" Namaste All, I remember reading Spinoza many years ago and the impression that I get about his ideas on 'God', is that he was in tune with the Kabbalists. Their idea of a Transcendent God was similar also to the Christian idea of a God transcending but at the same time having some attributes. Ein Sof was the term used. This generally wasn't the same thing as Saguna Brahman. Although their idea of God Immanent is somewhat analogous to Ishvara. Isvara being the sum total of all the Jivas as trees in a forest. They didn't appear to have the concept of NirGuna Brahman at all, never mind AjataVada........So we are talking in the area of probably Visishtadvaita as opposed to Advaita with Spinoza and the Kabbalists................ONS...Tony.
