Duality and Non-Duality as Paths

A man struggles with reconciling two paths: the non-dual path representing being (‘I am’) and the dual path representing existence (‘I exist’). Asking if they’re equally valid or ultimately the same, he expresses feeling he must ‘fight for existence’. Rupert explains that being precedes existence as screen precedes movie – ‘existence’ etymologically means ‘to stand out from’ something, requiring being as its background. However, when anything seems to exist independently, its true nature remains infinite being. He clarifies that strictly speaking, the an doesn’t exist but is – everything that seems to exist (tables, chairs, people) only seems to, while in ultimate analysis there’s just ‘one infinite, indivisible whole, whose nature is indescribable’ but might be referred to as consciousness, being or love.
