my view, and thanks for asking, is that while nothing is external to god, god is also an essential part of who I am. The paradox here, is that I am both differentiated (individual), and undifferentiated (god). I am god (Father), myself (Son), and my experience (Holy Spirit), expressed in states and stages and dimensions of consciousness.
