I don't know. There are probably many others here that can explain this better. But sometimes duality is explained as separation between subject and object or something like that. There is "two". A seer that sees a thing. One person talking to another person. There is someone who experience something. Or a person and the world out there. Two. Duality.
Non-duality (not two) is when there is no real separation between subject and object, they are the same. Or at least connected. The same consciousness expressed as both the subject and object. That which sees is essentially built up by the same substance/spirit/.... as that which is seen. The seer and the seen is one. Duality and Oneness at the same time. Duality is happening within something greater, some space-like consciousness which is also the substance of the dual "things"... I think :cool: :smile:
Some say that there is no real world outside of ourselves (as consciousness). It is like a mirror, we don't exist separate from the world and the world don't exist separate from us. Some kind of dance between the creator and the created. So, even if we experience something we don't like or hate, that too, is a part of ourselves in some way... or... our neighbour is a part of us. Me and my neighbour as separate objects in a separate world is duality. I personally think that Jesus meant "non-duality" when he said "Love your neighbour as yourself". The law of duality then? I don't know. That it creates problems? :smile:
EDIT:
Error! I have read a little and think what you are asking about is good/bad, cold/warm etc. The two sides of a coin.
