But here goes nothing. If your essence is derived from God's essence, and you point to his praise, and your praise is derived from his praise, and all praise in creation, through a connection to God, a living light, a living knowledge of him, that your witnessing of praise being objective and real in your soul, is derived from God witnessing his own absolute praise, his divine unity, his absolute greatness, etc, then it's very easily explainable. Just as God knows he is absolutely Praiseworthy, that knowledge in a lesser finite limited degree exists in creation, derived from his own knowledge of himself. Seeing the divine connection of praise to the absolute source of all greatness, is itself also possible by God's very knowledge of himself. He is the outward and inward, the manifest and the hidden, the explicit and implicit. If your treasure in your soul and what you ought value descended from a higher reality, than that being the property of it can be witnessed, in the same way God witnesses all praise in his unity and witnesses himself as absolute source of all praise, the absolute life by which all life exists.
Yeah, I think you're just throwing God in there arbitrarily. If the light you see in the distance is unreal, you'll still follow it all the same. Remember the Magi in the bible followed a star as well. Parsimony suggests that the fewer entities we multiply, the closer to the truth we will be. You've multiplied entities unnecessarily in my view.
