    On what basis does this guy make claims of the nature of god?... westerners have been trying to match up eastern esoteric thought for hundreds of years with monotheistic fairy floss like 'god is love'.. and here's another. Only a matter of time until he's playing Radio City Music Hall like the Dalai Lama last year! McBhuddism anyone?

    My guess is the eastern esoteric community was more right than the monotheists all along but the source can be called whatever, so the monotheist converts call it God anyways by habit. Ex-monotheist atheists tend to still think that when the esoteric community calls this source God they think it is some father figure up in the clouds that the monotheists have instilled in to your minds. The truth is, is that this guy's God is not the same God of the monotheists at all.

    JD... you'll find very 'eastern' threads of thought through all the monotheistic faiths as far back nearly as Moses. Same with the gnostic Xtians, same with some streams of Islam... where god is 'the void','silence' or 'nothing' etc.. the uncaused cause.. it's just that the church bureaucrats usually foisted a more 'unsophisticated' variation on the masses. Esoteric thought has never been the sole preserve of the east.

    I always thought that the invisible man premise was a concept that was used for children so they could better grasp the idea's that were being forced upon them.
