How about a couple of paragraphs framed around the relevance of the film Inception (which I for one am far more familiar than Thomas' gospel!).
Refer to what I have posted in this thread about Adam + Eve in the Garden:
Cobb = Adam
Mal = Eve
The life they built together in the counterfeit reality = Eve’s counterfeit paradise
Also, refer back to what I posted about Cain and Abel:
Cobb = Cain
Cobb’s children = Kingdom of Heaven / the ideal
Cobb cuts himself off from the Holy Spirit and therefore is cut off / can’t see his children and becomes a “restless wanderer”. It is not until he repents and grieves that he is able to reconnect to the Holy Spirit (final limbo scene) and get unstuck.

Failing this, a final option: lets imagine for the sake of argument that the problem of my failing to understand this message was really one with the messenger. To what online resources that 'describe the same process' could you direct someone like me?
The most we can hold onto are intimations and foggy recognitions of patterns based on shared experience. Otherwise, there would be no Hero’s Journey and no faith moves. When I talk about this stuff landing, I am not expecting to be able to communicate more than that.
To answer your question directly, we are still at the beginning of the beginning with this stuff, so you are not going to find other online resources that describe the process better than I have here. Story, ritual, and art always lead the way before conscious understanding, so you can find the patterns everywhere in those domains if you are capable of seeing them.
