The Great Domain
The major tenet of my core philosophy is the idea that "everything exists."
To put it simply, it is like inverse nihilism, where instead of life being meaningless and empty, where nothingness is the fate of all things and the void becomes the dominant force and truth of existence, nothingness is rendered as the only thing that truly doesn't exist.
Everything else exists either as form, idea, or something substantial, and there are an infinite amount of "things" that exist.
I call this philosophy "infinitism" because of its complete opposition to nihilism. Kind of like how the opposite of Zero in mathematics would be best represented by the concept of infinity. "The opposite of nothing is everything" so to speak.
Now, when I say everything exists, I don't mean everything exists all in one place and all in one time. Everything that exists exists in its respective time and place, or its respective "domain." Just like you'd never find Los Angeles existing in the same place on earth as New York City, or Julius Caesar existing at the same point in time as Barack Obama, you'd also never see the Star Wars Universe exist in the same realm as ours.
Every universe, every realm of fiction or fantasy, every mythology or Pantheon, every conceptual place or circumstance, every possible thing imaginable and unimaginable, exists somewhere, in some way, or at some point in time.
What the Creator did, from my belief system, is that He partitioned the realms and bound them in their respective domains, where instead of the chaos of everything existing all in one place and without harmony or order, He "split infinity" into domains and realms that have laws and boundaries that create an order and harmony into an otherwise infinitely complex system.
Our world can access these realms indirectly, often through our stories, imagination, and media. That doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means that they are separate, distinct worlds that for the sake of order we only have indirect access to.
It's kind of a philosophy of "if you can imagine it, it exists somewhere in the scope of existence." Or even as just an idea. Ideas exist by their own merit, though.
There are many worlds we still haven't accessed, just like there are many ideas we still haven't accessed. Countless, even.
This philosophy of "everything exists," every pantheon, mythology, religion, ideology, work of fiction or fantasy, all of it exists somewhere in some way and some method but partitioned in their respective domains, what this does is that it renders the void as the only true nonexistence.
"Nothingness doesn't exist" to put it simply.
The reason I believe the Creator created such a system is such an infinite, limitless system would make the domain the Creator is sovereign over limitless and infinitely expansive, and such a domain completely conquers the void.
In my mind the void is God's main enemy, or truly the enemy of all things. To conquer it is the ultimate victory, where nothingness is entirely vanquished.
The Creator isn't threatened by any force or idea from any realm of His creation. His throne and sovereignty so greatly rises above any of them that He is truly unusurpable. Unoverthrowable. Any threat is insignificant compared to How vast He is.
So nihilism is the only philosophy I fundamentally disagree with on every level because I am on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I am an infinitist. I believe that everything has absolute meaning and purpose, we just don't always know what those purposes are, and I believe everything exists in some way, and that existence will always exist.
I believe that the void is the only thing that truly doesn't exist, and any void or lack that is allowed to exist exists solely so that it can be conquered and filled.
That is what I believe the creator is more than almost anything. He is the conquerer of the void. The filler of emptiness. The remedy to lack and loss.
