Please, make up your mind. To quote yourself, "I don’t think the word ‘principle’ is being used in the same sense as when used in relation to economics or mathematics. It’s hard to give a precise definition of it, but it seems to be trying to indicate precisely what the other spiritual traditions claim, i.e an impersonal source — Brahman, the Tao, Pleroma, Ayin and so on." Thus, even if you "imagine person as a 'soul' (or similar term, consciousness if you prefer), of the same nature as 'God'", God, even by your standards, is clearly not impersonal.

It seems to me that in your rendition God is impersonal and creates personal souls which are then separate persons (perhaps, in relation to persons, I should have used the term "being" instead of "human being"). And these "souls" are then "incarnated into [...] physical body". Well, that's not how it is and anyone can verify it.

So, if stating that water flows or gravity attracts amounts to a worldview, then yes, what I'm saying here is a worldview, too. Quite different from the speculations you and Gerald engage in, though.
