We survey our perceptual horizon and categorise everything that appears on it as: proving our existence in terms of duality; disproving our existence in terms of duality; or as some vague neutrality, which presents no opportunity for manipulation either way. All our attempts to establish security fail. Our efforts fail because they are based on maintaining the illusion of duality.
There is no way that we can establish the security we’re looking for as long as we operate from the principle that duality actually functions. In this sense, enlightenment is the continual realisation that duality is not functional.
