who or what is the supreme being of the World of Darkness cosmology?

just as the title says folks,

i have been confused as to what is the supreme being of WoD. is it the I AM THE I AM or is it bondeye?

also apparently any being can become the supreme being of a cosmology similar to WoD by transcending to the void?

i am very confused to say the least.

The supreme being is I AM THAY I AM. Also the Void is an aspect of the Wyrm. And there’s gods above him as well.
 
so the I AM THAT I AM is the supreme being and the void is an aspect of this 'wyrm' thing? and when you say 'theres god above him as well' do you mean gods above the Wyrm or the I AM THAT I AM?

Gaia, Jade Emperor, Bondye, and Brahman is what I’m referring to
 
Pretty sure Buddha is at the top of the heap, and technically speaking anyone can become a Buddha afaik so the verse transcends itself 💀
 
Coming back to this thread after a while, I've learned that Buddha is essentially a form of the Godhead through which I AM THAT I AM interacts with the verse. Afaik Bondye and I AM THAT I AM are pretty much the same thing on account of Bondye more or less being a Vodou interpretation of the Gnostic conceptualization of the true God, so idk why their profiles are separate. As for anybody theoretically becoming the supreme being, it's essentially the same concept of attaining Buddhahood afaik -- in essence returning to the natural state of oneness with the whole of existence. Therefore, Buddha and other Godheads (including ascended Mages) are second from the top, with I AM THAT I AM being the culmination of all the verse.

TL;DR: I AM THAT I AM is the Tier 0 God of the verse/the verse in itself, and all other supreme beings are its High 1-A Godheads
