This volume offers alternative pathways of creative research that strive to undertand the work of the non-dual in self, culture, society and the world. The essays herein are drawn from sociology, anthropology, philosophy, literature, development studies, cultural studies and religious studies. They reflect on our field of thinking, practice and collaborative imagination, raising vital and deep questions about theory and practice and exploring an ontological epistemology of participation as a new pathway of research.
