I'd go so far to say this is an essential topic. Once we start to wake up to the clarity and openness of our innate intelligence, beyond (yet including) logic and reason, concepts, thoughts, emotions, sensations, we start to know ourselves as we really are. An open kind of intelligence that transcends yet includes (got that phrase from Ken Wilber.)

I love how you've recognized these storylines as the genesis and substantiation of an ego construct--a thing to align with that really has nothing much to do with our real self at all. What's interesting to me is how our true nature, our comprehensive intelligence, remains whether we are thinking or not thinking, doing or not doing, etc. It's that clear, alert, bright power to know. Not What is known, not a thing, just the power to know, the sort of space in which and through which everything arises and vanishes naturally.

I find it hard to write about, because it is such a simple thing, yet it is complicated greatly by the way our minds have been abused by millennia of miseducation. But it is as far as I'm concerned the one thing we would all benefit from if we were to all turn our attention to this.
