If I understand your post correctly, you seem to be bringing up the conflict of the dualist and monist worldviews that seemingly occur in the Bahai scripture when read at face value. I don't have anything to add to this personally, but it has been written about by Bahai authors. This essay is a pretty enlightening look at the subject. This one as well by the same author also deals in part with the apparent conflict of the dualist and monist systems of thought in the Bahai scriptures, I found myself agreeing with the conclusion of the second essay quite a lot in regards to this subject:

And so the answer to the debate between the monist and the dualist positions appears to be that they are both correct. In physics, when some experimental results seemed to indicate that light was particulate in nature and some seemed to indicate that it was wave energy, Neils Bohr and others conceived the idea of Complementarity to resolve the issue, saying, in effect, that both are correct and it depends on the observer and the methods he uses to observe. A similar solution would appear to apply for the dualist and monist positions. Both viewpoints are correct and both are "real" and depend only on the position of the viewer. Neither has exclusive access to the truth.

We have seen that Bahá'u'lláh regards man as being best situated at a level midway between the monist and dualist extremes. This, as we have indicated, is the position of maximum creativity and maximum ability to adapt either extreme to his use. In a sense, it can be said that this psychological position parallels man's position in the process of physical evolution. Man is the apex of physical evolution, not because he has gone furthest in specializing himself to fit a certain environment -- the animals that do that enter what may be considered evolutionary blind alleys and when the environment changes, they cannot adapt and become extinct. Man's success lies in the fact that he has undergone very little specialisation and so can adapt to all sorts of environments and even to major environmental changes. In the same way, those who spend all their time at the extreme of the monist pathway in trances and those who live their lives strictly by codes of rationalism and positivism at the dualist extreme are down the equivalent of evolutionary blind alleys. Those who maintain the middle position are best situated for creativity, fulfilment, and advancement.
