Duality and non-duality. Source. What is it? Thought tends to lean towards an explanation building on a foundation of separation. God and creation.
Consider a water source. The very source of it. It doesn’t start with water gushing out of a crack in a mountain, before that it was a river somewhere. Before that it was a series of interconnected lakes. Before that it was the raindrops falling from the sky. Before that it was the clouds in the sky. Before that it was vapor rising from the sea. And as our initial source continues on its path as a river, a waterfall, a river delta it eventually joins the sea and the circle is completed. There is no One source, the whole cycle with all its different forms is the source. The water itself always present no matter what form it appears as. So is duality never separated from non-duality. So is Source always present no matter what form it assumes at the moment. Its essence is always the same.
