On The Esoteric Level, All Paths Are Non-Duality
On the esoteric level, all paths are non-duality:
pure consciousness.
Zen, Tao, Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Vedanta … and possibly a rare individual of no denomination … all are non-believers. They are no longer believers; they know. The illusion that they are separate is due to different forms of display.
On the exoteric level, all paths – including the above list – are separate, as believers maintain a duality which is attached to their display.
It all depends on personal understanding of
form and essence.
Theorists cannot understand that
our absolute reality of pure consciousness
isn’t something invented or created.
It just is.
It didn’t start anywhere,
at any time or in any place,
so there’s no point in clinging to a name.
