David Hawkin's writings helped me to understand this concept. The "fallacy" is duality. There is only a continuum. Light......absence of light. Darkness does not truly exist as an entity of itself, an object, a reality.....it is only an absence of light. He uses an analogy of electrity and a light bulb. When the switch is flipped so there is no electricity, there is an absence of light. Ergo, we call it "darkness", when really it is just an absence of light. The construct of "darkness" as a separate object, is a manmade illusion/concept. Also, he says (my summary), that cold exists only as an absence of heat. It does not exist as an entity by itself (duality).
The difficulty for me is trying to use this concept in everyday life. Perhaps we are necessarily trapped in using duality just by being in concrete existence. Trying to remember the unity and divinity in people, and knowing all else as "unreal, false" allows us to see errors, threats, etc. in a nonjudgmental way (good/bad, etc).
Yet there is still the problem of how to react to "threats" , real and perceived, to our safety, at least in this existence (ego threats i.e. insults, provocations, abuse, are potentators of safety threats).
Also, the use of flip sided coins analogy, necessitating an "other" side, may be of a different category than the discussion of "reality". Coins are of this world.
These thoughts are predicated on the knowing that Reality is the God/Spirit.
