I've been obsessed

I've had a thought... theory? something stuck in my head the past few days. For some reason I cannot get it out of my head. I have no idea why, but I feel that I must fully understand this concept in all its ins and outs.
The Universe at one point, was compressed into a single, tiny singularity or something similar, yes? That means me, you, every single thing in this universe was at one point, a single entity, a single mass. And I've been thinking that in the larger picture, that has not changed. The universe itself may have expanded, and we have come about as a way for the universe to experience and perhaps understand itself. But you must realize that we are all encapsulated within this single universe still. The size may have changed, but that was all that really did. When I see birds fly overhead, I am reminded that I was once a part of them, as they were once a part of me. I look to the stars and feel much the same.
And it occurred to me that in reality, they are still a part of me, and I still belong to them in the same way. We may have consciousness, But that does not change the fact that we and everything else around us is the universe given form. We have individual egos but they are undeserved. We are the universe, the universe is all of us, and everything. On this level, we are connected intimately with every iota of matter that exists within this plane. We were all so compressed together at one point that we were all smaller than an atom, and now here we all are. With this, I understand, that You, me, the chair I sit on, the air I breathe, the food you eat, the sun burning in the sky... were all and still are, a single whole. I am explaining this poorly because to be truthful, I do not fully understand how to put this into words. I feel that the written language is a poor medium for this.
When I think about this I find that I am much, much kinder to everything and everyone, and it comes from a good place. Not out of fear of punishment, nor fear that I am collecting bad Karma or what have you, that never even enters my mind. I do it because being nice to others, and mindful of everything, even inanimate objects is just... well, natural. I could not be mean to someone now, as I would view it not only as being mean to myself, but mean to everyone and everything else all at once. Do you see what I am trying to say here?
I am obsessed with these thoughts. I feel like there is some mental block that is stopping me from fully comprehending it in every which way. What do you all think?
When I look into another's face, I see myself, and them, and everyone else I have ever met and ever will meet. The same with animals. I would even say that when I meditate on this and begin to gain an understanding, that my awareness expands to the point where I think I may actually feel the ebb and flow of every single little thing around me, even if I cannot see it. I look up at the stars above, and realize they they are myself, looking back down at me. And when I say "Me" I am not saying it as in the me that is Steven. But the me that is all.

An atom is infinite space.
The single entity thing you type of does not make any sense to me.
Form is infinite space, the great expanse.
No big or small, timeless.
I quite liked the rest of what you wrote in your post though
And one of these days, God would clean out his closet.
It's always kind of rung true to me.
If you are thinking this you are on the right track. Once you realise the connectedness of things the normal world of ego grasping and divisions seems completely insane.
