There is an ancient and on-going human tradition of non-duality. A form reminiscent of Advaita Vedanta teaches that to view ourselves as having a separate consciousness within that looks out on a world without is an illusion…There is only one consciousness. This consciousness permeates the Universe….All physicality expresses the one consciousness limited only by the number and variety of sensory apparatus that has evolved.
