No Nominalist system recognizes much less copes with the phenomenon of delusion.
Every Realist system recognizes and more or less appropriately copes with the phenomenon of delusion.
To expand cosmology (structure), simplify ontology (effort).
The Jewish Homeland is Kashmir.
Theology is a body of evidence, not a body of opinion. It is a technical language that articulates the phenomenology of unmediated experience.

Anyone who defines themselves by a bodily function is rather at the other end of things from humanity and, ipso facto, spirituality.

There are two kinds of authority: the authority of station and the authority of experience.
The authority of experience can exist without the authority of station. The authority of station cannot exist without some authority of experience.
Therefore, the authority of experience antecedes and has prerogative over the authority of station.
The authority of station is transmitted impersonally through rituals. The authority of experience is transmitted personally through bloodlines.
For denominating leaders, bloodline is the best opportunity we have for achieving a coincidence of the authority of station with the authority of experience.

Every subject is the prius of itself.
A full heart and a bouncy step are the appropriate gifts to bring.
Nature or will, not logic, is the reason for being, the ultimate explanation for anything and everything.

Creation is not illusion, but taking it as creation is.
The world is not illusion, but taking it as the world is.

The First Coming is the birth of a Christ such as Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Shankara, Bahá’u’lláh.
Each Christ comes with a flock assigned to them but is also a universal cynosure and plenary potency. Christs are known to very many.
The Second Coming is the passion — participation in the human condition — of a Christ. Each Christ, for example, comes with a consort and children.
Their families persist through time and experience the vicissitudes and the victories of life.
The Third Coming is the advent of an Avathar of the Lord such as Rama, Krishna and the series of three Sai Avathars: Shirdi, Sathya and Prema.
Avathars are known to very few. They are a lot of fun and a lot of work or an unbearable terror.

The universe is two cones arrayed oppositely from the same origin, described by the principle of a Spira Mirabilis and contained in a chronologically responsive and porous dodecahedonal receptacle.
Scripture witnesses against itself. See Jeremiah 7:21ff. Therefore, scripture has no authority.
Reason witnesses against itself. See the demonstrations of Zeno, Kant and Godel. Therefore, reason has no authority.
Tradition witnesses against itself. See the existence of Christians’ denominations. Therefore, tradition has no authority.
The language of love is laughter.
The essence of the worldly code of ethics is selfishness. The essence of the spiritual code of ethics is disinterestedness.
Power is in the hands of the disinterested.

How would we know that something is NOT adwaithin (non-dualistic)? Delusion is taking anything as NOT adwaithin.
