It depends on your definitions of "I", and "God". From my understanding, the idea is that separate definitions of "I" and "God" are due to our illusion of separation.

What do you mean by "real"?
What do you mean by "exist"?
Why does there have to be separation?
If there is truly separation, how could the separate beings of "I" and God" ever communicate or experience each other?

Your experience of life is there for you to find the answers you seek. Sacred texts can be useful, but the ultimate sacred text is your own life.
