Talk:Being X/@comment-35434444-20200421202903

In my opinion, "Being X" is the Self and is infinite. The true ultimate reality.

"God" is just a very powerful entity.

The curious facet of the Hindu mysticism is it's capacity to contain, or otherwise coexist with, all other religions. Which is to say that the Atman is doing all things, but has no directives for it and isn't even directly conscious of it's own activity. Thus the Hebrew God can be just another thing the ultimate reality is doing.

As far as any continuation to the story goes, whether the Hebrew God is included or not, I would find it more intriguing for the entity meddling with everything to be the Self because this allows him to assume absolute moral ambiguity.

The only directive the Self has, as a metaphor, is for reality to be novel or interesting.

An atmosphere of "anything goes" matches the tone quite well.

One of the Self's favourite games is the somewhat to test if people can figure the game out -- figure out what metaphysical situation they're in -- which would provide a motivation for it to assume the identity of the subordinate monarchical god and antagonize aspects of it'self in the form of Tanya.

This also means it's theoretically possible for Tanya to outsmart God if the Atman considers it fun.

Just a few ideas...
