Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Some logical views:
If you died, you would not be alive now. You could have a "clinical death". Dying means gone. No turning back.
You are talking about your experience about who you think God is. As you pointed out, "things appeared to be" or "seemed to be", that is the language of interpreting what we are experiencing.
God cannot create matter. This is logical, reasonable. Why?
Evolutionists and Creationists cannot explain the "beginning" in a rational way, some believe in a "supernatural beginning" which is not consistent with the first law of conservation of energy. Some others talk about a big explosion, not realizing that something had to cause it. The law of "cause and effect" cannot be ignored or used only when convenient. If matter cannot be created the logical solution is that matter always existed. This logical solution is fully consistent with the cyclical model of time which is well known by Eastern cultures, which by the way; are the oldest cultures in the world (with quite a bit of wisdom and knowledge as we in the west are finding out).
The three aspects of time; past, present and future must be present in any reasonable explanation of time. Time being movement from being to becoming cannot be linear, cannot be a "straight line". When we think about a "beginning" we are not following this logical thought.
The western world has chosen to ignore this view and rather follow contradictory beliefs. God is in the realm of the unlimited. God being beyond physical matter does not deal with matter at all. God is an incorporeal entity, a soul, just like we, humans are souls with a bodily experience, even though we may believe that we are bodies.
In soul consciousness we can experience God. In body consciousness, we can only talk about Him.
