There is no requirement for God to be metaphysical or omnipresent - that is simply how human beings choose to describe him
God could just be a physical being with superhuman strength and intelligence with zero metaphysical or omipresent capability
Actually God is a term that is subject to equivocation, and as equivocable to anything we contain this under the word "omnipresent". God is a word, empty of meaning, thus underlying all definitions and is intrinsically a center point of all of them as all words are inherently void of meaning in and of themselves.

Of God is defined by people, and people are images (variations) of God, then people defining God is God defining himself within time and space.
What you say can be restated equally, as such:

If God is defined by people, and if people are variations of God, then variations of God define God.

Seems like a trivial definition at best and a recursive definition at the least.

For those who have had thoughts and experiences pertaining to God there is no need to explain or define God.

To those who have not, there is no God to explain.

Yes, it can be restated in a variety of ways...and yes the definition is trivial...and so is the next one and the next one...what is not trivial is that the definition is recursive and recursion is definition.

That we know just by "knowing".


Thus God is self reflective by nature.

There are too many definitions. God goes from 000 to holy, holy, holy and the interpretations of the ancient texts approach infinite.

God is to be experienced but once God is experienced, the experience will be from an unseen source. Is the source the human mind or an external source of a kind (what kind?)

Experience is recursive.

An impression is imprinted on formlessness. This impressed formlessness intern projects variations of the imprinted form. Thus we are left with God being recursive by nature as the reception projection dualism is the grounding of being itself.

God as defined is recursive. But God is not limited to definition.

There is no God, creator. That is because God becomes subject to time if there was a moment at which only God exists and there was also a moment at which God and the creation exist. Time itself is the subject of creation, therefore, we are dealing with a dilemma that says God needs time to create time.

If God is not above time and subject to time than God is no omnipresent. Considering time is tautological in nature, as in one thing is expressed many ways (stone, people, even words), then time is circular and as circular subject to a form beyond itself. This circularity is reflected through an infinite variety of loops as a reflection of one loop as looping is constant.

The ancient philosophers observed this in nature and within man's up and down moods, more modern philosophers, specifically wittgenstein, observed this in the tautological nature of symbols (one symbol manifests into a variation of that symbol).

Tautological in explanations maybe but time seems to have different explanations that are often contradictory and wrong.

Time it tautological. We see one phenomena replicated into many variations.

Stone to many stones. (Elements of various sorts).
Organisms to many organisms.
Evolution.

Really, void negating itself into being is only subjective?

In physics a vacuum negates itself into randomly appearing particles....being does come from nothing.

Void negating itself into something is objective. It is a phenomenon that occurs constantly.

And the subconscious, void, does not negate itself into consciousness?

Emptying the mind does not result in spontaneous images and forms appearing form nowhere, no different than the vaccuum in physics.
