The Egg is a nice story. Although tbh it's nothing new in the history of philosophy. I'm guessing from OP's username they are referencing Indian non-dualism (Hindu variants like Vedanta or Kashmir Shaivism to explain my comment below ๐Ÿ˜…, sometimes Buddhism). The core idea being that reality is simply the godhead/universe deluded by its material form.
