Buddha

Allan:
        Thanks for the comments. You have an expansive
concept-structure and I wonder how you verify it to
yourself, as it seems something "cooked up" to me...   It
might interest you to know that Theosophical Doctrines (In
Purucker, at least, probably in Blavatsky somewhere...)
hold that *Existence* is consisted of a series of
"Absolutes" and that this whole reality of seven or twelve
planes, is a manifestation or "inferior" to another superior
hierarchy - and this goes on ad infinitum - Parabrahman,
the great ever ungraspable ALL. Perhaps you don't know
enough of Theosophy to regard it as a minor philosophy. 
        Also, you can do what you like, but I think the use of
the word "personal" and "God" are perhaps inappropriate
for the elevated meaning you give to them.  The usual
meaning of these words are much more mundane, and
there is great inertia to understand them as such.
Theosophy holds that The Buddha is the most advanced
human this race has  produced, and also not in Nirvanna,
but still here. I see you regard yourself as superior to
Buddha, which makes me regard you a cosmic nut case. 
That higher level prana does have its effect doesn't it!
You'd probably find Purucker interesting.
