Six Kinds of Nonduality: A Conversation with Pierce Salguero

A lot of people are talking about nonduality these days, but what are they referring to? Are they referring to the same thing? And how do experiences of nonduality relate to classical Buddhist insights? In conversation with BCBS Director of Studies, William Edelglass, Pierce Salguero will introduce six varieties of nonduality that are highlighted in Buddhist teachings, other Asian traditions, and contemporary Western spirituality. In this conversation based on Pierce’s current book project, he will discuss the similarities and differences between unity consciousness, subject/object collapse, energetic synesthesia, psychic integration, and other realizations. This conversation will explore what each is like experientially, the practices that can evoke them, and their associated worldviews and spiritual philosophies. The event will provide a framework to help you differentiate between spiritual teachings while also seeing how they can fit together.
