Most people would instinctively agree that God is omnipresent, which means God is present everywhere at once. Take the metaphor of God as the ocean and we are each a drop of water. As individual human beings, we are seemingly separated from one another, just as individuated drops of water are. However, when each drop of water merges back with the ocean, it is part of the ocean and yet it is still a drop of water.

Everything is of God. You, me, him, her, they, the trees, plants, insects, animals, minerals and elements are all just energy and a part of God or All That Is. So are our space brothers and everything that exists in the cosmos and beyond. Hence, we are really all one, including the light and the dark.

To quote a passage from The New Relevations: A Conversation with God by Neale Donald Waslch:

Because That Which Is Divine also yearns to experience all of the individual aspects of its Divinity. It wishes to know Itself completely, experientially, and to expand and re-create itself anew - to become a larger and larger version of Itself - and the way that it does this is by entering the Realm of the Relative in Individuated Form (souls).

Divine Spirit emerges from The All as individual projections of The All, in order to have a total experience of All That Is through an endless multitude of distinctive expressions, which you rightly call the breathtaking Miracle of Life.
