Re: Brahman is all the above?
The distinction between brahman and the abrahamic god is that the abrahamic god is characterized as if it lives time linearly like us - that at the start, it decided to make a world, and has been playing with it since.
Instead, Brahman makes no distinction between the creator and the created; there is no past and future for brahman, all things are brahman, and brahman just changes. The clock's ticking requires brahman to change such that it is ticking, has ticked, and will tick again, and that the hand moves accordingly.
If you found out that you were god, dreaming a life for yourself, and that you were identical with the external world, you would ask yourself: "So, what would I have happen to me in my life? what would be my perfect drama?":cool1:
You died, and death was complete freedom from suffering - bliss. But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever.
