Nondual therapy teachers Nic Higham and Amy Ward delve into outward-facing nonduality, also known as the Tantric approach or the path of inclusion and love where all experiences are expressions of a single reality, or wholeness.
In Taoism, reality emerges from the unnamable Tao, manifesting through its localised potency as variations of a single substance. In Kashmir Shaivism, reality (Shiva) pulses to express the universe, with multiplicity as Shiva’s freedom made visible. In Purna Advaita, the Absolute evolves into expressions through matter, with material forms as divine energy expressions. Multiplicity is the Whole’s creative play, expanding through unique forms.
In Huayan Buddhism, the universe is a web where ultimate Principle and individual phenomena interpenetrate, with each entity reflecting the totality. Beyond spirituality, ‘priority monism’ in philosophy posits that the whole is fundamental, with difference without division.
