Awakening to Oneness: Embracing Nonduality to Experience Peace, and Love

By Yol Swan

Posted on October 31, 2024

 



 
In a world marked by division and conflict, the concept of oneness or nonduality offers a profound shift in perspective. It invites us to recognize the connectedness of all beings as a cosmic organism—the eternal Self we are, dreaming a dream of multiplicity. This can foster a sense of empathy, compassion, and harmony with ourselves and others. More importantly, embracing oneness gradually transforms our experience of life as a reflection of ourselves.
 
Within the framework of nonduality (Advaita), the separation we perceive between ourselves and others is ultimately an egoic illusion that leads to judgments, misunderstandings, and suffering. But recognizing the fundamental unity of all things allows us to see that beneath the apparent differences—be they cultural, social, or ideological—we are essentially the same, sharing the human experience through the same ego and mind, and yearning for the totality of our true, divine nature.
 
Divine Consciousness is paradoxical. It projects into the human mind to experience itself in infinite forms and eventually realize that it cannot be found in the mind but only by transcending the mind. At the same time, the journey to the eternal Self is a process of individuation or self-awareness. Without knowing the ego-self we cannot access the true Self, but as we investigate the ego-mind with which we have identified (our separate “identity”), the fragmentation of the ego dissolves and gives way to our essence.
 
We can stop fixating on others as separate from ourselves and instead appreciate that we are each unique expressions of Consciousness. That is, we can direct our attention from otherness (our identifications projected as other people) to self (our sense of individuality), and from this ego-self to the eternal Self we truly are. This is the core of the Swan Method I share in You Are Your Healer, which is a step-by-step guide to turn the mind inward to embrace the Pure Awareness we all are.
 
The Power of Self-Awareness
This begins with self-reflection and emotional honesty. By turning inward and observing our ego-mind—thoughts, impressions, memories, impulses, desires, and emotions—without identifying with them, we begin to dissolve the beliefs with which we have constructed the identities that ultimately trap us in outdated or false ideas about ourselves. Self-awareness is love, so it gives us a sense of presence that transcends the ego’s need for separation.
 
When we yearn to perceive oneness in our reality, we begin to experience life from a more expansive viewpoint. We start to see ourselves in others; not only the joys, struggles, and aspirations we share as part of the human experience, but also what people reflect back to us that has been hidden in our subconscious—the triggers pointing to our fears, attachments, and hidden motivations. When the focus is on our reflection, rather than the behavior of others, the sense of separation disappears.
 
In truth, we are mirrors to each other. It is through these reflections that Consciousness makes us conscious of ourselves—who we think we are—until we remove all false identifications to expand into the totality of the Consciousness we truly are. Awareness is love, and love dissolves all egoic wounds and differences. As we become more self-aware, we reclaim our center and interact with other people without expectations or fear. If we stop making everything personal (about “me, me, me”), a sense of empathy and togetherness emerges, making it easier to connect with those around us, even when our circumstances appear to be different.
 
The magic of Consciousness is that, as we look within and remove the sense of separation, our life-movie and our experiences begin to shift. Obstacles disappear, difficult people no longer trigger us, the usual painful dynamics we’ve repeated over and over do not affect us anymore. There is more room for us to express ourselves freely, as we reclaim our center instead of giving our power to other people through our sense of otherness—that inner bully that sabotages our enjoyment of life.
 
Harmony in Our Lives and the World
We create space for harmony because we understand that conflict arises from a lack of self-awareness and the ignorance of the ego-mind we all share. When we awaken to the connectedness of all beings, we approach difficulties with curiosity and openness rather than defensiveness, making room for Consciousness to take care of it all. As we surrender the ego, we give priority to communication, resolution, and collaboration.
 
On a larger scale, embracing oneness transforms our communities and societies. We perceive the world as we perceive ourselves, so if we see ourselves as separate, we will continue to see the conflicts of this delusion everywhere. The pain in the world is a reflection of our pain; the anger, confusion, and deception out there are also reflections of what we haven’t resolved in ourselves.
 
The world arises with us when we wake up every morning and disappears when we fall asleep. In other words, without us, there is no world; we make it real with our awareness. We are the source and the center of it all, but we have allowed the ego-mind to hijack this truth. The sooner we start reclaiming it, the sooner we can experience life from a place of peace and love.If everything and everyone we perceive is an aspect of ourselves, then what is there to be afraid of or guilty about?
 
This new perception, however, requires much discipline to master the ego-mind and stop believing the familiar delusion that not only reinforces the sense of separation, duality, or otherness but also keeps us emotionally stuck in a false identity that distorts our experience of life. So contact me today to embark on your unique journey to the eternal Self you are and have always been!

8 Signs You Have Highly Developed Cognitive Empathy

Janey Davies, B.A. (Hons).

https://www.learning-mind.com/

September 11th, 2020.


 
 

How do you react when you see another human being in pain? How about when children or animals are suffering? Most of us would feel sadness. We call that empathy, the ability to put yourself in their place and feel their pain. But there is more than just one type of empathy and one is cognitive empathy.
 
