Not opposite, no, and this is where the whole idea of Duality falls over. Duality means complimentary or a dichotomy. As Descartes described it, Duality is dual aspect of the same thing - which is what's happening here. Everything you see is an aspect of Brahman. We have the Absolute aspect of our being and the temporal/perception aspect and they both have their reasons for existence. The perceptual changes often from moment-to-moment so that gives the self a consciousness of change, difference, etc. If you didn't have a perceptual reality you wouldn't be able to function in this 3D reality at all. The whole being is more than the sum of its parts - another discussion entirely - and without the 'human stuff' your being would be diminished.

Absolute reality is unchanging and static, perceptual reality is changing as in you growing old, watching the days go by - evolving Spirituality....
