Hey Zoomers!

Non-dual duality. 
That's what we look at.  
Maybe we should write it - nondualduality. 
Yes! That is better. It seems more......fresh, less visual separation presupposing an underlying actual separation of two concepts. It also looks a little nonsensical, confusing the mind a bit. I like that! 
When we separate them for the purpose of dialogue, is there a silent, still 'impression' that the non-dual part is 'better'? Is it what is being looked for, pointed to? Does the dual part feel less valuable?
It seems so many of us come to this by a push of 'suffering'. Somehow maybe there is a feeling that nondualduality can not be 'found' in suffering. Or, maybe for some, more accurately, nondualduality is not inclusive of suffering. 
If you were happy, content, joyful, at peace, would you still hang out in nondualduality circles? 
Why do these emotions (happy, content, etc.) not evoke the same curiosity about this that we look at every week? 
Afterall, both are it and it is both. 

Maybe that kicks things off. Maybe something else is on your mind. 
Either way, we look forward to seeing you! 

With Metta, 
Sheri & Jim
