The 3 Levels of Paradox
Paradox is perceived differently depending on the level of awareness.
1) Contradictory Paradox (IE: Contradictions): The 'person' is a contradiction that 'operates' on a single level of
perception. Thus, to the separate 'person' a contradiction is a
dilemma that can not be resolved with logic... so it's an unsolvable
dilemma... leaving the 'person' in a state of limbo... unable to come to
any lasting resolution of the dilemma. Thus forward progress is
stalled... hung up on the horns of dilemma itself.
2) Simultaneous Paradox: The individual is a 'paradox'. Thus to the individual whose impersonal being
overshadows the personal self, paradoxical dilemmas are 'understood'... because so
called 'dilemmas' are resolved by understanding both sides
of the primary dilemma... IE: the 'impersonal-personal' dilemma. The individual is now co-existing in both the 'impersonal' and 'personal' worlds simultaneously, which is
a dilemma - just not in the mind - as it's seen now as a 'workable', 'understandable situation', instead of being a perplexing dilemma.
All dilemmas are now 'understandable' because, from the view of impersonal being, so called 'dilemmas' are no longer a source of 'conflict' in the seekers mind... because the personal is now in its proper 'place' in relation to being... because being puts the 'personal' in proper perspective. So 'separation' is no longer a 'dilemma' now because impersonal being has its own meaning that overshadows the limited meaning of the 'person'. Thus everything makes sense at the level of 'understanding'... that's how you know you 'understand'.

All
dilemmas in this world are a distraction from the primary dilemma... so
they keep the world in a perpetual state of conflict.
3) Non-existent Paradox: At the level of the non-local Enlightened 'One Individual'... the one who perceives is both sides of the paradox. Thus no paradox... no problem.
------------------------------
So the progression is from 'perpetual' dilemma... to 'understandable' paradox... to 'no problems'.
