To: alt.zen From: "Chris Degnen"Subject: Nirvana Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 17:53:42 -0000 In my contemplations on nothing I found an interesting webpage about God existing "in two realms." http://reluctant-messenger.com/citsym/understanding-God.htm Includes this chart, and the caveat: "in conjunction with mystical terms, the reader is asked to accept that the Uncreated God is beyond comprehension." -= UNCREATED GOD (Nirvana) =- / AIN = The Ineffable Void \ TAO AIN SOF = The Ineffable Infinite BRAHMAN \ AIN SOF OHR = The Ineffable Effulgent Light / ------------------------------------------------------------- -= CREATOR GOD (Supreme Lord) =- / Omnipotent - Omniscience - Omnipresent \ KRISHNA Yahweh - Jehovah - Lord - Ishvara CHRIST \ Illusion - Nature - Law - Existence / Most of this mystical phenomenology revolves around phenomena coming into and out of existence... From the Buddhist point of view, the realms are Nirvana and Maya. In the Christian paradigm perhaps the Holy Spirit is the grace by which they arise and disappear.
