Purpose of our Center: The Center for Non-Dualism is a community for people who share the Non-Dual perspective of Religion, Yoga, and Philosophy. The purpose of the Center is to maintain a loving fellowship and to provide a nurturing environment that is conducive to learning and experiencing the oneness of Non-Dualism.

Fellowship

Non-Dualism (Nebula NGC 7293)

Meaning of Non-Dualism: Non-Dualism is the orientation that there is one absolute reality without a second, and that each of us, although an individual person, is one with that reality, just as a wave is not separate from the ocean. The emphasis of our Center is on the practices such as contemplation and meditation which lead to the direct experience of this Non-Dual reality.

Our Programs: The Center for Non-Dualism is based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and serves the Emerald Coast of the Northwest Florida. It is our wish to bring to the people of the area a greater visibility and accessibility of programs with a Non-Dual perspective. Our weekly gatherings will be complemented by other programs either through the Center or the individual members in other venues.
 

Community

Practices lead to Non-Dualism

Views on Practices: Our view is that all dualistic religions, practices, and philosophies are practical tools that ultimately lead to the direct experience of the Non-Dual reality. The passion of devotion towards the divine or dualistic god or deity is felt to bring the joy of merging with the absolute, immanent, Non-Dual divinity. The awe filled insights of contemplation are thought to bring the highest knowing of the one Non-Dual existence which has no second. The intense focus of meditation pierces the levels of dualism and leads to the realization of the Non-Dual reality. All of these practices are considered to work together like fingers on a hand, leading one to the direct experience of being one with the Non-Dual.

Organizing Council: A Council of people serve as advisors for the Center for Non-Dualism, including three who are equal Directors of the Council, with no one of the three in charge. These three Directors are (in alphabetical order) Bill Campbell, Swami Jnaneshvara, and Felicia McQuaid. The names of the Council members are on the Organization page.
