The problem with all these variations on godhead, as Lizzie implies, is that they are representations of something that cannot be represented.

It strikes me that to actually contact and perceive the nature of infinite Cause of Existence, one would have to be highly spiritually evolved as an individual, first.

As long as one's sense of own Identity is layered over with pictures and alphabets and mental sediment of all kinds, the sort we use for normaloperation, I don't really see how impressions of godhead could be much more than a Sunday Comix version.

That being the case, I am endlessly amazed by how seriously that version gets taken. Men and women still fight to the death over it. Which strikes me as comparable to slitting throats over whether Doonesbury is better than Dilbert. I do not mean here to be disrespectful to those who seek and find some insight into the Infinite. I treasure that effort. I am simply remarking that like any perception, this one is susceptible to endless degrees and gradients of degradation and alteration.

But I don't think anyone really has a place in claiming which is which concerning another's travels in this highly volatile territory. Volatile, I mean, not because of its fundamental nature, as far as I understand it, but because of the shoddy nature of our own perceptual mechanisms when we are using anything but the purest of direct perception.
