Yeh, as soberlicious remarked 'I love this deep sh**t too!'
And of course, one of the millions of reasons (the 'ten thousand things') to be sober, clear-minded, is so I can actually read and understand the heaps of books out there on such matters. Case in point: I have a library book at the mo, The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the the Myth of the Self, by Thomas Metzinger (2009).
Funnily enough .... do you think I could get through it whilst drinking in recent days? Pretty obvious answer to THAT one, eh?!
