Interesting you would bring up Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee was an astute scholar of Dao-ism, with the concept of the "Dao" literally meaning the "Way", "Be like water", Yin-Yang being just another synonym of Syzygy (the yoking together of two opposing pairs; Jung's Anima and Animus, etc) That said, I would not be surpised to find Sophia in his words.
Interestingly enough, to the Essenians and their evolutionary successors; the Ebionites, the word "Judaism" did not exist prior Christendom; the Essenians and Ebionites merely referred their their system of belief as "the Way".
The label "Judaism", to describe Saduceeism and Phariseeism, was added after Christendom continued forward with the evolution of "the Way" while Talmudism rejected the evolution, in which Christendom then sub-branched into Catholicism (hyLIC Cathodism), and Ebionitism.
The Roman Empire did not see the viability of allowing Ebionitism to continue to exist, and adopted Cathodism as a reinforcing political pillar, while granting special privileges to "Judaism" who helped to subvert the problems Ebionitism caused within the Empire (and this is where Paul comes into play).
