Your non-dual awareness might not dissolve the distinction between the available and unavailable sides of your experience, between its day and night, but it is intended to soften it, to make it more a matter of degree than kind. Whatever the case may be internally, this awareness does not soften or override the distinction between your experience and that of others, and so it does not do away with ethics in any sense at all. Compassion or empathy might be thought to assist here, but the problems of mirroring, projection, projective identification and more generally of confirmation bias render these means far less effective than it would seem. It is not that you might learn to see into others, but rather that you might gain some access to a broader perspective that includes both you and the other that will enable you to see what you know, what you should know, what you can't know and what it is that you hold concealed in your heart, in regards to your actions, both past and present.
