That’s all well and good but you still didn’t address the fundamental flaw in your thinking. You’re a dualist.I doubt that you will listen to me...
And anyway it is not the place...
But i will explain it all in a nugget that contain like an egg the last 2 thousand years history of european civilization....
A duality is an external relation between 2 concepts or objects created by the nature of language in his external relation to perception and thinking...
All the greek philosophy is the history of a gradual distantiation from the participation to the cosmos to an external relation with the cosmos which is the "modern reason"... We can detail this history from Parmenides logic to Aristotle logic and from Aristotle logic to Stoic school logic.... The original "logos" is a polarity not a duality...
In a polarity the relation is internal not external...
I cannot go further but i will give to you a video about the mandelbrot set to have an example of what his a polarity in abstract term... A duality is static, a polarity is a dynamic phenomenon... A duality oppose two realities, a polarity compose what SEEMS 2 realities and reveal their absolute unity....lIke in the mandelbrot set geometry...

Goethe is concrete but i cannot resume goethean studies here...
I suggest "the metamorphosis of plant"...
