Transcend the Duality
of Positive and Negative

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Videoconference
with initiates from the Singapore Center, August 11, 2002
(Originally in English) Videotape # 745

Q: Many times we experience so-called good and bad in our reality. Is this actually an illusion, and relative to a certain level of awareness? If so, is it true that so-called good and evil do not actually exist? Do we create them? And if we do, how do we go beyond them?

M: Yes, don't create anymore, and try to look on the world as transient, as a movie, as a videotape. Also, try to concentrate on the Holy Names and on your wisdom eye whenever you can, and remember the teachings of all the Masters instead of looking at the bad or the good of the world.

It's difficult, but with practice you can do it. It's just a habit, and every habit needs a few weeks to change. So if you try to do that for a duration of three weeks you'll be able to break the habit of always noticing the negative or the positive, the duality of human existence. It still exists, but it doesn't matter. Next time try to ignore the good or the bad. That will already be very good. Do it whenever you can, it's not like you can do it a hundred percent of the time.
