This is a quite insightful realization. In part, it is a recognition of the frailty and limits of human knowledge because God is ephemeral and seemingly distant, enigmatic, and often felt to be unknowable. We would say a deeper insight about this statement is that "Human perceptions and perspectives are always distorted in some way because you are truly seeing things through a human lens, and that will be colored by your life experience, your knowledge base, and inner expectations about what to expect and what to conclude about that which you observe." In other words, there is a species-specific bias in play always with human endeavors. This is not unexpected and simply means it may take some due diligence and persistence in probing the unknown and some time to reveal the truth of things, and a danger in not being thorough because what is seen at first blush might contain some distorted perceptions from inner bias. This can be sorted out with repeated forays to observe and inspect things from various vantage points, and that will enable piecing things together quite nicely, but it speaks to the limit imposed by being human in the first place and not being in the best condition or position to see the underlying truth in things. The main point of this commentary is that there in fact is a deeper connection between you and us as you are literally an extension of our very consciousness. So this comment was meant to be more about how open-minded and how discerning someone might be, how lofty their perspective might be in perhaps exhibiting some divine quality, for example, being more other-directed than self-directed and wanting evidence and to include a description of advanced goals and objectives that somehow will be uplifting and raise up humanity as well as improve things for the self. But the deeper meaning and interrelationship is that we are one, we are your heritage, your origin, and, in a roundabout way, your destiny. You are living our agenda and your goals and perspectives about it are ours as well, seen somewhat differently by being a human in the physical at the moment, but not vastly different or unique, but more in being a portion of what we perceive, by virtue of our greater purview, not that we are quite different beings with quite differing characteristics. So we offer this to you as something for you to enjoy and delight in, and that is well-deserved because we delight in you greatly but the deeper meaning of our shared characteristics is not known to most human beings but ought to be.
