Monism is the belief that there is only one thing. Mono — one.

And yes, I described it correctly. if you’re a spiritual or religious monist, nothing can exist outside of the Infinite (God) — thus there is only one thing and it is God.

For God to be Omnipotent and Omniscient, it would be necessary for god to be Infinite — without boundaries in time or space. Otherwise, there would be someplace to get out of God’s sight and away from God’s power.

If that is true, it is simply not possible for anything to be “outside” God, or “Not an aspect of the Infinitude of God.” Thus, there is not God and, merely God as.

“God as me, in me, is me.”

You did indeed describe it correctly from the point of belief. It’s just that it’s usually developed from the opposite direction, ie, “how could it not be”?
