अहं ब्रह्मास्मि त्वं ब्रह्म असि अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म
the essence of God is not even separable from maya, for maya is Gods greatest power and a direct result of Gods perfect freedom. maya makes the impossible possible, causing God to "forget Himself" if He wants to, creating the bound jivas and all that seems to be unlike God.

sat and chit are not "powers" of God but are descriptions of Gods perfect essence and existence. Being is inherently Conscious, Self-Knowledge is inherently Truth.

many hear illusion and think fake, but the early advaita vedantins were much more nuanced than this. in fact the view of sankara was likely that the world is real because its based on brahman, but that it is transient. this is very similar to my understanding of the world as real but dreamlike in its transience and lack of universality.

mithya originally meant neither essentially real nor essentially unreal, but transient like an illusion, not "totally unreal"

reading about ramakrishnas visions of Kali Maa as a boundless ocean of luminous consciousness with waves, that corresponds to my understanding of God and the world as pure consciousness with the world being the movement of this consciousness so well. it synergizes the vedantic and the tantric... God is non-dual self-luminous self-awareness, but He vibrates to produce "waves", or spandas, that appear limited and manifold and discrete

God taught me that God transcends passive and dynamic, because both imply duality

aurobindo being a vedantic agrees with me that Para Brahman is unmoving being as it doesnt change and is beyond time. ive said and thought this! however, the tantrics are right that Brahman CAN move, this movement is the universe of becoming.
