It's not wrong.
For all traditional teachings
What is traditional?
This is traditional.
If you don't understand that we cannot have a meaningful conversation
I mean what is "traditionaL'
that which belongs to traditional civilizations
Traditional civilizations actually believed that.
According therefore,to all traditional teachings
Traditional Indo-European sky father wills the world into being.
Through cognition
Material world was a manifestation, and as such full of symbols which revealed, but not represented higher meanings
CAN STILL BE MONIST HOWEVER
It is not a manifestation.
It is an imitation.
PLATO SAID CAUSE TO EFFECT: IDEA => MATERIAL
Body itself, was, when you deeply contemplate on these teachings, perhaps the most sacred of all
The idea is not material
The soul is not your body
IDEA (CAUSE) => MATERIAL (EFFECT)
IS A FORM OF MONISM
NOT DUALISM
And the most revered teachings were those that were deeply inner, therefore urelated to mere exoteric, like serving the masses
AND THIS IS WHAT (I THINK) @The Enlightened Shepherd IS TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE
COULD BE WRONG
NOT SURE
MORE TEA
So why is the goal of most skyfather faiths (and those that imitate them) for you to die?
The body doesn't matter.
Your body is the main source of all of your perception
For you to seek "beyond" perception outside of body is a folly, sine which is outside the body is pretty much completely related to it
The concept of entrapped, petrified power
Is contained within all that we consdier material world
As one and the same form
yet
it contains numerous other symbols
and only as such aer they traditionally comprehended, and the goal of all training is to perceive these higher truths, to receive "bliss", "enlightenment" call it whatever you will
this is no mandate
there is no heavenly reward or punishment for this
heavenly punishment and reward
