We aren't "separate" from the Creator in the same way that a drop of water is not separate from the ocean. Like the drop of water is to the ocean, we are a subset of the Creator.

Most definitely agree on the ripple effects. I prefer to disambiguate the notion of "alternative partitions of reality" from "geometric, physical measurement axes" like height and width and depth. I'll use the word "density" to describe the alternative partitions of reality".
