And what misguided doxographer told you that Yogacara equates vijnapti-matra
with "ultimate nature" (whatever the blazes that might mean)? If they
charged you money for that information, time to get a refund.

Au contraire, then one sounds EXACTLY like a Yogacara. What one sounds less
like is the doxographers who, without understanding Yogacara, insist on
telling you what they claim.
