Where does a dualism go? The suspicion always seems to be that dualism as a manager of balance doesn't go anywhere. It remains as a state of tension that gives you your chance to introduce the word dynamic which is a central yet rather ill-defined and for some reason much admired feature of anything that goes to the Department of Propaganda under the general title of a 'A system.'
An example from the medical profession might be : "How are your bowels?" "My bowels aren't as dynamic as I wish them to be!" Follow on questions could well mark a distinction between good hearted hedonism and the dour 'woe is me' of stoics, to either of which responses should be "Drink more water, eat your vegetables, invest in an inexpensive Polish Sausage that's on sale and take a walk now and then."
Anything dualism, dualistic, or whatever happens when opposites symbiotically combine and produce explanatory symbols, Cognitive Psychologists see mental representations of the internal world. They get excited, they see the building blocks, the patterns and shapes of what's actually going on in the mind and they can come away with sense making ideas that might have some basis in an old fashioned training of our capacity to comprehend a world of fact. To be clear about these shapes and patterns, they are representations of the invisibly tiny, they are projected, cast onto a surface to give them visibility.
Be brave, imagine the vastness of the reality being explored, absorb the errors. Of course that might mean accepting a level of insignificance that doesn't come easy to the "what about me" of a dynamic community that fills the diploma lined offices of the Analytical Psychologist Industry which feeds on the host of incurable dualities by offering relief from the Human Condition.
