Ep. 29 – Philosophy of the Tao

Alan Watts Being in the Way

NOTE

Unity in Duality

Things in life are like an on and off switch, where the fast pace of switching makes you focus on the 'on' only. The concept of on and off creates a unity, like the two poles of a magnet, inseparable yet different. The pattern of vibration in life is like a wave, with the crest representing 'on' and the trough as 'off'. Understanding this unity in duality prevents fear that 'off' may win and leads to the realization that 'on' and 'off' are part of the same unity, ensuring that 'on' eventually prevails and any challenges are just temporary appearances.
