How would you describe nonduality to someone in simple and conventional terms?

As a draft...
What is nonduality:
Thinking and feeling give us the impression that we are a separate-self, a personal-doer.
Nonduality is a bunch of dead concepts that can become alive through our love for truth, brave inquiry and practical exploration.
In ignorance we are hypnotized by the unexamined belief that "I am a body-mind"; a person that is either afraid to be diminished or hungry to be aggrandized.
Nonduality has the capacity to recalibrate our sense of self from a contracted personal "me", into the openness and clarity of "I am".
We discover that our happiness is not dependent on circumstances.
We demystify suffering and see the me-chanism we entertained unknowingly.
We confirm our direct experience: I am something rather than nothing.
Free of the burden to identify myself.
What do I really want?
What do I assume myself to be?
