[edit] Question about non-duality

I was introduced to the concept of Turiya by an interview with a man named Ken Wilber. The way he described it (as I understood), was as a non-dual state. That is, as in the deep-sleep state we have pure Consciousness (without any objects), which is much the goal of meditation in many traditions. But if we then have that same "emptiness" through the waking and dream states, there is a union of the formless with the world of form.

I'd be interested to hear any thoughts on this from someone with a more extensive background than I have.. Peace, -David Paxfeline 22:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
