It is striking how frequently in Dutch and foreign literature (belle letters: poetry and prose) experiences are put into words that go in the direction of non-duality. Frequently these texts do not stand in the category of a particular spiritual tradition and are the expressions of the experience of an individual person. Nevertheless they display a great similarity on the point of the dissollution or relativity of borders, differences, contrasts and limitations.
It is of great value to place some of these texts here, because they can give a recognition and inspiration. There is seldom an expression of the real mystery of a non-dual being-experience - mostly the writer/poet remains as an I-person - but the texts are nevertheless instructive.
In this category texts are taken from out of the generallly published literature, especially from out of the Dutch literature, in which there is a clear indication towards non-duality. These texts are filled with relevant essays, interviews, biographies, et cetera... If you would like to contribute to this category, you can send texts (with a full attribution of the source(s)) to the editor. The editor holds the rights to refuse submissions not appropriate and to edit others in consultation with the sender.
