Me justifying taking 2 months to only read 30% of Revolt

There is a huge difference between reading a book (so you can put an X on a list, saying you've read it) and digesting it. Most people read carelessly.

In late neoplatonism, the spiritual universe is regarded as a series of emanations from the One. From the One emanated the Divine Mind (Nous) and in turn from the Divine Mind emanated the World Soul (Psyche). Neoplatonists insisted that the One is absolutely transcendent and in the emanations nothing of the higher was lost or transmitted to the lower, which remained unchanged by the lower emanations.

For Plotinus and Porphyry the emanations are as follows:

To Hen (τό ἕν), The One: Deity without quality, sometimes called The Good.

Nous (Νοῦς), Mind: The Universal consciousness, from which proceeds

Psychē (Ψυχή), Soul: Including both individual and world soul, leading finally to

Physis (Φύσις), Nature.
Plotinus urged contemplations for those who wished to perform theurgy, the goal of which was to reunite with the Divine (called henosis). Therefore, his school resembles a school of meditation or contemplation.

"The Roots of Platonism and Vedānta: Comments on Thomas McEvilley on JSTOR" https://www.jstor.org/stable/20106908

Meister Eckhart would not even admit that God was good. ...Eckhart's position was that anything that was good can become better, and whatever may become better may become best. God cannot be referred to as "good", "better", or best because He is above all things. If a man says that God is wise, the man is lying because anything that is wise can become wiser. Anything that a man might say about God is incorrect, even calling Him by the name of God. God is "superessential nothingness" and "transcendent Being" ... beyond all words and beyond all understanding. The best a man can do is remain silent, because anytime he prates on about God, he is committing the sin of lying. The true master knows that if he had a God he could understand, he would never hold Him to be God.

Meister Eckhart has been in my radar for quite some time. His sermons will probably be the next focus of my next reading.
