Does the weight of the body contradict non-duality?



Does the seeming existence of this projected empirical reality, deny the non-duality of consciousness? It cannot. 

Does the weight of the body contradict the nonduality of consciousness? Can it? It cannot. 

Sensations felt do not contradict the nonduality of consciousness. Sensations are apparently made of consciousness, they seemingly arise in changeless consciousness, as seemingly sustained in it and they seemingly resolve in consciousness.

In the same manner the presence of the body and its weight also does not contradict the non-duality of consciousness.

The understanding of two orders of reality should be clear. Not two realities - two orders of reality.  We do need to posit two orders of reality to account for the empirical reality. Consciousness is the absolute reality, changeless and infinite. The empirical reality we live in is projected and dependent on the absolute reality - it can never limit consciousness because it is never separate from consciousness. 

The presence of wave does not contradict the nonduality of water, in and thru the ocean, the tap water, the gutter water.

The presence of ornaments do not contradict the nonduality of gold in and thru all ornaments of gold.

The presence of the movie does not contradict its truth the movie screen that sustains it.

Study of traditional Advaita from traditional teachers is a must - otherwise errors in understanding take place.
