It is in the imagination of many followers of religion that God has a describable form and is corporeal. This is not in harmony with reason, and I fear this is what dentures many from a belief in God. Indeed God is not corporeal, and is instead the formless underlying principle of all things. He is time and space, but his existence is indifferent to them both. He is the word and law of all reason, but his deepest and absolute nature is untouchable by reason. He is the only master of the chaos inherent in existence past what is conceivable within the illusion of our reality. This is because chaos, and even existence itself, takes place within God, and therefore God is incorruptible to the implications of both

Creation is also, along with many other concepts assigned to God, an illusion. It implies separateness and sequence as limits to God's expression, in that it declares nonexistence followed by existence. Reality was founded in chaos, and attempts at conceiving of the origin are met with chaos (it is inconceivable). While the outer constituents of reality (objects, and relations between objects such as gravity) may conceivably have a beginning and end, the underlying laws of nature and reason (time, dimensions, and mathematics) are interminable

This same idea also applies to death, because it necessitates the idea of sequence. Sequence cannot exist as a limit to our being because our being is owed to God and therefore partakes of his incorruptible immortality. This does not imply that your personality would exist beyond your death. According to this view, both communion with God after death and reincarnation after death are technically correct and technically false.

None of this is truly oc, more the compiling of what I find is reasonable
