The bottom line is that you exist because of your family and society, so returning to the roots is largely "returning to the fold."

Process to "get to a non-dual awareness state": focus on the space between the in-breath and out-breath; then, focus on the space between the out-breath and the in-breath; repeat. This is non-duality in time, the stillness between processes.
Another way to "get to a non-dual awareness": Think of one thing, such as "God in Heaven." Then, think of the opposite, such as "The Devil in Hell." Then, take 1/2 step, resting in the space between the two, which holds them both in one world. This is non-duality in space, the center between a revolving process.
