Yes! We are able to see the other viewpoints. People are complex and nobody can be really pigeonholed into any one category. You really cannot cling to a political ideology either. You see the good and bad in both and in yourself as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34306127.post-65291406056350872612015-12-14T07:38:13.167-08:002015-12-14T07:38:13.167-08:00If taking the middle road means doing all I can to...If taking the middle road means doing all I can to compromise to reach an agreement that respects all opinions, I am all for it. I have to say that I draw the line when it comes to good and evil. There is without doubt evil in this world. I cannot meet evil and offer it respect. I have to take the side of good, which is love. That is why we are told to love our enemies and want the best for them, yer we reject their evil acts. I want to be non dualistic in my thinking, yet I still see good and evil on two sides.<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139663010787601578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34306127.post-66828061920594445282015-11-27T18:57:44.119-08:002015-11-27T18:57:44.119-08:00People to be secure and be centered, you need a st...People to be secure and be centered, you need a starting place, why not nondaulistic, open minded, see things with a new eye, new perspective. You come to see that the openness lets you walk through everyday life a little easier, less burdenned, it is worth a try. Gives you time to think and see and enjoy, life.

I think it is because the Bible talks about believers/unbelievers...wheat/tare...you're with us or against us/...biblical language seems to clearly be dualistic. But at these types of churches people have felt cold, cerebral, rigid and unloving....I'm trying to figure out where I stand..non-dualistic is really appealing to me and I've personally found it so helpful as I grow slowly spiritually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34306127.post-31253025754621147042014-05-25T21:46:55.071-07:002014-05-25T21:46:55.071-07:00Thanks, Ric.

I prefer "we begin from here". That may not make finding the middle path any easier, but it a determination to move forward with the effort.richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633074062012792147noreply@blogger.com
