Diagram of God

I've posted diagrams like this before, but this one is much more coherent and accurate than any of the other ones in my opinion. I don't know what the purpose or usefulness of this is, but either way, here it is.

Seems to be leaning a bit on the christian doctrine(?) What with the whole trinity thing going on... I think that if god does exist as more than a symbol for the self as a conscious aspect of the universe it would probably transcend such a marginal restriction, no?

Not to piss on your post there,but can we really say more accurate? It seems simple enough of a diagram...I just don't know how you'd go about accurately depicting gods on one.

I meant more accurate than the other diagrams I've previously posted, for example:
 
The idea originated from the Christian doctrine of the trinity, but is otherwise independent of Christianity. I wouldn't say God is restricted to the margins, just that It is expressing Itself to me/us within these margins.

I would say, that God is that white background which includes all those black lines on it also. Cant really make a diagram for infinity...

hmm, perhaps "you" should be in the center, not "God". You are a specific manifestation with an identity characterized by specific qualities, for example the specific form of the Spirit, being exactly what you are experiencing right now, and the specific form of the body, being the state of your physical existence at this moment. I could see how unexpressed potential, possibilities other than this current manifested possibility, could be considered a part of God, while you are specifically this one expressed possibility.

Nice diagram. I think one using "nature", "body", and "mind" interacting to make what manifests would be pretty accurate.

God isn't only the center, he is the space in which you make the diagram =-O
