A Dual

Dual means two and in the context of this blog two opposites: good/bad, male/female, art/commerce. We classify and partition the world into these parts to create a persona. "I am ... a male filmmaker that makes art."



Nondual indicates one. A unity. Holding opposites in balance. Here we surrender all mental comparisons and judgments. There is no goal except to experience the other or whatever experience comes to us. When for a moment, we let go of the identity we have created, the fear of failing disappears. How can I fail if there is no standard or expectation to reach. Here there is freedom. "I am."

There is a cultural construction that says if I am not using my intellect, I am not progressing. The opposite is true. For example, in the moment of listening, I am not evaluating. I am fully experiencing what you think. When you finish speaking, I intuitively draw on my own experience and create a thought, speak it, and then let it go. I may disagree vehemently, but the conversation becomes about holding opposite ideas together. Letting words, ideas, and passions flow. I am one with you in the moment.


"The electric charge on a body may be positive or negative. Two positively charged bodies experience a mutual repulsive force, as do two negatively charged bodies. A positively charged body and a negatively charged body experience an attractive force."
