So, Buddhism actually *does* get into such infantile games!
...or some so-called "Buddhists" do, at any rate :-) Again, I am not a Neo-Advaitin, or a Buddhist, or a Christian, or a Hindu, or a Wiccan, though there are elements of all of these that I have found to be helpful in self-discovery and self-description. In working with my particles, I am enlightening every Being in my universe, as I suspect the so-called "Neo-Advaitin" BK is also doing. FWIW my Universe -- my bodymind -- happily and miraculously supports and fulfills my every desire, generally almost before I realize I have the desire. I like BK's stuff, but I did not Awaken with it (though many of my particles have); when I Awakened, THAT which Awoke named itself Brahman, and Buddha, and the Crucifixion, for THAT was the death of the Witness into the great immensity. As "Brahman" I am the "Cosmic Consciousness" of my particles, and when Brahman discovers its ability to collapse into and relate with its particles, it enlivens "Krishna/Karttikeya" and then I am the "God Consciousness" or "Avatar" of my particles. When Wholeness discovers that I can "eat" my particles in the all-consuming fire of blissful love, it enlivens "Shiva/Vishnu" and then I am the "Unity Consciousness" of my particles. All a story or a map of course, but as True as I can speak it in this moment :-) I LOVE the image of Indra's Net, for its infinitely harmonious and self- reflecting nature nicely captures the Being/Love aspects of Indra, whom we consider to be the original Vishnu. As we consider Rudra to be the original Shiva, our Sanskrit name would probably be "Indraprem Brahmajyoti Rudraananda" -- "the Being/Love of Indra (Vishnu), the Consciousness/Light of Brahma(n), the Bliss/Laughter of Rudra (Shiva)," this making up the whole of the Hiranyagarbha or Sat-chit-ananda torus. Or, for short, *L*L*L* or, traditionally, *A*U*M*
