False Dichotomies

False Dichotomies...who are they? Where are they going? What do they have to do with me? Since my mother introduced the concept to me, they haunt, they haunt, they haunt.

Essentialism and Materialism? False Dichotomy?

Individualism and Collectivism?

Abstract and Concrete?

Morality and Aesthetics?

Mind/Heart?

Country/Western?

Do you have some answers, oh internet? And don't give me that Derrida shit.

What is not grasped is not perceived, and what is not perceived is neither presumed nor repudiated. Thus, the inaction and noninvolvement of all things is the entrance into non-duality.

(from Vimalakirti Sutra, in a helpful cyber-version at http://thezenfrog.wordpress.com/2007/07/06/vimalakirti-sutra-and-zen-the-dharma-door-of-non-duality/)
