interesting take on duality/nonduality was created by Kate Gowen
Following a link on a recent Brad Warner blogpost, I found this very interesting other blog essay :
infinitewavesofbeauty.blogspot.com/2014/...hat-it-destroys.html
"I think it is fair to expect this process of "creative destruction" to continue well into the future. The question it raises, of course, is what is it that is being created in the process? What kind of religion and spirituality will secularism create, to replace what it has destroyed? And will that be determined largely by the marketplace and its forces, or by something else? And how does the whole matter of enlightenment figure into this? Is there a place for enlightenment within the secular world that is rapidly coming about? Or will secularism fail due to its own internal inconsistencies, paving the way for something else entirely to make its appearance.
I think I will have to leave those questions hanging for the moment. Or maybe for several centuries. I can only say that these are the sorts of questions I want to keep exploring on this blog in the future, to whatever degree that I can. We live in interesting times."
