Will do!

Very sympathetic to your point but it comes down to the limits of language.

I actually wrote an entire article for my substack on this today (yet to be published). It's about how the question "what's going on?" is superior to questioning the nature of reality, as the latter introduces the idea that there is something called "reality".

Here is a good beginning to a Contemplative Research Starter Pack. Suggestions welcome. I'll try to keep it updated as more people migrate over to the blue sky 🙏 #contemplativeresearch #contemplativescience #mindfulness #meditation #yoga #breathwork #psychedelics go.bsky.app/StDaiA6

I think they go together very well, as both nonduality and naturalism see reality as having no fundamental disjunctions, they see existence as a coherent whole.

My new book, The Dawn of Mind, introduces a worldview I call Nondual Naturalism. It holds that reality is fundamentally undivided (nondual). It also holds that our understanding of reality should cohere with our scientific understanding of the world (naturalism).
