Politics in the Light of Nonduality - Beyond Bias & A Path to Unity

We live in a world increasingly
polarized where differing opinions

are met with hostility rather
than understanding

But what if there's a different way. What
if we could transcend the limitations of

dualistic thinking and approach politics
with compassion and clarity.

Nonduality is something realized when we
directly experience who we are

beyond name and form. The ancient
traditions call this by many names

Samadhi, Moksha, Liberation,
the Kingdom of God.

Through deep inner inquiry, we come
to see the biases and attachments

of our own characters and our own
filters. We will naturally transform our

understanding of politics and promote a
more harmonious World.

Non duality is realized by dropping
identification with the characters

we have been playing, and directly
Awakening to our true nature.

Which is something that can't be
described in words or understood

analytically. Samadhi is waking up from
the delusion that we are separate,

independent entities, and there is a
direct knowing that everything is part

of a unified whole. The wisdom of the
third Zen patriarch offers a profound

insight into the nature of non-dualism.
He famously stated the Great Way

is not difficult for those who
have no preferences.

When Love and Hate are both absent,
everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Make the smallest distinction however, and
Heaven and Earth are set infinitely apart.

If you wish to see the truth, then hold
no opinions for or against anything.

To set up what you like against what
you dislike is the disease of the Mind.

Preferences are at the root of the ego,
the root of the 'I' thought,

and by their very nature create division.
They establish a hierarchy of values

and are at the root of all violence.
Egoic thought by its nature is violence,

and it is preferences which fuel conflict,
when those egoic outcomes are not realized

Non preference doesn't mean apathy or
indifference. It means approaching

situations with an open mind, and
a willingness to accept what IS.

This allows us to see things more clearly,
without the distortions of our own biases

and desires. When everyone drops
their own egoic agenda,

then life flows more freely. Some
misinterpret this teaching as a call

for detachment, that could lead to
indifference or apathy.

Critics will say it is important to care
deeply about certain values

and advocating for them. But this is a
profound misunderstanding of the path

of Awakening. When we drop our own egoic
agenda and our own biases, then action

flows from a place of true compassion
and love, rather than focusing on what is

just for one's own benefit.
To love is to be one with.

And it is to humble the egoic mind the
Great Way involves bringing the typically

unconscious human ego into awareness.
It's about recognizing the dualistic

mechanism that binds the sense of self to
the world of form and perpetuates

suffering through these attachments

There is a saying what you resist persists
where attention goes, energy flows.

By resisting anything in our inner
or outer world we give strength

to the ego. It is foolish to resist
what is, because it already IS.

We just just add more suffering if we
resist it. The first step to Liberation

is to see the madness of resisting
something that already is.

It was the German philosopher Hegel that
said: 'evil resides in the very gaze,

which perceives Evil all around itself'
When we label ourselves as good,

and others as evil, we create an
inner and outer resistance

and cultivate egoic attachment,
empowering our own ego.

We become the very thing
that we resist.

Likewise Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said:
'A man sees in the world what he carries

in his heart' Anything and anyone you push
away, becomes a source of inner struggle,

a kind of Shadow within that will
continue to follow you until you turn

the light of Consciousness on. Instead
of trying to eliminate people and things

that are uncomfortable you accept them.
Not by giving them control,

but by welcoming them with openness and
understanding. Through this acceptance

they lose their power over you,
transforming into energies you can access

and comprehend. They become a natural part
of the full experience of being conscious

alive and present. In this way all aspects
of your self come back together

harmonizing into a unified Whole.
We don't see things in the world

as they are. We see them as we are. When
we change ourselves, we change the world

we perceive. Emotional and spiritual
maturity involves reconnecting every

part of yourself, leaving nothing ignored
denied or hidden, allowing for true

wholeness. The pathless path to Liberation
for all, is for each individual to know

themselves, and by Awakening
to their true nature.

To see that true nature in
everyone and in all things.
