A basic problem when trying to come to terms with duality and dichotomy is pointed at in the following statement:
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can be divided into two kinds of people and those who can't.
A specific dichotomy can be collapsed, reconciled, or understood as a unity, but only from the perspective of some other duality.
Even talk about "nonduality" is talk about negating something, and negation is merely one side of a duality captured in, for examples, 'yes or no' or 'on or off'. Put differently, "nonduality" can only make sense if there is "duality" for it to be contrasted to, and so, we see two polarities manifest a paradox.
Paradox is the generator of experience.
