I'm having trouble understanding the dualism introduced by Ebola regarding the feminine chtonic power opposing the olympian forces of light, or not so much the dualism itself but rather the supposed solely prefered identification with the olympic side.

I understand the general ancient cosmology to be like this:
0. There is the undifferentiated magical void, primordial unity, the noumena, guenonian infinity, wuji, the one, the pure essence, shentong buddha-nature, brahman, yama's home, neither light nor darkness but pure potentiality
1. In this void the first differentiation happens, the first actualization, now including both being and non-being, represented by agni or the cosmic egg or pangu or cosmic adam, light and darkness united
2. Then the taiji separates itself into complementary opposites of light and darkness, creative masculine will and receptive feminine matter, asuras and devas, titans and angels, good and evil, life and death, undifferentiation and individualization, now separate, leaving the garden of eden, both born to the same parent
3. The individualizing positive masculine forces of the olympians or devas then overpower the undifferentiating negative feminine forces of the titans or asuras just so much that the equilibrium can be destroyed and now is tipping slightly towards individualization so formlessness and darkness is overcome and the world comes into existence. But this imbalance is only temporary and is reversed at the ragnarok where the world disappears until a new cycle begins

part 2

Now it seems to me that buddhism, advaita and daoism focus on step 0. of the cosmological hierarchy, whereas Ebola is autistically obsessing with step 3. while seemingly ignoring that both olympians and titans are complementary opposites (or are they not?) born from the same ultimate essence.
Am I being retarded here? I understand why one should not elevate the feminine over the masculine and that the masculine forces of form must dominate the feminine forces of formlessness for the world to exist, but isn't this preference ultimately a faulty dualism?
Why would a nondualist buddhist or advaitist prefer one complementary opposite over the other? Why prefer form over formlessness? Life over death? Light over darkness? Is the goal to preserve the existence of the manifest world? So we actively want differentiation and it's not Avidyā? How can we prefer the masculine light while at the same time proclaim that all is one? Why should one worship pure being and not that which lies beyond both being and non-being? The PIE cultures worshipped Agni and Indra and Thor, those whomst've slayed and escaped the bonding holdfast of infinity and brought life and being. Have I been memed by and old world monkey, new age advaita, nihilist buddhism and death cult christianity into believing that physical existence and the manifest world is sth that should be overcome and not appreciated over the infinite, that nonbeing and being are supposedly the same thing?
I don't feel so good /lit/bros.

I am not reading this, looks like a bait post anyway. Stop focusing on the most obscure philosophical questions conceivable. Also learn how to express yourself in less than 1000 words.

It is in this field that the daoists distinguish themselves from other traditions in the practice of maintaining the balance of the internal energies so that they can be further cultivated rather than exhausted.

Take, for example, the daoist practice of engageling in sexual intercourse with women without ejaculating. By doing so, a man can take yin energy from his female partner without depleting his own supplies of yang in a sort of sexual energy-vampirism. This is done to replenish and/or increase the abundance of qi within the body

>why shouldn't we worship the undifferentiated void that devours the phenomenal universe at the end of time
I don't know, you tell me. The goal is to become a universe/Star of your own.

that 'undifferentiated void' is what 'a universe/Star' is made from. to deactivate an apparatus is to turn it into that sacred nothingness. and to fashion the truth that is engrained on the sacred tablets of the heart (of Lorkhan/Shor). don't you know that the first Dragonborn was right?

It's what it's made of, but not what it's reducible to. I don't want to get eaten by eternal night; call it a symptom of a tumorous urban subjectivity or what, I don't care and I'm still not sure if you'd actually be right about it. There are no Gnostics in Eden

>> No.22135493

>>22135480
but it's not the 'eternal night'! that is vivec's hermophroditic propaganda! read Delouze on the Chaosmos. it is the non-place of infinite ontological speeds where the multiplicity plays with itself as waves.

I'll defer to the Egyptians and their Nun here; an infinite, inert liquid darkness. Deleuze was Deleuze. Exhibit A of tumorous fop subjectivity. Better an autofellatic Atum than a lily-pad in eternal darkness
