In Panosophy, the concept of abstraction can first be viewed as the process of viewing the waves and currents on and beneath the vast Ocean of Consciousness as apparently separate beings. As it is illusory to view these abstractions as disconnected from the underlying Reality, they are māyā in the world of form.

Denotes the Absolute alone. Advaita is not a philosophy or religion and should not be confused with Advaita-Vedanta, one of the three branches of Vedanta, the others being Dvaita-Vedanta (‘dualistic’) and Vishishtavaita-Vedanta (‘quaified nondualism’).

When we know the nondual Absolute in the depth of our being, we know that there is no separate entity that can be said to do or own anything; there is no doership or ownership.

Advaita is thus a way of life that is grounded on the Absolute, like Zen and Tao.
