Can quantity exist outside of space and time? I was thinking about Anselm's ontological argument for god where he defines god as "that which no greater can be conceived". This implies that god is omnipresent across space and time (to be constrained in space and time would be an imperfection). If god is omnipresent in these axes then can he be quantified in any real way?

A blank canvas is every painting imaginable and not.

A canvas brushed with one stroke of paint is every painting imaginable minus every other one you can’t because of the mark.

No canvas but the air “nothingness” it relies on as a medium is every creation or piece of art that can and can’t be created.

That medium of nothingness is god.

That which spawned infinity.

That which is you.

That which is…

Which is also not…

That’s what I believe god is

That could make sense that could not it’s 3:30 in the morning and I’m stoney baloney lol

And to answer your question no I don’t believe god had quantity or form but within that lack of contains the true infinity of things.

Not in terms that were able.

Probably something like 1/0=error.

It reminds me of the idea. If we are 2 dimensional beings and limited by all 2 dimensional limits, the God is 3+ dimensions, based on your definition. It's not something I can fathom.

Why is being located at every space and every time better than not being...? Is being six feet tall better than being five tall? Is being 50 years old better than being 40 years old? Is this principle only apply to occupying all of space and time vs. occupying less-or-no space and time at all?

Please read my poem? If the totality of consciousness is God, and time is a circle more than a line, then he is infinite in life-span and in greatness, and we are the fingers of his hand. God pronouns are complicated.. Should probably be they. Elohim, God, him, her, and they.
