of inner peace, where there are no thoughts, only pure awareness, nonduality becomes reality.

I've found that thought isn't a barrier when it comes to experiencing source being and divine love. Since thought comes from source, how can it be a problem? It's only our limiting concepts that get in the way.

The link I provided no longer works because my site has been redone. Here is a new link. I've rewritten much of the material I provided before.
