Non-dualism training for the advanced practitioner of the Zen Dark Arts: Book II

  1. Splitting any of the myriad things into concepts regarding 'good' and 'bad' is dualism.
  2. Saying or even thinking of the term 'dualism' is dualism. Stop it. Okay, stop it now...
  3. Choosing between ice cream flavors is dualism. Never eat Neapolitan ice cream unless you are an adept in the art of tripleism.
  4. To appear especially esoteric and wise, never appear to pick or chose anything.
  5. If someone picks or chooses anything in your presence, say "that's dualism" and retreat back into the shadows.
  6. If someone calls you out on your own dualism, say "that is dualism" to form a protective magic shield.
  7. There is really no such thing as dualism, unless you pick one side of things. Wait, what?
  8. The easiest way around dualism is to practice tripleism; adding a third option was even beyond the abilities of the Zen masters.
  9. If you choose to read a book, that's dualism because you could have chosen not to read it.
  10. Dualism is neither good nor bad. It is simply dualism.
