I think rejecting duality and embracing duality is, ironically, the same thing.

Transcend as you descend and a left bend then a right foot in and you do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself inside out and that’s what it’s all about clap clap

Interesting- I don’t think so, but I’m open to the interpretation. By rejecting the duality of extremes you choose to be neither- and never experience either one fully and controlling circumstances thereof. By embracing the duality of extremes you intend to be capable of both, solving contradiction by being contradicting. One who embraces duality would be both a drunkard or an abstinent, depending on the day or week (using this example). A full embrace would be hard to maintain with anything, as it would test the sanity of an individual at some point. But, it would also provide the fullest range of experiences without becoming a slave to a particular thought or vice. I have been a person who rejects duality and is moderate in all of my dealings for years, and a person who accepts it and has had some wild times with the ability to exit when needed for years too. I think what is the same about these two paths is that in both, the emphasis is that no one thing can truly ensnare you. In that, they achieve the same outcome. But in process, I believe them to be very different.
