There's Advaita Vedanta in Indian Philosophy which talks about non dualism. Is there any similar variation in western world?

God is in opposition to not-the-God, so it is dualistic again IMHO.

Well, no.

In Spinoza's view, God is not a separate entity but the fundamental substance of the universe. It's God all the way down.

okay then, i misunderstood. What spinoza calls "god", i call "magic". we're all a product of magic, including science, god and all forms of life. unfortunately, i can't find a link that explains better right now.
