Oh, Apollo. I'm so glad you were able to 'play catch-up' here. You've got some excellent responses; I love your goals. (And for the record, I have no doubt you'll reach your dream of writing for a living. You've obvious talent and I can't imagine you won't be successful.)

The Atman Project was my first of Wilber's books, too, and I feel much the same way. 🙂
