I would suggest that this is not what is stated in either
Genesis or the
Gospel of Thomas.
Rather, when the "self" and the 'thinker' are removed, what remains is not God at all, but the non-spatial, non-temporal "observing consciousness" (of the Eastern esoteric traditions, and as conveyed in at least some of the teachings of J. Krishnamurti) Created by and in the image of God'.
In other words, whatever God is, is utterly beyond the non-spatial, non-temporal consciousness Created by God.
