Western Vajrayana?

 


How on earth is this different from Non-Dual Shaivism or Vajrayana? Metaphysically, that is. Still, Bradley´s weird habit of shooting at cats at the Oxford university grounds sounds almost Tantric, LOL.

>>>British idealism was generally marked by several broad tendencies: a belief in an Absolute (a single all-encompassing reality that in some sense formed a coherent and all-inclusive system); the assignment of a high place to reason as both the faculty by which the Absolute's structure is grasped and as that structure itself; and a fundamental unwillingness to accept a dichotomy between thought and object, reality consisting of thought-and-object together in a strongly coherent unity.
