  It seems so close to the ideals of Buddhism. To a baby, you are as much
the baby as the baby is you. This recalls a quote from Teddy about how when
he was six he realized that Booper was God and her milk was God and she was
"just pouring God into God."

This would be strongly in contrast to the ideals of Buddhism which lacks any
God whatsoever. It does however strongly resonate with the upanisadic view
of brahman and these are texts which occasionally creap into JDS's
literature.
