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?

changing ones point of view is almost impossible. The moral laws we use to measure life and actions by ARE our good and evil. They are different for many people, but they still are true.

Every single person measures life by his own moral code. There is no way to bypass that. It wil always be so, the code could change, but the measuring remanis.

wisdom, can be said to be the quality of possesing a moral code that agrees with the majority. that the majority of people consider your actions to be moraly wise. Like a character like gandalf from a movie appears to be wise, becouse his moral actions agree to yours and many peoples moral code.

but, In the end, mediocracy has a good point, all this is mental mastrubation.

We view life trough our senses, thus we get an image interpreted by the senses and view this image as the truth, as reality. However, what we percieve as reality may not be reality at all, our senses have their flaws and limits, they can be tricked.
Since the normal man has no other way to percieve the world, the only option is to view this perception as the one and only true reality.
Morality can be seen as an extra sense, since we measure our interpreted and already limited view of the world against a set of moral codes that may be incorrect. What we end up with is a double lie. However, since this view is our only possible view, and since we are lacking any other tools to measure things by, we can only assume and hope our measuring was correct.
In the end our personal reality becomes detached from the true world, it is experienced internally. And in our own mind these moral codes are all about truth, they ARE our true flawed reality. The only one we can live.

A mage or wizard should try to measure life with other senses. He should seek new and higher truths. In that way he should be prepared to release his moral codes. He should not become attached to them, becouse if he clings to them he will only bring suffering upon himself.

So yes, for the laymen, all this is mental mastrubation, but for the mage or wizard this is useful and true information that should be considered.

It is useful becouse life would be impossible without it. Without a moral code you cannot do anything, becouse you cannot make complex choises, you cannot decide on anything.
