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?

The idea is that our brain creates thoughts subconsciously. Have you ever had an uncomfortable thought pop into your head? Ever stand on an edge and think, “what if I jump?” It’s very common. It doesn’t mean that you’re suicidal, your brain does it as a defense mechanism. The thought is not what defines you, it’s the choices and actions that you take that define you.
