You can reach your goal (success/wisdom/enlightenment) by stepping only on white squares or on black squares or both. The novices get trapped/enamored with duality, the masters rise above this duality and use whatever means necessary to achieve their goal.
Quoting: dhurs 11793348 ^this ...and realize that all three paths mentioned above are illusory.
black- white - and the path of the manipulation of both.
all are insane.
Soloman said it best. Everything under the sun is vanity. EVERYTHING. ..It's ALL VANITY because it is SELF-MADE FICTION.
either you can be bounced around and tricked into either the black (evil) or white ('good') OR you can 'rise above' both and manipulate them ....ALL VANITY...
OR the only true path...the very very narrow path that few find...
the realization that black and white are illusions and to let go of attachment to both...
sorry to say...it's the ONLY way to find peace of mind.
CONTROLLING DUALITY IS THE SAME AS BEING CONTROLLED BY DUALITY. Hence the demigods....the controllers in time...they have no peace.
