> At the most fundamental stratum of my metaphysical commitments, I am, ineluctably, a monist of an unapologetically non-dualistic persuasion, for whom engagement with Orthodox Christianity serves less as an exercise in doctrinal fidelity than as an endeavor in subsuming its more recalcitrant dogmatic formulations within the broader and more ontological perspicuous framework of a properly non-dual metaphysics. This metaphysical vision—whose most lucid and intellectually irrefragable articulation is to be found in Advaita Vedanta—must, of course, be nuanced by certain Neoplatonic and apophatic correctives, so as to sustain at least the simulacrum of patristic continuity, if only to mollify those of my interlocutors whose anxieties concerning theological propriety remain too acute to permit a more candid reckoning with the necessary logical entailments of divine simplicity.
