Great article ViMukthi
I love that you have concluded that transcendence goes beyond this whole bliss / suffering paradigm, which seems to be just another duality of mind.

Through the lens of self inquiry we might start to ask who is the identity who is placed on this spectrum, are we that? Who is observing this whole play of duality, and can the observer be the play its self?

Transcendence and non identification with the characters who inhabit the spectrum of duality seems to be the only way to be free. I guess this is why so many traditions have such an emphasis on oneness. 

It seems your article really got me contemplating! I am looking forward to more of this content from you :)

What we are is like what a rive is. The river exists. But every time you point at the river, it's a different river. I see that the reality has 2 layers of truth like that of a mirage. People who see mirages aren't schizophrenic. The mirage exists. But it's just a phenomenon that is ultimately empty.

The single best sophisticated example would actually be a dictionary. Each word has meaning in reference to few other words. At the end of it all thee is not a single origin point or original word. There is the relative truth of dichotomy and the ultimate truth of nothingness. (This is a point where I differ from most non-dualists. I say there is no oneness. The two sides of the coin didn't sprung out of one side. The 2 extremes create and define each other. They are each other's origin point like the word and its meaning in a dictionary. Our reality is like a complex web like words and definitions of a dictionary. --Remove the duality and you don't get 1. What you gain is something that isn't defined by the 2. Transcendence is Zero. Zero stands o its own.)
