Al-Mursalat (The Emmissaries) video

I suppose no one is willing to play my game, so I will just tell you.

In Al-Mursalat, the Emissaries, they are referred to in the following Ayah as "We", the plural: 77:16, 77:17, 77:18, 77:20, 77:21, 77:23, 77:25, 77:38, ...

However, in Ayat 77:39, the reference is to "Me", in the singular.

This matches other Surah, like Al-Haqqah, where Allah is referred to in both the singular and in the plural. For instance, in 69:43
(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
and 69:44
And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

So, what is this about? Allah is both singular and plural? The common interpretation by Islamic scholars is that this is the "Royal We", still referring to the One God, Allah. However, what would be the implications if Allah really was plural in some sense? What sort of sense could be made from it?

Could it be that Allah is both the One and the Many? How could Allah be Many? The Many incarnations whose consciousness is self-identified with the true divine? Indeed.
