Non-duality

Meditation

A reported collapse of the ordinary felt separation between subject and object, self and world — a core aim of many contemplative traditions, from Advaita Vedanta to Dzogchen.

Example: NYU neuroscientist Zoran Josipovic found that nondual awareness meditation showed a distinct EEG signature — significantly elevated gamma activity across sessions overall, but with power actually dropping during the specific nondual moments participants flagged in real time.
