Western artistic tradition through Greco/Christian symbolism surpasses the rest of the world so thoroughly it's embarrassing to even compare them

>> No.10174459

The fedora phase in between is the real cringe. I dropped catholicism early in life, and it wasn't until i read Aristotle that i oppened up again to the idea of god. I'm currently with advaita vedanta.

If you think that your monotheistic stage was cringey then you do not understand Brahman.

>>10174381
polytheism anthhropomorphizes concepts to grab the masses' attention. The underlying truth is the Brahman: beyond categorization, we can only use metaphor to hint at it's existence. All encompassing everything, ever present, eternally fertile foundation of existence. Hinduism at its deepest isn't even Hinduism, it's a metaphysical question mark + subjective pragmatism.

So, what you're essentially saying is that we can be pantheists/panentheists (depending on interpretation) in the more straightforward manner of Giordano Bruno, and that we don't need to pretend to be pajeets to do so -- thus just appearing as regular heretics, without painting giant fedoras on ours heads?

>>10174549
Fair enough. But I don't think it makes sense for you to judge a stage in your life. It's our nature as part of the flux.

I don't understand Brahman, though, and I mean that in a immanent subjective sense. To understand him in my mind is to accept everything that comes with a subtle joy, in the mystical sense. I do think that begins by logically accepting all things, even if you can't emotionally.

This is the Christian understanding of God.

The Hindu understanding of God is not just that God is the ground of existence, but that God is also every thing that exists (pantheism). So cancer cells and bovine excrement are also divine. The confusion of the divine Substance with the substances of creatures is main error of Brahmanism.

Hinduism is the worst religion.

christianity has that too
Iambdus (cant quite remember his name)
divided god in 3, then into 3x3, then 3x3x3, he ended up with 243 aspects (Dogans say 255)

The Celts have an even more detailed version, you probably should have read up on it before rejecting Gods Will
