duality can be dismissed through disciplined meditation and years of commitment.
Quoting: Amicmical 18184271 Dismissed? How?
You appear to have missed the Revelations in
Genesis. The consciousness of the "self" and the consciousness of the 'thinker' were
not Created by God. On the contrary, they are the dualistic consciousness of "illusion" and "maya", or "the Fall"; the consciousness of the "self" being self-created by the 'movement' of self-reflection; the consciousness of the 'thinker' being self-created by the postulation of the thought of the 'thinker'.
The consciousness Created 'by and in the image of God' (
Genesis 1:27) is a non-dualistic consciousness ("Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.")
The "self" is symbolized in
Genesis 3 as the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil", and in the
Revelation of John as the "beast of the sea". The "Tree of Life", on the other hand, is a symbol for the Vision of the "Son of man" (or the "Night Journey" of Mohammed); and, thus, represents the consciousness Created by God. It is guarded by the flame of a flashing sword.
Man, as he exists today, has 3 dimensions of consciousness: the consciousness Created by God and the two self-created dimensions of consciousness resulting from "the Fall".

to answer:
all of what you described is pertinent, but...
the dual ego, of good and evil is NOT of God, but of he who introduced it in the Fall.
It was our choice to accept it and it has always been our choice to opt out.
This is the truth of the matter:
as far as 'doing it'. Meditation is the only way. In meditation a person comes to understand:
your thoughts are not yours.
you have perfect control over 'that which is not you'.
the mind you are now using is a separate life form with it's own motivations which are an attack on your daily life.
the mind you now use was created to give man 'adversity' in order to accelerate evolution.
the current mind will be nearly eradicated in the beginning of the turn of the next age (the millenium). Due to this , peace will be the result. The current mind will be completely removed from man at the end of the millenium at which time it will have served it's purpose.
at this current time, many humans are challenging the current 'government' on many levels.
The level that applies here is the governor of the mind, they see it as dysfunctional and are discarding it....they are a little ahead of their time...the time of the millenium
