Dualistic thinking Options

Dualistic thinking is very relevant to people following spiritual paths of any kind, since it involves believers who claim to see and experience another existence and others who having not experienced anything they would describe as other-worldy, disregard these claims and it therefore divides people into two camps.

The language used is also a form of dualism as it separates entities into good and bad and places into discrete areas thus: Heaven and Hell.

Is dualistic thinking useful and a good way of hanging ideas on hooks for further exploration or does it lead to extremes of thought that lack balance and settle people into positions that are hard to find their way out of?

Your posts are littered with dualistic thought while simultaneously saying you do not practice it.

Actually, you're falling for a fallacy of equivocation.

When he refers to "dualistic thought", he is not refering to each and every dichotomy - he's referring to the good/evil dichotomy.

I will have to see if that is indeed what it is but I could have sworn that this thread was entitled DUALISTIC THINKING rather than GOOD vs. EVIL.

If so, thanks for the tip Zahaqiel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I'll know that from now on Topic titles don't have anything to do with the Topic itself.
