If it gives you any comfort, I am not a theist.  Despite the fact that I
think the universe is intelligently designed, I do not believe in an
omniscient Creator.

Overlapping levels are still levels -- differences.  Absolute Essence is the
non-differentiated Not-Other.  Differentiation occurs only in the human
perspective of Essence, which is Existence.
