I'm familiar with this route via friends (not subscribing to stock religion) describing awareness of this higher self you speak of. A model of therapy that I've cultured an affinity for is the Internal Family Systems model where all but the "Self" are the thoughts or clouds manifest in personas of the mind developed in ones life.

Too, by way of your sky metaphor, I can't help but think of older Mongolian theology of the Great Blue Sky, and I love how you tie in the sky itself were "You" emanate from - more so, how it intentionally or not relates so well. Of course, my interpretation of this all is rooted in speculation rather than experience, but I really appreciate your POV here.
