A doctrine that says, i.e. monism, that reality consists of a single basic substance or element. It is that which speaks toward a singular energy. Dualistic is the doctrine of duality such as hot and cold, hard and soft, etc. When coupled this explains that the great tai chi, the one, created by singular energies the duality of yin-yang that has grown evolutionarily represented by the I Ching, i.e. the trigrams and hexagrams, etc.
Dualistic Monism governs all life in the universe. It is not cut and dry as hot vs. cold. It does comprise "change" that vacillates from extremes such as hot and cold. There is never a stationary yin or yang for change has its own dynamic that causes things to shift from one to the other through the processes of yin-yang.
The martial arts also receives its direction from dualistic monism. It is a singular practice that creates equilibrium of the body-mind. It is governing the body-mind to create a steady ebb and flow that is controlled to some extent through a physical-mental practice that is repetitive and fluid. There is no conflict between the extremes but a coexistence or symbiotic relation where they remain a distinct energy but work symbiotically to create either good or evil and all the stages or levels between.
My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
