Advaita

Where do i start? It is about one of these "coincidences" when everything makes sense in the end where every single piece fits tightly together to the one experiencing it - me - and probably is just a mixture of random occurrences to everyone else.
And this time it needs a little bit of looking back into the past.

Inanna came to tell, that my Spirit Totem had fulfilled another cycle and was to burn out and be hatched anew. She had another name back then, her feathers brightly golden, yellow and orange, on her head curved horns had grown as she had picked up the vibration of the mighty thunderbirds who had hatched her last time. Now I saw her extinguished, the light fading, her name fading, and she was gone, leaving me to explore further the depths of my shadows.
When she came back, fresh and bright, the name that fit that Phoenix being that took the attributes of a white swan in this turn was again a Sanskrit word. I have no idea how it comes I know Sanskrit but deep down I can access it and maybe that is to be revealed to my awareness too in time.
Anyway, a week later after Satya's return, I did a significant Tarot reading with the Mary-El Tarot. Never before was the theme for the time to come so obvious to me: transcending polarity. Every single card spoke of polarities, if not in itself, then in an aspect with other ones. The Hierophant in the end, as the beacon of what I am to become in this next life-cycle, a being that transcends polarity in itself and nourishes both opposites inside. The ultimate embodiment of the AND-consciousness.
The spread is called "Inanna's descent into the underworld":

 Well, the weeks passed, I lived my life, enjoyed the sun, I built a shamanic drum, I had a visitor from Germany for a holiday, I prepared awesome food and observed the butterflies I had manifested by occupying my mind with gathering thoughts of them and tried to decide whether I should start Qi-Gong or Yoga once I get more money in two or three months...
...when I had a dream one morning this week. I met Inanna and Asket in a café and we discussed book recommendations. Inanna said, "Advaita, that is an awesome thing, go read that!", and then I woke up. Of course I knew the word meant something like "about non-duality", it is obvious when you grew up with a Slavic language that developed directly from Sanskrit. But when I googled it, how surprised I was to learn that besides the fact that Advaita Vedanta is a Vedic school based on the Upanishads, the Bhagavad gita and the Brahma-Sutra that states that Atman (personal higher Self) is identical with Brahman (pure divine Essence) and thus all is One and non-dual, the Advaita uses the symbol of a swan.

"An artistic rendering of a swan, with the Sanskrit sentence Brahmaiva satyam - Brahman is the only Truth. The greatest masters in the advaita tradition are called paramahamsas - the great swans. The word hamsa is a variation of so'ham: I am He, which constitutes the highest realization. There are other equivalences between the swan and the advaitin, that make the swan a particularly apt symbol for advaita vedAnta. The swan stays in water, but its feathers remain dry. Similarly, the advaitin lives in the world, yet strives to remain unaffected by life's ups and downs."
from Advaita Vedanta

So then I wanted to know, what does an advaitin practice to reach the goal of liberation? Is there an Advaita Yoga or do they use other traditions? And I came across... Here goes the drumroll... Jnana Yoga! Before I bore you with that, here's the link to Jnana Yoga

Well now, you'll probably see what I'll be doing for a while now, and i guess, Yoga has won over Qi-Gong :D
