> pantheism you describe is a truth
its not pantheism, its non-duality or the rejection of anything to be true, except God. no idea what its called.
in pantheism, reality/universe has a legitimate existence. i don't believe in such a thing. im an idealist, all of this is in the mind of the monad.
btw. the monad is the absolute, there is nothing beyond it, so what you are saying here is missing the point:
> Behind this infinite game lies something higher, beyond the Demiurge, beyond the monad that entertains itself. Calling it "Pleroma," "Unity," or "Source" doesn't matter. but it's a state that goes beyond the simple logic of cycles and amusement.
Monad is it! there is nothing beyond, above or below it. all else is an illusion which the monad came up with or which is part of its nature, to always be in a state of having fun...
and its "isness" is what this reality is the expression of.

> but what I see here is mostly suffering. The flesh is pain, illness, aging, and a little pleasure to deceive us
earth is like a perfect 50-50 mix of good and bad experiences. i bet you love pizza. i bet you orgasmed really hard that one time and never forgot about it.
i bet you love your child.
these all count. but because of negativity bias, you don't remember those! thus the avg. outlook is negative, but earth is 50-50
in the heavenly realms, the mixture is biased towards good and in the hellish realms, the mixture is biased towards more bad. if you think earth is bad, wait til you experience hell (again)
but that too is ok and welcome. why?
because experience/isness in only perceivable in deltas, in things changing. if things never changed, if there was no motion, no movement from one state to another state, discernment would not be, isness would not be.
your biggest enemy is constancy/eternity
there is nothing worse than eternal happiness or eternal sadness or more generally put, anything eternal. it numbs your perception, your ability to experience or discern
