@Meaningness is Tantra monist? (I'm specifically thinking of Nyingma Vajrayana and Tantric Shaivism) It seems like a lot of your concepts of the complete stance stem from Tantra but as I'm learning about it it seems pretty monist to me...
Well spotted! It does tend in that direction. Some of the Hindu versions are explicitly so I think (but I don’t know much about them and may be mistaken). Buddhist versions are explicitly not, but some get dangerously close.

They also tend to eternalism. Explicitly, again, in the Hindu case, and in the Buddhist case explicitly denied. But Buddhist tantra skates awfully close at times.

Are there traditions that squarely point at a complete stance without veering towards monism/eternalism etc?
