Balance

From The Naked Now by Richard Rohr on nonduality in a dualistic world…

You cannot bypass the necessary tension of holding contraries and inconsistencies together…Everything created is mortal and limited and, and if you look long enough, always paradoxical….it is a holding of a real tension, and not necessarily a balancing act, a closure, or any full resolution.  It is agreeing to live without resolution, at least for a while….
 Dualistic people use knowledge, even religious knowledge, for the purposes of ego enhancement, shaming, and the control of others and themselves, for it works very well in that way.  Nondual people use knowledge for the transformation of persons and structures, but most especially to change themselves and to see reality with a new eye and heart.
