I'm not so sure what we consider creation involves "thinking" in the usual sense of the word. God/Higher Self/One/Source/All That Is/Brahman/Consciousness doesn't have to think -- it knows things into existence. Raw awareness is the sensation of knowing -- it doesn't necessarily involve thinking. For most, that means your innate awareness that you exist. All who are self aware intrinsically know that they are aware and that they exist. You can doubt whether that is a subjective or objective perception, but you can't deny that you exist.

Because Consciousness is omniscient, all logical and illogical potentials are known, and known absolutely. All conceivable realities exist because of this. You are one of those probabilities -- God imagining/knowing he/she/it is you. Because this is a simulation, you are not really separate from God, even though it appears to be that way. And if separation isn't real, it means everything interpenetrates everything. So God is alot like a hologram in a way. If you break a hologram into a bunch of pieces, each shard will still contain the whole image, albeit in a smaller representation.

When you said you had trouble KNOWING you were God. You said absolutely the key word. Your so busy KNOWING what it is like to be you, you aren't KNOWING what it is like to be God. But feel free to relate to your essential essence in any way you like. Sometimes I like to relate to God as a separate individual. Then I can "let go, and let God" because I choose to believe I'm being taken care of. Just so long as you don't encumber your belief in a all powerful diety with wrathful qualities. You don't want to punish yourself, of course, and you always want to remember that the separation between us/you/god/universe isn't real.
