Indeed. I think where the illusion comes in is that we mistake a particular manifestation of energy for a particular soul, so we believe that everyone has an individual soul or whatever, when really the soul is just the container inside which energy can "happen," and that container is space-time (which provides the contraction to counterbalance the expansion of matter/energy)... and the really crazy part is that energy itself is nothing but a modification (a bending to infinity) of space-time (just as space-time is nothing but the modification of energy... a finite bending). So the soul is this container for life that we are all inside of, but we are also part of it because it extends outwards and forms us.
