Since non-duality is not two but one, and a shape requires more than one, it follows that non-duality is non-dimensional.
Duality Hack #1.5 from the free eBook Alexius’ Duality Hacks
Non-duality, being no more than One, defies anything that requires more than One, for instance, dimensionality. That is why non-duality is formless and impossible to define. Yet it seems dimensional when viewed from a distance, observed from different perspectives, combined in various ways, and distinguished by deeming some aspects better than others.
But looking at non-duality from outside is just a fantasy. It has no edges because it has no form. Also, it takes more than one to notice something, so it is impossible to define that which is One.

The non-dimensional nature of non-duality appears concealed by a dimensional world. But since non-duality, being formless, is everything, a dimensional world is a fantasy, not made by anything or anyone.

Compared with a world defined by time and space, non-duality, being non-dimensional, is smaller than anything else. Yet because it has no beginning or end, it is everything. Consequently, a world defined by time and space is a hallucination.

When seeking reality, many look for something larger and better in a world of time and space. Yet reality is neither larger nor better. It is the formlessness of non-duality, not something specific or located anywhere definable. No worries. What is shapeless has no beginning or end, so it is everywhere, forever.

Separation confirms the non-dimensional nature of non-duality
In the animation above and the illustration below, the single stroke at the bottom left symbolises the non-dimensional, infinite nature of non-duality. Its multiplication into a tree symbolises the world of dimensions. Thus, ratifying the dimensional tree confirms non-duality. After all, it’s formless and thus endless, so you can’t experience a dimensional world without it.
What you read on your electronic media is a simulation of the computer code underlying it, layered over the basic encoding of your media. In other words, everything on your media screen is a layered construction. This reflects the basic principle of duality: to fabricate something definite from something indefinite and to layer the spin-off on top of the source.
However, this does not mean you must peel away layers in a world of duality to reach non-duality. Nor do you need to avoid anything, do the right thing, or have a pure heart, because non-duality is non-dimensional and thus infinite. Therefore, since there’s no experience of duality without non-duality, all duality experiences are a positive confirmation of non-duality.

Appearing to be in a world where you are not
New technology regularly reflects duality as a layer on top of non-duality. For instance, when wearing AR glasses, your view of the world changes, making it seem as if you live in a virtual world alongside the real one. This can be so captivating that you may forget the real world for a bit.
Virtual reality glasses take this a step further by completely eclipsing the physical world. However, the experience of a physical or virtual world is equally artificial, as it takes more than one to be aware of something, and there’s no more than that which is One, since it’s formless and, thus, endless.

That which is you doesn’t deviate from non-duality. Since it’s non-dimensional, it’s endless, so there’s nothing but that which is you. Consequently, the experience of a dimensional world in which you appear as a substantial being, interacting with similar entities, is a hallucination.
If you mistakenly perceive this hallucination as reality, correct it easily. As you are not where you pretend to be, simply pretend to be someone in a dimensional world. See Duality Hack #2.

In the early days of Hip-Hop, a tape loop of a beloved piece of an obscure R&B track was inserted into a ghetto blaster. There, the loop was played continuously as if it were a unique piece of music created by the one dancing or rapping to it on the street. Nowadays, the loops have become more advanced, but the idea is the same: You present loops of music as if they’re something new. In many ways, this repeats how the world of duality emerged, with imagined fragments of non-duality sampled into a virtual reality on top of it.
Using loops of the whole to make it look like new creations
The way hip hop started is an excellent illustration of how more than one seemed to arise from that which is One.
In the late 70s, rappers would isolate their favourite part of a sound recording – such as a guitar riff – from a cassette tape by cutting it out and looping it on an empty cassette.
Then they played this loop on a portable boombox in the street, dancing or rapping to entertain others. Their performance seemed to transform the loop into something distinctively their own. LL Cool J started his career in this way.
Today, with technological advances, sampling is done using software, which often combines multiple samples into multi-layered compositions that sound entirely new.
In the early 80s, another way of creating sound from existing records emerged: scratching. This technique involved DJs using fast, back-and-forth motions of a vinyl record on one turntable with one hand while manipulating the mixer with the other to add a distinctive scratching sound layered over the music from another record.
To conclude, just as fragments of existing music can sound like new music, a world with more than one is formed from fragmented and distorted visions of that which is One.

There is no need to ponder when the story of a world with more than one ends. It ended the moment it began. We are just replaying selected loops (Duality Hack #2.3), such as meeting someone special. This is fun when we know the loops are not real, only imagined fragments of what is, namely non-duality.
