I have been saying this for ages.
The idea of what god is is a handy way for simple minded people to be able to deal with abstracts. So you end up with.
"God is love" "God is truth" "God is justice" like statements.
An old saying goes that you are or become what you eat but better saying that you absorb from that kind of consciousness so you create that type of creature within.
In yoga also you become what is your object of thinking so you can go up or down consciously speaking.
The more you think about material things and the more you become something material.
On the other hand by concentrating on something sublime you can loose your material chains.
In this way it all become abstract in the way that the physicality is not there anymore.
That however doesn't mean that you are not anywhere.
You certainly are there.
Your consciousness is there so the word abstract become meaningless really.
All really happen is that you are now unchained and free.
You don't have to exist and be stuck inside a body anymore.
