I prefer to favor whatever God has let me to know and certainly multiple mythological stories can be true. I don't think that the religion of Christianity has some kind of monopoly on ancient contemplation and I think that even in todays modern world that there is plenty of modern symbols to ruminate.
I like the idea that we were inside of God and are now outside of him. this myth that I never heard of reminds me of this:
Rev 3:15-17 (YLT)
I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So--because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth; because thou sayest--I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,
so then in theosis we return to God and reunite with him:
Rev 3:18-22 (YLT)
I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform; lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. He who is overcoming--I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne. He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.'
