Oh yeah, I forgot Pettson and Findus. I love it. I can give more recommendations, including picture books if interested. I am a bit tired right now though.

I forgot to mention Pettson and Findus too. This is the kind of stuff I am looking for.

The Truth is there is a higher divine "being" from which emanates the inspiration for children's literature and serene mental states or events in life. I have had a transcendent dream that pointed to this indisputable Truth. Furthermore, there is a lower being that emits a murky darkness which steeps into horror stories or disturbing mental states or events in life. These celestial and hellish beings are more akin to "orbs of qualia" that are intimately tied to our minds, hence the meaning of "Twin Mainyus" as Zarathustra says in the Gathas. All fictional worlds are real, but they can be framed as a hierarchy based on whether they are closer to heaven or hell. For example, Moominvalley is very close to Ahura Mazda's House of Song whereas Ligotti's puppet-world is closer to Ahriman's House of Lies. There is no truth to nondualism, monism, or monotheism, but it is possible to escape their unending dualistic battle through Buddha's path. On a deeper level both the higher and lower realms are tainted by Dukkha but the lower realms are moreso. Nirvana is not nondual, however, but it is simply absence of two and not into a void. The only way to reach Nirvana is through upper realms, not the lower realms.

How to understand that which I point to:
1) Tacitly Apprehending the Light Ball of Qualia:
Grab a good selection of picture books and children's literature that promote loving-kindness, generosity, and wisdom. Place them in a circle and sit cross-legged in the centre of them. Make any kind of hand gesture and go into deep state of absorption. Eventually you will see the God of Light, but it is impermanent and not omnipotent.

2) Tacitly Apprehending the Dark Ball of Qualia:
Watch any disturbing video like "2 guys, 1 hammer" and vicariously experience the pain of the victim and then the greed, hatred, and delusion of the perpetrators. Do this so deeply and you will see that evil dominates the material plane, but you will see the ball of deadly darkness from which the poisonous and painful states of mind leak from into our own. This evil god dominates the material plane.

3) How to leave the dualistic struggle, if that's what you choose rather than being reincarnated to higher-realms:
Just follow Buddhism without becoming nondualistic, monist, or monotheistic.
