**⏺️ With:** [[Duality]] **\#️⃣ Tags:** #Philosophy > **🌱 Planted:** Thu 24 July 2025 --- From the perspective of reality, the Absolute, there is no separation. [[You weren't born into this world, you were born out of it]]. Nonduality is therefore the recognition that all of reality is arising as one inseparable whole. Even if it appears like reality arises in seemingly separate forms, those forms are merely expressions of the whole (see [[Mutual Arising]]). In nondual awareness, a state of consciousness that is achievable for humans (also known as pure [[Consciousness]]), the apparent split between self and other, mind and body, good and bad, and right or wrong dissolves. There's no longer an 'I' having the experience of Life... there is only Life itself, living, being and effortlessly experiencing itself. For humans, this state of consciousness can be reached as we progressively meet our [[Developmental Needs]]. This is because as we meet those needs, we are healing. When we heal, we are integrating our [[Object Relations]] and our [[Parts]]. And as we do this, we experience our wholeness. We experience ourselves in our [[Presence|True Nature]].
