Dive into the constant interaction of opposites in the duality flow and feel complete regardless of what and where you appear.

There is no other meaning than the interaction of opposites in a world of duality
When you first enter the duality flow, it may feel like you have vertigo. Constantly moving between opposites, you have no definitive reaction that can determine what to do. But you never had. It was something you made up to feel in control. When not doing that anymore, where the duality flow takes you feels good.

Getting into the duality flow is difficult if you consider yourself spiritual and detached from duality because it is based on eliminating the thoughts and feelings preventing you from achieving a singular state of mind. Hence, you refrain from twofoldness to uphold your image of detachment.

Unconsciously, you are always in the duality flow because no matter where you look, your eyes do not settle before they have found the highest contrast so that they can rest in the flow of opposites. Just look at the images in this hack to see that your eyes do not seek balance but the energising flow between the most contrasting elements.
Free from the limitation of single-minded opinions
Suppose you know that any singular opinion or feeling is illogical in a world of duality. In that case, labelling the opposing elements in the duality pairs you encounter is not essential. Therefore, when you judge something as dangerous and see it is complemented by harmless, you do not dwell upon the opposing elements in the duality pair but their interaction – like it is neither up nor down, but the interaction between those opposites that brings about the thrill of playing yo-yo.

Singularity is an illusion in a world of duality. But also in non-duality because it takes more than one to be singular.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
If you perceive your reaction to everything as ‘it is what it is,’ you do not need to fence off seeing yourself as a monster by accusing others of evil because that perception reveals an angel complements the beast.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Nothing disappears in the duality flow. For example, if you feel wrong, you continue doing that. However, the feeling is not alone in the duality flow. It is in a relationship with feeling right. Hence, you feel free from the confinement of single-minded opinions.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
You are never bothered by something. What upsets you is your singular reaction to it. Thankfully, nothing specific bothers you when your response is twofold.
If you do not feel kind, you suppress your violence
The constant interaction of opposites in the duality flow makes it equally entertaining to be somebody as nobody.

The brain generates ongoing internal communication with conflicting opinions to uphold its fantasy of duality. However, that is very disturbing if you want to be someone definitive with distinct views. Therefore, some try to silence the inner dialogue via meditation, others by keeping themselves so busy that they seem to be above it, or they talk so much externally that the internal conversation seems drowned out.
But they deceive themselves. It takes two to meditate, be busy or talk with others, so they do not establish themselves as singular but dual. If they instead accept twofoldness, they are in the duality flow with constant interaction of opposites. Hence, their headspace is at peace since the brain does not need to generate ongoing internal communication with conflicting opinions to establish duality.

Violence collaborates with kindness to outline each other in the duality flow. Therefore, if you do not feel kind, you suppress your violence. However, not fending off your violence, you can perceive it as ‘it is what it is’ and, thus, sense the kindness inside it.
Before the duality flow, you probably had a particular mood you recalled when you wanted a sense of happiness. However, in the duality flow, pleasure does not come from something specific, such as a particular place, but from having a two-fold reaction to it. Therefore, since you are in the constant interaction of opposites, you do not need to go somewhere specific to feel happy. [Photo: Alexius]
‘It is what it is’ reveals the interaction of opposites
In the duality flow, you cannot recall the specific mood you previously conjured to feel good because it is not dual. However, going with the duality flow, you have not lost but gained something. Although unaware, your favourite mood has always interacted with its complementary part. Thankfully, you see that when not suppressing the constant interaction of opposites.

Society favours planning, controlling, and manipulation to get more money, power, friends, or love, for example. But since it is based on excluding poverty, weakness, enemies, and hate, you never feel fulfilled. In contrast, going with the duality flow makes you feel complete.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
You cannot understand twofoldness because understanding is singular. Fortunately, you do not need to understand anything when you follow the constant interaction of opposites because every experience organically presents itself as dual.
Since dualism is a fantasy, a world of duality is not physical but mental. Therefore, it is a mental experience to be someone in a material world. That is obvious in the duality flow because it is not specific but abstract. Thus, going with the duality flow, you come to non-duality. [Photo: Alexius]
The interaction of opposites feels like a cosmic cradle
Initially, Alexius was mostly into connecting with the empty breath and having glimpses of the Enlightenment of that which is One because he likes the time out of duality that it entails. But nowadays, he also enjoys the duality flow, thus feeling good in a world of duality while hacking it.

