As I understand it, the Absolute is not actually THE absolute.  There are many
of them, each serving as the head of a heirarchy.  They are the Wonderous
Beings, etc etc.  The One Principle is the ineffable, eternal (truly eternal,
not manvantarically) principle from which ALL things which exist spring.
