NONDUALITY AND A CHRISTIAN REVIVAL TENT IN A FICTIONAL SOUTHERN STATE OR WHOLESOME NORTHERN TOWN



Is non-duality exclusive? Does it have any say on truth? Of course not. If it did, it would not be nonduality but something else. So, the funny thing is that true nonduality could, if so inclined, enjoy a charismatic Christian minister at a summer revival. This minister could speak of hell-fire and demons, of the wages of sin and everlasting torment. He or she could predict a future that included angels, heaven, pearly gates and more. He or she could even predict these good things for his or her own congregation alone. Nonduality allows this because it would be, in ‘reality’ or the appearance of it, a seeming person just speaking. Nobody should take offense in that instance too much, because would someone who speaks another language, like Chinese, Russian, Greek, or the like, - either like or dislike what was being said? In pure sort of beingness, for lack of better words, they are just sounds coming from a mouth. And…where it gets really super ultra weird, is that if anything that happens happens inside of the oneness and things apparently happen, who is to say that the preacher could even be incorrect. Maybe he is correct and we are incorrect to think he is incorrect.
