By Any chance are some people implying that God is everyone and everyone is God and That I am god and you are God ect.... You know, That sorta thing?

No one is saying that, and no true practitioner of tassawuf beleives that.

In most cases, this kind of knowledge is not elaborated on in the public sphere. The reason: people mis-interpret the language of tassawuf, and then based on that mis-interpretation, they come to ignorant conclusions, and sometimes make blasphemous statements for or against tassawuf and the awliya.

the concept of Fana is a universal concept in tassawuf, but the understanding of it usually comes after one has been intiated into a tarriqa and been accepted as a mureed of a qualified mursheed. If you are having trouble grasping the concept of fana, and wish to understand it or even obtain it, FIND A SHEIKH. Do not make the internet your mursheed, do not search the anals of the web for this knowledge because you can easily become misguided. Just as many salafi brothers have tryed to acquire this knowledge on their own and when they witness deviancies which exist the became disgruntled at any group under the banner of tassawuf.
