At some point Ram Das came up, I think his phrase “be here now” can be used
nicely to frame a metaphysics of non dual  presence.

Be - “to be” action, verb, process, energy, information  - presenting mind
as meaning
Here - place, space, relationship - present in mind
Now - presence of mind

Mind presenting meaning as creative evolution through relationship with
Mind.

Cheers
