@rocky:

i can understand your confusion, but what you wrote indicates that you don't quite grasp the concept of unity yet. you are aware of the idea, but you are trying to approach it from a binary mindset.

for example:

"oh riiiiight, so i create my own agenda...and serve myself a graduation...so i don't need god's hand to take me out of the grave but i'll crawl out myself..."

if you are god, and god is you, then your hand is god's hand. so you will crawl out of "the grave," as you say, but you will indeed require god's hand to do it since god's hand is at the end of your arm. thus any paradox that exists does so only because you aren't looking at the issue from a detached enough viewpoint.

your sarcasm is a self-defense measure, as is your need to classify the ideas here as "pantheist." you're still locked in your old system, and that system hasn't equipped you with what you need to understand this one.

you can't touch both edges of the pool at the same time. you have to let go of the side you're on and trust that the waters will support your weight before you reach the other side. the faith that god exists independent of religion is yet faith, is it not?
