The nonduality philosophy states that there is only one eternal spirit in existence. It says that everything in the Universe was created by it and is an inseparable part of it. Any separateness is an illusion of the mind.
Nonduality speaks of the Oneness of Being and aims at becoming aware of this Oneness. In the East, this philosophy is known as Advaita Vedanta.
