Consider universal consciousness is to isvara as the universe is to the universe. Also saguna brahman is nirguna brahman is an unspoken mahavakya.
The universe is a world of materialists, monotheists, and spiritualists. A monotheist thinks the universe is created by a god. A spiritualist thinks the universe is the god. A materialist thinks the universe is all there is.
But a certain kind of nondualist, knowing consciousness doesn’t appear in the universe but the universe is appearing in consciousness, adopts the metaparadigm of universal consciousness as its myth, names it isvara, gives it the power of maya, respects their potency, and dreams of samadhi.

Individual consciousness appears in universal consciousness—without this provisional understanding in your bones, there is no proper neti neti.
It's not just 'not individual consciousness', but it’s 'not individual consciousness, not universal consciousness'. That’s proper neti neti.
Individual consciousness does not appear in the universe. Individual consciousness appears in universal consciousness. There’s a chain of command with Isvara at the top.
Absolute consciousness does not absolve individual consciousness. Absolute consciousness absolves universal consciousness.
