Understanding Non Dualism and the Nihilism of Organized Religion
In this entertaining and engaging text, the concept of non dualism is explored. The author argues that everything in the world is tied together, and non dualism is like a story that should be told to children. They also discuss the idea that authority doesn't actually exist, and priesthood is a representation of this non-existent authority. The text delves into ironic nihilism and the paradigm shift in Western culture. It suggests that as Christianity and Islam decline, people go through phases of denialism and cynical nihilism. Despite not practicing these religions, some individuals still defend them. The text ends by mentioning the possibility of exploring the affirmative side of these ideas.
