I think the reasoning gets confused in that God is not like a person, it is more like pure creative energy in my opinion. Exapnsive, creative energy. Our egos', I think, are like interference programs (filters) that allow for the illusion of a fragmented experience of the whole. Piece of consciousness relating to itself. I think to "be on purpose" is to be in line, so to speak, with that undertow of expansive, creative energy in all its organized facets. Some call this the feild where all possible, infinite intentions can manifest through our fragmneted vantage points.
I don't see my self as seperate, just fragmented in a sense.
