From the heart: the new non-duality

Everywhere you look is this word "non-duality." It was obscure in the '90s but now it's the hot new trend. I posted about it two weeks ago after I attended
a non-duality teaching by someone who's concept of non-duality was "I don't know anything." Since then I've seen the word pop up on websites, other teachings, flyers, and billboards. Just kidding, not on billboards, but if you're travelling the spiritual path in the Bay Area it might as well be.
So what's duality? We must know something. Some people indicate that the appearance of a separate self is the duality, because in reality we are all one. Their duality is therefore a paradox of the illusion of separation, and resolved by experiencing the unity of all things.
But my concept since 2000 has been that if the unity itself is illusion, there is a higher paradox: the dual nature of the illusion and the absolute, or that which is formless, timeless, and infinite. This duality is resolved by perfect awareness of the present moment, not a moment in time or space, but of direct experience in the now. In that moment, all things exists - the past, the future, eternity of time, infinity of space, and everything the mind can grasp. This moment of direct awareness is full, because all needs are met, and nothing is missing. The duality of the full moment and the illusion of unity is resolved.
However this creates yet another duality: that of full awareness, and that of the empty self. Many will talk about the empty, non-existence of self as being their direct experience. A few will give reognition to a state of fullness. If there is a duality of full awareness and emptiness of self, how can that be resolved? This resolution cannot be asserted, or described in any way. That is the place where words, thoughts, and mind can only point to. In that place, awareness is both empty and full, and neither. I have doubts about anyone who describes non-duality with words and leaves it at that. It seems we must make the final assertion a recognition of non-assertion beyond any concept. Buddha taught the basis for all of this in the Lankavatara Sutra, which I read in 1998. It can be downloaded for free now. But I can't find anyone who has read it, including some Buddhist priests.
This morning I awoke in the Great Heart again, and was compelled to understand, in my present experience of self as a duality, how that heart can be resolved into a fully realized experience. Aha! Something came to me. Here it is.
I've already touched on the concept that the heart is the bridge between the words of the teacher and the student's opening to full realization, if the heart is even present in those teachings. But that's what creates a new duality - the duality of that which is beyond assertions, and the direct experience of the Great Heart. Both are indescribable, and each is a place to get stuck. Bhaktis, seekers who surrender and enter the heart, become blissed out but not empty. Those who follow a path of Gnani, the knower, get every question answered and enter the emptiness yet are not full. True non-duality could be the integration of the fullness of heart and emptiness of mind. Bhakti and Gnani are two of the eight forms of yoga. All yoga disciplines serve to unite the self with the divine, or reach a state of unity, experienced with the unitive mind. But that is not true enlightenment! Now I see that we must experience both the Bhakti and the Gnani to realize integrated awareness. It occurs that they must merge after awakening, and that is integration.
Now I'm warming up to the Great Heart, and my mind has grasped what there is to grasp. What's next? A mystery, and it is unknown what will come out of it.

This essay is complex and confusing, as it should be. That's because  right now my mind is limited to only grasping the illusion, using words that cannot define our true nature.  There are those who will attack these words, negate everything, claim that the truth can only be this or that, and make assertions of their own. Let them. My only claim is that this is my truth here and now, and it will keep changing. I'm only writing for myself, and I'll probably disagree with what I have written a few days from now! It may be time to revisit the Lankavatara Sutra.
