Put simply emotions is ignorance and oneness is how to get passed it. Should oneness be desired it defeats the purpose.
Emotional pleasure is temporary and dependent on materialistic ideas.
Materialism is not satisfying really. It's imperfect.
Dualism is entertaining but it's not real. I think one can only accept its reality for so long before we begin to see the flaws.
I like dualism. It's like going on a scary rollercoaster frightening and you want to get off but after the ride is over, you want to go again for the thrill. After the thousandth time, maybe not so thrilling anymore.
Assuming the universe started in unity if it was so great why leave it in the first place?
The benefit of "enlightenment"?... You can enjoy the ride without enslavement to the emotional highs and lows that come with material attachment.
Though I suspect the novelty of that will eventually wear off.
Hell, eternal torture, devils, demons... wow all scary stuff right? Death, suffering, pain, loss... We write books, make movies, play games. This stuff entertains us.
To enjoy a movie, you have to forget it's all pretend. Get emotionally involved in the script, suspend disbelief.
