The moderate cosmology and theology that describes the nature of reality is both monist and dualist at the same time.
On one hand, the monist hand, all dual parts/aspects (God versus the Devil, for example) are embodied within the totality of the One (Fate).
On the other hand, the dualist hand, the world is dual in contrary and contradictory ways. God and De's followers, and the adjacent domains that they rule, are separate and distinct from Satan and Sa's followers, and all their accompanying, conquered territories.
Both these good and evil deities do exist, and they are different substances (at least spiritually, and perhaps physically too) from each other. Still their spiritual and physical properties are interchangeable and mutually convertible if the will of the ghost in the particular machine chooses to become evil, abandoning goodness, or vice versa.
The world is Monist and Dualist at the same time. Our task here on earth is to fight Stan's cause--the spread of hatred, extremism, passion, slavery, selflessness and misery--while working to further God's cause--the expansion of the holy domain that is based in temperateness, individualism, love, reason and happiness and freedom.
