By non-plurality I mean the perception that all things are the continuations of an eternal single 'thing.' The experience of non-plurality, as I call it, is different from that of non-duality, which I have never personally experienced. I only had the experience I will try to explain for about an hour or so.
The most important aspect of this experience is that the perception of non-plurality was that it was not some sort of filter being added upon my vision and causing me to see things as all a single thing, but the removal of a filter of my perceptions which already existed within my psyche. The closest I can explain this would be if, while reading this post, you were suddenly unable to read english anymore, leaving you only seeing a bunch lines upon the screen with your perception of these words being in a purer state, like that of a foreigner who never learned the language, thus perceiving the characters as they truly are.
Secondly, many ubiquitous fears that I believe all of us have that are being mostly suppressed were, by their very nature requiring the believe in separation, completely collapsed upon themselves as being self-evidently impossible. These fears, in my experience, was the fear of death (which I usually don't have,) the fear of unworthiness, the fear of loneliness, and the very idea of loneliness itself. This provided a feeling of almost total peace which I had never experienced in my life ever before.
Another interesting aspect of non-plurality is that, while I had it, I simply could not comprehend not having it, the memory of my previous perceptions all being inconceivably alien.
