Nonduality is myth and not belief. But reality is easier to believe than realize.
Look, nonduality is like a map published by a trusted source.
It tells you where you are metaphysically speaking and where truth is.
Careful, just because truth is on your map doesn’t mean you’re there.
Neither does it mean you’re not. That’s where honest self-inquiry comes into play.
It follows non-abiding realization is a common understanding.
Believing it's abiding is a common misunderstanding.

If brahman is one without a second, then this must be maya.
If brahman is one without a second, then my essential self is brahman.
If brahman is not one without a second—that’s just maya talking.
Nonduality is divine imagination—deconstruction and revelation; existence, consciousness, and bliss. One’s highest self is the absolute reality.
The world is name and form superimposed upon being-awareness-infinity. Without a doubt, nihilism is one of the greatest feats of imagination.
In advaita, self-evident existence, self-shining consciousness, and self-contained bliss is satcitananda, the nature of brahman the absolute.
Satcitananda is one brahman in three tantamount aspects, the holy trinity of nonduality. Real myth is divine imagination. The world is imagination through a glass darkly.
The second mahavakya Vidyaranya explicates is aham brahmasmi.
Focusing on the first word of the three words—aham, or I—
what does this I represent, the physical or metaphysical?
This is essentialy self-inquiry: the I is paramatman, the supreme unlimited self.
Pure consciousness is the witness of reflected consciousness which by the eye is not seen but by which the seeing is seen, that I of I Am, the prajnanam of jnanam.
How marvelous! The consciousness of any creature in creation is the same one consciousness of the Creator itself.
Consciousness not only passes through the eye of a needle but encompasses the cosmos. Prajnanam brahma.
Julia of Norwich wore the pink panther faithfully. There are two macrocosmic universes: general relativity and quantum mechanics. And so on. It’s not as much scriptures as revelations. It’s not as much free will as non-doing. It’s not about how it should be but as it is.
It's neither religious nor scientific nor all the sub-divisions. Being is intuitive. Separate the wheat from the chaff. The gem in their pocket is your gem. The lint in their pocket is their lint. My paraverse is busy separating my gem from their lint. Owning it intuitively is sometimes called lectio divina.
Self-realization is not a goal. It happens. It’s like this transcendental stage of evolution within the subtle body of brahman. Enlightenment is a popular name for it. One day at a time. Don’t take it personal. Do your best. As one is well aware, waking is gradually spontaneous.
