Nondualism, mainly called nonduality and also called interconnectedness;[1][2][3] and nondual awareness, [4][5] is a fuzzy concept for which many definitions can be found, including: a rejection of dualistic thinking originating in Indian philosophy; the nondifference of subject and object; the common identity of metaphysical phenomena and the Absolute; the "nonduality of duality and nonduality"; the unity of God and man; or simply monism, the nonplurality of the world, or double-aspect theory.[6] The term is derived from the Sanskrit "advaita", "not-two"[7][8] or "one without a second". While "advaita" is primarily related to the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta & Kashmir Shaivism, nondualism refers to several, related strands of thought, and there is no single definition for the English word "nonduality". According to David Loy it is best to speak of various "nondualities" or theories of nonduality.[9]
