We are all the same god. Think of it like this - if god is the ultimate determiner of the universe and every action that occurs is god’s doing, then we as individual physically existing beings are puppets controlled by a puppet master but it’s up to you to decide if you see the self as the puppet master or the puppet.

- there is way to separate yourself and the parts of the universe that are not yourself. If you say that you are the body, then you must ask yourself: what is the body without oxygen? What is the body without the physical laws of the universe? What is the body without the cause of those laws? We are not distinct from the rest of the universe

- you cannot separate the observation and the observer. Everything we experience is constructed by consciousness, we are essentially the creators of our own world
