| I can say is this: Both monism and dualism exist. God is person and is also the | 8 MEDIUMSHIP -- HOW TO CONTACT GOD'S SPIRIT WORLD |

| suffice to bring you to the transition from dualism to unity. Growth on the dualistic plane must | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |

| whose consciousness is geared to the concept of dualism, who cannot perceive the conciliating, unifying way of | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| existence. Spheres of consciousness that have transcended the dualism of this plane have different physical laws, corresponding | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| in a dualistic way. The moment you transcend dualism, two opposite and apparently mutually exclusive aspects become | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| split within itself as a result of illusory dualism. The down movement -- death -- represents one | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| -- death -- represents one side of the dualism, the upward movement -- life -- the other | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| The main error in this separated state is dualism -- all either/or. We have talked about many | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| discuss a specific, extremely important, and very fundamental dualism -- based, as usual, on erroneous concepts. This | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| sphere -- is in perpetual, joyful movement. The dualism of conflict is the exact result of the | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| exact result of the denial of movement. The dualism here is not only life versus death, but | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| these two aspects making one unitive whole, a dualism makes two mutually exclusive opposites out of them | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
