I agree, when that level of dualism is proposed that we have a problem. We shouldn't view one as intrinsically evil to be escaped, and the other as intrinsically good to be escaped to. We should rather have the perspective of living from the one  perspective into the other. Just as God reached from heaven into creation and from the holy into the profane in the incarnation, we should seek to be Christ-like in the same way. We should seek to be the holy and the eternal impacting the material and the profane toward that goal. There is a dichotomy because there is a holy and a profane and God demands holiness. There is an eternal and a temporal and we are told to store up treasures in heaven where moths and rust do not destory. The problem is when we seek to escape the one rather than impact it for God.
