Why do Steve and the blog on Advaita have different opinions? Because "I" is something that can only be experienced. All the great teachers of Advaita says that they dont have words to define/express the supreme/Consciousness and that it can only be felt. Whenever a question was asked to Nisargdatta about defining "I", he would never have a definition that would explain "I".
I have been in the same place as where you are. What I am suggesting is what you have mentioned in your last line - "something that can only be experienced, not understood". Asking your mind/others to understand what is formless will only give you more answers and probably more confusion.
