Just as a preliminary response, I would say, no.
No, meaning I don't accept the basic premise of creation as you presented it.
There is a separation between the consciousness of the Original.
The subsequent diad, which together with the Original, makes the triad, are bound inextricably together, but not in a similar fashion to the Original.
The diad made the universe full of diversity, but the spirit which we are comes from the one, but once we exist, fall under the dominion of the two. The cosmic serpent that encircles the universe and set the wind in motion to formalize the unformed, once set in motion can not be stopped.edit on 20-10-2011 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

Whoooooo Hooooooo! You have left nothing for me to add and quite frankly this right here could lead to world peace if everyone could accept this idea. No cult...no religion....just peace with knowing we are a part of the greater I am and everything that comes with it. Life is a mystery but the mystery of life has left clues.

Indeed! But if everyone did that, then we'd no longer be inside the painting! Which is prolly why it'll never happen. Not all at once anyway...edit on 20-10-2011 by LeftySinister because: More to add.
The difference being that religion gives credit to the artist for his masterpiece and science staunchly insists that the masterpiece spontaneously sprang into being of its own volition. Something akin to that picture of the hand drawing itself on paper.

I like that! The paint and the brush created the masterpiece by themselves...very interesting...I'll marinate on that one.
It would be like the double stranded helix of DNA.
You said the diad was responsible for the diversity of creation. Where does your cosmic serpent fit in to that? Wouldn't it turn your Triad into a Quad?

Precisely my thoughts but then I ponder...."Is that the goal"?
Are we creating the painting..or is the painting already created?
If I think we are creating the painting then we have a set goal.
If I think the painting is already created then the goal has been reached.
Pre primordial like what? A collective consciousness that extends back beyond our collective memory or history? Or did it exist before that? Before Creation? If that is the case then it must stem from God or some primary source.
So we return to humanity’s vain folly. In order to understand the Mind of God, we would have to step outside the painting. We would literally have to see every last person, place, thing or idea in the universe AT ONCE and AS ONE. Only then would we “understand the meaning of it all”. Unfortunately the very notion is impossible for the human mind to truly fathom, much less understand.

One more. God separates the light from the dark. His example is to define truth. Since no other being holds truth as high, God is truth. We are lower on the scale of truth. God lives to reveal more truth. We are to do the same. We discover what He knows as we travel the wave of reality. He is infinity at rest. We collapse the indeterminate wave of possibility as we make choices. Our choices create more infinity. Infinity is never ending. Truth continues to expand. This is the example we follow. God is AMAZING!
