Agreed, feel free to check out the rest of my page!
When you see yourself as equal as God then it means that you still want to rule in the material world.
God means Ishvara or Controller so your conditioned condition does not cease.
I became one with the universe and looked at my girlfriend and instead of seeing something separate from myself, I saw myself. Once I realized I was looking at myself, I was able to put thoughts into her (my) head. It was like I saw her soul with my soul.

Find a way to break the bonds that the ego has placed in your life and see other people as yourself.
See the dogs as yourself, the cats, the trees, the planet, the sun, the galaxy, the universe. It is all love.
You are part of it and you are it for all is one.
When you look into the eyes of someone be convinced that on a deep level, you are looking into the eyes of yourself. At this point you will be the observer observing the observer observing the observer. You are the observer. You are observing yourself. When you look at anything, you are observing yourself, always.
I do believe that God is beyond good and bad. I believe he is probably beyond love and hate too. Love is what connects us and I couldn't have experienced telepathy w/o it.
I think God just is and in an effort to figure out what this ISness was, we were created. I think God is a formless infinity. A realm of infinite possibilities w/o form. It became aware of itself then desired to know itself giving birth to forms of light and love. This light and love became further quantified to galaxies to individual stars to us to cells then to atoms in a fractal universe.
I think you are confusing what he means due to the semantics of the word "God." There is no evidence of any external being controlling the happenings of the universe and making sure everything is running according to some plan.
I can say that I have a hand, a foot, a brain etc but who is the "I" to which these things belong? If the "I" is not something physical then it must be something to do with the consciousness. The thinker behind the thoughts? Thoughts constantly come and go like waves on the beach and are impossible to suppress. (Try it, you will be unable to stop your thoughts at will, random thoughts will keep popping into your head). It is like breathing, your consciousness can control your breaths but most of the time it is left to the subconscious (which is a product of the universe and is what it is due to evolution and the nature of the universe). Your thoughts and actions are happening to you just as much as you are making them happen.
