Dialectic Deduction, (or the metaphysical dynamic)

This argument is central to my philosophical thesis, but I have avoided writing it as I am still trying to figure out the fundamentals. What I have so far, it is the notion that experience is both mind and matter, that it is impossible to use induction to achieve knowledge of the whole. All our beliefs that come from experience are a merger of body and mind. However the starting point of understanding should be with the universal, for me the universal is also a duality, but they are separate. Pure mind and pure matter cannot be experienced by the human mind, they are purely speculative, this is where we need to start our principles of reason, from God and the Void. We can start by giving them opposing properties, God is creative and the Void is destructive, the Void is dividing and God is unifying. For me, it comes down to opposing causes and opposing powers, but i am still working on what I mean by opposing powers.
It was in hospital, during a major psychotic episode that I discovered my duality, I was trying to discover the nature of a perfect deduction. I realized that there is both 'many to one', and 'one to many', there had to be two sides to the deduction, I had been thinking of something similar but then it really shone on me. Many to one, is quite a simple object of freedom, you start with many options and then you choose one. The, one to many, was a tougher concept and I'm still working on it, the notion I am thinking about is that physically we are all made from the same material. Sub-atomic structures are one thing that makes the many, going from one to many. How I turn these notions into power I don't know, but I think freedom and necessity are important, they have always been in the middle of my thinking.
In Kant's 'transcendental dialectic' there is one that stands out for me, are we created by something simple or something complex? I believe knowing why we are as we are is an extremely complex process, but once a theory has been established then it become simple. My theory starts with God and the Void but the aim of the reason is to discover yourself in the eternal. To go from the most universal to finding where you belong and to what you belong. We start with just God and the Void, the next step is to question, what effect does mind have on matter and matter on to mind? Once there is knowledge of the opposing effects then you look at what there is inside your own consciousness. What does God feel like to you? How effective are your beliefs about such and such? All these questions will now have a mode for answering, because the understanding has a grip on the opposing powers of creation and destruction. Once there is a clear line between the universal and the individual, judgement of value will have a scientific precision.
