The concept of אין עוד מלבדו, (there is nothing other than Him) does not mean that Creation is non-existent and is a mirage. Rather, it means that as compared to Hashem, all is like nothing. His infinite greatness which is not diminished by Creation, cannot be conceived by any Creation.
As long as a person feels a sense of self, of ego, he is, by definition, incapable of comprehending the infinite existence of Hashem. This is the concept of תוהו, wondering and bewilderment, in that a person can know that Hashem is infinite, but can never fully comprehend that infinity.
