Believing is this idea will get you into trouble if you're wanting to manifest in your reality.
Looks like there are two ways to define god there.

Number 1 can let us be manifesters since, I think, we also would be part of or able to be one with ultimate reality.

Number 2 - does kind of put some sort of power or being outside of us and may not allow us to manifest whatever. However, those that believe in a god that is outside of creation may not be held down or be thinking there's nothing we can do for ourselves. And those believers will also say, god helps those that help themselves. That is, god will help you follow your will when it is mostly good for everyone around you. Wheather you put a god outside of yourself or not, in this way, will not get you hindered - since what ever is the best goals for yourself, would also be what the god outside of you is going to help you with. Just saying, I not a believer of a god outside of creation.
