All this talk about consciousness and different dimensions and God has really messed with my head. I am a simpleton, and I can't deal with so much theoretical talk- I just wanna live a good life dammit!

I know what you mean.
Fortunately, it doesn’t get any simpler than non-duality. It is all the dualism, and trying to make sense of it’s nonsense that gets confusing. I had just about given up on all this speculative spiritual mumbo jumbo until I came across a book called The Disappearance of the Universe a few years back, which is a book about the non-dualistic teaching called A Course in Miracles. Put simply, the core of true non-dualistic teachings is that non-duality is truth, duality is illusion. If you are familiar with the story of the prodigal son, then you know the story of this universe. We seemingly left oneness to experiment trying to live separated from our source. (Note: God had nothing to do with making this universe, if God did, God would be a dualist instead of a non-dualist.) The way home is in learning to forgive without compromise, because forgiveness is what dissolves the illusory separation that is dualism. So, the simple message is: live life in whatever way you think you prefer, just remember to forgive.
I recently started a series of videos on my website. The second episode is called “One is the Loneliest Number?” You might want to check that out; it is less than 4 minutes long.
