Does God live outside of time? The traditional view has been that God is timeless in the sense of being outside time altogether; that is, he exists but does not exist at any point in time and he does not experience temporal succession.
Is time the same in heaven? The time and the space in heaven is not the same as the time and the space in this universe, but the relationship between spacetime in heaven and spacetime in this universe in shrouded in mystery.29
BB_snickers: God is you, your mind is his/hers. There is no outside, except as an idea or concept. What god experiences is all things, everywhere.
Sometimes you can find him/her hiding in a banana or a beehive. He/she is always where you are looking for him/her.
Can we fathom God?
147:4) We cannot fathom the greatness of our God, but He has certainly left us testimony. Science tells us that our universe is beyond our comprehension in its vastness and that it is still expanding! No wonder the Psalmist said “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. His greatness is unsearchable.”

Like trying to grasp the infinite.
The King David Psalms are about god being the mind/soul, not the brain, but the mind and soul. One requires a little expertise to understand the translation of Psalms, mostly because religion has severely limited them and used them as god's punishment, which of course is not truth.
His greatness is your greatness. Search as you will.

In the Beginning, G-d created the Heavens and the Earth.
"In the Beginning" refers to space, time, Heaven, Earth. "G-d created" proves that H- exists outside of time, space, Heaven, and Earth. G-d couldn't create time, the Heavens and the Earth, if He was within them. That would be like saying a chicken gave birth to itself, like what the church does with their man-deity: not a possibility.
So, G-d existed "before"? But that doesn't make sense either, because time didn't exist, since there was a "beginning". Then, G-d exists outside of time, Heaven, and Earth, outside of space. We have no concept what that means. We are G-d's creation(s). H- said that no one may see H-m and live. It isn't because G-d is "hiding". H- does no such thing! It is because we are incompatible with what H- is, H-s existence. It is a bit like accelerating protons towards the heaviest unstable element, until one makes contact and there is a huge release of energy, which causes more impacts, which releases even more energy. We all know the concept. Much like the paragraph lengths that I have written here, becoming exponentially larger. We came from G-d. We are all made of "G-d stuff", whatever that is. H- can interact with us, but we cannot interact with H-m, lest we die: G-d exists outside of time. (And space.)

There is no 'time' in Heaven as we understand it, except perhaps as a very localized reference to each Angel, because you have to schedule your day, even when it lasts an eternity.
Well, God and time are imaginary, both have no real existence. But both are useful and necessary for our life. It has been told in the scriptures that God is beyond time. According to the scriptures, there are many worlds in this universe and the speed of time is different in those worlds. In some world 100 years upon Earth is equal to one day upon there.
According to the scriptures our soul is trapped in 6 bodies (Sthool, Sookchhm, Kaaran, Mahaa-Kaaran, Kaivalya, Hans), there is a different world for these six bodies and the speed of time is also different there.

So, imaginary = illusion, yes? It's rather difficult to "imagine" god but real easy to imagine humans. Given this fact, it leads me to this question... Is god the illusion or are we? How are illusions useful?

Have you ever read The Law of One?

The bible was considerably butchered by the Romans. While most of the bible actually refers to one's mind (where all things are happening), the translations, made mostly by Romans seeking power, affected those translations to keep people separate from god (in their mind) and to maintain control over them.
There are, according to The Law of One and other disciplines, indeed 6 so called bodies that are called densities. Each density is a reference to the amount of light that body becomes on its journey back to god. Humans are currently in 3rd density.
