I can understand why you believe in duality. It is a rational deduction about one's environment, a result of the same reasoning capacity that made humans so successful. But it becomes necessary to ask about the fundamental reason for this perspective when trying to fully understand the nature of nature. And the answer is wonderfully simple. In the process of developing conscious awareness, an individual must form memory about its surroundings. The placement of an observer within a multi dimensional system creates these dualities of which you speak. It is a function of relativity (not in the cosmological sense). There are things above and below, etc. But without your perspective there is no discernment; there is only a whole system. You might think of yourself as the point of origin in a graph. After enough memory is recorded, within the context of how things relate to yourself, you basically form a mental picture of yourself within this relative system. Because of our subsequent imaginative abilities (part of reason and rationality) we can then create an imaginative point of view outside of ourselves. Once we do that, the relative reality we experience becomes objective.
