As a Buddhist, there is some overlap with what Jay Michaelson says on this post, and some Mahayana Buddhist notions. But, - I'm reminded of a comment I made on Barbara's blog about religion and New atheists - I would say strongly that this god is not the god of monotheistic religions by any stretch of the imagination, and as somewhere in one of Kapleau's books said, it does a nearly sacrilegious disservice to refer to Michaelson's idea of a deity as the same thing as the gods of these religions.
That's why, out of respect to them, and out of clarity I would say that this god is in no way the god of Christianity, Judaism or Islam.
