Maybe we're all One and connected but unaware of it?

The Buddha often spoke of brahmas (supreme beings who are shinier and superior to Maha Brahma, the Great "Supremo," the God of the Brahmins (the priestly self-proclaimed highest caste), who seem unaware of superior brahma worlds. (Wiser Brahmins hold Brahman, the GOD, the supreme reality, not the individual brahmas).
But as for these many brahmas, one day, the Buddha became aware of a thought, a superiority complex, arising in the mind of Baka Brahma. So he paid him a visit. That God was stunned to see a mere wandering ascetic appear in his heaven with the temerity to ask him questions or deign to know more than he knew. The Buddha spoke of these higher "heavens" and superior beings then instructed that God to notice the transience of his heavenly world and his own nonimmortality.
While Baka Brahma disputed it, the Buddha proved it to him first with a demonstration of his psychic powers, disappearing so that that God could not see him, outdoing that brahma's abilities, which is impossible, then not being able to do the same feat. It humbled the God, who was fond of thinking himself the "I am" at the heart of the universe, the creator of all, who wished for company and later saw other beings appear.
