In one sense and maybe the only sense WE are ourselves TGAOTU being OUR OWN personal universe.
Am i being too deep for myself?

No, you are not.
We all have a divine spark within us, it is just a case of realising this, finding it and fanning it.
How can it be any other way when God created everything?
If you paint a picture is part of you not reflected in that picture? When you gain a child is part of you not in that child?
Could I recommend a quick browse of the Gospel of Thomas (the bit about rocks and wood).

If God created everything, did he also create Nothing?
If there was no existence before His creation of it, the ability not to exist must also have been created in potentiality as surely as the ability to exist. So non-existence must likewise have been a divine creation. And as the Divine partakes to the fullest and most perfect extent in all aspects of existence, should he not also partake in non-existence at the same time?

You are assuming, I think, that our existance is the only existence. Yes/no?
This has been a mental gymnastic area for me for a couple of years now, but as my esoteric theory on all of this is limited, could you please phrase any relpy in a manner that a simple man like myself can understand?
