Dualism and Wisdom by Tom Kitt

The basis for wisdom is 'all is One'. Consequently, more than one is proportionally less than wise.
Dualism is the measure of loss in the world. Events of dualism are as prisons in time to be released to freedom. For dualism to become liberated it is first necessary that it be understood. Dualism very simply means ‘two’. To any aspirant to wisdom it becomes immediately obvious that there is something wrong here. What is wrong is the contradiction that the word dualism suggests to the universal constant that is the anchoring principle behind all wisdom ‘all is One’ - all is one and never two. All includes everything, nothing is left out.
The universe is made up of energy and we all know that energy and dualism are the same; there must be a positive and a negative for it to work. Two parts, not one. Energy will simply not work on any level if it is not a dual event so, where is One in energy? We know from our intuition that One or wisdom is alive in energy yet we have no tangible way of understanding how it works.
Dualism and energy are the same and wisdom also comes in the package. To say otherwise is to omit the possibility of wisdom in the human experience. We know that we are wise and we recognize that there are different levels to wisdom. So it is fair to say that wisdom lives within dualism.
Dualism or energy in every condition is always positive and negative interaction. The levels of interaction differ greatly to produce all that we call the universe. But still, in every case, the energetic potential in any event is the relative difference between points of reference. It does not matter how much potential one or another point has. It is the relative difference that dictates the level of energetic exchange.
Just as a ball can not help but to roll downhill, all events of dualism tend to equalize or come to a state of balance with all other potentials. What counteracts this is all the stuff we constantly put in the way. We cause more dualism to occur and these obstructions become the realities we have to deal with in our daily lives.
We make it hard for the events of dualism to equalize without effort as is the natural way. We require a more expansive understanding of the true nature of dualism and need to learn what we are doing wrong in blocking our events of dualism from coming home to wisdom.
If events of dualism were not interfered with they would come home naturally to wisdom. But then, if all dualism became One there would be a failure to provide the means for energy to exist. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that in the state of wisdom there is no energy - no life as we experience it.
Maybe as be travel through this landscape of dualism we call life we are required to increase our wisdom by bringing our dual events to balance. Obviously, we all have many dual events going on and it would seem quite impossible to have them all come to balance at once. Maybe this is why we have different levels of wisdom and none of us seem to disappear no matter how wise we become.
If we were completely wise we would have to disappear because there would no longer be any level of dualism to support the energy required for life. We will all agree that it is indeed good to be wise. But to accept that this wisdom is going to make us disappear is disconcerting to say the least.
Conclusion: Giving up dualism to gain wisdom is the process of bringing balance to all the events of dualism called energy that keep us alive. As we lose this energy we gain back our wisdom. This is a dynamic process where the dualism that is energy is exchanged to become the power that is contained within it called Wisdom.
