"Did you know Schopenhauer and Hegel extensively borrowed from Eastern mysticism to build up Western philosophy?"

Yup. Sure did. And the word "extensively" is debatable.

"Really? That sounds like the description of every God. Outside of the Universe and in absolute control of it. yawn all you've proved is there is a First Cause, a Prime Mover."

The Cosmological Argument actually goes beyond the concepts of Prime Mover and First Cause. This is why Aquinas took Aristotle and baptized him.

You keep using the word "prove." But I think you need to define what you mean by that word. That word can be very slippery in discussions like this and gets equivocated on quite a bit. If you wish to continue this discussion, then please define what kind of "proof" you are referring to.

"Because they were born in Christian societies."

I was born into a society that taught me certain mathematical truths. That doesn't mean that what I was taught is false. Your argument fails to demonstrate what you are implying.
