God isn't really fragmented, per se.
An example, your foot is not fragmented from you.
You are not fragmented from your foot ...your foot is a fragment or part or extension of you...all part of you...part of your body.
Does that help at all?

Nor should you! Nor do you have to!
Say you hold a seed. There is the seed, the invisible potential tree in the seed, and the tree....and that
which was before the seed existed.
You don't have to go to that place before the seed was.
Leave that to those that are into the Void, they have their reasons.
It's not for me...been there...and now I SEE why the Creator created all 'this'.
Being alone, the Only One, the One Consciousness is lonely and boring...thus, this epic existence here and on
umimagineable different planes or dimensions...the Nothingness is pretty boring, lemme tell ya...there is nothing THERE!
Except You...only You.
Can I say something...ignore the fear....fear likes you to
pay attention to it!
Fear is a stupid thing, unless a bear is chasing you...then it helps with adrenaline.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Hi Miss Hepburn,
I just wanted to use your post and quote to say Hi to all and to express how much I enjoyed those words.
It's funny how years ago I couldn't read 2 pages of the Gita and now it is has become full of meaning. I found a wonderful commentary on it that suits me and where I'm at nicely.
Anyways, a big hello to you and all!

Thank you sweetie...I am crying again (dammit). 
I want to hold the seed...the potential...I want to embrace Shiva with all my heart...all my soul.
I can only conceptualise what this 'nothing' may be...oh wai...I can't.
I just had a feeling it would be very boring and lonely there.
Aum Namah Shivaya

If I may share....The Self knows the Self. The mind conceptualizing is not you and it's not the Self. Knowing this removes another layer of which somewhere underneath lies the Self.
The best we can do is to dive into the minds thoughts and see thru them for what they are...the mind clinging to its sense of I.

You are being-consciousness-bliss. Not knowing this, being appears as ego and consciousness as the mind and bliss as the search for happiness.
You are not those things, so they don't exist. You are being-consciousness-bliss.

Namaste.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand you. I tried to and became confused.
If people want to, they can move this conversation to the thread I created in this section to explain who I am and what I am about so you all can understand me, help me and get a better perspective of my heart, soul and what we're dealing with here. Without knowing this, nobody can help me:

The mind thinks the Self is "nothing" but you are not that. Underneath the layers of the minds thoughts lie you and you know yourself and you are being-consciousness-bliss.
That's all I was trying to say.

Namaste.
Thank you, but how can you know yourself if it's under the layers of mind?
Is what I am feeling now what it is? Even though it's still in form?
*still I wish somebody can join me in my private Bhakti-party....
Aum Namah Shivaya

The Self knows itself not thru the mind. The Self is consciousness.
