http://innerexplorations.com/ewtext/dialogue.htm features a discussion between Judith Blackstone (author of "The Enlightenment Process," Jim and Tyra Arraj, and myself on the issue of duality and non-duality with respect to God. Check it out.
For those who wonder about these terms, duality refers to God as "other," Someone or Something distinct from myself, though not necessarily disconnected from self. Non-duality makes no distinction (ontologically) between God and self.
This is not your everyday discussion, but it's right at the heart of the dialogue between Christian contemplatives and Eastern mystics.
Enjoy. . . and come back with your comments.
