************
But in the acknowledgment that he or she is your soul mate, and in the willingness and the desire to experience that divine Being that that one is, and in your openness to it that you would reserve for this one soul mate that is your heart's desire, the factions in neighborhoods, the factions in communities, the factions between nations would dwindle, and community would emerge.

************

In the above, the structure of the underlined part doesn't come close to me.

What does "it" refer to?

What is the antecedent of "that", in "that is your heart's desire"?
