Just as many, absolutely -- as we can imagine... Since the Universe (and 
whatever came out of its origin in the zero-point of absolutely infinite 
potential) is infinitely divisible. Isn't it?

Wanna continue playing these games? :-) Chew on this...

How many absolute infinities or infinite sets are there if we infinitely 
divide infinity or an infinite set of infinities? (Ref: Cantor)

How many absolute cardinal or ordinal numbers are there between absolute zero 
and absolute infinity?

If Pi is an absolutely constant fractional number representing the ratio of 
the diameter to the radius of a circle (which I'm sure it is:-) -- how many 
absolute cardinal and ordinal numbers are there in the arithmetical expression of 
that ratio?

How many absolute radial angles of spin can there be around an absolute 
zero-point? 

If each such spin angle has an independent zero-point center, how many 
absolute zero-points can there be in an absolute zero-point? 

How many absolute zero-points can there be on a single circle of spin force 
(motion=angular momentum) of zero-diameter? 

How many on all spin angles of such circular momentum?

Doesn't theosophy teach that Parabrahm represents the "Absolute" out of which 
Brahma sprang -- and that there is a Paraparabrahm (another Absolute?) out of 
which Parabrahm sprang -- and so on in an endless series of Absolutes? 
Aren't each of them "The Absolute" with relation to its particular Cosmic 
creations? 

Is not each such universe and everything in it a reflection of the same monad 
that rested in its Absolute zero-point of origin? 

Wouldn't that make the Absolute itself (out of which this Universe sprang, 
among infinite others) a Monad that can replicate itself infinitely into or be 
descended from other series of Absolute Monads? 

Is not that primal Monad and each of its reflected Monads an absolute reality 
-- as the necessary root of everything?

(To get back to the original statement that kicked off this whole 
discussion.) Doesn't all that make it absolutely obvious that "the Absolute is relative, 
and the Relative is absolute"?

Want more questions? 

Of course, if you have valid reason to doubt or disbelieve either Theosophy, 
metaphysical reality and its logical requisites and prerequisites, or Cantor's 
infinite set mathematics, or even Mandelbrot's fractal mathematics -- what 
more is there to say -- or ask? :-)

P.S. I love to argue with people who think only in linear or absolute terms, 
and can't grasp that imaginary numbers are just as real as rational or 
irrational numbers... That is, if theosophy is true. (However, I don't think you 
fall entirely in that category.) <\;-)>
