| in opposites: either/or; good or bad; right or wrong; life or death. In other words, practically everything | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| is no good or bad, no right or wrong, no life or death. There is only good | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| you are right; therefore, immediately, the friend becomes wrong. With dualistic understanding issues can only be either/or | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| a conscious level, on an unconscious level being wrong truly means being dead, for being wrong means | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| being wrong truly means being dead, for being wrong means being denied by the other. On the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| comes to proving your right and the other's wrong. On the dualistic plane each issue ends with | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| right and the opposite aspect being declared the wrong idea. In reality, however, the two complement one | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| is so. The more you prove your friend wrong, the more friction exists and the less you | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| would by proving yourself right and your friend wrong. You believe that by proving yourself right and | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| that by proving yourself right and your friend wrong, your friend will finally accept and love you | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| that you are right and the other is wrong. The rift widens, your anxiety increases, and the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| convinced that there is a right versus a wrong, such appeasement robs you of self- respect and | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| first is: Who is right and who is wrong? Only I can be right. Otherwise all is | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| The second is either giving in to a wrong that you cannot admit, for it is a | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| you cannot admit, for it is a total wrong, or continuing the fight. Admitting a wrong means | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| total wrong, or continuing the fight. Admitting a wrong means death, in a sense. So you are | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| are faced with the alternatives of admitting a wrong, which means death in the deep psyche, in | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| right in the other person's view and of wrong in yours, aspects that, so far, you have | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| right and innocent as you thought, nor as wrong as you feared. Neither is your opponent. You | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| moment you admit and see where you are wrong and the other is right, you submit and | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| Am I not perfectly justified in combating this wrong in the world? On the dualistic plane this | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| this limited outlook you ignore that this very wrong exists only because of your dualistic approach to | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| what you deem right and what you deem wrong, regardless of what the wrong actually is. This | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| what you deem wrong, regardless of what the wrong actually is. This simple act of wanting the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| master life, but you master it on the wrong plane and believe that you must vanquish every | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| that you are governed by a succession of wrong conclusions, which are all completely different in reality | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| and convictions also feels like annihilation, for being wrong means dying, and being right means living. The | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| you deem them good or bad, right or wrong. Needless to say, this does not mean resignation | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| because they do not move away from the wrong conclusion. They have found it, they know in | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
