As I understand it*, it's a manner of expressing the idea of existence monism: Strictly speaking, there exists only a single thing, the universe, which can only be artificially and arbitrarily divided into many things.(from Wikipedia)

*Not terribly well at all.

You identify yourself with all. You are one with all.

There is no real separation between you and the rest of the universe. All is one. This way of seeing reality can be called nonduality - this nonduality site goes into more depth.

'one with all' - Is this the same with the idiom 'at one with'?

You identify yourself with all. - you see yourself as being an indivisible part of the universe. All = everything.

He was at one with all - There was no conflict between him and any other part of the universe.

The set phrase is "[to be] at one [with something]": [to be] in total agreement/harmony; to have no conflict.

"Universe" consists of material objects and immaterial concepts/emotions, etc.
