Understanding Non-Self and Non-Duality

The concept of non-self and non-duality raises important questions about the nature of thought and belief. It is acknowledged that both the belief in a self and the belief in a non-self are fundamentally thoughts or beliefs, and thus, they hold no greater value than any other belief system. Both ideologies can be viewed as paradigms that individuals subscribe to, similar to beliefs in widely accepted concepts such as God or Santa Claus. The discussion highlights the necessity to explore beyond these beliefs to discover what is present in direct experience that transcends thought and verbal constructs.
