As long as there is knowledge, there is always the "possibility" of a dualism. That is why Plotinus long ago decided that knowledge was excluded from the One. Your statements suggest some affinity to monistic views.

No, I am firmly commited to dualism until someone can explain how the thought becomes action. Once the nerves are fired up there is no problem, but how does the thought activate the nerves? Parallelism seems to be another word for dualism.
