It is not that there is but One God, it is that there is nothing but God.
I rejected a Dualism a long time ago. It leads to and in fact encourages division. The Sea refuses no river.
There is beautiful thought from the Western Sufi community (Jesus as a Sufi, by the by) that it is not just that we are all minute drops in the Sea of Conscious but that the entirety of that Sea is contained in the drop. If the Jesus tale helps you along, nothing wrong with - but try to understand it.
Original monotheists did not eschew the pantheon of local Gods, the god of agriculture, the god of war, the god of the sea, the god of the wind, there were gods for all manners of things and all legit to the locals as they were mostly local. The Israelites (not Jews yet) said they had ONE GOD who did all and they did not need the pantheon.
