It means effortless action, or in different words, action without an independent doer. #philsci In the same vain as non-duality means duality as the only thing occurring, without some other “independent, untouched sort of thing” causing it to happen.

In a typical retort to a _true origin of_ the answer is duality, a practiced mediation (or just "feeling in the zone") makes this clear. The examiner falls to the examined, the doer falls to the doing. It's not a moment of synchronization, it's an eternity of being, without breaks.
