Claim. Sun Myung Moon teaches that God has no form — He is infinitely large and infinitely small simultaneously, indeterminate in body, and present everywhere precisely because He has no body to confine Him.
Elaboration. The formlessness claim does double duty in CSG. Apophatically, it pushes back against folk-religious anthropomorphism: “if God had a body, how tall would He be?… How inconvenient it would be if He had to lumber about like that!” (1.1.-the-incorporeal-god, 138-167, 1986.1.21). The God of CSG is not a magnified human.
Constructively, formlessness is what makes God’s omnipresence possible: “Since God has no form, He can pass through things at will without any problem” (ibid). The very property that prevents God from being seen is what lets His love reach everywhere — a thesis csg-omnipresence-mediated-by-love-not-power develops further.
The claim sets up the central paradox the rest of the chapter resolves: a formless God who nevertheless needs a body to govern the physical world (see csg-god-needs-body-via-adam-and-eve).
