Balancing the Scales

Frank Billman | 2.17.19 In talking about contemplative spirituality, the term dualism or dualistic thinking comes up quite a bit. What does that exactly mean? And more importantly, if the goal in contemplative life is to lose our natural dualistic tendencies, to become more unitive in our consciousness, what does that look like in everyday life? What are the mental gymnastics that need to be embraced before we could ever put such non-dualistic experience into play? Pastor Frank explores this with real world examples and some of the intellectual paradoxes that need to be faced in order to pursue the kind of spirituality that Jesus, in an ancient Hebrew context, found so natural.
