This isn't entirely incorrect. Read Neoplatonism.
Read Damascius' Commentary on the Phaedo.

It's because Being is Rest and Motion, Likeness and Unlikeness.
But the One is beyond Being, beyond Rest and Motion, beyond Likeness and Unlikeness.
It is solved in Plotinus use of Hypostasis.
Nous/Being and Soul is the One, but the One is not Nous nor Soul.
This is further purified in Damascius' Henads, the Ineffable One is all things yet not all things; all things are, yet there's only the One: the One is not, there's only the All—threefold Nothingeness, a threefold Allness, a threefold One.
Unity with the One is not to dissapear in oneness but to find your destiny your beauty in the hierarchy of being, this then is your fulfillmentm and you perfection is your overflowing into Mind, into Soul, into the Cosmos, into Body, into Matter, and return, recur, live to die. die to live.
Then transcend it all through the freedom of the Will of the Good, unto the next Divine Age.
