Hearing this a year later but this thinking gives my spirit oxygen...thank you. We are 82 and 85 with our little group🥰

If G-d is everything, and infinite, obviously including the world, I don’t know how the divine enters the world “in human form” as if from somewhere else, because there cannot be any outside. How can G-d become “other than G-d”, when there is nothing but G-d? There is clearly a LOT more to the inside that anyone has ever dreamed. The question for Christianity that emerges from this idea of wholeness, is how canJesus be different from anyone else, except insofar as he understood his oneness with the Father in a way that most of us do not. In our talk here we stop just short of what seems inevitably to be the conclusion of this idea: that we are not “ entwined” with G-d.... we ARE G-d. Thus, we cling to duality: there’s G-d and then there us. The Upanishads and Buddhism made the leap more than a thousand years ago. Still, I realize there are plausible arguments for duality and pluralism- “we are cells in the body of G-d” etc. I don’t know. I’m not making an argument here, I am actually asking these questions.
