I guess i could believe everything that was said up until 1:51 when it said that I was apart of the all. If you look at it in the way where "the all" is the God of Christianity, then it would make sense up until 1:51. ' But, i do like how in one line is says that only when you understand the All, you will be in awe of its magnificence; then later, it goes on to say that the All can never be understood, because it is unknowable. That is just hilarious. I can understand if the All is eternal, but when you say that everything is of the All, and it is eternal, then how were people created to be the All. Well actually, that does make sense., because many people confuse "eternal" and "infinite". In this case, everyone can be created to be eternal. Eternal means it has no end, but it doesn't necessarily mean that these eternal people had no beginning. But the claim that everyone was infinite, and it contradicts itself, because then the Great All would just be creating different copies of itself. And you cant create the infinite.
"It is difficult to discuss the true nature of the All or to describe its true form, for we the perceivers have always experienced it only in part, from a limited point-of-view. "
This Quote says that you cant understand yourself. But if everyone is everyone, and everyone is the great "All" then wouldn't that make is simplistically easy to know in fullness what the All is? This might just be because of my presuppositions of Christianity and an all knowing God, but the quote above does not make sense.
