BlackBox, it is a complicated subject, especially when attempting to consider the seeming all/one dichotomy. As an example of one cultural interpretation, that your comments made me think of, I found this:
The teachers of the Quetzal-al-Coatl-Atl Temple said:
Unification of the Self is the human's greatest healing. The Higher Self brings Pure Intellect from all higher numbers where the Higher Self dwells. The Higher Self is the balance of energy.
The teachers of the Temple of Chim-Atl-Lan-Helan said:
Madness results when humans are not present with their bodies and with Life. To be completely separated from the Self and totally separated from the presence of Life results in madness. Humans who have gone mad are separated from Life's energies and do not know how they relate to existence.
The Zero Chiefs of of old teach us that Ten is Intellect and Measure---the measure of all existence. Every human has the potential to measure Life and thought, and to reason, because Creation has created Pure Intellect; this is our Ten.
To evolve and become a higher being, within Essence, is the Challenge for every Spirit born into Substance.
The Pure Intellect knows that Life is not long. Spirit does not fear Death. Pure Intellect is Spirit and is Deathless.
The center force of the Medicine Wheel can also be seen when we look at the example we have from the early Greeks. In this way we can understand the thinking of our Chiefs here in the Americas.
Ancient names within teaching stories like Psyche ("Circle") and Cupid ("Cube") described the the center force of the Wheel. The Circle and the Cube describe the ideas and realizations discovered through Mathematics.
It should not come as a suprise that Spirit and Substance were thought to have "fallen in love" as Psyche and Cupid.
Psyche is the beautiful Goddess. She is the Circle or Sphere. Cupid is the beautiful
God. He is the Cube or Square.
Like WahKahn and SsKwan, every angle or mathematical formula is born from the Sphere and the Cube, the Circle and the Square. This is Psyche-Circle and Cupid-Cube.
When they are centered in the Self, humans are a "true Five" according to the Zero Chiefs. A 5 person will consider all things from a five Self point of view first.
Sexuality is one. There are people who are driven by their sexuality; they place one before five.
For the Centered human, sexuality begins with the five.
Both figures express themselves in the Present, the six. But the approach, and the result, are very different.
It must be remembered that hundreds of combinations exist as relationships among the Numbers, but here are several:
A 2 + 5 (Will plus Self) person is not the same kind of being as a 5 + 2, a person who is centered in the Self first.
The woman or man who places emotions first, 3 + 5, is not a balanced person. It is better to be a 5 + 3.
When the equation is 4 + 5, instead of the 4 being courage, it becomes fear or rage. It is better to be a 5 + 4--- a human plus courage.
As you can see, placing the Self, 5, first is very important.

So the concept of facets, or number aspects, which are rarefactions of Pure Intellect/ Math/ Number, correspond to the Higher Self, and "adamics", or humans,
(as defined for this expirement purpose here), who are individualized identities with unique combinations of numbers manifested as substance.
Thus each human and his individual created form is a particular variegated creation and will percieve his numbers symbols and synchronicites in a unique way. So each one can be a human, or adamic, yet quite different type of being from other humans.
The Higher Self is Pure Intellect, but individual synchronistic expressions of number are our Selves. Numbers not as divisible fragments, synchronicities not as tailored, but as indestructible essential Essences created, drawn, "brought forth" by the Creator as indissoluble, unique and eternal.
