Botanica Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 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: Quote 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! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argent Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
