A Question for my Twitter Sangha: is Non-Dualism the same as the doctrine of Emptiness? My experience with Dzogchen and Tibetan Buddhism confused the two (either they confused them or I did), but now I'm starting to see them as very different doctrines. What's your take on it?

I believe that they point to the same thing, although the various doctrines about to are often different.

You can also say that 'quantum mechanics' and 'general relativity' also point to the same thing: fundamental structures of the universe. But they are different explanations that work at different scales, so different that scientists can't bring them together into a unified theory

So my question to you is what is the importance of this potential difference to you personally? I mean, besides the pure intellectual joy, what is it about this difference that is fascinating to you?

What's important to me is to preserve the world-view of object-processes that exhibit emergent properties of difference, variety, specificity, diversity, rather than saying 'it's ultimately all one' or 'it's ultimately all empty.'

I love this viewpoint. You can hear me and Almaas talking about it at length on our podcast together.

Although we don't talk about it philosophically, but more as an experience.
