[WoB] The God Beyond and the Beyond

[Botanica she/her]

The concept of the God Beyond has been bugging me for some time, and I finally got a sharable answer from Brandon via Reddit message:

The God Beyond means, basically, the God who lives in the Beyond. The Beyond is a term for the place where souls go after death--in Secret History, it's the place they stretch and get drawn too. So the God Beyond would reference a God who is beyond our understanding, beyond the places even the Shards can see. In the Beyond.

It is only a theory in the cosmere. Nobody has proof of a God Beyond. But it would be monotheistic God, instead of the way god sometimes refers to the Parshendi Gods or even Honor/Cultivation, which implies more of a pantheon of very strong beings. 

 

I think this clarifies the relatinship between the God Beyond and the Beyond. A problem solved!

Huh, so the god beyond is kinda like our god

Yeah, this has been my understanding of those things for some time now. I think we've seen hints (outside of books) that this is the case, but it's nice to get it in plain text, straightforward and all.
