..this is why more than one person has suggested over the years that the 'god' that spoke to moses was a demon...same with the angel gabriel in a certain cave a while later..like the 'angel' in Last Temptation of Christ wasn't quite what it seemed..

This is essentially what the Gnostics meant by the Demiurge..

..and the Source is beyond this 'god'

(i appreciate the level of gnostic interest on the nexus, always enjoy that poem acacian)

As for 'non-dualism' (to condense a vast subject in the extreme) ..rather than saying good and bad are equivalent, or one, or not to judge, it is more saying that nothing is separate, nothing is apart...the complete universal understanding of that is of course beyond the scope of human mind by many orders of magnitude...hence a different route is suggested to alleviate internal suffering..which in turn alleviates ego driven aspects of mind that cause external suffering..

interesting discussion all, thanks
