What is nested duality? This talk begins to discuss the play of opposites. I talk about the importance of relating in new ways to good and bad. Ultimately this talk is trying to convey the error of nested duality which is when we make the non-dual experience something good.

As we look at good and bad closely, we see we can relate to the concepts in different ways:

• Good and bad can feel like absolutes. Things outside us that we have no control over.


• Good and bad can begin to define one another. Without bad, there is no good.


• Sometimes perceived bad events end up being good events.


• Good and bad can be seen as perceptions of is-ness. We realize that we are much more involved in good and bad than we originally thought.
