Dualism to Monism

If we observe thought or conversation for a while, with a little knowledge about how conflict works and where it is found a certain thought-system should eventually become clear. Language, as we use it, has been reduced to a method of verbal fisticuffs, delivering low, offensive blows wherever possible. It is a means of ridicule, comparison, judgment, and execution all in one.

Of the people you meet, not one gets past without feeling the brunt of dualism. A simple question, "How are you?" gives rise to an impossible response that hides the true answer in its deeper meaning. Generally, a "Good" or "Not so good" answer will be presented. Most minds imagine good at one end of a scale, and bad at the other end, but this isn't entirely true. Good is not opposed to bad. If I'm zero good, that doesn't mean I feel bad. And If zero bad, it doesn't imply all good by default. So good/bad is a variable illusion of dualism.

Like and dislike are in a similar state. All our lives we've been conditioned to like or dislike anything and everything, but objects, people, and animals don't need our input to confirm they exist or to otherwise validate them. It is only the ego that seeks constant validation and it accidentally applies this self-imposed law on everything else. It is an act of desperation to work this way.

If all of these dualisms appear to be personal perspectives, then none are real. If none are true opposites and all are variable depending on who you speak to in the world, then they are a myth.

Noticing and changing this is very difficult. First, you have to be able to observe it so you even know how to apply Monism. Then you have to alter language and thinking to avoid using it. Then you have to constantly be aware that you can slip back into it. Not being a dualist takes constant work against the dualist thinking of those who surround us, entertainment, news, education, and so on.

The term "Divide and Conquer" concerns the mind of each individual, and the population as a whole.
