F.: The Realized have no “mind” by which to think, so no dualistic thoughts such as “good vs. bad” can arise. Functioning from a position of neutrality, the extremes of “good” or “bad” are irrelevant. But such is not the case with persons.
Some persons were conditioned and programmed to believe that they are “bad.” The resulting low self-esteem can make persons aggressive, but more often the result is that persons become easily hurt by criticism; avoid feelings while being trapped in emotions; take blame for everything considered negative; feel helpless; fear failure; try to please others; suffer depression; and can become self-destructive. The result of duality in their case is instability.
On the other hand, there are those who were programmed to believe that they are “really good,” "really special," and “really different” from “others.” Freud used the term "His Majesty the Baby" to describe these types. Others use the term "Queen Baby" or "King Baby" to describe persons with overly-inflated self-esteem and who dualistically believe that they are "very good" and "better than others."

As a result of buying into that dualistic extreme, these babies in adult bodies eventually lose the ability to feel but do react with extreme emotionalism; become addicted to chaos and also suffer instability; become obsessed with the phenomenal existence and its preoccupation with the material; become more trapped than most in dualistic and judgmental thinking; overreact; demand immediate gratification; develop a paranoid "me vs. them" mentality; blame and complain; seek approval; hate criticism; and become impulsive, irritable, aggressive, irresponsible, destructive, harmful, deceitful, and manipulative.
Convinced that their sense of entitlement is legitimate, they can even become criminal when all does not go their way or when they do not get what they want. Such are the tolls of buying into "bad" labels, as with the first group, and buying into "good" labels the way that "His Majesty the Baby" does. Functioning under the influence of such duality, instability and moods swings and chaos are inevitable.
A seminal element of the non-duality understanding is the realization that you are neither “good” nor “bad.” The relative nonsense described above which accompanies the belief that one is “very good” or “very bad” should make clear that such beliefs will prevent happiness, contentment, and any sense of ease from happening with any consistency in the relative existence. And the further persons move from a position of neutrality, the more aggravated will their unhappiness or discontentment or dis-ease become. Meaning?
Meaning persons who think that they are “very bad” will generate more misery than those who think they are “bad”; those who think they are “very good” will generate more misery than those who think that are “good.” And all duality eventually leads to those extremes of duality because the moment any ego-state is assumed, automatically egotism assigns super status to that state.
For example, the moment that one accepts the identity of “The Wife,” that person will very soon become “The Super Wife” and will immediately demand that she have a “Super Husband.” The same is true of the male assuming the false identity of “The Husband” who will take himself (his self) to be “The Super Husband” who deserves nothing less than a “Super Wife.” And both will initially want their roles to last forever while being disappointed time and again that their roles are not consistently and constantly receiving the respect due someone of such high status.
Yet all ego-states are temporary. That alone generates a sense of instability as identities come and go. Frustration also comes with assumption of such ego-states since there is (1) a desire among persons for their false ego-states/false identities to last forever while there is also (2) occasional fear that they might not.
Therein lies the irony of duality and of taking the relative to be real: persons want stability, but the very roles they assume, identify with, and take to be everlasting are actually transitory and short-lived. While longing for continuity, they cling to transient roles and dualistic concepts which are ephemeral, that prevent stability, and that cannot possibly last. That which is real and stable is beyond phenomenal boundaries. As the warped consciousness longs for stability and permanence, it hasn’t a clue that only the Noumenon is stable and permanent.
Nor can the corrupted consciousness understand that the “mind” which is projecting the phenomenal is only imagining that the play of the attributes is real. In error, the "mind" takes the temporary to be permanent without having ever experienced even a glimpse of That which is eternal and stable. Only by discarding all belief in the temporary (including the body, the “mind,” the attributes, and the identities) can the Real be seen and can stability happen for the remainder of the manifestation.
To believe that there is “good vs. bad” or that there is “the phenomenal and the Noumenal” or to believe that “I AM THAT; I AM” has anything to do with “two” is to beg for instability and/or fluctuating moods and/or chaos. That any of your current roles will last even to the end of the manifestation is questionable, but those roles certainly will not last beyond. In the meantime, while they are being played, those roles will generate desires at times and fears at other times that further contribute to instability and/or fluctuating moods and/or chaos as well.
The process to eliminate instability and/or fluctuating moods and/or chaos is, first, to end body identification by finding where you were and what you were in the days prior to conception and, secondly, to be done with the illusions of the “mind” once and for all. (A source that can help relieve you of the “mind” that churns out a steady stream of thoughts which prevents peace during the day as well as sleep at night is available.) Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)
