Background
Nondualism means "not two" or "one undivided without a second". Nondualism primarily refers to a mature state of consciousness, in which the dichotomy of I-other is "transcended", and awareness is described as "centerless" and "without dichotomies". Although this state of consciousness may seem to appear spontaneous, it usually follows prolonged preparation through ascetic or meditative/contemplative practice, which may include ethical injunctions. Nondualism varies considerably on context and spans many different defintions. To fit nondualism here it is simply required for a character be in a state of either not being bound by duality, being true oneness, embodying both sides of the duality at once, essentially making you undivided, or transcending dualities.
Notes
- Non-Dualism does not grant one a tier, non-dualism implies the user is unbound by duality of concepts which aren't tierable.
- Not all Non-Dualism is created equal, some of the ways to get it are lesser in extent to others, though it should be noted all of them would at the very least give a resistance to Duality Manipulation.