When you are in the duality flow, light feelings complement dark ones. Hence, there is light in the darkness and vice versa. If you have not realised that, you will fear entering a black hole and fall into that which is One.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
The duality flow sets you free because it is the foundation of duality. Hence, you feel like you are in a cosmic cradle with everything and everybody.
Ways to the duality flow
To get into the duality flow, you do not use the perception ‘it is what it is’ on something you see but on your reaction to it. See Duality Hack #8.4.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Suppose you stand by your reaction to Alexius’ Duality Hacks. In that case, you can perceive the definitive meaning you have assigned to your response as ‘it is what it is.’ Hence, since you see that your opinion is not singular but twofold, you do not feel alone but together.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
If you do not deny that your singular reaction to something is hatred, you can perceive it as ‘it is what it is.’ Then your hate opens up and reveals there is love inside. Next, love reveals it has hate inside it. Like that, love and hate keep interacting to define each other. This interplay of opposites is the duality flow. Joining it, you are not bothered by specific thoughts and feelings.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
You enter the duality flow by perceiving your emotions as twofold. However, most people disassociate themselves from their feelings. Yet, everyone seems to be in touch with their grievances. So, if you have judged someone as wrong, you perceive your condemnation as ‘it is what it is.’ Thus, witnessing condemnation interacts with approval, you get into the duality flow, feeling free to everything.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
In a relationship, you can interact between your needs and the other’s. Hence, you are not limited to being someone specific, thus in the duality flow
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
The psychological sphere is so airy that if you face your reaction to something there, you see any singular thought or emotion contains its counterpart and constantly interacts. Therefore, since there is no specific thought or feeling to establish a definitive problem, you are carefree, hence in the duality flow.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Perceiving something from the past or in the present as ‘it is what it is’ is probably the most straightforward way to join the duality flow. That perception is so relaxing that joining it is effortless.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
When you do not look for something, you are in the duality flow on the way to non-duality. However, it does not mean you will experience everything becoming one. Instead, experiences fade out until no experience hides that which cannot be experienced, namely, that which is one.
Another way to the duality flow
Alexius’ Duality Hacks recommends standing by your singular feelings so you can perceive them as ‘it is what it is’ and thus recognise them as twofold. Such a psychological approach is typical of the Western world where Alexius grew up. But suppose you are from a culture with less emphasis on feelings and psychological matters. In that case, your way to feeling relieved by the duality flow may not be by facing your emotions, but by joining the interaction of form and space.
For example, suppose you feel stuck by a specific construct. In that case, you acknowledge it so you can perceive the form as ‘it is what it is,’ thus feeling free because that reveals form constantly interacts with space. The same applies whether the form is judged troublesome or loving.
Western people can use this approach when their emotions seem hidden but somehow substantial. Perceiving the form as ‘it is what it is’ reveals it interacts with space, which may be experienced as abstractions of light. Joining this interplay, you feel free in the duality flow. Of course, it does not solve financial problems, but it makes it more manageable to handle them. It also makes it easier for the brain to utilise the biological system to heal the body.
All experiences are fake
You can only experience non-duality in a world with more than one because it takes more than one to be aware of something. But as there is no more than one in non-duality, it is formless, thus endless. Therefore, since there is nothing other than that which is One, the experience of non-duality is an illusion, and so is any other experience, including the duality flow.
However, unlike the imaginary experience of non-duality, the duality flow is not misleading. It stands by being as virtual as everything in a computer game. But just as following a game’s setup makes it enjoyable, so does following the constant interaction of opposites in the duality game.
Furthermore, you do not perceive that your different experiences make a difference in the duality flow. So, since the apparent discrepancies of duality eventually get blurred, they make no sense. Consequently, you no longer experience something, thus in non-duality, where you always have been and will be.
