What occurs to me in regards to your inquiry is that God is beyond anything we can conceive of as nde experiencers report and nothing in our embodied state can adequately represent Her/Him/It. Any attempt to reify ( it him her) creates a demigod and not the absolute. God by definition has no beyond.Please this is important
[T]he language of theism gets God's melody right, but the sense that is hidden in his final depths rises above it. In technical terms, God is the object of kataphatic theology (what can be spoken), the via affirmativa; whereas Godhead is the object of apophatic theology (what cannot be spoken), the via negativa. The line is not hard and fast, but priests and prophets tend to focus on God, mystics on the Godhead. And the latter tell us that in those rare, supernatural moments when the Godhead is directly disclosed to man, what man then sees is that he cannot understand its character at all. It is not that depths of its nature remain opaque and ineffable; its simplicity precludes ladling things out this way. Its entire nature reposes in depth unfathomable. So the incomprehensibility of the Godhead becomes evident at the precise moment that its nature is most clearly apprehended - there is no way to state the point less paradoxically. In the light of mystical vision, the Godhead's hiddenness is not dispelled; it appears. Not that there are two Gods, of course. It is just that his/her single nature does not stop where our minds do.
That just sounds like God in a different form I'm talking about a separate entity beyond God
What makes you say thatBy definition, that is impossible.
It's my belief that there's always something beyond even if our limited minds are unable to fully or properly concierge it
This is how I feel, what if there is another dimension or layer of reality after death, but there is something beyond that, and then beyond that etc kind of crazy too think aboutIt's my belief that there's always something beyond even if our limited minds are unable to fully or properly concierge it
What if there are things beyond and God is still godBy definition God is the greatest possible being, there is nothing beyond. If there anything beyond the given God that being is no longer God.

Just because you can't fully concieve what God is doesn't mean there isn't anything beyondI don't think that's how it works...there cannot be anything beyond. Even though I can't fully conceive of what God is, by definition there cannot be anything beyond her/him/them.
But that's exactly what I'm saying, whatever God is there cannot be anything beyond god, because if there were anything beyond that God whatever is beyond would now be God. God is the greatest possible being, the boss of all bosses, the big cheese, etc.Just because you can't fully concieve what God is doesn't mean there isn't anything beyond
