Dualism, contradictions, opposites and paradoxes Options

At the forefront of our reality, we experience things dualistically. White and black, hot and cold, up and down, you and me. Many philosophers will contest that this dualism is an illusion, and that the paradoxical nature of the world, is actually the truth. Can something truly exist without its opposite? Does that entail, if so, that what seems to be opposed are actually components of the same thing? Does separateness really exist, and weather it does or not, should we think dualistically?

Philosophers of the board, please share your opinion.

I am a strong believer of Dualism, with no dark no light etc... with no light no dark. Feminine and masculine as one trait, all in one energy. Religion detests dualism for their personal benefits, the solitary believer or (philosopher) can be a dualist or not, but to understand beyond ourselves, essentially, is what dualism assists.

I believe Dualism is essential and provides us with life, we are of both extremes in one, yin-yang itself.
