I understand where you're coming from, Rie. I have some exercises that you may find very helpful.
Look into a mirror and consider that you are actually the reflection and the one staring is really you.
It is important to understand that this not any more or less of an illusion than your everyday experience of this physical world. You are not the body, the body is an extension - to think that you are the body, to identify with the body, is akin to holding a diamond in the hands and thinking that you are the diamond.
Another technique which may be of some value to you is to consider that you are just a mirror. This is actually the reality. We are just a mirror that reflects the objective reality. However, our experience is not of the objective reality, our experience is a subjective one - what we are actually experiencing in life is the reflection within ourselves, us being the mirror.
The belief that God is a vibration is a much more developed perspective than seeing God as some old man in the sky, however, it is also not entirely correct. God is all things and nothing simultaneously. Language is dual in nature but God is non-dual so trying to explain God in language is like trying to push the entire universe through your front door. However, it is possible to use language to guide you to God - I will try.
There is a poem that I wrote a few years ago: “Our bodies are moving, our minds are still, and our Soul is conscious.” This is a very profound and significant poem - it accurately describes every moment to ever exist. Our bodies are always moving because this is the nature of form. Our bodies exist in space. Space is like a canvas upon which form resides. Our minds are always still because our minds are not a form, they are a canvas upon which thoughts move. Thoughts are the forms of the mind. Our Soul is conscious - notice that Soul is singular and capitalized while bodies and minds are plural and lowercase. The Soul, as I describe it here, is consciousness itself.
“The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.”

The reason I am getting into this right now is because I'm going to show you where God is in all of this. When I say our bodies are moving, well, we normally see our bodies as separate. God's body is the totality of movement in the universe - God's body is movement itself. God's mind is stillness itself.
When light shines through a prism, it appears to split into distinct colors; it is actually still one light however it appears to be many. This is a great metaphor to explain to how the universe is one being, yet there appear to be many within it.
God is ourselves fully realized. It is not that I can become God or you can become God, because in order to reach such a level you must completely transcend the ego - at that point there is no me and no you at all, there is only us. When I say us, I mean it all-inclusively. There is no them, there is only us. We are God. There is no there, there is only here.
This is not a third density understanding.
