Monism is the belief that there is only one kind of "stuff". For instance, the belief that the mind is merely a property of matter and that everything is matter and energy is one form of monism - physicalism, and the belief that all things are mind is another - idealism.

Dualism is the belief that there are two basic kinds of stuff, like souls and bodies for instance.

Both are false...If there is only One then "who" can proclaim it? If there is One- It is an infinite One!
