I post silly cats sometimes
@sathariel I havent read the daodejing yet, but I can safely say they have differences. like, tao in ways is more akin to cosmic order, or rita in hinduism, a very old vedic concept. Brahman is God but its also Absolute Reality, the source and substratum of all existence. i could go on about Brahman and the panentheist monist God, maybe I should post my hymn in progress for those curious but its not ready yet...

@sathariel that was my old position, that the universe couldnt be called real nor unreal because those are human categories without real meaning. but Brahman/the Supreme Being is real which is why its called sat/satyam, and since everything is Brahman, everything is real, even maya is a real thing with the purpose to meant to variate, limit, and obscure the ultimate truth which is Brahman.
however, I still consider evil to be unreal in a fundamental way, because its asat (although Brahman is also both sat and asat, this refers to existence and nonexistence/being and non-being, not evil, though Brahman is also above dharma and adharma) and I can't explain this dissonance yet. perhaps God will help me.

seems to me like shaktadvaitavada is like kashmir shaivism in it regards the universe as real unlike advaita vedanta. I used the think the universe was unreal, then neither real nor unreal, but now I'm leaning towards real, but dreamlike in its transience and in being an adjunct of the more permanent thing.

@technolyze @medievalwars if I met a girl at yoga class I'd probably just rant about how anglo yoga is not real yoga and I'd call her a liar when she says she meditates

@technolyze @medievalwars but what is shes a mayavadan and says "no, the world is unreal, an imposition on Brahman by maya". or what if she a sri vaishnaiva and says "no, this universe is real because its the body of Vishnu" or what if shes a rangtong buddhist who says "nothing is inherently real because everything is impermanent, the only consistency is emptiness".

@medievalwars @technolyze everything is real because everything is Brahman. but some things are real like dreams are real, and since the play of prakriti doesnt touch the atman, samsaric existence is like a dream in its transience.

@technolyze gender is a social construct but its constructed particularly in a hierarchical nature to subordinate women to men. so its not entirely arbitrary, there are patterns...

@technolyze unfortunately my posting style is influenced by gay zoomers but otherwise the only overt female gender signifier I have is longish hair and thats due to self neglect not to wanting to be a pretty girl. most of my clothes are mens clothes or androgynous. my manner of speech irl is autistic. my interests are a mix. the whole idea is to not perform at all.
