Imagine the universal consciousness as a tree, and each person as a leaf on the tree. From the leaf's perspective, all the other leaves are different and separate, and it thinks it is alone. But from the tree's perspective, in one sense each leaf is
part of the tree and fulfilling its own duty as a leaf, but in another sense they
ARE the tree -- it is the tree's life-giving functions that keep the leaf alive, and you can't separate the two.
So it's just a question of how you identify yourself -- the leaf (ego/body-mind), or the tree (consciousness/awareness). If you identify yourself with the tree, then it means that you created everything and everybody -- including your current ego/body-mind. If you still identify with the leaf, then you can still think that your one leaf created all the other leaves and the tree as well, but of course that reality is distorted because it is from a limited leaf's perspective. That's called solipsism, which Steve warned about in one of his posts.
In more practical terms, everything and everyone come from the same consciousness, but they each reflect different "slices" of the same consciousness pie. Using the same analogy, in one sense all the slices are separate and unique, but in another sense they are all the same pie. Without the pie there wouldn't be any slices. This consciousness pie is basically the Map/Levels of Consciousness as shown here:

Hope my interpretation of subjective reality clears things up
