I was reading and listening to something last night that was very similar to this. At first I had a hard time comprehending all of it because the dialog of the interview was highly intellectual. I started looking up all the words to get a better context, but found I could understand for the most part and just listened to Matt and Ted's conversation about some of the masters of Philosophy from about 3,000 years ago that is a very advanced version of "the One".
There were snippets of conversation that were written on the "cover" of the interview that got my attention and caused me to listen to the video. It is a long video but I thought you might find it interesting because of the similarities to the story of I. There was a lot that resonated with me just as your posts did.
Snippets: “There is a way in which the groundlessness of the soul mirrors the anarchic creativity of the divine—not as a fixed structure but as a shared openness to becoming.”
“The way up and the way down are the same. There’s a strange indecipherability between the One and matter, where the highest and lowest coincide in a way that questions the idea of linear hierarchy.”
This is the website if you want to strain your brain more:

I skipped the first part about snakes (about 25 minutes and listened to most of the rest) but I got too tired to finish listening.
