According to Hindu teachings, as there is nothing but God because of God’s infinite nature. So Creation itself is a form of deception called Maya. Because although God has become all things, that fact is veiled to us, and that veiling is the deception. An analogy is gold jewelry - to the average person, a jewelry show is filled with thousands of pieces of jewelry. But to a jeweler, there’s just the same gold in different shapes. So, to Hindu thought, is the universe and the world around is - all God. In fact it’s said that what makes a saint is the loss of that veil of deception. They can actually see the divine that makes up all things, which is why they are constantly in a state of prayer and divine intoxication - not in some heaven, but right here.
Christian mystics, about the same, not in the particulars, but the general ideas you so beautifully describe. Thanks.
