Thou art That
I tried Zen but got bored with all the cliches and pointing fingers.
Is Dzogchen the same personage as Dogen?

Again you're sounding all Advaita. Could you explain clearly what the difference is between Advaita and your belief in "cosmic consciousness"?
Is Dzogchen the same personage as Dogen?
Stop trying to pigeon hole Reality!
It's basically a religious belief, verging on pantheism.
Religious? Who is the deity?
No, it's Tibetan Buddhism and far superior to Zen.
"Cosmic Consciousness" is your deity.
So your definition of "Cosmic Consciousness" is.....?
And the difference between "Cosmic Consciousness" and Advaita is.....?
How about answering the question though. What is the difference between Advaita and your belief in "cosmic consciousness"? They sound similar, though it's difficult to judge because you still haven't defined what you actually mean by "cosmic consciousness".
You do realize, do you not, that the Buddha held no preferences.
Now go to your room!
Actually, now that I think about it, "Universal View" is an "Abstract Particular," which is not the same as "no particular view." .
Just a way of pointing out the foolishness of your sectarian rants against "Hinyana".
So your definition of "Cosmic Consciousness" is.....?
And the difference between "Cosmic Consciousness" and Advaita is.....?
No, its an absolute.
No, I am eagerly awaiting your definition of "Cosmic Consciousness" and your explanation of how it differs from Advaita.
I don't know.
Yeah, absolute fiction.
I will tell you the moment my Lord and Master, His Holiness, Rev. Spiny Normanicus, reveals it to me. Deal, or No Deal?
So you keep going on about "Cosmic Consciousness" and you don't know what it is?! How strange is that?!