Before I examine cognitive empathy, I’d like to clarify the three different types of empathy.
 
3 types of empathy: emotional, compassionate, and cognitive empathy
 
Emotional empathy
 
This is the definition of empathy we are all familiar with. All empathy is an ability to put oneself in another person’s shoes. Empathy is the capacity to imagine what another person is feeling.
 
Emotional empathy is seeing this perspective from an emotional point of view. So we feel the grief and sorrow of others. We suffer the same physical symptoms, mirroring their emotions, having the same feelings as them.
 
Compassionate empathy
 
Compassionate empathy takes emotional empathy one step further. It adds an element of action with the emotion. Along with the capacity of feeling the same emotions is an urge to do something.
 
For example, your friend comes to you feeling depressed, knowing that you have previously suffered from depression. An emotional empath would know exactly what their friend was going through and feel their feelings. A compassionate one would take their friend to see a doctor.
 
Cognitive empathy
 
Finally, cognitive empathy is the ability to see another person’s perspective but in a more logical and analytical way. Some people describe cognitive empathy as a bit of an oxymoron.
 
This is because cognitive empaths are able to take the emotion out of a situation, something we don’t associate with empathy. People with a highly developed sense of cognitive empathy can understand what a person is going through without emotional connotations.
 
So, to clarify:
  • Emotional empathy: is connecting with someone’s emotions.
  • Cognitive empathy: is understanding the emotions of someone.
  • Compassionate empathy: is acting to help someone.
 
 
8 signs you have a highly developed cognitive empathy
 
You are a good mediator
 
Do you find that others naturally come to you to solve a dispute or argument? Having a highly developed sense of cognitive empathy allows you to see both sides of the argument.
 
You don’t get emotionally attached to the people involved. Instead, you see beyond the emotion of the situation, are able to evaluate the facts, and arrive at a fair decision for each party.
 
You are calm under pressure
 
Captain ‘Sully’ Sullenberger is the airline pilot that landed his stricken plane in the Hudson River after a bird strike took out both his engines. I would imagine he has a highly developed sense of cognitive empathy.
 
In a situation of intense pressure, he reacted in a methodical and rational manner. He analysed the problem and worked through every possible scenario. He did not let the overwhelming emotional pressure of saving his passengers cloud his thinking.
 
You are a liberal thinker
 
Research shows that people who are emotionally empathic tend to empathise more with people in their own groups. For example, family, friends, political persuasions, nationalities, etc. However, this kind of thinking can lead to prejudice, where we don’t place as high a value on the lives of those who are not in our own group.
 
On the other hand, those with a higher level of cognitive empathy understand that other people have different views, beliefs, values, religions, etc. from themselves. This indicates a wider acceptance of groups that are different from their own.
 
You are opinionated
 
Cognitive simply means thinking. Therefore, it stands to reason that if you can see another person’s perspective in a logical way, you are going to form opinions about the world.
 
As someone who is able to push aside the emotion and drama of a situation, you can focus on the facts.
 
 
For instance, one person may worry about the increasing influx of refugees into their country. However, you would instead research why there is an increase in refugees in the first place. You would ask why people are fleeing, who is responsible for them fleeing, what can be done to help them, how will it impact on local resources.
 
You can predict how people will behave
 
Studies have revealed the existence of mirror neurons in our brains which are activated in response to other people’s emotions and feelings.
 
When we try and predict human behaviour, we often base our predictions on what we would do in similar circumstances when we feel the same emotions.
 
Now, the interesting part is that the people who are highly cognitive empaths can remove the emotional part. This makes them highly efficient at understanding how people behave in certain situations.
 
 
People sometimes accuse you of being cold
 
You don’t fall to pieces every time an advert for starving children in Africa appears on TV. Likewise, sometimes you forget to comfort someone physically or emotionally when they are sad.
 
This isn’t because you are a bad person, it’s more likely that your head is working overtime to find a solution for their problem. This can be particularly useful for certain jobs.
 
For instance, people who are living in refugee camps don’t want others to feel their struggles, they want actual help to get out and live better lives.
 
 
You are a people watcher
 
Is one of your favourite pastimes people-watching? Do you like to sit with a coffee and just watch the world go by? Those with highly attuned cognitive empathy tend to like to observe and watch people.
 
You may even wonder or predict the sort of lives these passers-by have. But you don’t get emotionally attached to the people you are observing. You are quite clinical in your observations. Almost as if you are conducting an experiment.
 
 
You are not afraid of confrontation
 
Being opinionated usually means you also don’t back down from an argument or debate. Again, you don’t let emotion side-track you. You stick to facts to beef up your side of things.
 
And you don’t really get angry. Instead, you try and use logic to persuade and change someone’s mind.
Final thoughts
 
It is certainly true to say that cognitive empathy can be helpful in stressful situations. Especially where emotions can distract or overwhelm. But a combination of emotional, cognitive, and compassionate empathy in equal measures is probably preferable.
