Phenomenological Analysis of the Nondual State

The nondual state is directly examined as a state of consciousness devoid of dichotomies. It is characterized by the absence of the observer-observed, subject-object, and self-other distinctions.

This state is described as one of unity or total integration with all that is.

Bracketing in the context of the nondual state involves suspending judgments or preconceived notions about the nature of self, other, and reality. This allows for a pure observation and experience of nonduality.

The absence of dichotomies in this state is not judged or analyzed, but simply observed and experienced.

The first-person experience of the nondual state is one of unity and oneness. The individual experiences a dissolution of the self-other dichotomy, leading to a sense of total integration with all that is.

This experience is deeply personal and subjective, varying from person to person.

The exploration of the lifeworld in the nondual state involves an immediate experience of reality without the usual dichotomies. The world is not experienced as separate from the self, but as an integrated whole.

This exploration often results in profound insights about the nature of reality and self.
