Reincarnation: Explorations

[Aupmanyav]

Non-dual perception, however, seems like a contradiction of terms.

The perception always remains dual. Non-duality is something to be understood and not perceived.

The perception always remains dual. Non-duality is something to be understood and not perceived.

Exactly.

Perception always requires a seer and the seen. No exceptions.

So, non-duality can never become perception - it will only be an inference...something to be understood at an intellectual level. There is no grand finale where some magical realization happens that is beyond the intellect. That is all poetry and over thousand of years, so much literature has been produced (some intentional and some unintentional) to obfuscate something so simple and direct.

So, the biggest challenge is to see through the poetry and demystify the truth.This can be hard, if people have created expectations of eternal bliss, omniscience, posterity and the like.
