I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it for a while now, and yeah, you are the conscious being that hears your thoughts, but how “deep” does that conscience go?

Hadn’t heard that phrase, but my thought is that if you look at it in the old id, ego, superego theory, thoughts that your id throws out aren’t necessarily reflective of who “you” are. Your ego, in telling the id to pipe down is more reflective of who you are or who you want to be.
Just because your unfettered mind has thoughts, as long as they’re not acted upon they’re not you.
