"in the Indo-European languages, as Darmsteter has pointed out, the root meaning "two" should connote badness. The Greek Prefix dys- and the Latin dis- are both derived from "duo." The cognate bis- gives pejorative sense to such modern French words as bevue ("blunder, literally " two-sight)...Zweifel- for to doubt is to be double-minded ["Behold but One in all things; it is the second that leads you astray" - Kabir]"

"the cult of unity on the political level is only an idolatrous ersatz for the genuine religion of unity on the personal and spitirual levels. .. political monism...Only the pure in heart and poor in spirit (?) can come to the unitive knowledge of God. Hence, the attempt to impose more unity upon societies than their individual members are ready for makes it psychologically almost impossible for those individuals to realize their unity with the divine Ground and with one another."
_The Perennial Philosophy_ , Aldous Huxley
