Ouch. I would actually say that David Johnston2's statement followed on quite clearly from reading the posts in the thread.
The following is not an attempt to change your mind about anything, but an option for people who would like to combine the Cabal with Infinite Worlds (and/or Space) with a cosmology similar to what you have outlined. It basically hinges on the definitions of "worlds".
- Let's assume there is a single ontological point where the Tree of Life crosses a horizontal plane defining the corporeal world of Assiah.
- Despite the Kabbalistic vertical alignment of "planets", there are corporeal planets too - Neil Armstrong didn't ascend to a higher realm, he simply moved to a different location in Assiah. This is enough to handle GURPS Space campaigns.
- There is nothing to say that the Infinite Worlds cannot all be part of the same horizontal plane of Assiah. The word "parallel" is used in a different context, and what it is parallel to has nothing to do with Kabbalah. In both cases they are analogies to geometric properties and not to be taken literally (Assiah is not two-dimensional).
