Hi Kristy,
I hope I may be of help to you. I will answer each part of your understandings in, hopefully, a way which will make sense to you.
Yes we are one. Think of each of us as a part of the prism of light which comes from the purest color of white light. Although there are but seven basic colors, across the prism of light are many trillions of minute variations on those seven basic colors. We are each one of those individual colors. We are therefore part of the original white light, for without it, we would not and could not exist.
This premise is correct and incorrect. Incorrect....The sun is not God. The sun is an extension of God, just as each of us are. We are the eyes which God learns about himself and experiences all. Correct... each is part of the whole, but not in the earthly sense as you understand it.
This premise/theory is closest to "reality". Yes, this is an illusion, designed for us to learn/experience as to experience the darkness and the light in such a manner that we will come to a decision. This decision is which path we desire to take when we move forward through the next three densities. This is an important decision, because the next three densities take billions of years to complete.
Though you may not understand it, and the illusion is designed so you do not, one of the purposes of our existence as a spirit is to further understand ourself. When I say ourself, I mean God, for we are God. In order to understand ourself, this is only part 3 of one level of infinite levels. When you blinked just now, it took more time than this entire lifetime that you think you are living, but are not. When you say you do not desire to become one with God again, you only say so because you see as if with blinders on. If you could see the whole picture, you would see that there is more beauty in what you do not see, for what you see is not real, and the reality is not seeing, but experiencing. In experiencing, we remove distortion from ourselves, and become closer to being pure white light again. Pure white light is love and wisdom, and although you do not understand it now, becoming one with this is the most powerful thing in creation. If you understand love for your children, think about those times when you have felt love on the level of bringing tears to your eyes, sobbing uncontrollably in joy. Multiply that by infinity and you may begin to understand we are at the bottom of the scale of understanding of what "pure love" is. We only begin to understand it, for in this illusion, the purpose is not to learn about love. Our purpose is to make a choice.
Although generally correct, I must note that you seem to have a difficult time being able to break free from the understanding that this "physical" self is real, for you like to describe your understandings as in comparability towards the physical self. The physical self in this illusion is as important to our experience as your car is to you. It is a mode of transportation, a means to move from point a to b. We experience in this illusion with the help of these vehicles, our bodies. They are nothing more than that as your car is, for when one is done, the next one is acquired.
The Law of One is the law of creation. Yes, it may be difficult to understand, but that is part of the illusion. How does one grasp what it is like in Borneo if one has never seen Borneo. How does one grasp the creatures at the bottom f the sea if they have never been to the bottom of the sea. Do not think too hard on this. That will not make you understand it. In order to understand it, you must turn inward, for inside of you are ALL the answers. Having this forum here is nice, kind of a wind to help blow us in the right direction, but ultimately, we are the captains of our own experience. Do not fret if you wish to continue here, for if that is your desire, it shall be so. There is no wrong or right in truth, and in your hear that truth is revealed. When your current incarnate experience is finished, you will make the choice of what you desire to do. No one or thing forces you to do anything you do not wish to do.
If I were to offer advice, it would be to not worry about this. Relax, play with your children, spend time smelling the flowers, doing things you enjoy. Love life. The rest will come to you when it is the right time
I hope I may be of help to you. I will answer each part of your understandings in, hopefully, a way which will make sense to you.

1. Let's say the sun is "God". The sun shoots out rays - the rays are a 'part' of God, but still separate 'entities'....individuals. Or...the ocean is "God" but each drop of water in that ocean is a part of God, yet an individual entity at the same time. Or...I am Creator (a mother), and each child of mine is a part of me (carries my cells, my genes, etc.) but is still a separate individual. Or, my body is "God", but each cell in my body, every organ, every drop of blood and every vein is an individual part of the whole, much like veggies are a part of tonight's soup...PART of the whole.

We're just ONE being...God, and there are no "god sparks", or "rays", or people or individuals or trees or flowers or beautiful things...NO-THING! Just consciousness/love. Period. BLECH!!!!! That sounds like eternal hell to me. I want to be perfectly happy, but I want to be happy in *surroundings*...in beauty, being an individual but also being a part of (offspring? child?) God/Universe/Creator, and share the love of the creator with other "parts". I hope I'm making sense.

What does the Law of One say about it? I've only read direct statements like "we are one", or "there is only one". But I can't find any real explanations that are clear enough. I have a hard time understanding things sometimes. I feel like I can't adequately move forward without having an understanding of this. I seriously have sobbed about it. I love the idea of being "one" in spirit and purpose...you know, a "unity", but I want to have this while still being a child of God and enjoying other children of God. I want to be an eternal, *individual* soul and enjoy other souls. I don't want to meld into a big entity and be just one entity, literally. I have felt guilty for having the desire to be an individual soul. I've had people tell me this is just my ego speaking.
