according to taoism, when you talk about oneness you talk about oneness. When you talk about duality you talk about the fact there are two things, with a fence between them. Then when you start focussing on the fence you are looking at the third thing, and now you have a trinity. From there you start cascading one thing on another and then there are a myriad of things which all seem separate. But what you don't get is the separatness is merely an illusion of the mind, where you've starting making random slices in the pie so that instead of considering it as a whole pie, you only consider the pieces and how they should be divied up.

I love this thread. There's very simple instructions regarding the trinity taught in practice that create amazing results by taking that Middle Way.
I think it's also important to note that duality doesn't go away as some people think, it's always still there except there's also this whole other thing that isn't it at the same time lol...
