I think you're getting to the problem of infinity here. We humans just cannot grasp infinity, yet we go into infinity with what we'd like to know.
Interesting view. You just said that we all "are", we are part of an energy network that has always existed, and will exist forever, correct?

The thing about God is, he "is, was, and always will be." He wasn't "created", but has simply "existed", similarly as "energy" has always existed. Therefore, in my opinion, it's just as easy for me to believe in God as it would be for you to believe in an eternal energy that flows among us, the tree, animals, etc. It's impossible for humans to know how God truly works, because we are mortal and unable to grasp the concept of infinity, of a being.

I'm just curious, though, in your beliefs, if we are all gods, why has humanity been on an endless cycle of being born, living, and then dying, for thousands (or millions or billions) of years? Why hasn't anyone been able to grasp immortality yet?

Once more, how did life become so complex if no intelligence was behind it? Why is the human body so complicated, yet it runs in perfection and harmony? Why are so many creatures and plants so gorgeous if it happened by chance?
