But then he said everything is conscousness, but that's equivalent to saying that my toaster is consciousness.
I said that everything is in consciousness. Yes, your toaster is in consciousness, and in consciousness alone as far as you can ever know for sure.
I like my interpretation better. It goes like this. Infinite Consciousness exists and we call it God. God creates universes to experience because that's what consciousness does, it experiences. But since God can't fit directly into our universe, God created souls to experience His creation. God gave our souls are given free will and we do the best we can. This way, we are the spark of the divine. We are brothers and sisters, and God is the Father.
This is a nice story, a Myth, and I don't put it down as such. Myths are extraordinarily important pointers to truth.
