These questions were sent to me with a note saying they are AI-generated questions meant to challenge a nondual teacher. There are no challenging questions, so I tried to make it harder by answering in fifteen minutes. No problem. I also made myself a cup of coffee, checked spelling and punctuation, and rotated my tires in that time.
1. How can one reconcile the concept of individual identity with the idea of nonduality?
The “idea” of nonduality is that awareness is true and does exist, appearance is untrue and does not exist. No-self is true self. Individual identity is an appearance and does not, in truth, exist.
That was too easy. I’m sure I could have said
things better, but I was watching the clock.
