11. THE TRUTH: We all
have multiple
personalities. That’s the
normal. Personality Tests
only prove that we prefer
one personality over the
others most of the time.
Unfortunately, they make
us believe that multiple
personalities is abnormal

12.  Introvert and Extrovert

15.  Soul  Body
 Spiritual  Corporeal
 Objectivity  Subjectivity
 Free Will  Determinism
 Good  Evil
 Reason  Intuition
 Male  Female
Laertis 15

16.  Man/Male and Woman/Female are
basically the same thing. The differences
between them are just for reproduction
purposes only. But nature has shown us
that reproduction can happen without
the Male-Female distinctions. In other
words, Male-Female is just a descriptor
for certain species, not a universal
condition.

17. Is there a universal
definition of these:
• Beauty
• Justice
• Success
• Love
• Marriage
• God
• Happiness
• Leisure
• Life

20.  Realistic  Idealistic
 Practical  Theoretical
 Capitalist  Communist
 Monarchy  Democracy
 Centralized  Decentralized
 Freedom Fighter  Terrorist
 Conservative  Liberal
 Logical  Emotional
 Dogmatic Laertis  Flexible 20

21.  The tension between opposites is reflected in
the human brain, which is divided into right
and left hemispheres that mirror that same
dual structure, a state called brain
lateralization. The two hemispheres are
generally unbalanced to varying degrees.
The greater the lateralization in the brain, the
greater the feelings of separation. The greater
the feelings of separation, the greater the
presence of fear, stress, anxiety, and isolation
Laertis 21

22.  We know that when one practices Tai Chi,
s/he forces brain synchronization that
increases personal resilience and balance.
That, in turn, allows the person to deal more
clearly, more calmly, and more resourcefully
with whatever confronts her/him. Tai Chi (a
form of moving meditation) encourages
peaceful internal feelings while projecting a
happier and brighter outlook about life

24.  Reality itself is full of paradoxes --- that go well
beyond duality
 Reality is so dependent on our brains, senses,
and feelings
 It is so easily manipulated
 It is so easily misinterpreted
 It is so easily misunderstood
 … and today is basically Human & Earth based
 At some level everything makes sense
and nothing makes sense

very nature is a paradox

41.  There is right and wrong
 There is moral or ethical law
 There is good and bad behavior
 There is good and bad/evil
 There are things, people, behaviors and
actions that are acceptable and unacceptable
 There is a dichotomy Because we need
all of these to
survive and co-
exist
Laertis 41

42.  If you believe in God, then there is God
 If you don’t believe in God , there isn’t one
 If you believe in an invisible world, then there
is one
 If you don’t then there is no such thing
 If you believe in duality, then you will find it
everywhere
 If you don’t believe in duality, then it disappears
Laertis 42

43.  In other words, everything is and it isn’t
 Everything exists and it doesn’t
 Everything is right and it is not
 Everything is acceptable and it is also
unacceptable
 Everything is OK and nothing is OK
 Everything has a start and an end and there is
no such thing as a start or an end
 We are all One and yet we are all individuals
Laertis 43

44.  Well, there is no explanation. It is the same
thing as The Double Slit Experiment
