What mythical creature do you think encompasses everything?

[3guanoff]

I have no idea how to properly phrase it and in the end I can't be bothered with googling.

But to me, Kun Peng the giant flying fish should not it.

It has the dao of swallowing, means it is good at swallowing.

It does not mean that it encompasses everything.

This thread is the definition of "the meeting can just be email"

purusa. or, if you are talking Chinese mythology, it is Pangu and the egg:

In Chinese mythology, Pan Gu was the god who created the world. Heaven and earth were originally formless and indistinct, like an egg, with Pan Gu living in the middle. After 18,000 years, heaven and earth split (another version has it that Pan Gu split them with a huge axe). The light part, resembling egg white, rose up and became heaven. The heavy part, resembling egg yolk, sank down and became the earth. Each day heaven increased in height, and so did Pan Gu. After his death, the parts of his body became the sun, moon and stars, rivers and mountains, minerals and stone, and grass and forests.

The best I can think of are Djinns or Genies because they can answer wishes.

Well, Define "Mythical".

I think you can't go wrong with the Great Maw, warhammer 40k, but I think you need a change in perspective.

Take D&D 3.5 The center of the Neutral realms is a giant Pillar that extends into the sky forever. It nullifies all magic when you approach. Now, my take on it is that it is the "exit". It only looks like what it does because you are looking at it from the INSIDE of the universe. From the outside, 6th dimensionally, it is the breach out of the Multiverse.

Think like a 2d square on the inside of a sphere. What would a hole to the other side look like, if you couldn't go 3d to pass through it to the outside of the sphere?

So when you think of the Kun Peng, you are viewing the god as a fish but when you "pass through" it turns into a bird. This is why it encompasses everything.

The "Pillar" in the concordant plane isn't a "hole". It is actually the ENTIRE SKIN OF REALITY. There isn't anything inside the pillar. Everything is inside the pillar because it's dimensionally bigger. You are INSIDE the pillar. That pillar is far larger than you can imagine, because it's actually outside. If you had one more dimension, you'd know how small it was and that you were inside that smallness.


You are inside Kun Peng.

You only see the fish, because you aren't a bird.
