God has infinite power to affect the world we experience. This is because the world we experience is an emanation of him.

In the perceived world of duality (matter and emptiness), anything can be changed. But God is singularity, one. There is neither matter nor emptiness within him. In the oneness, there is no changing or influencing to be done. There is only being.
Yeah I think that's a pretty good analogy. If nothing is outside of God, then everything arises out of Him, yes. In Oneness there is both thing(s) and nothing (form and formlessness), but I guess it could collapse into a greater Reality that is much harder to conceptualize.
