Isn't this monism?

>> No.15901175

>>15900618
yes
>>15900003
Concurrentists like St. Thomas, who were classical theistic dualists also argue that finite objects are necessarily contingent on God as god is subsistent existence - that for who existence is its essence itself alone
albiet God is for St. Thomas the ultimate reality, not the sole existing thing and God is distinct from creation

it is a subset of monism, not necessarily the same

The most valuable thing in the all of the cosmos is paradoxically the most worthless mundane artifact that never was and never shall be in the mind of God.

Is this definition real? I used to think acosmism is something like gnosticism (being against the world):
anarchism = a-n-archy, against rule, against government
acosmism = a-cosmos, against order, against decor, against the all

>> No.15903523

Like everything derived from Abrahamism, it sounds like cultish bullshit

Everything in Kabbalah and chassidut. Mostly everyone agrees (whose not a woeful hylic). Read Guenon to see the similarities amongst the traditions.

>>15904199
The monist is dumbfounded how the One can be all things without all things being each other. That All converge in the One, but not eachother. That it is true to say it is One and there's nothing else, but wrong to say that it does not beget the multifarious infinite whom are distinct from each other.
