Look into gnosticism.

All this shit is so fucking confusing. Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Christianity itself and its mysticism like what Eckhart wrote about, not to mention the Dharmic views, the contemporary comments on all of it like what Jung did... All the diverging visions individually branch off into their own sub-interpretations and I can't make sense of any of them, there's too much information to take in. I feel like there's a way to tie everything together, but how can I do that before having explored all of the possibilities in order to later connect them together?
One lifetime isn't enough to truly understand all of this.
